Sees Target (5/11)

  1. Did you ever hear of an issue with the grease on their pistols? Reason I ask is because I just recently had to clean mine due to an issue I had recently, and good lord was it nasty in there. It was my first time detail cleaning it. I've only used 3n38 it as well which I'm changing.
  2. I absolutely love mine and can't wait to get a 2nd one for the room.
  3. This is what I experience frequently after ignoring the comp for a few k. No matter what the powder it seems. I end up cleaning it with a small bronze brush tool I found at harbor freight and a dash of Hoppes. I may need to use a small metal pick to chip a chunk out or something. I've never tried this but can't wait to now.
  4. ^This. The walk-thru won't be possible for everyone out there but sending regular updates of the build process for something like this goes a long way. Congrats on the blaster, I bet it's fun as hell to shoot.
  5. 16:9 is the standard. if you're viewing just on your phone, maybe the other way if you like portrait mode. You're not using the 360 in practice as a hat cam are ya?
  6. I try to touch the gun at least once a day, even if the practice isn't very long or detailed and a match 2-3 times a month. I try to get a live fire session in on one of the off weeks with a weekend.
  7. No lubing afterwards. The oil came with the pistol. It's some blue stuff. I'm going to give Lucas oil a try next match and see how things fair. I was just curious if anyone else here ran into that before.
  8. Anyone on this thread mark their brass and have it affect the oil's viscosity after a few stages? Has it ever caused a FTF/FTE? I use a thick red sharpie line on my brass for the best visibility in my environment and have found that after a few stages the marker dye is mixing with the oil causing the slide to slow down a bit. A few drops on the rails fixes it, but if I could find a better oil for my situation or a better way to mark brass that still allows it to be highly visible (thick lines vs thin line).
  9. They didn't for me. I sent an email asking if the quoted wait times were still accurate and for some pictures of their toolkit they offer cause I'm really curious what that whole package looks like. 10 days after the email was sent I got the phone call asking for final payment and a FFL.
  10. Do they do that? I didn't think any of the higher tiered builders rushed anything, especially these guys. Let's hope you're wrong and mine was just a simple build.
  11. Quoted wait time at build: 8-10 months Date deposit given: 11.2.21 Notified pistol is ready to ship: 08.25.22 Pistol type: Open Hope this helps someone.
  12. Any idea why it would be that long over the quoted time? Did he order something extra ornate or something?
  13. First, sorry about that RDS thing going on. You have to be pissed waiting that long for those only to hate the one thing you are staring at the most on the guns. I can't remember any of their US shooters running that sight and it seems like such an obscure RDS. Second though, crap! 12ish months when you were given probably initially given the 6-8 month build window is really disappointing to me. I was given an 8-10 month window late last year and now it sounds like it'll probably be Christmas before I see that one. Maybe yours took longer because you got two at one time?
  14. You're able to make major with only 8gr of HS-6 with a v6 middy with a KKM? I only ask because I have the same gun, down to the slide cuts, and it takes at least 8.6 with 8.8 to stay 170-175ish which keeps the dot moving straight up and down. It still leaves the glass, but I think that happens no matter what load one uses.
