Agree with the rebranding. Mine is a raptor co-branded VLtor
-
I have a SD3G. It's great on hoser stuff but definitely a compromise on accuracy work. The reset is phenomenal but that's about it.
It depends on what you want it for.
Ok at $180, which is what I paid for mine last year on a primary arms sale.

Raptors are great. Geissele is even better.
I am a huge fan of the raptor, just not the price of a raptor. Racking the charging handle becomes more of a gross motor skill, since all you have to do is pull on it and it disengages the latch.
I acquired one on a rifle, but I still wouldn't go out and buy one unless it was deeply discounted.

Just out of curiosity, when the BATF wrenches a comp to check compliance, do the twist it to failure or do they have a set torque amount they consider it good?

I doubt it would ever get to this point. There are far bigger fish to fry, and they'd probly only be looking at this if you were in trouble for something real.

As mentioned before, use the mortar technique.
Works every time, most of the time.

MTAC 1-4. Great rugged scope. At your budget, will leave you plenty of room for a solid mount.
My MTAC comes off my 3-gun rifle from Nov-Jan to go on my .300blk SBR for deer season. It has been super abused, and is shiny now from wear. Been dropped in the woods, spiked in dump barrels, and keeps on ticking.
Great reticle, well built, and clear glass for the price.

I had the same binding issue during installation with 3 of them. The adapter quickly smoothed out on its own but the end of the rod itself just needed a quick polish and it was good to go.
My .270 gen 4 was very rough at first with the Wolff spring, but greased it and it broke in quickly. Sounded pretty bad for the first few mags, kinda gritty/squeaky. Great product though.

That stinks. On the positive side I've had very fast (same week) turn around with AAC, should be the same folks if you are sending it to Huntsville.

Now I'm just curious, how do you know there were no reloads shot through it if you bought it used? And how worn does the rifling look in the barrel? I've never seen a Glock barrel break like that before. If it were truly only factory ammo shot though it I'd think it would take a ton of rounds to do that.
I bought it from a fellow shooter. I can't say definitively that it has never seen reloads, but he has had it for quite some time and wasn't reloading.
-
Which stinks, but I can imagine the massive financial obligation of having a lifetime replacement policy when dealing with so many pistols would be way too much. They would have to jack up the price for sure. I'm counting this as valuable experience. I used to tell people they couldn't go wrong with a used Glock, but you most certainly can!

I would be upset at glock if I shot factory ammo and my barrel cracked like that then they wanted $150 to put a new one in.
It would be different if it weren't 16+ years old or had a known round count. Their stated warranty is only one year, so I'd say that refurbing all the springs and small parts is already well in excess of what they are required to do.
Subject to terms, conditions and limitations outlined below, GLOCK, Inc. guarantees its pistols against defects in materials and workmanship that adversely affect their operation for a period of one (1) year from the date of their original purchase by the initial consumer. This warranty is valid only for pistols purchased and used in the United States of America, its territories and possessions and Puerto Rico.

From what I've seen Glock seems to be hit or miss with whether they'll charge for replacements such as this. Based on that serial # that G35 is 16 years old and I think was made pretty early after they came out with the 35. So I guess you can't blame them for not covering a new barrel. Do you know round count through that barrel?
I don't know the round count. I'm definitely not upset at Glock. I was hopeful to get a new one, but I was really interested in hearing why it happened.

read somewhere carbon nitriding makes metals brittle somehow
I specifically asked them if the tennifer can make the chamber brittle and they gave me an adamant "no".

I talked to Glock, they want me to pay $150 to replace the barrel. They did not know what caused it, they couldn't claim over pressure since there wasn't damage elsewhere on the gun, which would be typical.
Unfortunate, and I am out $40 shipping it to them. At least they'll refresh the small components.
Definitely not spending $150 on an OEM .40 barrel.

It happens, Glock will send you a new barrel. I've cracked 2 slides over the last 25 years, and they made it good.
That's good to hear. Most folks seem to have positive experiences with their customer support.

That's crazy.
Did glock pay the shipping or did you? And don't tell them reloads were shot though it!
I paid the overnight shipping ($40 from AL). I'm not aware of any reloads ever being fired in it.

Check out my G35 barrel. The cracks go all the way through to the chamber. There was no indication of any issue in firing it, I only noticed when I had the gun disassembled.
I don't know the full history of the barrel, I found this just after purchasing it. I'm thinking it to be more long duration fatigue vs a single event. The previous owner never had a double charge or overpressure event that he noticed. Either way, it's something I'm going to inspect for in the future. Not sure how the failure would have progressed, but it wouldn't have been pretty.I sent the whole gun to Smyrna to see what they think.

I second the Jager, I use the heavy captive one that only works with Wolff round springs.
-
I'd use a crush washer and tighten it up to about 2'oclock and shoot it. See how it feels as you approach 1 o'clock or a little past.
Crush washers are one time use, you can't back off once you're past where you want to be.
edit sorry that was late

My Gen 4 G34 also goes about 2-3 feet away from my feet with minor PF 147s and a Wolff 12lb recoil spring.

I've switched back and forth between the Geiselle Match and 3gun triggers, and have settled on the 3gun for, well, 3 gun. I prefer the two stage Match trigger for long range shooting, but the 3gun for close work. Overall, the best compromise (for me) is dealing with the 3gun at long range, rather than the Match on hoser stages.
With my experience so far, I tend to agree with you. Most of the shooting I do is bays, with generally one or two stages out to 200 at our local club. I think with enough practice, I'll get better controlling the break of the S3G in long range.

I really like my SD3G for up close rapid fire but from a bench or when trying to get a slow trigger press for the most accuracy it doubles or triples on me.
I have to deliberately pull the trigger ALL the way to the rear or it will bump fire.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI haven't experienced a bump fire yet but it doesn't surprise me. The reset is so short, it wouldn't take much.
-
Beware trying the 35-40s with a 1x7" twist. My last barrel would spin the jackets off of lightly constructed bullets occasionally. No harm or anything but it doesn't help your score. I vote for 55gr, cheap and simple.
-
Back to the topic, I ran an SSA for two seasons and just switched to an S3G. I haven't decided yet if the speed on the bay stages makes up for the (in my opinion) decreased ability to control the break at long range.

Wolf Gold, generally it's .29-.31 per round. Generally a little more accurate than other bulk m193, and similar velocity.
