    Breda B12i 2nd shell issue

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted

    My issue with y Breda is when I have 2 shells in the gun.  The 1st is shot and ejected but the 2nd doesn’t get all the way in and jams the gun.  It’s like the lifter is not putting the shell in the center of the barrel.   Any help would be appreciated.

    So if you turn gas down any further bolt won't lock back?  Has this been adjusted since you added the SCS and low mass bcg?

    What length barrel and gas length?  Is it a lightweight build?  Heavier rifles usually feel better.  

    yes bolt won't lock back, yes when I put the lmbcg i re adjusted the gas block.  not much different than the standard bcg. 16" barrel, i belive mid length gas system, not a light build.  someone said find lighter ammo, there all around 3100fps+/- from what I found.

    TTI lightspeed spring and remove weights from standard buffer is cheap and easy.  Taccom setup is good too.  JP SCS is expensive, but really nice.

    Yes I dropped the money on the scs.  It is very quiet.  I didn't order the the spring pack because I didn't think 5% less spring would make that big of difference.  I thought about trimming the spring.

    Before you start changing buffers I would really recommend to get an adjustable gas block, without it you'll be moving a lighter carrier faster into a lighter buffer that offers less resistance creating more cycling issues and most likely increasing the perceived recoil since everything is moving faster. Like said above its all a system so to run good you need to tune all 3 parts. For gas block I would recommend SLR or Odin works anf for buffer either the JP silent captured spring or the Taccom ULW 

    I have an adjustable gas block.  and i have a jp captured spring with the 85% spring but I feel that i still have to much recoil.  I also have sjs titian brake.  is there big differences in adjustable gas blocks?

    I am having trouble wrapping my head around reciprocating mass.  Today I had a 3 gunner say he uses a extra power spring, lighter buffer and a lmbcg.  others say light spring, light buffer, adj gas block.  I guess my question is like CharlieD said above less gas?  So I want as much gas to go out the front of the rifle? Please explain

     

    Thanks

    ok wow, so many scopes and options..........so I will get some more. Looking for a 3 gun scope. new shooter not a big budget about $500. I hear talk about the Vortex Strike eagle, PA 1-6x (can't even get), swfa ss 1-4. older shooter so quick field of view is important. Also the type of mount. some guys have just scope rings, off set by 2, off set by 3" and the mfg. american made with the extra money? Just looking to narrow it down

    Sounds like a pretty low round count. I'd say take the average used price for your area (I'm in CA so everything here way more pricey) let's say 600$. Add cost of trigger job and mag release, heavy buffer tube are you talking guide rod? Depending on which that's $ there. I.e. I have same gun, $165 for trigger, 85 for tungsten guide rod. 825-850, w only the three factory mags. (Of course I'm in ca so paid more to begin w but I'm guessing you're in a free state)

    I have been looking on line and cant find this gun in stock for under 750 new. yes tungsten guide rod. he's asking 900

    Hey Guys,

    New to competition shooting. Went to the range and rented a xdm and a m&p. Both in 9mm. Xdm edged out the m&p. Shot my first steel match with a friends xdm .40. He wants to sell it. Has trigger job, heavy buffer tube, over sized mag release. What should I pay for this, said maybe 500-1000 rds through it. Also shot a glock 34, liked that but was a little wide ( front to back) for my stuby hand. Thanks

    Thanks for the replies! Sorry for the delay as I am getting used to the forum and how to get back to my posts. First my hands are large not giant but stubby fingers.(gun mfg direction?) Will the gun shops carry competition guns typically? I do not own bullet reloading equipment. Should I think seriously about that? What does power factor mean? Is it reloading with less gun powder? Sorry about the simplicity of the questions :blush:

    What kind of equipment do you currently have?

    What type competitive shooting are you planning on getting into?

    Are you reloading yet?

    I'd start by buying a book on dry firing, and start practicing with

    your current equipment, think about what kind of equipment

    you want to buy and consider reloading. :cheers:

    This will give you a head start - doesn't Spring begin in

    Wisconsin around the middle of May? :devil:

    I am not reloading, well I reload shot shells but just started with that. a mec 650jr fell into my lap with a couple hundred rounds of shells, wads and powder. As far as competitive shooting the 3 gun looks fun. I have seen videos thats it. Plan on watching a USPSA match next weekend. I am very competitive and would probably like most but looking for advice on where to start. I don't have my pistol yet. I have an AR that I just built with a 16" ss barrel 1in 10 twist, no optic just iron as I wanted to see what most guys used. The only shot gun I have that is semi is a Remington 1100 1980's-90 vintage. I just bought Ben Stoeger's book. I do have a glock 23 .40 gen 2 vintage I could practice with. I am ready to purchase. A shooter I met said his friend has a Xdm 5.25 .40 with the trigger job, 3 mags, heavy buffer tube for $900. Any advice would be appreciated

    Welcome to the forums. I used to live in Waukesha. The shooting season was about 6 weeks long from about mid June until the end of July. After that it was winter, lol.

    I know what you mean but looks like a long summer coming, sorry for the slow response as I am learning how to check back on the post

    Thanks for the replies. I looked up the x-caliber, very neat looking gun. I own a glock 23 .40 gen 2. I just put a 3.5 lb trigger and hi vis front site. Haven't got it to the range yet. The gun I purchase will be strictly used for competition. When I take the glock to the range and put rounds through it, she kicks like a mule. I have noticed that most guys use 9mm? and they are reloading lighter rounds (whole nother info collecting)
