  1. I was out playing with my gamer rifle the other day and was routinely hitting .11 splits and there were a few times where I hit, what felt and sounded like, much faster (maybe 8s or 9s). However every time it happened that shot was not recorded on the timer. Anyone’s now if there’s a limit to the pp2? Is there a way to adjust? I always thought sensitivity is to adjust for quieter guns. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. A complete upper from a reputable manufacturer like BCM should not need to be tuned for reliability. If you’re putting together the upper yourself a 11.5 barrel with carbine length gas has a very good reputation for reliability. You can add an adjustable gas block if you plan to shoot suppressed. A 10.5 will normally run just fine too but that 1” equates to a much shorter dwell time which can result in reliability issues. A heavier (h2,h3) buffer and blue sprinco spring can help with reliability by slowing the carrier speed. If building the lower now, go with the a vltor a5 buffer system. I have a 13” mid-gas (cut down from 16”) with a 0.076 gas port. The first time I shot it, I had several failures to eject. I believe it was unlocking early and the carrier speed felt very fast. This was with a regular carbine spring and h1 buffer. I swapped to h2 buffer and blue sprinco spring and it has been good to go. However, I decided to order a vltor a5 tube and their a5h3 buffer for the lower because I feel the 13” mid gas is right on the edge of reliability and the a5 should help increase dwell time and smooth out the carrier (plus, waiting on suppressor and will eventually get a 10.5-11.5 upper) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. For the limcat, the steel insert is bolted in place underneath. You’ll probably need to heat it up to break them loose. I wouldn’t bother refinishing the insert though. Paint or cerakote won’t hold up long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Mine was originally cerakote silver but once it started to get beat up I sanded it off and polished the brass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I guess it’s a good time to compare rear sights too. Never put too much thought into before and just ran with what it came with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Thanks. I’m not at all unhappy with the Dawson I use now. Just building a new top end and thought I’d explore something different. Will likely just stick with what I know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Does it basically just make the fiber appear smaller? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Anyone have experience with both? If so does the manny dot provide any advantage or disadvantage while shooting fast? Seems like it would be more precise but wondering if it feels slower. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Carry a zip tie or similar in your pocket. If you stop someone for a suspected squib you can confirm by passing the zip tie through the barrel before they go to the safe table to check. Much quicker and easier than trying to look down the barrel. Also (especially at locals) make sure the RO on the scoring tablet knows that they should be on the opposite side of the shooter as you and do not need to be certified to make a call for a safety violation that you are not able to see.

  10. I efiled for an SBR on 12/10. Rolled my own fingerprints (amazon kit). Sent them in on 12/18 and got my approval Wednesday (1/22). Guessing it would have been sooner if not for the holidays. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Seriously! I’ve heard them get a lotta flak for over moderation but enos is the only place I know of online where you can agree to trade someone a thousand dollar scope for a thousand dollar gun and have no worries whether or not the gun will show at your ffl in the condition you were told (and vice versa) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Any updates on release date? Would love to see one in the wild and hear initial impressions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. No. Not sure what it weighs but seems about perfect to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Same one (brass limcat) I just removed the chipped cerakote and polished it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. She has her heart set on one! Loves the trigger on my 2011 and the grip on her shadow 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I don’t get it. Do you have details of how it works? Is this just playing with buffer weights? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Could have saved everyone a lot of time if you mentioned this earlier. Reading your original post makes it sound like you were shooting a brand new factory configuration rifle that didn’t work when, in reality, you tried to play gunsmith and had no idea what you were doing. This forum has a wealth of information but you have to give to get. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I load/shoot about 30k PC bullets/year. The 9s are sized at .356. Zero issues with leading and they are very consistent. Not sure if this is the norm or not but they size them again after coating. https://www.kingshooters.com/bulk-pc-bullets/bulk-pc-bullets-3014 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. 25.3 of varget is my go to with a 69gr smk. It’s consistently 1/2 moa for me. Did you go up that far in your ladder test? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. That’s what I’m thinking now that I’ve researched more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Also...it’s sounding like this is more complicated than tossing a 40 upper on it and getting 40 mags, base pads and magwell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Any idea what the max capacity is in 40 with extended base pads? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Is it possible? My daughter just finished her first year in uspsa as a junior shooting a shadow 2 in production. She’s thinking she’d like to shoot limited next year and possibly shoot nationals. Limited minor is an easy solution but wondering if it’s possible to get a .40 top end for her shadow 2? Googling has not turned anything up and getting her a matching set of TSOs for Christmas isn’t in the cards right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Can’t remember if it was free or not. You need to mark a 1” reference point. Select distance, caliber the add the impacts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. The smaller group is a 52 gr smk with 25.5 of h335. The other is a 69 gr smk with 23.5 of Varget. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
