I'm trying to put together an order by midnight to take advantage of the free barrel for Veteran's Day deal, but having trouble making up my mind on a few options.
Im in the exact same situation!

Following. Lettuce know how/if they work.

One of my PCC’s has one and I can’t make it jam. It just eats and eats and eats.

I have several different bolts and the only one, yes the only one, that has not had a single failure to feed, cycle, or eject has been the taccom. Tim has massaged and tuned his bolts in all the right places.
Mine is not the one with the fancy nickel coating, because I’m a poor, but they are mechanically identical.
Aside from that, Tell your neighbor not to cheap out on the parts that count (lower, trigger, bolt/buffer, mags) but to go full-poor on all the other stuff and it will still likely run (upper, handguard, barrel, buffer tube, shoulder stock, sights, lasers, bayonets, gizmos and do-hickeys)

Following...inquiring minds want to know!

Sounds like yellow jackets in a frenzy. Those little devils don’t calm down until their enemy is destroyed..or in my case, until my ear, my lip, my back, and my inner thigh (exceptionally close to the family jewels) were destroyed. Hate those things.

The best combination I’ve found is the taccom 3 stage buffer and the rifle spring. And no, I don’t have a rifle length buffer tube.
however, before you run out at purchase anything new, stay tuned because a brand new type of system is coming out soon and it’ll trump everything currently on the market, and it won’t be outrageously priced either.

I’ll buy it off you if you make that switch!

Well guys I think I completed my mission. It took some custom parts and lots of tweaking, but the finished product is 62.5 ounces (3.90 lbs).
This gun is purpose built for steel challenge only and we were able to create a load/buffer/spring/trigger combo that runs 90pf ammo flawlessly. And best of all the dot barely even wiggles and the recoil feels about equal to my 10/22 shooting mini mags!
When my kid opened her box Christmas morning and took it out she said “is this really a PCC daddy? It feels lighter than my 10/22!” Truth be told, it’s 3 ounces heavier than her 10/22, but the weight is balanced well to make it feel lighter.

I’ve used 147 with 2.8 for steel and 3.2 for uspsa.
with 124/5’s I use 3.2 for steel and 3.8 for uspsa

Tim, i finally see the light! I’m sure everyone already knows the difference, but I didn’t. The new style bolts have a plateau cut on top where the charge handle grabs them. This way, the heavy key on the first gen bolts can go bye-bye and a trimmed down key can take its place. In the case of your extreme bolt, it is a VERY slimmed down version.
So, with the old version key it is heavy and it gets slammed forwards, hits the charge handle, and cranked backwards when charging. No wonder they fall apart, bad design.
I ordered aomw some new grade 8 screws to repair my old bolt, but It’s going in my Range bag and I’m ordering a new style.
Thanks for your bluntness...the world needs more of you ?

This is why we get the monkey see, monkey do crap. A correctly made bolt engages the charge handle.......not the key........no argument, if you do, you are an idiot

Where’s the best place to buy food replacement bolts?

I’ll try that approach and see what happens. Thanks for the tips!

FTE seems to be the problem. Perhaps a new extractor? I will say the rifle only had about 3-400 rounds through it so far.

Okay so I have in my possession a 3 stage buffer along with both a rifle and a carbine spring.
My gun has an NFA bolt with the weight removed and the taccom ULW Barrel. I’m primarily using the gun for steel challenge and right now my ammo is about 115pf.
anyone else have a similar setup? What spring works best, bolt weighted or non?

No kidding.
One night my second wife kept yelling out, "Benjamin, more. Benjamin, more!" I said, "What the hell! My name's not Benjamin."
She said, "I was talking about painting the ceiling, you idiot."

My daughters 15-22 won’t run mini mags, they jam every other shot. Standard velocity seems to work great. Anyone else experience this?

I’m hunting a new bag for my 10y/o shooter. What are the deninsions of yours?

Ya know.......one thing I've not seen done yet is someone taking the new MagPul grip and drilling a shit pot full of holes in it.
Standby ?
actually, just using a milspec as my prototype for now.

Update
got my TN arms poly lower in yesterday. It weighs 7.8 oz stripped.
found a way to save a $150. Spikes stripped forged upper weighs 5.8 and it’s only $80 at joe bobs part# SFT56M4

My 13 year old daughter who is 5' 4" and 123 lbs shoot her first steel challenge match with her PCC, and she too was questioning the weight of her gun. I ordered her a taccom handguard and buffer system.
The responses got me thinking about changing out some more components to go even lighter.
I think if you added the taccom ULW Barrel you would see the most gains (weight-loss) of any other mid you could do.

Is it hard to get the weight that low? I built an actual 5.56 gun that comes in right at the four pound mark with mro. I spent a small fortune to do it but I literally found the lightest parts available and used them. I’m assuming cost is a factor in this hunt
This is for my precious baby...cost is not a factor (as long as the CEO doesn’t know LOL)

Houge polymer pistol grip is like 1.5 ounces. Double check that safety works with that trigger. I don't believe it does. I have seekens ambi in my PCC I like it.
I didn’t know they were so light. I figured hogue stuff was heavy. Thanks for the safety tip, I’ll research it a bit, but also check out the seekins.

Here’s my perception and my reasoning for choosing aluminum.
I too will be shooting mostly minor, but also mostly for steel challenge. Therefore, I don’t wan the extra weight to slow me down and I don’t think I’ll need it to help offset what minimal recoil there claims to be with this gun.
However, I will also occasionally be using it to shoot .40 for USPSA matches. But if it shoots as soft as others have claimed then I’m not to worried about the implications of the reduced weight of the aluminum grip.
Also, if you’re worried about the aluminum breaking, stop worrying now. I’ve been reassured that if it fractures they will make it right.
Finally thought, if you are only going to shoot minor, don’t even consider the extra money on the heavier steel. Just get the aluminum and use $200 saved for more ammo or mags....or a nitro fin
