  1. If anyone is interested in some 1911 mags I am selling a set of 4 chip 10rounders for .45, and also 2 brand new Wilson 9rd mags for .40.
  2. Has anyone who has this carbine tried any drop in triggers? The website says it doesn't reccomend using any, but I'm curious if any tests have been done outside the manufacturer by you guys. also, my local got 3 in stock and I handled one yesterday. It's an interesting piece for sure. The bolt is, as stated above, "unique". And the shortened upper and lower are also interesting as well. Has a solid looking LRBHO assembly and a built in feed ramp. The weight seems pretty light compared to full sized alternatives.
  3. I had it mine for 3-400 rounds and it was fine. Just have to remember to keep the set screws all the way down and/or use some blue lock tight on them
  4. What ammo are you using? Also what lower and buffer setup do you have?
  5. I have one that I bought from a fellow enos member. I'm still working tirelessly to find the best combination of buffer and ammo. However, I will say without question that I like it head and shoulders over my first pcc that had a full 16"barrel and a comp and a 15" hand guard. Here's why.. the heavy barrel gun had less dot bounce and my double taps at about 35' were within about 2" of each other. the ULW has a bit more bounce, but with a firm grip and a stout shoulder weld the dot is back on target almost as quickly as I can pull the trigger. Double taps at about 35' are about 3". So, slightly less accurate on follow up shots, but well within Azone parameters. The reason it wins out is simply the weight. It is noticeably easier to run with, transition, and one-handing the rifle. Also, in my last match I had some target about 50' out and I had no problems scoring all A's on them. Sure a true rifle might be better for 75'+ targets, but how often do those pop up in a uspsa match?
  6. I can't definitively answer that question. In each match where I've used the mags I've had failure to feed problems multiple times. However, these are the only mags I've tried so I don't know if it's a gun issue or a mag issue. All I can say with certainty is that taking them down to clean is an event. I now have a pair of wilson 10 round mags that I'll be testing this weekend in a match and I hope to get a tripp hybrid follower to try as well. We we shall see...
  7. This is exactly the info I was hoping to find. I have the same problem with the stock wilson mag and followers having a difficult time reloading on the fly with a closed slide. I was looking hard at the Tripp followers...now I'm going to order them. i have 5 of the McCormick mags, but they are a royal pain to take down and clean during matches. Maybe there's some magic trick I don't know about, but for what I know they are a pita!
  8. https://www.deltateamtactical.com/AR-15M4-3-lb-Drop-In-Ultra-Match-Skeletonized-Performance-Trigger-System--Crimson-Red-_p_5180.html crisp 3lbs, short reset, amazing value and they come in flat or curved. I have 3 of these and a 24c. I like the 24c the most simply because of the adjustable finger pad, but aside from that these triggers from delta are pretty much the best bang for the buck for lesser priced drop ins.
  9. want to sell your other mission stock?
  10. Eric, I inspected the screws on my NFA gas key and they were loose. I followed suit and applied locktite (blue because its all I had) and wrenched down on them. After almost 200 rounds I inspected it again and they are still rock solid tight. Thanks for the tip!
  11. I'm curious, you say you went through "several variants of weights and springs....we know it is reliable in that configuration" --should I assume this is using some brand of factory ammo? IF so, mind sharing what ammo you used and the data? Also, what spring and buffer di you land on for the factory ammo use? Also, have you guys considered testing your barrels / buffer combinations to figure out what suits competition shooters who will likely be shooting ammo that is considerably lower power factor (typically in the 130-140pf range) to that of most factory ammo (typically over 145pf) from 16" barrels, and also longer loaded? It would be a great service if a company like yours with all of your resources available to do some testing and then be able to market certain setups directly to the competitive realm as opposed to just general builders and Timmey tactical +P folks.
  12. I learned something.... My precision delta reman ammo is 147g RN FMJ 1.157 OAL and they are feeding fine. ...my gun can't cycle short loads.
  13. I tried to push a couple in and I couldn't. And to clarify, these are not Winchester white box, they are remanufarured "white box". they are 1.087 oal
  14. Bought a box of 115fmj at the gun show this weekend to see how it did. It jammed on every single attempt. It simply would not feed, even hand cycling the rounds wouldn't go into battery. On the other hand, I shot 180 rounds of the precision delta reman 9mm FMJ and didn't have a single hiccup. Looking at the ammo it appears to have very little, if any, crimp. Anyone else ever try the white box? Successful?
  15. I'd rather look good and lose then look bad and win! not really, I just can't stand plain. This is a hobby and I like to have fun with it ?
  16. For those whom have experience, if you had to buy one or the other, which would it be? Let's assume the price of the lowers are identical.
  17. Wouldn't a lighter spring make it cycle slower? The same combo in my gun works very well with the green spring, but that's with the 5.25" taccom barrel.
  18. Update. I took the gun to the range and ran 200 rounds through it. I did everything from slow single shots to double taps to triple and quadruple taps. I only had one issue with one round. It was a precision delta remanufactured 9 mm 147 fmj. The round went into battery but it obviously hit the barrel extension pretty hard because it was not locked into the bolt (so it did not fire when I pulled the trigger) and upon inspection the primer was not hit and there was a pretty good size plateau on the nose of the bullet (forgot to take a picture). I shot 100 reman precision deltas, 80 SNS coated 125's, and 20 factory Winchester. Overall I would say it did pretty well and the reman precision deltas were clearly softer than my reloads. also, the setup with the taccom ULW and my JPSCS shoots very well. The dot barely moves and it returns to target amazingly fast. Double taps at 10 yards fit into a 50 cent piece on every try. At 20 yards shooting doubles and triples I never left the A zone. Oh yeah, I've never cleaned a 6 plate rack as fast as I did today. And it's at 25 yards...Amazing!!
  19. Tim, I think you hit the nail on the head... My lower has a very loose tolerance in the magwell! I put a mag in and it wiggles around like a limp noodle. So, to further test the theory of QC10's being better, I just called a buddy of mine who has a qc10 glock lower and asked him to insert a mag and see if it wiggles. He said it fits in like a glove and barely moves at all. I think the problem is all in my lower and it's looseness!
  20. That looks good from here! I'm curious how this was done.
