Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Added a Barsto threaded barrel, TXG grip module, Springer open compensator, and Neumount to a P320 RX. Haven't shot it much yet.
  2. On the Cast Boolits forum, there's a thread about 3d printed case and bullet collators. The STL files and instructions are available there. I've printed both the Case and Bullet collators and they work well. Adjustments are critical, just like with the commercially available ones. I'd suggest that for anyone who likes to tinker with mechanical things, both the 3d printer and the printed collators are fun. For those that aren't tinkerers, I'd suggest sticking with the commercial ones. By the way, message me if anyone wants a bit more detailed info.
  3. That’s good to hear. Which brand 115 JHP?
  4. I'm curious about whether there are more setback issues with 115 JHPs loaded long vs 124s
  5. I was surprised too but I’d rather pay a bit more than have to adjust my bullet feeder.
  6. I like to tinker so I'm going to build an RX I have into an open pistol. Just ordered a Barsto barrel threaded for a comp from Springer. I'll start with their open comp but may try others after that. I'm likely to lighten the slide with some cuts similar to the X5.

    P320 X5 Thread

    what load are you using?
  8. Thanks for the tip about .01 hazmat and shipping!! I usually find out too late.
  9. I got mine back last week. They had them a while, probably just over a month. After they reworked them, they are just like I expected. I polished the sear to trigger bar surface before I put them in. I have an X5 and an RX full-size so I have one FCU with the PELT 2 trigger plus kit and one with the X5 flat and the trigger kit. They are within 1/2 pound of each other.
  10. I received and installed two (standard P320 and X5) today. When pulling slowly have a first click / false break, followed by a slightly gritty pull to the break. Guess my strikers will have to go back too. By the way, each kit came with 4 sear springs.

    P320 X5 Thread

    I had this both when it was brand new and after sending it in for the upgrade. When it was new, the ramp on the bottom of the barrel was where the friction was. After some grease and a few hundred rounds, it eased up. After I got it back from the upgrade, it was worse than it was new. Luckily, I had an RX and another 320 and could do some comparisons of FCU, slide, striker etc. Turns out that the new X5 striker (even though they said it wouldn't need one) was binding as the slide came back into battery and cocked the striker. It smoothed out after a couple hundred rounds. If it hadn't, i was going to call customer service. If you can swap out the striker / slide with another to test, you might find the same thing. That striker still doesn't cock as smoothly as the others but it's fine under slide movement from full slide lock.
  12. a bit of grease on the ramp on the bottom of the barrel lock seemed to help when mine was new.
