I'll have to look into that!

Whats a good Shotgun to use for 3 gun? I would like to start but in need of buying a shotgun!
-
DAA can be expensive when youre wanting a whole new kit. But is it worth it?
-
I cant decide if i want 115g JHP again or if i want 124g to try out. The only problem with going 147g JHP are that they are super expensive!
-
Which is better for 3 gun, 9mm or .40. and what gun would you get?

Anyone selling a 170mm STI Mag? Wanting one for NM Sectional.
-
really didnt know that! thank you!
-
Thank you! ill just keep shooting and let the kinks fix themselves! i shoot here in Las Cruces and El Paso. I havent talked to an STI sponsored shooter yet since hes at double tap this weekend. thank you all for the support!
-
So, I shouldn't mess with the compensator or guide rod? just keep shooting and itll make its adjustment by itself?
-
Cool, thanks

Doesn't look like the extractor is the problem. Might just be from shooting shitty loads and not getting enough Ooomf, I get stovepipes from factory 115 ammo like winchester. my reloads also extract, never had a problem. I just looked at the compensator, youre right, it does look like the recoil spring (the metal stick) was rubbing against the compensator and caused some scratches. Wouldnt it be okay to round off the actual end of the recoil spring instead of messing with the compensator? cost more to replace that trubor barrel then a recoil shaft thingy.

Haven't had the time to work on the gun, hopefully tomorrow or Friday.
-
Yeah!!! im sure your gun won't have any issues since its being custom built!!! Congrats on your gun! i just got mine a couple weeks ago!
-
So, probably take it to a gunsmith. haha
-
Hmmm. yeah, maybe. I'll have to check it out!
-
Thanks! I'll see if I can do that! Anything about the ejector? how i could do that myself as well?
-
Thank you! ill try that
-
Thanks!! ill ask if the gunsmith can do that for me! Ill message you after i do that test you were talking about! That might be the second problem to the first issue #1
-
Thank you for replying!! (didnt mean question marks) I thought it would be as well, but, my support hand has a thumb rest and my right hand thumb is on the safety lever. none of them touch the slide.
-
YES! See i thought I did that as well but didn't remember if i did! but the second time I'm sure I didn't hit the button on the other side of the slide lock lever with my trigger finger. I was wondering if there is suppose to be a little dent for the safety plunger (well i think its the safety plunger, its a small pint that sticks out and suppose to hold the slide stop lever) to hold against the side wall of the slide lock lever. If so, mine does not have one.
-
Thank you for replying! For issue number 1 - The slide is locked all the way back. And something i forgot to mention is that the slide lever was sticking out about 1/8 of an inch. After pushing the slide lock lever back into place, the slide was able to move forward. This happened the very first time. The second time was the slide was completely locked to the rear and i could not use the slide stop lever or puling the slide and releasing it. It was super hard to put back. I will try out the brass and barrel soon and pm you pictures. I appreciate the link for issue #3! I will stay in touch with you. Currently working.

Thank you for replying! #4 - how do i modify the follower? any youtube videos out there? #3 - i couldnt find any youtube videos on ejector profiling, still looking now #2 - polish the feed ramp? could i use a dremel with a polishing head and go slow with it? like i said im super new to all this. #1 - yeah.. thats like the main main problem Thank you again!

A couple problems have occurred since the purchase of a brand new 2011 STI Trubor. (these problems always occur during competition and not practice) Bullet Everglades Ammo 115 JHPs Winchester Primer HS-6 Powder - 8.3g OAL - 1.165-1.167 PF - 172-175 Problems 1) My first encounter of a problem is when the gun completely jammed during a steel match. I ran about 25-35 rounds before shooting this match. After shooting 2 rounds, the slide completely locked. I tried to release the slide lock, no budge. I took the mag out, I tried to charge (wouldnt move) and release the slide (wouldn't move) , no budge. I tried to move the slide forward to its natural position (pushing the slide forward while holding down the slide lock lever), no budge. About 4-5 other shooters were trying to release the slide. After about 10 mins, the slide released and went to its natural position. (It was really rough when i was charging the slide a few times) I then tried to shoot the same stage again, after the first shot, it happened again. I don't know what the heck is going on at this point. I stopped using the gun and used another shooters to finish off the match. After the match, I disassemble the gun, reassembled the gun and then the gun was able to shoot 30-40 rounds without a problem. (I stopped shooting and went home) 2) I shot a USPSA match Saturday and my first stage, this same problem occurred BUT, the gun almost cycled completely. What I mean is that after my first shot, the gun was stuck right before chambering another round. i pushed the slide forward (with ease) with the next round and shot. I don't know whats going on with that but it happened twice. 3) Empty shell casings getting stuck between the Optic and the slide. After shooting a round the casing will get stuck so that the slide couldn't chamber another round. costing me 5 seconds each time. Is this because of the ejector? Do I need a gunsmith to work with it? I don't want to move the C-more optic side ways. (not a fan of that). 4) Shooting and hitting slide lock with one bullet in the mag. I shouldn't be going to slide lock if i still have 1 bullet in the magazine. Magazines STI 140mm Magazines with Gram guts. I get nervous for each match and each stage because I don't want these problems to occur but they do and costs me a lot of time. Any suggestions? You all are pros and i just started shooting open! If you need pictures, i could demonstrate whats happening for each one. If I didn't describe each one in detail, just ask questions! Thank you guys for all of your support!
