[BEST PRIMERS? Small Pistol CCI vs Winchester?]

not sure it's actually price gouging when it's an auction? Seems like that's the buyer's bidding it up to what they are willing to pay?

[BEST PRIMERS? Small Pistol CCI vs Winchester?]

Which are best, Small Pistol primers.

 

CCI #500 small pistol vs Winchester small pistol (blue box)?

 

Just saw 5,000 sell on GB for $700 to $625 plus shipping ! Ouch

Legal in everything now. 

 

The rule book does a pretty good job of explaining what is legal in each division. 

Does anyone have that section they can post?

what if I use a small 3mm thick stick on pad that serves as a thumb ramp in that location?

Grip Pad For Thumb On Dust Cover Legal for Limited?

 

In addition to skateboard tape on the grip I just added a textured thick plastic tape just forward of the takedown lever and above the trigger guard on the dust cover to increase friction where my weak hand thumb would index/rest.

 

Is this legal on my G17?

Thats the same one that Surmount Defense and Shooting Innovations is selling. Not a good way to waste your money.

The exterior wear isn't the problem, having your gas rings ream out the bore is a big problem.

 

@tonythetiger

Can you post pics of this gas ring reaming out the bore? I have two of the 3gun labs BCG's an have run one on a 300BLK build and don't see any wear. Probably only have 150 rounds though...

[Grip Tape]

I tried safety walk and stopped using it. 

I ordered some MOB grip tape and Dark Angel grip tape. Both of those are much grippier / coarser/ sharper than the safety walk. 

I've used the Dark Angel since January and it's stuck and no granules have come off since I installed on my edc. 

Compared to SWalk - that only lasted a few months before granules would be coming off.

Interesting

That rca low mass bcg looks and weighs almost exactly the same as the. Brownells one that’s $120

I’ve ran a JP for a couple years and love it. 

would you share your set up? Buffer weight, spring, gas system and barrel length?

They're relatively new, but Brownells came out with their own low mass BCGs.  3 coating options, I went with Nickel Boron, and for $130 and 8.2oz, you can't beat it.  1500+ rounds through it, and not a hiccup - it also cleans easier than my old nickel boron one it replaced.  Running it with a JP SCS with the white spring (80%, stock is 85%), and an adjustable gas block - it's beautiful.

Thanks 

what barrel and gas block?

gas port size and gas block setting?

JP SCS Gen2 with spring it comes with (I believe that is the black spring which is 80%?).  The stock JP SCS Gen2 setup replicates a carbine buffer with standard buffer spring as I recall it.  That is a Whiskey Arms carrier with a JP enhanced bolt with a Stretch16 barrel, which is intermediate gas length.  

 

When I tried a TACCOM ULW buffer with TTI light spring, the carrier speed was excessive......rifle ran ragged, very sharp impulse, and would not reliably lock back......one click difference would be single shot while the next would not reliably lock back.....and sometimes do some other stuff that I won't mention, lol.  Going to a standard carbine buffer with the TTI light spring or standard spring worked excellent and was a much smoother operating rifle.  

 

I would recommend trying a standard power spring with the carbine buffer.  

 

Thanks - that sounds a bit like my issues. Narrow adjustment range. I'll add some weights back to the carbine buffer and try again

Have you tried a reduced power spring?

Yes- and that did not work too well

 

2A actually said to use an extra power spring...

[Low Mass BCG]

Question for those running the low mass Whiskey Arms low mass bcg. What buffer, spring, gas system are you running?

 

I am having some teething / set up issues with my low mass adjustable carrier 2A bcg. Using carbine buffer with weights removed, red extra power spring and dialing back to lock up on empty mag 

but still getting occasional mis-feed. The live round after firing about 2 to 3 consecutive double taps jams tip up with the bolt jammed into the casing midsection

 

dialing gas down to single shot mode and then dialing up to mag lock back...

I shoot limited/SS USPSA. I go out of my way not to have an ambi. Ambis break and also get in the way of my trigger finger knuckle. 

 

People say that you need them for weak hand shooting, but in USPSA you never have to draw weak handed in. You always have it in your strong hand first to take the safety off.

 

One advantage is that for weak handed shooting, some people can use the right side as a thumb rest to counter recoil, although my thumb slips off.

I've not heard about ambis breaking. What brands?
