One thing I don't get because I came into USPSA for PCC is the butt hurt. So many and I do mean many passive aggressive comments about rifles at a pistol match, magazine size, etc from people I've never met before but within two matches I realized the comments had little variety but just a lot of repetition. I have thick skin so I just ignore them as excuses for their performance but I wonder how many people find that to be a turn off or is it that much of a local phenomenon that only I deal with.
Good for you to ignore them. Before long the naysayers won't even be a footnote to the games. There have been times when many things have been frowned upon by those unwilling to embrace change. Drive on and enjoy the ride.

Im not sure if its caliber specific or what, perhaps thats where some confusion lies, but my 9mm 2.0 5" has the same spring assembly as the blue painted one in the picture. My 40 2.0 5" has the same spring as on top in the picture.
P Taylor, what caliber is your 2.0 5"? You didn't specify.

Step 1: Make a good plan, including mixed loading, separate carriers for buck and slugs that are different colors. Rehearse the plan in your head, visualizing each shot over and over until called to shoot.
Step 2: Execute the plan
Step 3: DO NOT deviate from the plan.
Step 4: DO NOT miss.......

I have one of the Carver mag wells. It is OK, but is hampered by the "step" cut into it where the stock magazine baseplate is supposed to sit. Mine does not actually accept stock magazines when mounted to my particular gun (YMMV), but for my needs (use with short Taylor Freelance extensions) it is workable. Frankly, the main benefit is to secure your hand on the gun rather than to facilitate noticeably smoother reloads. If you want to use stock magazines, I'd recommend skipping a mag well entirely.
So why don't you feel it facilitates noticeably smoother reloads? Of the two I posted in my photo one has the magwell stepcut for factory baseplates and the other is the Standard Magwell with no cut. When practicing magchanges they both work equally well, as long as I use dummy rounds in the step cut magwell. An empty mag can sometimes get lightly hung up on the step, but in practical use they are as good as any magwell in their size catagory.

Cerakote is your friend if it bothers you that bad. I painted one of my FDE pistols in Patriot Brown just to make it a little different. Most of my other pistols are black so the change is welcome. The picture does not show the difference very well but the brown is considerably darker in person. Im a bit perplexed as to why S&W chose to make all the 5" 2.0's in FDE. Its not because of the possible Mil contract from the M17 trials because they make a black 2.0 frame. They also make three different 2.0 5" slides. I just think somebody dropped the ball.

I have the Carver on both my M&P 2.0's I got them here and they are in stock.

Recently got a P320-M17 and also had the opportunity to try a friends X5. Not at all a fan of the feel or bore axis of either. My M&P 2.0 isn't going anywhere. Stock trigger is terrible on the X5 for what is marketed as a competition gun.

most seeem to recommend an 18” rifle length instead.
You already know the one to choose.

Sounds like you're on the right track with the trigger. The next heaviest buffer may help with the dirty ness also when using the suppressor.
-
What buffer? Standard carbine?
-
Is the Vltor upper 300 BO? What trigger? What buffer weight? Have you verified headspace?
-
Another resounding "NO". No factory M&P trigger can compare to an APEX FSS flat faced trigger. All my M&P 2.0's have them. Even my cary gun. Standard parts for me have way to long of a reset and too much take up.

Mobil 1 is among the safest lubes you can come in contact with. This is from the MSDS sheets of all the following oils. Numbers listed are for Health, flammability, and Reactivity.
Mobil 1 0. 1. 0.
CLP. 0. 1. 0.
G96. 1. 4. 0.
Remoil. 1. 2. 0.
Slick 50. 1. 3. 0.
Slip 2000.1. 1. 0.
LSA. 1. 1. 0.
Hoppes. 2. 3. 0.
Lucas oil. 2. 1. 0.
Lucas grease. 2. 1. 0.
Slide glide even had a warning of injection under the skin just like Mobil 1 had. Every single one said to wash your hands after. It became apparent that regardless of your choice they all carry very very minimal health risks. To argue otherwise is foolish.

Did you email them or call? If you need something important like this, call and talk to a human. This will likely get things rolling in a positive direction for you. I needed something from them and called. It took a few tries but finally got a human on the phone and they helped me out.
On a side note with my HMR, I tried a bunch of different ammo to seek out what shot best. My HMR does not like bullets lighter than 140 gr. 1-1/2" or there about with the light stuff. Not horrible but not what I expect from this rifle. 140 to 147 gr average well under MOA with most any I tried from Hornady. The big surprise of the day was the S&B Tactical 140gr at $12.00 a box that shot consistently under an 1". Managed several under 1/2". I went back and bought all they had of that stuff.

For $129.00 the Joebobs Spartan (rebranded New Frontier) is hard to beat. Mine has been 100%. Use the rest of the money you save to put the parts you want in it.

hi,
currently using an Arredondo; but I have to file down my Magpuls or they will not fit properly.
any other suggestions?
would like one that Magwells fit.
thanks.

File the magwell.

So it seems the signifcance of the part is less significant than you thought as it applies to the M3000.

Merriam-Webster defines "carbine" in two ways:
1. a short-barreled lightweight firearm originally used by cavalry.
2. a light short-barreled repeating rifle that is used as a supplementary military arm or for hunting in dense brush.
These are just two of at least a half-dozen descriptions of 'carbine''. Problem is, no dictionary (or other source) I've ever found can quantify what length a carbine actually is.
Is 'short' 19", or is it 15.9"? Your example of the Sig Brace on a rifle is spot-on. This whole Brace vs. buttstock nonsense is pure semantics. Obtaining a $2, $200, or $2000 'stamp' from the Feds does not change a 10.5" AR pistol into a RIFLE. It's BS! If the modern definition of a rifle is a barrel of 16" or more, then the stamp simply legalizes you to 'shoulder' your pistol. How did the stamp magically change a pistol into a (SB) rifle? We just paid a fee for the right to buy an adjustable length buttstock for our long-barrel pistol!
Let's assume for sake of conversation in a fantasy world, that the Feds were completely on-board with common-sense gun laws ;), and as long as the firearm were legally owned they didn't care if it had a 4" barrel or a 16.1" barrel...
Wouldn't it make much more sense for Practical Shooting rulebooks to define what we now know as PCC class as being a 'firearm designed/intended to be held/fired with one hand on a grip behind the trigger, and the other hand holding the forestock of the barrel in front of the trigger/ejection port. Barrel must be a min of 8" (pick a number) in length. Shouldering the weapon is optional.' Like a... wait for it... rifle!
Pistols being defined/intended to be a firearm held/fired with the support hand overlaying or interlocking the strong hand, i.e. both hands in one place behind/below the trigger.'
Holodeck simulation off.
You kids get off my lawn!
What length a PCC barrel has, has nothing to do with the discussion. This is not about Carbine vs Rifle. It is the definition of a pistol that is the issue here. The rules are clear, PCC is NOT a division for a Pistol. Its simple really.

I'd have thought it would be wider ??
Well, yes and no. Field of view of a given scope is determined by the exit pupil and objective lens diameter...Not by its magnification. Most 1-? scopes have a very close field of view to each other at the same power setting. Never in the history of optics has a scope set at 6 or 8 power had a wider field of view than a 4 power setting. I have found all to often that many shooters go for too much power on a given stage.

Is there anyone who does the rmr cut for a 2.0C that also sells the pistol? I would like to buy it with the cut.
Thanks.
Whats a 2.0 C

Thats good stuff. Until recently I only once had the opportunity to shoot my 3-gun AR about 500yds. We now have a local (sorta) range that goes out to 800 yds. A recent trip there really opened my eyes. I always thought my rifle and myself to be a pretty good shot. It is a sub MOA gun if I do my part. Out to 600 yds was no sweat ringing the 10" steel plates. 700 and 800 humbled me greatly. It was a little windy.
One M&P to rule them all
in S&W (M&P, etc)

Just build a 5" of each 9mm and 40. If you want to cover carry optics, make the 9mm a CORE.
use my 9mm for 3-gun and the 40 for Limited. I don't care for any other divisions except PCC, but thats another discussion entirely.Lol
