I was running 115grn blues and had constant fte issues. I had a gm pcc shooter tell me to give up on the coated as they will cause feed issues. After 2 months of continuing to try to get the blues to work I gave up and went with berry plated bullets.
The problem went away after changing over. The only time I have issues now is if I fail to keep the gas system clean and the bolt well lubed.

You can turn a pistol dot on or off any time you want. PCC cannot however.
Sarge,
where did you get that pcc cannot turn a pcc dot on or off anytime you want.
If you go to a safe area or when on the line you can turn it on or off.

I know from running a Glock mag pcc that I had several mags be made unusable due to damage the metal mag catch in the gun did to the glock factory mag catch notches. I often wanted a metal mag body to use in the pcc, would have saved me money in the long run due to not having to replace mags due to damage.

The double springs are there to make the hammer fall with more force to assure a firmer firing pin strike.
The trigger pull weight doesn't directly affect pulling the charging handle... But... The HiperFire double toggle springs sole purpose is to increase pressure on the hammer... and that makes the hammer harder to pull back when you pull back the charging handle to insert a chamber flag after you shoot.
Pulling back the charging handle after shooting with AR Gold and TriggerTech triggers is normal... Putting in a HiperFire trigger increases the pull again.
I have charged timney and hyperfire triggers. The only felt difference was due to the buffer spring.
If you learn about the hiperfires you will learn that they are designed to reset easily.
The poster who started this back up stated that he thought a lighter TRIGGER PULL would result in a charging handle that was easier to pull and that is FALSE.

Newbie here. Is it natural for triggers of light pull have the bolt hard to pull back? Would it not compromise feeding/ejection reliability?
My milspec trigger pull is 6lbs and my bolt is light to pull back. I dont have plans to lightens its pull for now.
Again, like I said in the previous reply. trigger PULL has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the amount of effort it takes to pull the the bolt back OR the cycling of the bolt. THE ONLY thing the trigger has to do with the entire operation of an AR it to fall on the firing pin and ignite the primer to fire the round. The gas developed in the firing of the cartridge is what drives the bolt back and the speed of travel of the bolt is determined by the recoil buffer spring. The buffer on its rearward movement resets the hammer on the trigger. THIS is the same operation as in a pistol.
There are dozens of threads in the PCC section of this forum about getting a proper balance between cycle time and buffer spring and buffer. Do a search and you will learn tons. There are lots of opinions on the subject. You will just have to pick a starting point and experiment for what works for you.

I have a 10.5" 9mm PCC SBR and was using an AR Gold 308 trigger set to 1Lb 5oz... I like the pre-travel and light trigger pull for long distance targets on PCC only matches, but it's not so hot for follow-up shots.
I returned to a HiperFire Eclipse trigger that I was using before switching to the AR Gold... I like it, but it has a trigger pull weight of 2Lb 9oz... It is also very hard to pull back the charging handle to insert the chamber flag after Unload and Show Clear in USPSA matches.
My HiperFire Eclipse has two individual legs for the upper springs... I was using uncoated silver upper springs... I talked to HiperFire and they said the springs had been improved in my early HiperFire trigger... They sent me new green springs and a new hammer spring that matches them... I installed the new green springs and hammer spring... Pull weight is now a bit lower at 2Lb 6oz... It is still hard to pull back the charging handle to load a round or after UASC.
Would ultimately like to get the pull weight down to 2Lbs or under if possible... Anyone had any luck reducing HiperFire pull weight since this thread was originally started?
I'm not aware of any way to reduce the hiperfire 24c. Hyperfire just introduced a new drop in trigger named PHANTOM but those are advertised at 2 pounds.
There is a GM I know who uses a 24c and kicks butt. I don't think it will help to go lighter.
As far as hard to pull the charging handle, that is an issue with your buffer tube spring and buffer. The trigger pull weight has nothing to do with charging the gun. If you want to lighten the charging pull you will have to change out the buffer spring.I realize I started this thread and after 2 years of shooting nothing but PCC I can tell you that there is NOT a reliable way to lighten the trigger pull on a hiperfire trigger.

Yes. That spring
is it the spring that goes on the metal claw that goes into the primer holes to advance the wheel right?
if so, that spring is somewhat new. I changed it out a few months ago but not sure if this is wat you’re talking about.

I was having a similar issue. I changed out the spring that advances the wheel that the primers move from the tube to the priming station and have not had that happen againSo I’ve been having this problem for a while now and Dillon said they don’t know what the problem is.
I usually use cci primers and I got a deal on federals. I thought this issue is with the primers but it isn’t. When the case goes into the priming spot and I go to seat a primer, the primer hangs up. When I seat the primer it feels like it has a hard time finding the primer pocket in the hole. Sometimes the primer is 1/2 way into the case and it gets hung up. When I pull the case out, the primer is 1/2 way in and 1/2 way out.
then sometimes the primer will have a hard time going in but it does go in. When this happens the primer is slanted on one side like the primer wasn’t aligned.
I used the alignment tool and everything is aligned properly.
has anyone had this issue?

Does the talon work on the mpx with a hiperfire eclipse? I bought a strike industries and it won't install and function at all.
I can not answer that. I am still using the stock ambi safety that came with the gun

That is why in RO school they stress to READ the web's verbatim AND have it posted. Actually I believe it is a uspsa ruleMaterials were fine, it was just a simple mistake in interpretation. Printed WSB said "engage T1 and PP1-4", but was read aloud as "engage T1 then PP1-4". Not a big deal, competitive equity is still there as long as everyone in the match shoots it the same way.

Please reread your first paragraphAs I said, I'm quoting the actual WSB of the classifier. I do not have any older versions of the classifier available to me but the official language of the WSB in question is/was the same. That is: "...engage T1 and PP1-4..."

Did the wsb you quoted talk about pcc start position? If it did not then you were using an older outdated wsb.That's not what I quoted... I quoted the actual WSB.
Again, the wsb in the current uspsa listing of classifiers and on their application states a different set of verbiage. Any use of other wsb is grounds to toss a classifier from a match or at least have it only be a stage for score and not classification

You quoted "then engage". If you look up the wsb on the uspsa app it says t1 and pp1-4. It does not say "then".At a recent all classifier match, on Bang and Clang (99-62), shooters were forced to engage targets in a specific order. They were told to engage T1 first, then P1-4.
Several shooters protested this, pointing out that the WSB wording: "...engage T1 and PP1-4..." does not indicate an order of engagement and further relying on 1.1.5.
One of the CROs(actual) interpreted the classifier WSB as "well, why would they (USPSA) specifically call out the targets instead of just saying engage targets as they become visible?" and stated that Standards can require a shooting order. When countered that 99-62 is not a Standard exercise and asked to describe the primary differences between the two, the CRO said he's not doing it and walked away. He refused to take a look at the rule book when one of the shooters asked him to do so.
After the protest, three CROs (the other two were the local club's MDs/RMs) got together and discussed the situation, upholding the original order of engagement.
Thoughts?
Reason I say this that your club should have used the most current wsb and this discussion would not have taken place. Using outdated materials caused this.

I never heard about a raffle. Not sure what that was about.This match was underwhelming. I joined this forum just to put it out there. Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club puts on club matches monthly that are the caliber of stages this was for a state championship. I just moved to Georgia about 5 months ago and I was treated like I wasn't wanted there. I asked 3 times if there was a raffle and was told there was but nobody would sell me tickets. It was like " I think he is selling them ask that guy no its this other guy" very disappointing. I am looking for a club here in Georgia to shoot club matches and I tried talking to the guy that runs the matches there and he acted like he didn't want to talk to me. I have shot other extreme gm matches and loved the experience, this one makes me want to shot IDPA or something else. Southern hospitality is everything I've been told as long as you don't try to shoot a uspsa match.
Where did you move to in Georgia?
I am the club president for GPSL in Atlanta. I know just about every club match in the metro area, indoor and outdoor. Hit me up in a PM if your in ATL and I'll fill you in. All the local clubs here love to have new shooters, experienced or newbies!
Overall I liked the stages. They could have flowed a bit better.
I heard a rumor that river bend gun club is being eyed as the next location for the 2020 state match.
If you have ever shot there you already know that they shoot 9 stages once a month already so getting to 10 is easy. On top of that Randy and the other stage designers there do a great job and put on challenging stages.

they just sent out the match book via email last week.
After last years influx of sandbagger shooters from out of state taking prize table money from local state shooters I am not surprised they are not heavily advertising availability.
There were several "C" class PCC guys who shot at master class level from FL that should have been given field bumps.
Of course I could be wrong.
There is some FB postings in the USPSA area 6 page

I haven’t had to go that deep yet on my MPX, that said, you might want to shoot In Lead We Trust an email, as they offer this:

Seems like they’re THE MPX-whisperers...
I have the detent and the spring and the pin. Those all came with my spare parts kit.
I had seen a video on how to remove the detent and cannot find it again.

Title says it all.
I am looking for either a video or written instructions on how to remove the gas valve detent and spring.
If anyone has a link for either please post them for me. thanks in advance.

If you are overswinging the target, it sounds like you may be driving the rifle to the next target while looking at the sights, rather than moving your eyes to the next target and snapping the rifle to your line of sight.
I also occasionally shoot an MPX and have shot my 50oz M&P 15-22 at the same match. To speed things up for the match, I shot them back to back on each stage. I prefer to shoot the MPX first, but the last time I shot both, again to speed things up, I shot the 15-22 first, then the MPX so we could skip painting steel between guns.
If you want to swap handguards, you will need a conversion barrel nut and tool from Tacticool22.
https://www.tacticool22.com/product-category/handguard-and-forend-parts/handguard-conversion-kits/
You can swap just about any mil-spec carbine buttstock to the 15-22, just remove the original and install the one of your choice.
Nolan
I know about the tacticool page. thanks for the link again.
I do not over swing with the mpx only the 15-22. It is truly a muscle memory thing. My body is so used to the MPX and the weight that the lighter 15-22 just moves differently and that is why I am looking to change the overall weight of the gun

Swap to a heavier handguard and buttstock and see how that feels.
if you need more after that you could look to a heavier optic like an Eotech
The way that the hand-guard attaches to a 15-22 is not exactly the same as a standard AR.
One of the solutions I was thinking of doing was getting lead strips and putting them between the barrel and hand-guard and some lead shot into the base of the pistol grip.
My Sig weighs in around 6+ pounds and the 15-22 is around 4. So I am looking to add about 1.5 to 2 pounds to the gun.

Weight out front will have the largest affect. I’d look for an affordable steel handguard to throw a few ounces up front.
It’s also easy to undo if you decide you don’t like it.
I am looking to add a couple of pounds to the gun. I am hoping to get to a weight closer to my Sig

I know this sound counter intuitive to what everyone else says.
Reason I am saying this is because I shoot a SIG Mpx PCC that is obviously much heavier than the 15-22.
I shoot the Mpx in USPSA and am very comfortable with shooting it and with the weight and how I index the gun.
I find myself moving the 15-22 too much and having to come back on the plates and hence I am slower with the 15-22 over the Mpx when shoot SC.
I am currently using the stock plastic hand-guard on my 15-22 along with a stock buttstock. I shoot a Hiperfire 24c and a burris ff3 optic.
What I am wanting to do is to INCREASE the weight of the 15-22 to get it closer to the mpx weight. Problem is, I am not sure how best to do that. Should I add weight to the inside of the hand-guard? to the buffer tube, maybe in the pistol grip? All 3?
I am interested in reading the responses.
thanks

You do know that “OAL” means Over All Length, right?
He initially gave you lengths and not a handguard diameter, because that’s what you actually asked for.
YES I do know that. Obviously a moment of brain farting. Thanks for pointing that out and making me look like an.... well whatever. LOL

Yes, YES I do
Hollow Base Plated Bullets
in 9mm/38 Caliber
Posted
I use them for both my PCC and open gun loads.
I like that I can seat a bit deeper with the hollow base and still have the "pocket" to develop gas for the round.
Now, if i can only find more. I am down to about 3500 freedom seeds and need more.
