Something important I don't often see folks mention is make sure you keep the channel that the striker assembly is in is clean. No oil or anything in it. It rides in a self lubricating liner, just clean with a q-tip, wipe off the spring and striker dry, and reinstall it.
Many times I've seen folks dump a buncha oil in the channel or use a spray cleaner and it ends up getting full of carbon and gunk and causing light strikes.
If your running handholds, make sure your seating deep. This pushes the cup and the anvil in the primer closer together assuring ignition.
this
also, take a good look at the tip of your striker
make sure it hasn't rounded or galled -
depends on the buffer
if you're running a SCS style buffer, the JP is still the best option, due to the weight.
JP BCG weighs 13.5oz with no back weight
Taccom extreme weighs 14.4oz with a weight, about 11.5-12oz without a weight.
if you run a ramped barrel, you're pretty much forced to run the taccom extreme bolt -
just checked everything on the scale, cause I was replacing the strike spring safety plunger.
my magwell is aluminum, so it only weighs about 2oz total.
Pretty sure the G24 is about 1-2oz heavier than a G35.
but your thumb rest, optic, comp, and threaded barrel are likely add about 3-4oz total.
I'm likely going to get the SJC heavy weight magwell(8.7oz), that should get me to about 42oz. total -

Photo please!
Coming in at 35oz, need/want about 5-7oz more to be on par with the 2011/CZ guys
Have some tungsten weights/putty coming in

any chance you hold practice days?
i.e. 1 stage/bay, run as many/little times as you want
- this should be an easier/cheaper way to train people on safety, in a somewhat less competitive environment

just received today.
this thing is awesome. can't wait to shoot it this weekend.
the fit is super tight. I feel like even without the set screws, this shouldn't fall off.

Why would a CF handguard heat up more than an aluminum one? I have no trouble with my aluminum one. You would think that the CF would insulate from the heat.
likely more to do to with the fact that in this case, the CF is not a shroud, but part of the barrel.
someone did this with a BSF barrel though, lol

Yes. I've done everything you are supposed to do. My oal is 1.125 as well. The mags function flawlessly for a while then the above issues start happening

post pictures of your follower
also, run a file down the inside of you mag to see if you have any burs
this sounds like the same problem that happens with 33rd KCI mags.
basically the metal liner likely has burs of metal or plastic from either the spring, follower, brass, copper, etc
and it's catching the follower/spring on the way down and up.
First clue is the stopping every 3-4 rounds
second is the twisted spring
Like mentioned above, the glock mags liner is 1 piece of sheet metal, and the come together on the back side(primer side)
if you drop the mag the right/wrong way, and/or put it under a lot of stress,
that's the first place it'll start to deform and cause problems -

Because they are on the other side of the globe, I usually found an email response waiting for me in the morning of the day after my message. It was rarely more than one day delay.
No worries, I wasn't complaining.
more like status update/minor bragging/excitement
order complete, now the wait.
Shot a local GSSF match with my G24 & major PF loads(N320 & 180gr), and it feels like shooting a G17.
Can't wait to feel what it's like with more weight, -

I would like to build a gun with one of these 14.5"
But that is a damn lot of money.
worth it, 9mm AR barrels last forever

it should use a standard 223 extractor

I’m not sure what the shooter’s classification has to do with how well the Hiperfire 24C trigger works, but I can tell you that jkrispies is a GM in both PCC Steel Challenge divisions, so he knows how to run a PCC extremely well. In fact, aside from him there are at least three more of us on the team that run the 24c, and all of us are GMs for what it’s worth.
I started PCC with the POF flat face, so I have much personal experience with it and while it works, I don’t like the longer take-up and reset compared to the 24c. That doesn’t make it a bad trigger, but it’s not want I’m looking for. The problems you mentioned above are not trigger problems, but symptoms of bolt/buffer/load combination issues that arise when people try to push the performance edge, and all are easily fixed without changing the trigger. There are a number of PCCs out there with various issues, but it has more to do with the lack of standardization of parts (no mil-spec for an AR-9), rapid evolution of the platform for gun racing, and the inexperience of the builders than it does any one singular component. As far as the Hiperfire 24c is concerned, there’s a reason it is the most used trigger in PCC: it works very well!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1. only mention shooting class, because in general, higher ranked shooters tend to have more mileage on their equipment.
and tend to keep them reliable l and running.
i.e. you don’t make master with an unreliable trigger
2. if you read my previous post, that was exactly my point. The combination of the bolt, buffer, load, and trigger all combine to the reliability on the fire control side.
not saying there’s anything wrong with the hyper fire 24c, but i’ve personally seen more failures with it than any other trigger.

See my post in this thread, page 1, March 27th.
got it, thanks.
Sent an email RFQ, still waiting to hear back. -
switch to a BSF carbon fiber tensioned barrel

I actually agree with you, especially now that the new short strokes are hitting the scene. Guns are systems, and the systems have to synch. However, I think there are a few triggers out there such as the hyper fire 24C that are pretty much reliable across the board, whereas some others are... not so much…
haha, I'll say two things about the hyper fire 24C
1. they are the most common trigger at the local matches I attend
- at least 50% of the PCC guys use it
- Lots of A & B shooters with a couple Masters
2. I've personally seen the most failures with it
- doubling
- failure to reset
- failure to fire(stuck on the sear)nothing against it, nor do I have personal experience with it.
I currently run a JP roller, and a POF flat face drop in,zero issues so far with a JP and Taccom bolt.
have about 2000 rounds on each so far. -

One warning: be very careful picking out your trigger system. Not all triggers like the PCC bolt.
IMO,
it's a combination of the bolt, bolt speed, buffer setup, and the trigger system
wouldn't blame it 100% on the trigger

If you are referring to the frame weight with attached thumbrest, mine came from Italy. I detailed the easy purchase process in an earlier post on the Enos Forums. It was no more than two weeks from first contact through the Toni Systems website to receipt of my order. That smooth process led me to later order a Ghost the One holster from Toni Systems modified by them to fit their frame weight. Great customer service.
Ahh, missed that. thanks -

Go to your next match and try some of the PCC's. As other have stated, get what you want from the start and build your own.
+1
If you already shoot USPSA, see what the PCC guys are running, and ask to check them out.
had two production shooters ask me what my PCC setup is, at a local match yesterday.
more than happy to show them at the safe table.
If they asked earlier in the day, I would have grabbed the range master and let them test fire. -
does anyone in the US stock this?
-
ok, just finished installing these on a couple ETS mags, and ran them at a local match.
My existing setup is an ETS mag with a +10 Taylorfreelance extension.
The TTI extension is definitely shorter on the back side of the mag, by about 0.200"
Things I did to make it work:
1. sand the back of the follower
- a little more than I had to for the TF extension
2. add 3 layers of 3m vinyl tape to the inside of the ETS mag, on the back side(primer side)
- about 0.75" long
another option that could probably work:
deburring the extension chamfer(mine were all quire sharp),
and heating, and bending the back of the follower.

Well said.
Shane Coley just won the US IPSC Nats today in Standard/Limited and Bob was 2nd and it was a close match, less than 1% was thr diff on paper. Cheers gents
anyone else notice Ashley Rheuark placed 11th in standard shooting minor.
She shoots a decently stock G34, right?

Looking at pictures, the PM9 has a way higher cut under the trigger and the beaver tail.
For competition, that alone makes it worth the extra $400.

What weight did you choose for your Armaspec SRS?
Not knowing there were different weights, I tried the 3.0 oz carbine flavor for 5.56 guns. Even in the softer shooting Guard it has a lot of felt recoil and even more dot bounce.
theres a 9mm specific version.
I currently run this with a full taccom upper(weight removed)
so far so good, will feed everything from factory 115gr, to 147gr 125pf loads.
IMO, can’t be beaten for the price.
What kind of bullets are you feeding your PCC?
in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Posted
147gr RN xtreme
lots of local guys seem to be using 124gr coated
