That's normal. The barrel is round, but that triangle wear mark is from the cut machining that was done in the top inside of your slide. They machine that steel out of the slide in that area so that the barrel can lock and unlock freely for proper operation.

Hi Rocket
What company is 'BB' ? I'm looking to try some of these companies.

Well it's definitely not illegal to do that. But from a shooting event stand-point, it would be a fast way to make a match director an unhappy camper!
I will also say that some match directors personally profit monetarily from shooters showing up. They pocket some moneys from those match fees. Some clubs don't even have a bank account. It's all cash. In fact, some don't even declare that money to the IRS as income, nor do they have a legal Non-Profit ORG status set up with the IRS. Sometimes not all of that money goes to the range/property owner or for 100% of actual expenses, as you might think it does, and sometimes event directors get pissy about that because they lose their pocket money. Just sayin'.........

I wish someone made a 9mm carbine that looked like the 10/22. One that was nearly identical. The one Ruger created did not need all that steel and weight into the receiver and barrel. I mean look at all the stamped steel 9mm machine-gun pistols out there? They are super light weight, long wearing and reliable too.

Ugh...what a dumb name they are now calling themselves. I am not visually attracted to a firearm with that name, nor would I want that name tattooed on my gun. Especially for the price they sell their guns for.

Hi everyone,
in in an effort to build the lightest 10/22 possible for steel challenge. I am looking for the lightest barrel possible. I would imagine it’s possible for a barrel to weigh less than 16oz. Some say the magnum research ultralight weighs in at 13oz. Can anyone confirm? The website does not list weight. Any opinions welcome. Thanks!!

Hi George
I have found that the best lightest barrels are from WhistlePig. I bought two and I LOVE them! Good company with a high quality product. Good prices. They ship pretty fast too. I absolutely hate Tactical Solutions barrels because they cracked, prices are now outrageously high and one was so easily deformed that I couldn't get it out of the receiver when used normally. I won't buy another TacSol barrel. I personally think people buy those TacSol barrels just because they are like sheep. They mindlessly follow and copy what other people do. Good thing most people don't copy and find it popular to jump off the edge of the Grand Canyon without a parachute!

My very first post explains it is a maintenance counter, is what I use it for to know when to do the maintenance on the machine, people can use them for different purposes counting bullets counting strokes of the machine so they have a rough idea when to do maintenance nothing mandatory just convenience.
Oh I see.

I bought a 22 TCM/9mm from them but only after finding out that gun was sold in a double-stack version :((
-
Any 9mm one will work. The Redding and RCBS ones are all interchangeable and will all mix and match different dies for pistols that have that similar diameter bullet
-
You're counting cases or loaded rounds? I don't know why that is so important with some people. Unless you're loading ammo for cardboard 20 or 50 round boxes that you sell?

So, I bought a Rollsizer about 8 months ago, and I'd say it's an ok machine and fairly reliable. But several things about it are pretty poorly done, particularly considering the price point. One was the base and discharge chute, which suffered from poor design with flimsy, oversized parts (mine where bent when I received the machine) and an offset mount for case feeder. The parts are also substandard in that they're made from cheap material with incredibly poor welds (although not a structural issue, I'd expect better for a $2k machine). So, basically, I redesigned and made a new base, along with a more compact and effective discharge chute. I also relocated the case feed mount so it's a straight run with a solid Dillon feed tube, instead of the flexible, offset tube. With the solid tube and straight drop, there's zero hangups as compared to the constant problems I had with the original design. The only issues I have now is the case feeder getting jammed, which is common for the Dillon feeder, and the spring wires on the cam assembly bending due to fatigue. Working on those next.
That machine looks pretty solid in the sizing and drive motor area despite you saying it has substandard parts/manufacturing and has poor quality welds. If you're in the business of ammo manufacturing or just high volume sizing, that thing is definitely worth the $2,000 you said you paid.

What model of shotgun are you using?

OK lets see some pics

Every 2,218 rounds

Check that out. Like a big screen TV.

I don't like the CZ trigger guards. I prefer the Tanfoglio square ones.

I'm buying a 1050 chain drive soon. Perfect for 50K batches. You gota have a powder cop!

Great! All this talk and now I want a Glock! Maybe several!

I'm toying with the idea of buying a Shadow 2 but got thinking about what to feed it. I reload and it's not uncommon to find a few rounds that won't pass the plunk test in my Glock or P10, yet I have yet to experience a malfunction at the range. So now I'm wondering if a Shadow 2 would be the same or maybe it has a more refined taste for ammo. While accepting that every individual chamber may be different, I'm interested in others experiences.
They're fine on reloads. They have loose chambers like a tanfoglio factory barrel so usually a slightly bulged case will slide right in. the new ones seem to have a longer tapered throat
-
common issue that's bc your brass has been fired too many times and it's stretched out larger than normal. case wall thickness is thinned out. Those bullets are .400 so they will slide right in. that's one reason why I never buy .400 diameter bullets
-
interesting why people these days are going for heavy bull barrels and heavy weight grips
-
well they don't allow them when you make ready or on the safe table so if you're using dummy rounds they better be used somewhere off the range or at home or you will likely be DQ'd
-
same size both just the small rifle one has slightly thicker cup. they both work in pistols if they're cci or federal
