Buford! Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I finally made it to the range today to do a function check on the gun I got last Friday. I was delighted to find that the gun ran quite well. No major problems burning through the roughly 90 rounds I ran. Mixed ammo too - Federal 115gr. and S&B 115gr. FMJ. Based on much of the reading here I was expecting to have FTE problems or for the extractor to just snap in two. But it didn't happen. It really needs a trigger job so that will be coming very soon. What did happen that was interesting was that one of the two factory mags didn't really want to let go of the last round... slide lock with one round remaining. BUT, it only happened if I loaded at least 5 rounds. Put 3 rounds in the mag and it ran fine; put 5 rounds in there and it went to slide lock after 4 rounds. I suppose I'll just replace the mag spring and hope that fixes it unless someone has other thoughts on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anopsis Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Glad it ran for you. I know the horror stories you read here about the PXT extractor, but -my opinion- if it runs, leave it alone. As for the premature lock-back, most everything you'll need to know is referenced in this thread: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=62097 Good luck!

Buford! Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Indeed. I guess I know where to start now. Thanks, Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
