Nathanb Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I've got the wire stock. I don't have any gripes wih it. It fits me well length wise and I didn't really notice any wiggle. It can be tough to collapse thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titandriver Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Sweet rig Alma! How much would you estimate it would cost to duplicate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I dig it alma. How do you like the Romeo I've thought about the same one for mine. You know it needs a can. I just hope they let us buy a 4 inch barrel for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Sweet rig Alma! How much would you estimate it would cost to duplicate it? On the low end you would be looking at $1500 (MPX-P set up with Springer Precision barrel shroud and Yugo stock). On the high end with tax stamp and all the bells and whistles You would be a bit over $2k. Somewhere in the middle would be the 16" MPX option.

zimm33 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Did you notice much difference with the brake?

Neomet Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Following because as much as I love my carbine version, Alma's looks cooler. Plus with the Lantac the RO might actually pick up my last shot. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangerdug Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 So explain this one to me. Freedom Munitions 147g 9mm round nose won't go through. Jams on the first round. A buddy gave me some steel hollowpoint 124g by DT Defense and the gun works perfectly. I shoot the FM in all of my 9mm pistols without an issue.I had same problem, the only thing I can figure is the gen 1 had slightly larger gas port than gen 2. Honestly, I have been running 115 and 124 with a lot of success. We want to run them like our pistols, for what reason? Especially if we are running longer barrels and muzzle brakes. 147gr in the MPX is not needed. We are not tricking out the springs yet! With the Lantac MB like our open gun brakes, operate better with hotter loads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 I shoot 147s from extreme in mine with no issues. Both reloads and the freedom stuff. It runs just fine in mine. I use a can too with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 And you're correct. The gen1 did/does have a slightly larger gas port. Enough to make a difference in cycling bunny fart loads. My gen1 runs 130pf 147gr without fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a can too with itYou have a Gen 1, they are capable due to the gas port of shooting the 147gr. The Gen 2 guns not so much. I know guys who are using American Eagle 147gr. and +P ammos, with success. The funny part is the velocities they are running are closer to standard 115/124gr velocities. Again at that point what is the advantage!?!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I've got a Gen 2 that I am running 147 SNS molys on top of just 2.8 of E3 at 1.145. No problems at all but I do run the bolt pretty wet and clean the piston assembly every 500-700 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do understand is the physics at play. What is your Muzzle velocity with that load? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Hello: Alliant E3 is a popular shotgun powder for 12 gauge loads. You guys should try some 124's at 131-134 power factor with some Tite Group. Thanks, Eric Edited December 25, 2016 by Aircooled6racer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The burn rate of the powder can have a significant impact and can not be calculated well into a formula. A 125 projectile traveling at X speed with VV N105 will feel stunningly different than the same projectile and velocity with VV N310. It becomes more of an art and preference than science. Hi Eric! It is funny the E3 is used so much by SG shooters as it is actually a fairly quick burning powder. Burn charts vary but it seems to fall between N310 and N320. I've actually found it to be one of my favorite 9mm minor poweders in everything from 121s (which I love) up to 160s although it burns cleaner and slightly better accuracy if I can keep the charge weight above 3.0 grains.

alma Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Anyone wanting to try out the Lantac I will sell you mine for $100 shipped. It looks awesome but I felt it performed better with the flash hider. Different powder might change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw much benefit in a SC minor gun with a comp but those were under 130pf. I saw better results with ported barrels and wonder if it would apply to carbines. Maybe not....... I'll let somebody else be on the bleeding edge of technology on that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I did end up running lighter loads which have functioned perfectly but still no freedom munitions. In fact when I called Sig Sauer they said they don't run so apparently I'm not the only person who had that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Not the only one, no. I think the Gen II went with the reduced gas port to be more suppressor friendly. You can send it off to someone else to have the gas port enlarged if you want to run lighter loads like you can with the Gen 1s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alma Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Springer Precision has released its MPX magwell. It's aluminum, nicely anodized, and only $60. He designed it to be streamlined: adding funnel only where useful as the MPX already has a nice big funnel on the front. That is also supposed to help you reload a bit more naturally since you don't have that massive funnel getting in the way. http://shop.springerprecision.com/product.sc?productId=444&categoryId=57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
