I had been using a little Hornady One Shot on it but since JP's instruction say not to oil the buffer I had been using it sparingly. Maybe I should be using more. Despite using light oil I still had lots of powder residue in the tube, which I was guessing was from running my Bullseye loads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

It did improve the SCS for me a lot. You put it under the plastic bumper at the bottom of the SCS. You're talking about sandwiching it inbetween the white delrin bumper and the thin black end cap? I put an order in for one. So with that, I need to order a JP AR15 85% Black Spring and add an additional tungsten weight? Edited July 14, 2017 by KzBoost Link to comment

Otherwise you can buy the same springs here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085ZOZFI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That's a high dollar spring ? Link to comment

Thanks, Eric I've experience it a couple times with a JP trigger group that's setup with fairly short reset. Not totally sure, but it seems the way these 9mm carbines recoil it could be contusive to bump firing if the operator is hanging on the trigger a bit (pardon my poor descriptive nomenclature).

If you call JP they will sell you individual springs for $8 each instead of having to buy the whole pack for $40. The extra tungsten weight is optional but I found I liked it maxed out with tungsten. The theory is short travel leads to fastest dot recovery and trigger reset. But also hits your shoulder harder so it lessens the benefits. To counteract that we add the 2nd spring (instead of just solid spacer) to increase cushioning and extra weight to slow down the cycle speed and smooth it out. The mainspring we switch to a lighter one because dot recovery depends as much a softer return to battery as it does on a softer bottom out. Because of the extra spring taking up space, you'll get some pre-compression of the mainspring so the 85% might perform like a 95% and so on. Everyone's gun and ammo and shooting stance is different, so I can't give you the answer to what's best for you. Unfortunately there is no single answer and everyone should do a little experimenting.

Thanks, Eric Absolutely, I view it as more of a "controlled bumpfire". I can actually pretty consistently hit only 2 shots. It's like double clicking a mouse. In your head it's one action, but you don't accidentally "triple click" the mouse. I'm definitely not 100% consistent with it. I still get trigger freeze sometimes and will accidentally bump 3 instead of 2 other times. But it's a skill I'm working on that's unique to my specific PCC. Again I've never been able to do this with my .223 rifle. The recoil impulse is drastically different. For example check this video since it has a good variety of controlled bumpfire, controlled double taps, trigger freeze, etc: I'll go in order of targets engaged and explain what each was. Target 1: Controlled bumpfire (2 shots) Target 2: Popper, single shot Target 3: controlled bumpfire (2 shots) Target 4: medium range no-shoot, 2 sight pictures, 2 shots Target 5&6: Traditional double tap, one sight picture, 2 conscious trigger presses, not bumpfire Target 7: Popper, single shot (one miss) Target 8&9: double tap, one sight picture, 2 conscious trigger presses, not bumpfire Target 10: popper, single shot Target 11: controlled bumpfire (2 shots) Target 12: attempted controlled bumpfire, with triggerfreeze Target 13-17: normal double taps, not bumpfire Target 18: medium range no-shoot, 2 sight pictures Target 19: 3 sight pictures, called one miss so one make-up shot Target 20: medium range no shoot, 2 sight pictures Link to comment
Maxamundo Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Also this is a relatively new skill for me, it kind of just started happening subconsciously as I was shooting the Safariland match. When I shot the splits in this video and that other one with the spinner and the step-plate, I was like wow, I've never ever shot splits that fast in a match before. Link to comment
littlefish Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Little off topic, but was just finishing up loading for match tomorrow (9mm PPC) and the carbide seizer ring pulled out of the sizing die. Dillon of course has replacement die on the way. Luckily had enough ammo loaded. Never know what will happen next... Link to comment

A while back I was getting doubling and tripling. Some speculated it was bump-firing. In my case it was not controlled bump firing. That brings me to my question. To be able to bump fire on command, does your gun need to be set up on the ragged edge? Does it ever bump fire when a traditional double tap was desired? Good news, I now know what combination of springs and buffers will let me bump fire like the pros. I'm just not sure I want to. Edited July 15, 2017 by Flatland Shooter Link to comment

BigBamBoo Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 So Max. I run factory WWB 115 gr ammo. JP GMR-13 upper. I would am planning on ordering the Blitzkrieg buffer. What spring would you recommend for it? I just want it to run and do not want to do a bunch of experimenting. Also, I am intrigued by the wave spring behind the buffer spring cap. Is there a "cap" that you recommend to use with that setup? And what recoil spring should be used with that combo? thanks again for the wealth of knowledge you are sharing here. Link to comment

Thanks for the heads up! I will have to do some tests myself soon. As for adding that Smalley wave spring, that's essentially short stroking the gun right? Would the last round bolt hold open still work after this mod? Link to comment
nickbfishn Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Took my rig to the range Friday and match in Saturday. Using 130pf ammo and the jpscs with 90% spring, 3 SS & 1 tungsten weights. The bullets are 147 flat nose bayou bullets. The gun ran flawlessly and the dot movement is minimal. Practing double taps at 35' I am able to keep them well within the A! I'm pretty happy with it now. I still plan to work on the barrell extension like Max showed. And I'm going to change from N320 and work up a load with a slower burning powder and see what else I can do. Any suggestions on slow burning powder? Link to comment

10cup Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Looks like the larger shoulder of the buffer is attached to the smaller part that normally would be inside the buffer spring? Link to comment
BigBamBoo Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I think a standard 9mm buffer spacer would work. Easy to Trim to fit. This a NFA spacer. Edited July 18, 2017 by BigBamBoo Link to comment
10cup Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yeah I was thinking the same just have to wait to see how much the wave spring adds but should be a great solution. Thank you Link to comment
