optimator Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I've decided to convert my Buckmark Camper UFX to a SC gun. So far I've backordered a 5.5" TacSol barrel, and today I bought a C-more slide ride from the classifieds. Which mount do you guys prefer, flat or 90? This is my first go with an optic pistol so I don't have any experience either way. I do think the 90 may be easier to adjust to since it seems to be close to using irons. I like flat triggers so I know i'll add one. I will also do the Haggis flip on the spring. I might change the grips & add a thumb rest. Is there anything I'm missing?

AR_James Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Striplin Custom Gunworks can hook you up with an excellent 90° mount for the C-More. Plus, he has the thumbrest and grip adapters if you decide to change out the grips. https://striplincustom.com/collections/buckmark-accessories One thing I recommend that I did not see you mention: change out your extractor with the TANDEMKROSS "Eagle's Talon". I went from a stovepipe every 200-300 rounds to virtual none after the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up on the extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFL Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 TacSol barrel Allchin comp and C-More mount Volquartsen hammer and sear spring (no longer produced) and extractor TandemKross trigger, mag release and firing pin Striplin slide racker, grip panels, thumbrest and guide rod Valkyrie Dynamics 1911 grips If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it exactly the same. Volquartsen not making the hammer/spring any longer would be a problem other than the fact I have one left in case I decide to do another gun. Sounds like TandemKross is about to reveal something along those lines at Shot next week, so that could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any reason you went with a flat mount vs a 90? I do have to say it looks more "balanced". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFL Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I’ve never liked a 90 mount. The gun was originally a Contour model with the full-length rail and I had the C-More mounted with the railway mount. I got used to it but when I swapped barrels I went with the Allchin mount which puts the optic directly on the mount without the railway and that put it noticeably lower, which after a brief adjustment period, I like WAY better. Not as low as a 90, but I just don’t care for the 90. Edited January 20, 2019 by RCFL Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoMiE Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ran the allchin and striplin 90 on a buckmark. Went back to just irons. I preferred the allchin over the 90 degree mount. The 90 made it more difficult to rack and difficult to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Why change the barrel - how much more accuracy will you get with an after-market barrel, than the original factory barrel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
