Silverscooby27 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Has anyone especially with a JP GMR-15 actually gone back to the standard SCS from the short stroke and why? Link to comment
RandyBaker Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’m assuming everyone running the short stoke likes it over the standard. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hello: I don't have a JP PCC but I like the longer stroke over the short stroke. I tried both and the short stroke is a little faster but my hits are better with the longer stroke. I also don't like the recoil impulse from the shortened stroke. Lastly I like to be able to lock the bolt back when I bag it. Thanks, Eric Link to comment

I was thinking it would lessen the recoil and limit the muzzle bounce. I haven’t shot one though but was thinking about getting one but your post is making me think more about though. Link to comment
rowdyb Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I short stroked my JP before firing the first round. I then added the enhanced bolt so I could lock it back and keep it short stroked. I shoot 147grain bullets at 945fps. I also run 5 tungsten weights and have it feeling and hitting at speed how I like. Link to comment

Kinda....more AR carbine like.There for the 100 grainer moving 1310 FPS. Link to comment

I'm just curious, since I machined my own stainless steel "H5" buffer for my short stroke setup and even though it felt like a pretty clunky buffer at first it seems to work well. Just wanted to know if I'm in the same ballpark as other short stroke setups... Link to comment

H5 carrier with 5 tungsten weighs 11.7 oz. JP SS enhanced bolt weighs 13.4 oz. Total reciprocating mass = 25.1 oz. Edited August 15, 2019 by Cavy Link to comment

I shoot basically the same load as you and just bought the standard short stroke buffer. Don’t have the bolt yet. Just curious as the difference between all Tungsten and standard short stroke.

Thank you, Sir! Seems I'm pretty close to that with a 11.76oz buffer and 14.39oz bolt (total 26,15oz). Link to comment

No I did not. I started with what you get when you buy the standard short stroke kit, 3 tungsten and 2 steel. I shot it like that for two weeks and then switched to 5 tungsten. That gives me the closest recoil feel to the MPX I shot previously for 2 years. The extra 2 tungsten were like $75 to get. I have not played with the different spring weights, though I do have them.

Aircooled6racer Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hello: The short stroke setup hits the shoulder harder for me even with a wave spring installed. I use a timer and hits on paper as my guide to see what works for me. I have been trying 3 different buffer setups including JP, MBX and a Blitzkrieg. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
RandyBaker Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Do you find that the recoil is directly proportional to dot movement? Did d know if It was a push or rise Edited August 16, 2019 by RandyBaker Link to comment
rowdyb Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 All I do is put the dot in the center of a 15 yard target and pull the trigger twice as fast as I can (0.14 split). One sight picture two trigger pulls. How I hold the gun, my ammo, and all my set up have me happy with where I am at now. Link to comment
