waktasz Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 That's just a guess based on it being so damn heavy. I don't really know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will shoot it tomorrow. I will say that it's difficult to compress that spring and rod for assembly. I put 200 quick rounds through it today. It functioned perfectly. It only throws the brass about 2 feet, and allot of it in front of me. I am running 130 PF 124 gr jacketed.

ohsevenflhx Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I found this tip online, so it's not my idea, but it works well. Put a 1/4" rod through the muzzle end of the slide hole and put the recoil spring on it. Then put the ZR rod in the recoil spring. Butt the 2 ends together and push the ZR rod into place, which pushes the 1/4" rod out. It helps the recoil spring from buckleing and keeps everything in place.

Any tips? Assuming you have the right spring, it’s not that hard once you get the am hang of it. Use you’re fingers to hold the spring while you’re pressing down.

WxGuy Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 For you guys running the ZR rod and 13lbs spring, any issues? Any problems with 127-128 power factor ammo? I'm taking mine out today for the first time with this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 No issues at all but my ammo is 136 pf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I have about 600 rounds through this same setup . I'm right at 132p.f. without any failures so far . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Ran approx 200 rounds of below 130pf ammo this weekend. No issues with the setup. I was looking at my chrono data for the Syntech 150g. It runs at 140PF out of my barrel. I have a 15lbs spring coming just for loads above 135PF. I could just put the stock RSA back in but I like to know what really works. I also got all the info from this forum. Thanks guys!!
