Nemo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The idea has been thrown around and there may be one or more in the very preliminary stages of development. What should we look for regarding comps, optics, springs, loads, etc? Burwell, Kenny, Cyrwus? Let me know your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Amigo, I'd say the priorities are: - Can you make major in that gun (i.e. with an aftermarket barrel maybe?) - Then, mounting a dot to the thing. And yes...I don't mean mounting it to the slide. - After that, everything else is easy (comp, magwell, mags, etc.) Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) Aswer to many of your questions here... http://mp-pistol.com/boards/index.php?show...hl=burwell+open It looks like the comp is actually the bigger issue. I run the Mag extensions (ISMI springs) and Magwell from speed shooters to run Limited class with no falures so you covered up to at least 23rnds+1.

Nemo Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Aswer to many of your questions here... Cool! Thanks NoSteel! Can't believe Dan used a Miculek comp on that thing. Wonder how his new comp looks and works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm thinking if you go with a threaded barrel you may have some pretty neat options. Appears like a pretty cheap way to build a reliable Open package. Would like to see what the accuracy looks like. If there are any longevity issues, Dan will find them!!!! By the way, the mag extensions worked out great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the mag extensions worked out great!!! The gun already has a threaded barrel installed. The gunny is lookin to experiment with comps but if Dan has already walked that path I'll get them in touch. Glad the Taylors worked for you, Rod. It's a very well made part. More to come...

Nemo Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 NoSteel, Do you know if Dan lightened the slide of the open M&P9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Burwell Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Nemo, I put some pics up in my open M&P thread here and on the M&P forum. The comp was made from a blank that Enos forum member Extremeshot made for me. He cut the bore and threads and I was just left to cut the ports. I may have to have him make me another one as I thought up another design that I would like to try out (more for giggles than anything). I didn't do any slide lightening, but I am running a bit high on the power factor 180+ and using the factory springs. You may need to take a little weight off if you want to run your pf under 170 or just go lighter on the springs. The comp can make a big difference on what springs you use, it seems the better it works the lighter the springs or the slide have to be. I think Kenny may have worked some other comp out for David Olhasso, but Dave was planning on using it for steel matches. Last I talked to David he had his top end done but hadn't really tested it yet. No steel, as for accuracy, I may just be dumb lucky, but my gun is shooting one hole groups at 12yds that can be covered by a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarter Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Dan, can anything be done with a sight mount for a C-more????? Then, after you answer that question, tell me how much to put one together for me? What about the 9L or the Pro. Anyone making aftermarket threaded barrels for them yet?????
