ahtsay Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 They also make the MAC2011 which is an Edge "clone" that uses an original STi frame. They sell these for around 40% less than what an STi Edge would cost. I think its a pretty good deal as well. http://wscmakati.multiply.com/photos/album...vailable_at_WSC http://wscmakati.multiply.com/photos/album...at_WSC#photo=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Let us know if the sight cuts are standard Novak. Yep. I installed a Dawson (Novak pattern) .100-width F/O up front and the STI (made by Champion, I believe) tactical adjustable rear unit. They went in without any major effort. As you can see, the magwell is on there as well. Those are really the only improvements the gun really needs to run in SS division--if I start hanging too many more parts on this thing, I will be defeating the whole purpose of buying the gun in the first place, right? I shot a couple mags of factory JHP ammo through it the other day, and had a couple feedway stoppages. Although the gun appears to be reasonably well throated, and it works OK with ball ammo, I thought the feed angle looked a little steep. So I re-throated the barrel and re-worked the ramp, and it looks a lot better. I can't test-fire it right now because we're in the middle of a "blizzard of epic proportions" here in central Iowa, but it seems to feed rounds manually from the mag quite a bit more smoothly.

Rick, are you by any chance referring to the hermetically-sealed biosphere known locally as the "Des Moines Skywalk System"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 After re-throating the ACII and putting a bit of additional tension on the extractor (which appears nicely made and seems to hold spring tension well), it's now feeding everything, including the JHPs that were choking before. For prospective purchasers, this may be something to keep in mind. If you don't do your own 'smithing work and don't want to spend the bucks to send it to somebody, you might be limited to running hardball-profile ammo.

Great, just when I'd stopped thinking about buying one of these, I'm reminded again! R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
