Insight Technology I’ve got a G20 (gen 3) that’s experiencing occasional FTFs. Each FTF is the same; the round is about half way into the chamber from the magazine, but simply seems to get “stuck” there. For most of these FTFs, a quick slap to the magazine base will finish sending the round into the chamber (ie, first part of a type one malfunction clearance drill). The FTFs have occurred using the gun stock, as well as with a 20# recoil spring, and finally with a KKM barrel (17 & 20# springs). All told, the gun has over 700 rounds through it. Since 10mm is so stinking expensive in factory form, the only ammo my G20 has ever been fed are my reloads (off of a Dillon 550). So there’s always a chance my reloads are part (if not all) of the problem. All of my reloads have used Starline brass, and most all have used 180gr Hornady XTP bullets. For powder, I’ve used Longshot (mv of ~1250), Titegroup (mv ~1150), and AA #9 (mv ~1175). Failures have occured with any of these powders, but seem to be more common when using AA #9 (4 to 5 in the space of 50 rounds). All rounds have been loaded to an OAL of 1.26″ (per loading manual specs), and taper crimped. I’ve inspected the barrels (stock & KKM), and have been unable to see anything to cause this. Also, the ejector seems to work freely enough (not dirty or stuck). With the 20# recoil spring, most all of the brass lands at about 4:00, approx. 8-10 feet away. I’m using a solid two-handed hold (no limp wristing going on here). Am I perhaps missing something in my loading (OAL too long?), or do I need to send the gun back to Glock? Are there any other “magic” things I’ve missed? I’ve reloaded for & shot over 5,000 rounds of 9mm in my G17 with no issues, if that helps any. Any Insight Technology into what’s going on would be greatly appreciated. FedDC

4/5/2012 2:47:33 AM Alright, well I decided on which one to get and just ordered the the gear sector scope mounts straight from them! I liked the DD due to less rail space and less over hang off the rails but with GS making the cross bolt next to the socket, it was lower profile in exchange of more rail estate which Im ok with. The GS back end sits flush to the rail where as the DD has a little space. Also, I am running a BFG VCAS QD both ends with a IWC triglide so when in 1 point config, the GS would be more friendly on the nuts/legs vs the DD square shape. The last thing that sealed the deal was how if the bolt fails on the GS, I wouldnt lose it and it would just be loose. jagdterrier

4/6/2012 9:43:37 PM That’s funny. Yeah I don’t think I could tell the guy next to me at the range that his blast is bothering me. That’s what I expect. The other day at the range this guy had a muzzle loader that was getting everybody’s attention. I thought it was great. It made me laugh every time it went off. Judge561: I dont have a can (yet…) but I run the MB556K. I love it. Combined with my midlength system, its wonderful. Although I did recently have a dude next to me ask to move to a diffent lane because my “muzzle blast was hitting him everytime”. I reminded him that he was at a rifle range, then moved to the other end of the range. Munition

I’ve got shelves of Rubbermaid bins with gear that isn’t used frequently or “go to” and small quantities of ammunition separated in various sized tupperware bins.

M14 Scope Mounts
M14 Scope Mounts Those would be the two I mentioned above. There’s something odd about the court ruling and I’m pretty sure it only applies to those two particular rifles. I think Different has the details. FWIW, the majority of M14 Scope Mounts‘s were issued with selector locks (semi-auto only) instead of the selector switch. [...]

Mesa Tactica Mesa Tactical – I was thinking about a Stag Arms Model 8 piston system. Pretty much set that aside and then took a serious look at a Daniel Defense M4V5. Then we checked out the LWRC M6A2; such a sweet piston system rifle. Also checked out a SCAR … nice. Left with lots [...]

4/11/2012 10:38:45 PM Seems that the powers that be did not want a recon/forward scope mounts configuration and it makes sense. Harmonics being what they are, we all know that the SCAR 17 is a bit tough on optics at times. A scope mounts that doesn’t act like a tuning fork would seem to be [...]
