Gunsmithing Vulcan Machine Werks STI Optics Cut quick review

Just a quick review and pictures of the completed work on my STI Edge by Vulcan Machine Werks. I spent quite a bit of time looking around at shops before deciding on Vulcan, so maybe this will be helpful to others.

In short I am very happy with the work done on my STI. I had stopped shooting it as much in favor of my CO pistols and after shooting a friends MPA 2011 with an optic I decided I wanted to look into getting mine cut. Unfortunately because of the very low cut STI made to fit the original dawson adjustable rear, most standard red dot cuts would not work due to the amount of material available. Eventually my research brought me to Vulcan, who after discussing over the phone with one of their machinists, said that they were not concerned due to their plate system being compatible with the older STI slides and they had done many others.

After 14 weeks, I got the pistol back and the results are exactly what I wanted. The 1/3rd cowitness backup sights are solid quality, but sit nicely out of the way. The SRO looks great and shoots great on this pistol and I can track the dot during cycling. This gun was always phenomenally reliable beforehand, and the work rendered hasn't seemed to affect this (only had time to shoot 300 rounds through it last weekend).

Moving along my placeholder action. Lilja barrel, chambered in 300WM by Red Bull Armory. RR prefix action, Timney hunter trigger (if you don’t want this I’ll drop $75 off the price). Has some wear and a few dings on the barrel but looks the part. Round count ~25. 6-48 scope base screws, bolt serial doesn’t match the action (but is the bolt Red Bull built the BA with).

Accessories Seekonk 3/8 T handle torque wrench

I purchased it a while back and was going to use it for my XM3 kit but realized it was the incorrect one. I believe this one is what they considered a ratcheting model. It is 3/8 and I do not remember what it was set for. I know you can send it back and have it adjusted to what inch pound you want.

Looking for $50 shipped to lower 48

Issues with Kidd Build

over the past year i have collected parts and built a full kidd 22, (no stock parts left) bedded in a boyds pro varmint. i went a real roundabout way, replacing parts as i could rather than buying a barreled action. My issue now is feeding; i have tried half a dozen types of ammo, new mags, old mags, all three recoil springs, and i am still having feed issues. is there anything i can do or do i contact Kidd?

It struggles to feed the first round and shaves bullets almost every time. This not only causes feed issues, but super inconsistent groups past 25 yards. I think it is clearly an alignment issue, but not sure how it happened. Seems like the feed angle is too steep.

Have tried Wolf match extra, SK Pistol match, SK Rifle match, cci green tag, aguila gold eagle match, and some bulk box ammo. It doesn't really seem to matter what i use, it all struggles to seat the first round all the way to battery and then chokes eventually. everything seems to eject fine, but the feed is killing me.
