    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I shoot with a couple long range service rifle shooters (think 20” 308win pushing 185s 2600fps) ) that swear by them. I assume you tube them in the small frames?

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I’m not sure how I could tell. I bought these around 2023 from mag warehouse I think. Edit. These are not duramags. I have five is six of these as well. Maybe I got NOS?

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I’ll check the pin. Bolt release was moving freely, as was the charging handle. Very strange feeling to pull a charging handle all the way to the stop with zero resistance. We tried the colt 20 rounder before we changed buffer springs. I think the blue is just too much for this rig. All good...

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    They are, however I been Running this buffer in this tube for 5 years. Not saying this rifle is having issue, but having a bolt was a first for me. The extension tube is not bent or dented. Issue 2, shot a 2 gun match with recce six weeks ago. I could see this one maybe needing a few oz...

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I go through the ARs I compete with and replace cam pins, firing pin retainers and this year I decided to change buffer springs. My main competition rifle is five years old and though it only has about 3500 rounds in it I figured why not. Main rifles have mil spec carbine receiver extensions...

    45* or 90* red dot

    ^^ This shouldn’t be a sticky… All this talk about transitions time. How much are you guys transitioning? I think the 2 gun matches with with Throoms (2 or 3” lollipops inside 20 yards) is probably the most I transition in a stage. Otherwise, AC zone reduced and larger targets 100 and in...

    NX vs ATACR

    I have both the G3 and he NX8 and as of three weeks ago have competed with both. (4 years with the G3, three stages with the NX8) The g3 is a little easier to get behind, both “eye box” and eye relief. The NX8 has better illumination and is lighter. I also like the FC DMX better than the...

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun, Honoring the Fallen as a Family

    I don’t remember the exact count, but I think something like 95 rifle and 100 pistol if you went 100%. I ended up using like 4 rifle mags and 6 pistol mags (21 rounders). Legion guys wanted a higher pistol count last year, and overall higher round count with seven stages. I enjoy the bigger...

    Suppressors Ocm 5 on 6arc

    Nope. I can’t speak for the OCM5 but the AEM5 will gas you hard if you run 4-5 rapidly, even with the PRI Gasbuster. I still love the can and would 100% buy again.

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    At Midnight Madness in March there was a stage with steel out at like 150 yards , across a ravine. Guy a few spots it front of me shot a flasher off one. The RO had to go out there and try to fix it, under NODS. I got a good 17 minute rest and he got fucking smoked running up and down wooded...

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    I ran the RECCE and the mod0 in a few stages at a 2 gun yesterday. RECCE ran fine, though I had an issue getting a round to strip from a mag post movement. Odd thing was, I used that mag in the first shooting box. Was low in ammo and instead of dropping it post HVT shot (which I fucking missed...
