There can be a change in accuracy, based on bolt lock time. Buffer weight does play into that. If you're way overgassed, and your bolt is unlocking too soon, your accuracy will be poop. That was the whole basis for the Tubb CWS, in the first place - increase bolt lock time to increase potential accuracy - recoil reduction was a secondary (if that) design consideration.

The CWS is a shell and two differently-weighted inserts. You can run just the shell, and no weights. What you're after is the 0.080" added onto the length of the carrier. <thumbsup>

Flat rate UPS? Maybe shipping + insurance, combined? I'd have to check my last order with them, which wasn't long ago, but the shipping wasn't bad.

I knew it. The back of the BCG isn't pushing the buffer off it's retaining pin when you close the upper and lower together. That's what is chewing up your buffer face. This is very, very similar to the early issues with the IRA sets. There's something off in the machining, with the upper receiver, lower receiver, or bolt carrier length. One of those three. I'd be very hesitant to find the fault with the Quentin Defense lower - those guys have been putting out very high quality parts for a very long time, and really know what they're doing. Short answer in all this - you can solve this problem for about $60. Insert a Tubb CWS into the bolt carrier, as it adds 0.080" to the length of the carrier. That should be enough to push the buffer off it's retaining pin, when upper and lower are closed.

Staying with a "true" 1911, or anything semiauto in ,45ACP? If you're after the .45, I'd say FNP/FNX 45, man.

1. Having the gas block loosen up on you is not normal. However, only having one recess drilled in the barrel, for the rear-most set screw is normal. Using red loc-tite on those set screws is routine - should be done. 2. Get pics of that old buffer face - I know where this is going, already. Get some pics of it up, man. What upper and lower did you use on this build, again?

Meprolight does a nice set for the XD pistols - would work like the Ledge setups.

Welcome here - looking forward to watching this one progress. <thumbsup>

Sorry if I sounded frustrated - I see a bunch of guys trying to help you, and not much to go on... My apologies...

Post a pic of your actual poop man, and maybe we can figure it out. Pics-of-pics-from-somwhere-else dont really help much. Don't throw up a pic of someone else's ad, and ask what the hell it is - damn near impossible, when you're relying n thieir GB ad. At that point, you should have asked the seller what it was, ans not us... <dontknow>

You baited it, like I bait Drew with 'em... <thumbsup> <laughs>

I nailed that poop... :banana:

You guys are truculent. Look that up - I KNOW that you do not know what it means... <laughs>

^^^ That's what sh... nevermind... <laughs>

The new Pmag in there?...

The you probablty realize, already, how cool the 5.56, 300BLK, .45 ACP, 9mm and .22LR are? Don't you?... <munch>

It should be, by now, brother! Damn! :))

I just want to see your Action Tits, man... <thumbsup> <laughs>

Dude, you have friends EVERYWHERE... <laughs>

Same here, brother - don't miss the organization, but I miss the camaraderie and great friends, that you could always count on. <thumbsup>

You are runnin' with scissors, brother... :))

You ARE a page from the back of guns&ammo... I'm just sayin'... <laughs>

OP do you already have the Jard trigger? Setup is everything, with it. I had a 2lb Jard in my .308 AR - it's in another rifle now, only because I got the .308 SR Gold for the .308. On a few occasions, when others shoot my .308, they would double it. It came directly from trigger follow-through (or lack of follow-through). It's such a short reset, that if you don't have proper follow-through (and weak-finger it), you'll allow it to reset immediately. The reaction to recoil (rifle coming back forward), and the imperceptible trigger finger position (let off trigger pressure, but trigger finger almost in the firing position) will bump the trigger again. Boom #2. WIth proper trigger follow-through, this is never, never a problem. I briefed everybody since that shot that rifle with that trigger, prior to them shooting it (once I saw what was happening).

That's what I'm thinking. AR15 pins.

Should use the standard AR-10 or DPMS takedwn and pivot pins, right?
