survivalshop Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I got the Gas Tube yesterday & also the Thread protector & a complete rifle for testing . I just don't like not having my Case Gage to make sure Brass are HS correctly . I never needed one till lately , now I can't live with out checking , my Dummy fed & chambered as said . Will test until it gets in from back order . I mistakenly thought the 13" HG would cover the Gas Block , I will order a 15" & use this one for another Upper with mid length Gas System . Kinda looks ok , but any attachment of a Rail , the GB looks like it will interfere . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I weighed the Rifle yesterday with mounted Scope & no mag , the weight was close to 8# , a little heavier then I thought it would be . Must be the 20" bbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the 20" bbl. Mine is probably that heavy- or more - with the 18" barrel. Haven't weighed it yet. Lemme get to that. Answer = 8.68 pounds unloaded, 9.50 pounds with a loaded 20-round Gen 2 PMag. Edited May 5, 2017 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Plenty of room in the 20 round metal mag. I could go longer in the COL & not have interference issue , but will not at this time . One thing I don't have are 20 rd. PMags, might get a couple just for the 25-45.

survivalshop Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm going to change some scopes around on some of my rifles & like 98 did , will be swapping the Burris 2x7x35 for a Burris 3x9x40 on the 25-45 rifle , the 2x7 will be going back on one of the 5.56 rifles , the large 6.5x22x50 on my 16" 308 ( which I put on just for testing Hand Loads ) is coming off & going back to Iron's ( MBUS ) only , its the way it was & wanted it from the beginning. Photo's from the range after tomorrow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Rifle shot great , no failures of any kind , all test loads locked the Bolt Back . I'll post the same Photo of the Target here as I will in the reloading section . This is with only a light lubing of Components . The Geissele Super 42 Spring & Buffer worked great , the rifle has no felt recoil or muzzle climb even with out a Muzzle device of any kind , just a Thread protector . Its funny at the range with all the old guys , we call it old guy Tuesday , they were impressed with this newer Cartridge & we circled around me during testing & were laughing at my fuk'ed up Chrono readings , my Magnitospeed needs some sensitivity adjustments , the 4640 fps it showed a couple times , seemed no one believed it The Errors , I believed & after talking to the Magnitospeed people , they say i need to adj. the settings for it to work correctly .

survivalshop Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 After using Rock Set on the Thread Protector , it didn't move for the last testing . The new test loads were in the 2700 fps range & can be seen in the reloading section thread , there was a slight increase in recoil , if you could call it that , but no muzzle rise with no Brake on their Barrel/Caliber , quite surprising . Might have something to do with the Geissele Buffer system . Rifle is shooting good , no cleaning or re-lubing , since assembly with the " 98 Special " . I'm going to order another HG just like this one , but in Gray & also get another Stock in Gray . To match the Pistol Grip , of course .

survivalshop Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I ordered this today to swap the Barrel ,BCG Stock , Lower Parts of the 25-45 Sharps to & also going top use one of the new Tactical Machining 2nd Amendment Lowers for it . I have plans for the BRO Receiver set . . Its a Hunting Rifle type so I figured the Aero FDE upper would look better & I wanted a HG to cover the Gas Block anyway , we will see how she shoots . On sale this weekend for $ 189 & free shipping , I just couldn't pass it up , Edited July 29, 2017 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have the 25-45 Sharps converted to mostly FDE , all I need to swap out is the Stock to FDE . It doesn't look bad with the black stock , but the an FDE will look better . Since I now have a FDE Sig P320 , my conversion is complete . Photo's of the improved 25-45 Sharps will come from a range trip tomorrow to test my last test loadings .

survivalshop Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Before After I like the new look , had some issues with the James Madison Tactical Trigger today .Called them up & they are sending me a return label to send it back for adj. & repair . Seems some of the first ones went out not adjusted correctly because of a out of calibration tool ,of some sort . The trigger would give double taps & the rest of the time it would not reset the Trigger or it was following the Hammer back , rifle locked back on last round every time . I'm wondering how that might have screwed up a couple of my Chrono results , I will post them any way for your viewing pleasure later .

Chrono results from today ( 98 ) , only a couple , I will decide what load I will set for this rifle after I have looked at all of them. looks like H335 will be the powder , with the Terminator a close second , but that Powder looks too be my new 5.56 Powder , will see when I put it through a couple of 16" bbl's.. Temp. was 93 deg. , Humidity was around 60% , little two no wind , except for the new Fans they put at the shooting benches & I forgot my Rest & rear Bag .

98Z5V Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Those 90 SGKs are gettin' it done! I love it!!! The 25.8gr of Xterm is looking pretty damn great, too, but I'm liking the speeds of the H335. Both look great, though - that's some damn good work, there, brother.
