edgecrusher Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nice job, but good luck concealing that on your waistband. <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrConcealed Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yeah, I dont think this is what the state had in mind when they gave me my concealed permit. Pretty heavy as well, would have a hard time keeping the drawers up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrConcealed Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Made an oopsie. Geissele trigger came in today. Much to my surprise it was the SD3G instead of the S3G, I ordered the wrong one..... Needless to say, its getting installed in a minute and will be at the range tomorrow. I have never used a flat trigger, hope I can get use to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrConcealed Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 It may be flat, but that has got to be the smoothest trigger I have ever put my finger on. I'm pumped about getting it to the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've got the S3G in one gun - you'll still love it. Damn great trigger. <thumbsup>I'll try to replicate a run I made a couple weeks ago with that gun/trig. 18-something seconds for 19 rounds of fire. It was moving to four different shooting positions.Position 1 - engage one target, 3 rounds, move.Position 2 - engage two targets, 3 rounds each, move.Position 3 - engage one clay shotgun pigeon, end final time.Position 4 - engage 3 targets, 3 rounds each, move.Seems a little screwy by description, but it was:Start on 1, move to 2, bypass 3 and shoot 4, then run back to 3 and end the course. I had some butt-hurt buddies on my final run, and they didn't even want to go back out and shoot again to try to beat it. Homos. <lmao> I NEED to take my helmet-cam out there, hooked up to my mellon. It's a pretty fun course to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrConcealed Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Nice day at the range. Love the trigger! Zero play, and a super clean break. Shot some good groups with the exception of pulling a couple.Recoil is darn near unbearable. Hydraulic buffer and flat spring dont seem to have had much effect of reducing the recoil. Two failure to extracts from the factory metal mag, none from the Pmag. Ammo shot was Federal 168 grain Match.The recoil has to be dealt with, it is crazy. Maybe over gassed? Maybe an adjustable gas block would help? I would appreciate any suggestions you all have to offer. Shot 40 rounds and feel like I was kicked by a mule.

imschur Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 certainly an adjustable gas block is a good place to start. I have no experience with the endine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Perceived recoil is a subjective thing. I have a MEGA .308 with a 14.5" Noveske barrel with fixed BABC muzzle brake. I find the recoil to be pretty mild, not .223 race gun mind you, but I could put 100's of rounds through it without feeling beat up afterwards. I figure your gun must be at least as heavy as mine, and the gas system/barrel length are close, so the only thing I can come up with is that I have Clint's CAR XH buffer and spring in mine. I have never tried the Endine, is there any chance the one you have is defective or malfunctioning? If recoil is truly punishing, does the carrier slam the extension at the end of it's stroke? If so you should resolve it before putting too many more rds through the gun to avoid doing any damage to it. If it's not slamming the back of the extension, you might be just experiencing the characteristics of the Endine. Maybe another member that is using one could give us their opinion.

MrConcealed Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm not expecting .223 recoil out of it, but it is a little ridiculous. More than the mule kick, it throws the rifle completely off target, even holding with good force, I have to search for the target to reaquire it. Going to tear it down tonight and do a good inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Silly rabbit, you're still using the A2 birdcage flash hider. Go find a reputable brake or comp. A JP brake or a BABC comp would make a world of difference. There are a lot of other (less expensive) options available also. The bird cage does nothing to help the average shooter. I'm sure you already know this, but for the readers who don't... If you shoot with your bipod on a table (or similar hard surface) you are going to bounce. Bipods work best when shooting on the ground. If you want to table shoot, simulate the ground under the bipod by folding a towel or a jacket under the feet. A strip of memory foam would be awesome.

MrConcealed Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Going to order the JP adjustable gas block and I will look for a break at the same time. I appreciate the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 If you shoot from a line, like at a public range, don't shoot next to anyone you like... And double up on ear protection, foamies and muffs. Muzzle brakes are great for reduced felt recoil, but damn are they loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrConcealed Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ok,JP adjustable gas block and JP Enterprises Bennie Cooley TactiCal Muzzle Brake are on the way and should be here by Friday. Hopefully get a chance to get it to the range this weekend and test them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Youve inspired me. When I do my MA-TEN build I am going to try the JP Low Mass Operating System and Adjustable Gas Block to see how low I can get the recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrConcealed Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Still trying to figure out where the regular buying stops, and the regular shooting starts.Ahhh, first one and I think I'm addicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrConcealed Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ok,Got the JP Adjustable Gas Block and Muzzle Brake yesterday. Had the gunsmith lathe the shoulder a bit to index the Brake without washers, he did a very nice job. Crappy picture, but I'm too lazy to get the camera out again. Out to the range on Sunday to give her a test run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
