I wanted a 10 mm but wasn’t willing to take on the probs getting it to run. I haven’t read one review that convinced me. I would also really like a lever gun in 10mm but not to the tune of a couple grand for the total custom action required. Instead I’ll just be patient with my Springfield long slide trp (that I can’t find a holster for). I’ll make one myself eventually when my other project calm down.

98Z5V Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm out. Not shooting it. I've shot your fukin' 10mm "warm" loads through a handgun. I'm not shooting this thing and cutting off my right shoulder. I'm just sayin'... I wanna see YOU shoot this thing first... 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted September 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Jesus guys ... The Warm loads cycle and only go 1250 fps , just like Mike's from Double Taps. The Hot loads I don't shoot any more because they don't cycle in the Witness. But I will try them in the G20. The AR 10mm will be gas operated and with enough weight the recoil should be minimal. Probably will try an 8 or 9 once buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've shot the "hot loads" too - because I'm your guinea pig... That .300 WSM comes to mind, now that we talk about "warm" and "hot" loads... That 6lb bitch is BRUTAL... No matter what platform you shoot those fuckers from, I did my time... Edited September 7, 2020 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted September 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Another update, got a LPK and a pistol receiver extension for this build. Parts are out there. Went to a LGS , his prices are a$$ rapingly high !! There are a lot of parts on the shelves and Handguns on the wall. Dude is marking up 50% to over 100% from what was there just a few months ago. Will only go back if I really need something ! And he is on my text messages list of friends. Going to leave this one alone !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Ordered an 8 oz buffer. If that doesn't work will have to get a 10 oz KAW buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Went to my favorite paintball (LGS) they got another FFL. Pick up a bunch of little parts. Raw upper, buffer tube, 2- 7.5oz buffer. Owner was explaining that gun parts manufacturers are locking in prices until February and March on all of their orders. This helps explain the shortage of AR parts in Gun Stores. Store owners don't want to get stuck with high price inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albroswift Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Back out with the 40 pcc. Replaced the 10oz solid buffer with the Odin, 4 tungsten weights, Sprinco red. 4-1/8" buffer came in at 11.36 oz Weights and pads fit tight, so sanded a little bit off the bumper to get a little bounceout of the weights. Put Wilson 33 round 9mm springs in the old 22 round .40 mags. Speed up the feed slowed down the bolt. Was running reliability but still getting the occasional double / triple burst, this cured it, no double taps and 100% feeding 155 gr XTPs in the 1500 fps range. Going to watch for a deal on a couple more Odins, do my pistol and the brother's while I'm on a roll.

Going to watch for a deal on a couple more Odins, do my pistol and the brother's while I'm on a roll. These Odin adjustable buffers are pretty damn cool. I'm glad they did this. Makes tuning and checking a whole lot easier. My old Olympic Arms AR-45 might end up getting my Odin AR15 Heavy adjustable buffer - we'll see. It used to double up sometimes with an H3 and stardard carbine spring. Now it's got a Sprinco Orange in there, and the H3. If it doubles up again with this combo, I'll try the Red spring and see. After that - the Odin heavy goes in there. The Oly Arms setup uses a different bolt/BCG configuration - it's not a flat-faced BCG like other pistol stuff out there - it actually has a bolt in it that's non-reciprocating - roll=pinned into the BCG body, just a standard AR15 BCG. Because of that, if you use a PCC-specific longer heavy buffer, it won't lock back on the bolt face, it'll only lock lack on the BCG body - not enough BCG travel to lock it back right, with a pistol buffer. So, you're stuck with a 3.250" buffer to get it to cycle right. Edited March 28, 2021 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albroswift Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think the sliding weights and pads were the last piece of the puzzle. The red spring is for longer buffers could be the spring rate of the longer spring helps as well. The orange spring doesn't get compressed with the longer buffers. It's a thought anyway. Really like the .40 for a PCC caliber but they seem to be a tricky bugger to get balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
