I shot that first and it works good,, later I threw the new KAK bolt in the JP Enterprises low mass BCG marked "Wilson Combat", it was clear the JP bolt carrier had a very inefficient bolt/gas ring bore, back with the full mass KAK carrier, no its not nearly as nicely finished on the outside as the JP low mass BCG but.. Sprinco Orange and KAK 5.3 oz Buffer.. I cut the gas way back, hoping to minimize the damage to my once fired brass.. anyway, my rifle is back in business, I offered to buy the used bolt body from Wilson, but they reminded me those are 300 Bolt Carriers?? no you guys can keep it, I was surprised by the slop in the bolt raceway... so good for Wilson Combat on my rifle repair,, but but, I asked my FFL to check the fit on the "Matched Bill et upper and lower",, he said well, I don't know, but I'm a little concerned... took a couple of Wilson Combat pivot/take down pin sets, and it was looser than a goose.. I told my FFL to send it back, its been back at Wilson Combat since 12/13/21, and not a word out of them. yes I did call and Jason told me 10 to 14 business days on returns. Today was business day 18,,, yeah, I was disappointed, but as the days rack up?? I called Wilson Combat, and they rushed me nice "matched" Bill et upper and lower to replace old rattler, picked it up Friday from my FFL and he remarked wow, that first set was all rattling, he was impressed... So almost finished with my build... now the heavy 223 Wylde barrel takes an .875 gas block, which I am impatiently waiting for, and once it was all almost together and I was admiring it, I realized my 12.5" handguard is gonna be too short.. so I'm going to have to move some more money, and order a 13.6" handguard.. I did build it with a Magpul MOE + pistol grip! I bought UBR II, I like it,, but its heavy.. so we will see.. I wish it was on the 308AR, and it does come in OD GREEN. Anyway A+ on Wilson Combats response and always making it right! Edited January 23, 2022 by billymagg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 4" barrel?? Is that a recent Model 27 with the little "hidey hole" safety?? I was tempted to purchase one at my local gunshop several years ago when they ran a 3 1/2" for old times sake, it was nice,,, I've got a 6" and 5" 357 Magnum in the gold box, and S series 3 1/2" Model 27 from about 1967 that I've shot, a little.. I've got a 38/44 with a 6" barrel that shoots lites out, some guys bored the cylinder to .357 on those, it actually was the for runner of the model 27. I've got a set of stags on the 3 1/2",, that thing is pure sugar, love it. 3 1/2" was the standard FBI pistol back in the day, when the FBI still fought crime, instead of Donald Trump!!! I really do have a thing for those early diamond magna grips, they work very well, and look the bomb,, those magna's loolk good on your gun... those aren't the Hogue's are they??

We will be waiting on a range report, nice to see a recent model 27, a tribute to Smith and Wesson's serious place in the handgun business.

All good, so we are going to get a range report?? you know what I mean about the 3 1/2" and 4' barrels then,, just an amazing feel, I like my 4" 29-2 as well,, it loves those 210 grain Winchester Silvertips if you can find them.. I stay away from anything under 158 grains in 357, with the exception of Winchester Silvertips,, I think they are 145gr as I recall in the 357.. Federal 125's and the like, do seem to cause a lot of flame cutting of the top strap and throat erosion,,, on the model 19 and 66 they've caused a few cracked forcing cones.. they are hot, and all that powder is wanting to go somewhere and do something amazing in a hurry.. the 158's are just easier on your gun.. I also avoid a lot of fast double action, as that cylinder is big and very heavy,, it could cause you timing issues down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
