jtallen83 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) A question about a muzzle device to tame the blast from my PM 400 has got me thinking The Noveske flaming pig I have is said to create more back pressure, does this mean I'll have to change buffers for a heavier one?Most of the reading I've done are cases when an AR pistol needed one to gain pressure and help it function, not my issue at all.So far this "pistol" has not missed a beat, I sure don't want to mess that up. I don't want it to start beating itself up either....Any suggestions or first hand experience? ????? My wife bought the pig for me as a Christmas gift so I'd like to use it, don't want her to stop getting me cool stuff for my guns you know!

Robocop1051 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 If you just want it for the look, take out the cone baffle. No more back pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I want a review on that PM400. I was very tempted to grab one recently. I'm currently leaning towards the LWRCi PSD instead. I get a rockin deal through my dept distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The PM400 has been boringly reliable, never a glitch in over 1,000 rounds or so. 2 moa at 100 yards with a red dot, about 6 moa at 200 yards with irons. I went 400 rounds without cleaning it, no issues I just couldn't stand leaving it dirty anymore. If you want the "pistol brace" extended some then it needs tape or a hose clamp to keep it from creeping forward from recoil. A tad loud but maybe the flaming pig will help redirect the blast some. I'm going to mount a scope for the next range trip so I'll see just what kind of group I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 JT, I've got a KX3 on a 7.5" barreled 5.56 pistol - I'll check what buffer I have in there, but I'm pretty sure it's just a standard buffer. Shoots fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Wow, took me 5 months to find the answer... Spike's T2 in the 7.5" pistol, and H buffer in the 11.5 pistol. Keep in mind, both those buffers are working with the extra weight of the added bolt carrier adapter of the Law Tac Folding Stock Adapter. That thing is made of steel, and it's got some weight to it, also. I think you could easily run the H3 buffer in a 7.5" pistol with the KX3 on the end of it. Worth a shot.

jtallen83 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks, I've got a T2 in my Spikes/Armalite rifle right now. I think I'll get a T3 and see if the pistol likes it or the T2. Guess I should figure out what Sig put in there to start with........... Any suggestion on springs? Stick with the stock springs or try one of those "heavy" springs that get hyped up by the sellers? I finally found a guy here in Mississippi that will swap the flash hiders for me. Two in a row declined the work saying the factory bird cage was "too hard to get off"???? I tried again myself but my portable Stanley aluminum vise isn't up to the task, tears up the table and bends the mounting bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Heat is your friend & use Barrel vice blocks with some type of non-marring non-slip material . I use a piece of leather . Vice blocks should be as close to the Muzzle device as possible . And you do need a good vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Armory Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) You need a REAL vice...Two piece barrel clamp fits in the jaws of the vise is the ticket ! Also a heat gun and ... PB Blaster ! A really big F#cking Cresent wrench helps a lot too.

jtallen83 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 You need a REAL vice... And a good permanent place to mount it! Constantly moving has it's downsides......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtallen83 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Got the Flaming Pig installed along with a Spikes T2 buffer, works great. No function issues with 45, 55, 62, or 77 grain pills. I've got a T3 buffer on the way that I hope to try next weekend, just to see how smooth it can be. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I use a standard buffer along with the "pig" brake with my 7.5" shorty. And she runs just fine. Had her out yesterday just to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 It ran ok on the standard factory buffer but it felt a little smoother with the heavier buffer in. I also noticed the ejection pattern changed a bit, from an erratic 2-3 o'clock to around 4 o'clock with the brass in a tighter pile, less bending for my wrecked back is a welcome bonus. If the T3 buffer is to heavy then I'll just have to get an upper in a bigger caliber so I can use it ::) can't let a good part just sit around you know............

98Z5V Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Any suggestion on springs? Stick with the stock springs or try one of those "heavy" springs that get hyped up by the sellers? I run Armalite springs in everything except for two rifles - I just don't know what that rifle-length spring was. In one other particular rifle, I wore out the Armalite spring, and replaced it with a Sprinco "Blue" carbine spring.

jtallen83 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 The T3 buffer from spikes worked fine in my PM400. Shot 55 to 77 grain loads without a glitch <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
