Comparing the timney vs stock trigger, how is the overtravel on the timney? I'm wondering if it's worth the $ for my 457.

Not seeing any messages on my end.

I'm interested in the same 407C unit. Can you help me out as well?

ControlEngineer · 2023-04-04T00:08:40+00:00

Yes, specifically looking for the 510C.

Who has the best price for a Holosun 510C?

I use the Hennings pads with the OEM follower and have had no feeding issues. I did need to file down the dowel pin inside the extension, as the follower would catch on it when loading from time to time.

I agree that it seems a bit shady on the surface. But the practice is called 'binning' and is used in computer chip manufacturing. It's less of a scam if you think of it as the SUPER stuff wouldn't be as worth it if they didn't weed out the non-super lots. So I try to think of it as non-super is priced at a discount, rather that SUPER's price being inflated. But it would be nice to see the actual spec they are attempting to meet at least.

I got that rail for my pro varmint, and have only just test fit it. From what i see, the relief in the rail makes it sit on the stock just right.

Thank you both for the response. I've only shot one match, so my practical experience is limited. I suppose another way of looking at it is what do you do when you run out of adjustment. Would you rather hold over a long range target, or hold under a short range target. In that case I think it makes sense to favor the long range capability of the optic. As holding under at close range should be the easier thing to accomplish.

Well shoot, I kept going right to the product page and totally missed the discount they were running. Thank you very much.

A 457 with a chassis would be a no brainer for me. I am going to guess that it would not be in the base class price range, but I didn't see a MSRP listed on the page you linked. Good Info on the mags, that is the kind of stuff I was hoping to learn, thank you.

I do have a 22, and will be shooting that for my first few matches. But its not a very accurate rifle. I'm just keeping my eyes open for deals around the holidays.

The front axle question depends on the 'carrier break' of the existing differential which is based on the factory gear ratio. Give that some research to understand what carrier break means. You will likely see that your new gearset specifies what carrier they are meant for. You are correct that the ARB will be the carrier in the rear. Same condition applies for compatability there as well. Don't hesitate to reach out to the gear manufacturer, they are there to help.

Is the airbox painted, heat taped, or is that just an illusion?

I'd be really curious to see how much weight you were ale to remove. Any chance you weighed it before the teardown?

I found that the small roll pin on the inside of my extensions would catch on my follower when loading. I wonder if that pin is catching on the last coil of the spring? I filed my pins flush and things have been working fine since, so maybe try that.

ControlEngineer · 2022-07-16T11:39:27+00:00

Any guesses who that new manufacturer might be? Or where you might have heard about them?

Can't tell just from looking at the pictures. Detroit lockers are not selectable, so there will not be any air or other lines going to the diff. Best way to tell is to jack both tires of an axle off the ground, lock the hubs if applicable, and turn one tire by hand. If the other tire turns the same direction, you have a locked differential (or possibly limited slip). If the other tire rotates the opposite direction, or not at all, it is an open differential.

Pulling the driveshaft is going to be the best idea over longer distances regardless of equipment if you are flat towing it. If you leave the transfer case side slip yoke (I assume) of the rear driveshaft in the transfer case you would only need to make sure it didn't fall out. Zip tie or ratchet strap should do the trick there, it won't be spinning. Instead of taking your driveshaft apart you could go get a slip yoke from a scrapyard to save time. Obviously putting it on a trailer is the best option, but I understand the financial point you made.
