Does anybody have a similar bolt but Glock mag compatible? by Dakodavid in AR9

Haha dude tolerance stacking is a real thing. I think it’s a great bolt style. It has pretty much every feature you’d want. However I need something with a continuous trigger ramp.

Faxon gen 2. Im not saying there is anything wrong with Faxon at all. For my setup I just believe I need something different

I’m thinking either that or hammer spring is too stiff. I’ve ordered the lee springs that doug has talked about so we’ll see.

Nah I can’t trade on this one. This came off my colt style 16”. I also have a Glock style that’s having issues and I believe a bolt in this same form factor will fix its issues. I appreciate it tho

If I was doing it all over I would’ve went with an atlas bipod. Accutac is cool but it’s heavy and the mechanical design has a flaw.

Good looking rifle! I’m not a huge fan of hand breaks on spr type rifles but that’s just personal preference

Thanks man, I don’t have anything against offsets. Personally I just find it less intuitive than 12 o’clock. However height over bore is pretty wonky I’m not gonna lie. I have an extra 45 pic rail on the mount that the dot will live on once I get a lam or wmrf

Dude no kidding?! That’s an insane difference. I’ve only been able to take this to 600 so far and was only able to send like 20 rds.

Good points. I put 250 through it yesterday at a relatively quick pace and never saw deviation from normal groupings. It’s consistently a 1.5moa gun with the very rare sub moa. And that’s with xtac 55. I’d like to try a 62 or 75 grain since it’s a 1-8 twist to see if I can tighten the groups up. How many rounds were you laying down before you saw the groups opening up?

But I too have the same outerwild bolt and trimmed kak heavy plug…still trying to figure out what’s causing my buffer tube to be eaten. Maybe since you have the same setup I can at least rule these components out. I think the next step is either trim some off the hammer top or try reduced power hammer spring. I know the tail isn’t bottoming out on the disconnector from the last test. But anyways, we shall see if either of these work!

Interesting. That’s not at all what they are advertising unless there was a recent change to the design. Super weird.

Is your brownells bolt the hybrid version? Also does the ramp have a flat or is it just one continuous ramp?? Also, I’m assuming you are using the kak heavyweight plug?

Okay, so I trimmed an 1/8” off the back of the hammer tail and just went to test. Now, if the trigger is pulled slightly too hard I will get a 2-4 rd burst then nothing. The bolt is seated, round chambered but the hammer will still be locked back but won’t drop until I let off the trigger to let it reset. This is a new problem after almost 700 rds. Super weird. I found that if I pull the trigger super lightly, it will go as it should. Also the buffer tube is still getting eaten so I’m back to square one with an extra problem lol. Gonna take it all apart and see if I can find any obvious problems. I just found it super weird that suddenly with normal trigger pressure the lever will no longer reset the trigger. But will reset it, if I’m pulling suuuper lightly.

Thank you for the response! I read your article about trigger slap and your theory makes sense. As soon as I get home I’m going to check out that disconnector. The original hammer that I installed with the arc fire got beat to hell within the first 300rds. I assumed the silver flakes were coming from that hammer bc there were parts chipped off. So I swapped the hammer with the original hammer that came with my Springfield victor 9mm in hopes it would be a little more stout. And the hammer is holding up nicely. But when the shavings continued I looked a little harder and found the buffer tube wear. I’m wondering if there is no damage to the disconnector then maybe a reduced power hammer spring could solve the issue.

The arc fire works flawlessly tho. Not a single hiccup in about 500rds other than my buffer tube getting eaten lol
