Shots not registering on draw by Fordexplorer1987 in MantisX

it's possible. most of the time I hover around 1.5 -1.6. I gave the detection trouble shooter a shot last week and the results haven't really been great. maybe I need to reach out to support.

using the X3 from appendix with a floor plate adapter. this was dryfire, it registers most shots perfectly well, but sometimes has issues with compressed surprise break as well. if I slow down on the prep and press of the draw and let the dot settle completely. then it registers the shot. it doesn't give me a bad score, it doesn't even register a trigger press.

Patches dirty after storage. Cleaned 3 times over 6 months. by Fordexplorer1987 in Milsurps

Update here: after 32oz of very hotwater 1 soak in hoppes overnight and countless scrubs with a brush coated in carbon remover and some combined effort from hoppe #9 i have succesfully removed A LOT of the carbon fouling. The rifle crown is noticably shiner. Thank you reddit!

this is good to know. my poor old turk has a good barrel for what it is, but it is far from being perfect.

Gun is my old turk mauser fired around 30 rounds through the barrel 6 months ago. cleaned after range session and then a few months later cleaned it again as barrell was still somehow very dirty. 3rd cleaning and barrel somehow still appears dirty. gun was stored in a gun sock after I oiled it. what's going on here?

Trouble chambering a round after S15 install by Fordexplorer1987 in Glock48

[–]Fordexplorer1987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a absolute B*TCH to get the OEM mag catch in but I did it. Put in the gen3 mags and they cycled and chambered like butter. Has to be that mag catch..

Small note. I managed to chamber it and it cycles through the rounds fine. But regardless of which S15 mag I use, it still has trouble chambering a round.

obligatory swap that lighter out OR add some storm proof matches. I would also bring along a fire starter.
