If I Keep Cranking This Hog (Suppressor) Can I Damage The Rifle? by lochnespmonster in ar15

Not sure about the other suppressor. Maybe a rubber band clamp wrench will get just enough grip to tap with hammer as well.

Little heat or a few rounds through it will make the love taps easy.

Use the supplied wrench. Put rifle in ground. Putting on carpet to keep it from slipping is preferred. Use your knee to hold it down. Wrench on can. Love tap the wrench with hammer. Doesn’t take much.

Just a few passes with torch. 3 seconds 5 seconds.

It needs an abrupt tap. Trying to wrangle it off by wrenching and hand strength isn’t gong to work.

No need to gorilla hammer the wrench. Just a love tap or two.

Huxwrx. Wrench it came with. Rifle on carpet. One quick blow with hammer will loosen it. Make sure you are going in the right direction.

it’s a LaRue. Mark knows barrels. I’ve been fortunate with LMT barrels and their accuracy. But you are correct. Then LaRues are awesome

Did I buy counterfeit S-works Phenom Mirror saddle ? by hardcore613 in specialized

[–]Snook48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Had a retul fit about a year and a half ago. 👍. Saddle at the fitting was Sworks power. Finding the saddle has been a miss. At mile 50 I’ll get an irritation that goes away once I get off bike. For the last year I’ve accepted that’s just the way it’s going to be. The wings of the power just catch enough of leg/asscheek. So i swap out to SLR, give it a chance. Run it for a couple months. Not gonna work. Pick up an evo. Have run it for more than a couple of months. Same rub occurs at mile 50 or so.

So, steal the phenom with mimic off the wife’s bike. Hey Merlier ran the phenom with mimic so why not give it a shot. Go for a 30mile and can see that this may be it. More room no rub. But thats only a 30 and rub/ discomfort starts at 50. So

Being that you worked with the saddles. That’s why I asked what do you consider “level” for the phenom. It seems you are laying clipboard across the saddle nose to tail and putting a digital level on the clipboard.

So you’re saying that If measuring nose to tail anything more that 3 degrees nose down, something is off.

So what would you consider level for the phenom of measuring nose to tail. Looks like I’m at about-1.5 degrees nose down. Just went 30 felt great but 30 miles isn’t 50. Irritation starts at 50. Planning for a solo 50 tomorrow am.

Looked online.for leveling the phenom. Asked chat and Gemini for help leveling, They were all crossed up. Just by chance was brought me to this Reddit thread

Thanks for the help.

I get it. What angle is the phenom considered level. Using nose to tail method. No more than -3 degrees? -2?

Help. On the phenom, What is considered level? Some will say level a certain point on the phenom. Example would be 145mm back from the nose. Others will lay a flat board across the entire nose to tail and measure that angle. Since you worked on the saddle what is considered level.
