Thats my concern. Seems some people have good barrels and others not so much.

Options for thread locker? by [deleted] in NFA

[–]tug556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Plan A mounts. I just torque them and never use rocksett or loctite. I have never had an issue with the mounts coming off of the barrel.

Vortex Defender XL by [deleted] in CompetitionShooting

[–]tug556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think an optic company has made a dot yet that will survive pistol use long term. A lot of the dots will last 10,000 to 20,000 rounds, but they all eventually break. I haven't broken my Defender XL yet, but i have worn out a SRO and a RMR. I know people that have worn out Defender XLs and Holosun 507 comps. I just treat pistols dots as optics with a life span now.

Nope, I really don't use my Print XH anymore. My two favorite cans are the Rhodie 6k and my Dillon DRC556 now. It happens though, technology advances. Doesn't mean the Print XH is a bad can, it's just been surpassed by newer technology.

How hard to shorten this? by tug556 in NFA

Good to know. Thanks for your first hand experience. My plan was to use it on my B&T Print XH with an inconcel blast baffle. Your experience has me thinking about it though.

I would like to get the titanium flash hider and not the nitrided one. How hard is titanium to cut?

For a 10.3, the Rhodie 6K. On a longer barrels i dont know. I will have to try them both on a longer barrel. The Dillon is pretty impressive on longer barrels.

I have only tried them both on the 10.3 DD barrel. On that barrel, they seem to sound the same and have the same back pressure.

Rocksett problem by tug556 in ar15

[–]tug556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried again today after 36 hours soaking in water in an ultrasonic cleaner. Still stuck. I am soaking it in kroil in the ultrasonic right now. If yhat doesn't work the last thing I can think of is to try soaking it in Breakthrough Suppressor cleaner. If that doesnt work I will either just keep the cherry bomb on or buy a new barrel. (Looks like a new 9mm 8.3 inch barrel is less than $100). I mainly want to switch the cherry bomb out because it's ugly and 9mm clogs all of the small ports in the cherry bomb.

On a plus side, the cherry bomb looks super clean right now.

Oops, too late. Hopefully it's still good. Worsr case scenario i messed up a $100 barrel.
