JB Designs OMEGA Valve Mod. 2 MKII

OK, new MCX Spear LT 9" 300 BLK build/owner.....
....all complete/mod but need guidance on Mod 2 MKII.
I am on the email wait-list for MKII but wanted to post.
I have/use Q Blind Tiger on this setup and run Freedom HUSH 220gr Subs.
The stock MCX gas "-" settings works sometimes and the "+" 100% with this ammo/setup....
....but the latter clearly too strong and gassy.
Waiting on SilcencerCo GDCH to re-stock too....has good gas reduction success on my MPX using it.
For MPX the combo of 20% stronger springs + GDCH worked w/ stock barrel + OEM gas plug.
I know my MCX 9 (no way add stronger recoil springs) will need more adjustable gas block.
....so led me to Mod 2. MKII.
My post is How-To on it......

  1. How to install ?
  2. What are the port hole sizes for each setting ?

I ask because for MKII (300BLK) is seems on surface the reduced 3-position is only adding the OFF for me ?
I wrote down prior that MCX is (-) 0.0450 & "+" 0.0620 ....not sure accurate but in my notes.
My desire for use of MKII is gas blow-back reduction/tuning, not cycling.
Mod. 2 MKII (300BLK) is a departure from its Mod. 2 predecessors. Instead of four positions

  • Supersonic, high pressure ammo
  • Subsonic, low pressure ammo
  • OFF
  1. What setting to start/try ?
  2. What jet screw comes with it and/or what jet screw should I order as alternate ...if you can expand on how jet screw works would be appreciated too...
  3. Should I buy gas ring to help ?

Thx in advance.....want to do some ready while I wait 😫 for re-stocking......

Regards.

Bolt 308 Recommendations ?

OK, toying with getting bolt, probably 308 Winchester. I have MPX 9mm & MCX 300BLK so figure this is my next toy to advance.

Anyway, bolt recommendations ?
Have read about Luger variants but also kicking around idea of Tikka, Bergara, Q.

DIY Gripping, Rail Modes, etc.

Was asked at range about my MPX & MCX builds.
I do not like crappy/useless stuff BUT not going pay silly prices for basic items.
So, honestly came up with better/easy DIY.

For Picatinny you can use these type ladders.
I personally like black no matter what the firearm color is....
Rail Ladder

For other grips I hate the texture and screws and $$$ for typical rail scales.
So, you can use these....
Rail Scale Snap-ins

Lastly, to top off you can buy this tape and cut to length to put on any/all above and/or just put on sections of HG that has none of these.
Grip Tape

Bottom line, very clean (looks sharp), cheap, light, and customizable.
Also...when, not if, you change things on build up.....e.g. Hand Stop, HG, etc.....you can easily pull and re-config these.....

Hope helps other DIYers....

Front Vertical Grip Options ?

I have new MCX Spear LT 300BLK 9" build that I am completing.
Been going round-n-round on front grip/stops/etc......and have landed on wanting a front vertical grip.
I DO have one but too large for my liking.
I do not require 100% vertical but need/want be able grab/grip with left hand for "vertical" front HD/Barrel support.

Been searching online but wanted to throw this inquiry out......what does Forum folks have/use ?
Please post name + link ....and if you have a pic of your build with it would be great !
...does not have to be MCX but you get idea...

Thx !

OK, long time MPX 9mm guy with Mods.....BUT BRAND NEW.....

TUCKED CAN ?........some Heat thoughts.......

Well, I think it is REALLY cool looking but I am not a fan of tucking a CAN.
Lets face it.....tucking a CAN is very tight fit inside HG....
I read this which got me testing/thinking......PEW Science Article
Sooooooooo......being the hypocrite (LOL), and after bunch testing at range/configs,
......I determined MPX 9mm ~OK.....a larger caliber......NFW.

So, I bottomed out on using this for my Tucked MPX 9mm.... Heat Tape
What I do is pull HG off & cut this tape/foil to HG length and adhere inside HG.
The thickness covers bottom and about 2/3 up the sides....leaving top HG holes open.
I then used rail scales on outside of the HG.
The combo really mitigated the CAN-to-HG transfer.....helps a lot !!!!

This is SUPER easy to do.....so hope helps others.
