Was idly checking Mischief Machine's website. Clicking through it looks like all of their 17-round sized grip modules in aluminum are available for purchase once more!
Oh, my aching wallet...
Getting there on the Flux build. Still working on tuning the comp, but it's such a fun platform.
Hey all! I finally got my Raider to the range to play with some Federal 124 round-nose ammo. I'm having trouble with spent casings not ejecting- often even failing to clear the breech, let alone stove piping.
The particulars of my build are as follows:
* Raider X 320 chassis
* Sig Sauer M18 slide
* Sig Sauer carry-size threaded barrel
* OEM RSA or Herrington Arms fluted RSA, captive version, 12lb spring
* 3d printed charging plate mounted with 6-40x8
7mm screws (as directed by the part designer)
* Strike Industries Linear Compensator (yes, I know, but it looks nice and keeps my light clean on my other optic).
I swapped my stock RSA for a Herrington Arms tuning kit that I have set up with a 12lb spring, and got the same result.
With the comp removed, the Raider runs like a dream. Previously, this same slide has run beautifully with the same grain ammunition, a Herrington Arms 320XL comp, and a Romeo 1 Pro optic on ordinary pistol frames.
Theoretical:
* The directed optic screws are too long, and are interfering with the extractor.
Practical:
* Next range trip I will attempt to run the Flux with the compensator installed and the charging plate removed. Fingerprints are optional.
Theoretical:
* The compensator is the issue.
Practical:
* Run the Flux with a different compensator
* Run the Flux with the SLC at a different length.
Theoretical:
* The charging handle cannot fit with the M18 LCI, and the opening created by the removed LCI stacks with the pressure reduction of a compensator to reduce ejection function/ slide travel
Practical:
* Next trip I will run the Flux both with and without the compensator installed with the charging plate removed so that I can reinstall the LCI.
Do you fine folks think I'm missing anything? What other troubleshooting steps would you suggest?
