Yeah I love em, and check this thread out

DPH on my S12< with folding mech and 1/2" shoulder rubber= perfect length & great sling attachments on the stock and folder! I love this arrangement because I can fold it for in home defense and easily maneuver thru tight quarters! especially since having the barrel shortened! heres the S12's : here's both: DPH on my SGL21-66 with ex. block and cheek riser. No folder and no pad on this one on purpose, Its the perfect length this way and its rock solid! - could use the stock as a back up weapon for sure! and here's the SGL's :

Hey, is it just me or does that just sound like fun?! especially FA with tons of drums and other "stuff"!!! but I thought the factory firing pins seemed inadequate to begin with and switched to the Tromix one, figured this way I've got the original as a spare.

I actually drilled two additional gas ports forming an X and later went back and opened all five up, and I'm still not over-gassed, actually it still wont cycle that $4.96 stuff, but it never fails with anything high brass, so cheapest for me right now is the $10.97 #4 federal high brass, and there's no damage to anything except what I point at Theres just so many factors but so many ways to tune and adjust and so many options of how to! ~wow I just had an I my S12 moment, big time!~ -V.V.H.-

edit to my post #2: to correct XPS-0 to XPS3-0 I just noticed and that woulda drove me crazy if i never fixed it

I've been using an XPS-0 on my SGL21 with a x3 magnifier but I've never got to shoot anywhere with enough distance that I could try the magnifier yet. But anyway its been running on the same energizer cr123a since I bought it, and I leave it on most of the time so the 4 hour timer shuts it off. So I wouldnt be concerned with battery life. However unless your shooting slugs max distance all the time I dont see any real usefulness for one on a shotgun, but I dont hunt or anything so idk, my S12 is HD and fun so "point and click" is sufficient.

I havent heard anything on these for a while, anybody been using one that can give a review? I also wondered if there was any projected ETA on the ambi-release version?

just my opinion: Winchesters are the worst and Federals the best

I couldnt duct tape it so that was the next logical step

One of mine came off once with loctite so I filled it with super glue and it hasn't budged since! That was on my S12, the one on my SGL hasn't required any more than the loctite. I gotta add that I love the things!

I've been considering options on this myself. I dont have a draco yet but I was thinking about a permanent suppressor just long enough to get the 16 so it would only cost one tax stamp. But Ive been trying to find out if 16" barrel integrally suppressed would be better than an added on suppressor? and if so maybe not even starting with a draco but shortening the gas tube either way. Your Drac is pretty sweet already, but I like the top pic but with a triangle folder instead! never tried one but how are under-folders? really hard to install one probly?

can you put up side by side pics? or at least specs

heres a good thread on that - here but Ive been using my Fenix (as seen on post #5 of that thread) for some time and I'm still lovin it big time!

Dude, that is crazy awesome! I was undecided on my next project but now I'm convinced! You did a fantastic job on that thing!!! You gotta put up a video of it firing in the dark!

I didnt like the AFG at first but I had trouble with VFG getting in the way of reloading. (especially with 40 rounders) I decided to wait and I find it is growing on me ie. feeling more comfortable and natural. I'm glad because I immediately liked the aesthetics of it-certainly not a priority just an added bonus. Only thing I dont like is that it takes my entire lower rail and theres nowhere for mounting a pressure switch. Overall a wonderful inovation and I'm looking forward to future models! As far as its positioning, its not like I had any choice but I dont think I would put it an

wow I just noticed this thread and Im lovin the engraving ideas!!! I'll be thinking on this more today but off the top of my head I'm thinkin: "just point and click" or "click click boom boom boom boom boom...........cont." and I saw a Homer Simpson quote I liked that said something like- "I feel powerful when holding this gun, like God ...if he were holding this gun" I liked Chilli's "Metal Masturbation" quote but I was thinking either "Metal up your ass" or " Ride the Lightning" Damn, these engraving ideas should all be in there own sticky thread!!!

A hard chromed bolt in an S12 is one of the few things I havent seen anyone have done yet,and I would really love to see one! So if you do please put up pics ASAP! Also mine kinda hangs up at like yours even after sanding and polishing but its only a problem with really light loads. I would still take some material off the bolt first before having it hard chromed though! edit: what kind of price tag would that chrome job have?

cool, that hit the spot! I'm not gonna start reading there right now though, or it'll be 7somethin AM all of a sudden!

I was wondering about that, I'd probly get far more use out of a pistol suppressor too! But if I get a Draco, it could share one with my SGL21, but I like the idea of permanently attaching one on a Draco to bring it to 16"! Like that idea alot! But now I'm also considering a PMR30 and it looks like a good candidate for a suppressor, more than my Glock even. Web searching isnt finding me any suppressor dealers or much info though. Seems pretty hush hush

Ive got more questions than answers now, so how long before they do run out on average and if its user serviceable can I replace just the worn parts? And can an integrated suppressor be user serviceable? I ask that because I was thinking put an integrated on a Draco to bring it to min rifle length so I could add a stock without having to get an SBR stamp, but since it starts life as a pistol idk how you change that to rifle? And I'm still trying to find dealers, only found one but they havent replied to my questions...

Love it! Makes me wanna give drawing mine a try!

Only thing I know about suppressors is I can get a stamp for one in Indiana but its not gonna be cheep. It will probly be some time before I can get one but Im trying to decide on which weapon to get it for? Ive found all the stuff to do the Glock but Im not finding anything for the SGL. Is there one that will work with the existing threads? It'd be crazy long though so Im leaning towards doin the Glock, but Id like to see whats available and the difference in costs. Also do they require alot of cleaning or maintenance, and do they wear out?

AZG , I dont know where what ur looking for is, but maybe you could direct me to a nice barrel clamp bipod for my 7.62 since youve already been looking all over? I dont use the cleaning rod so that doesnt matter, but I would need one kinda high for my 40 round mags. If/ when I start looking I'll keep an eye out for u tho!

well the thing is I hadnt changed anything since having the barrel shortened and it ran high brass great and low brass ok before(was just slightly under-gassed then and ejected poorly, but did) . So Im really just trying to replace the lost gas from the shortening and thats all. Ive done more polishing which Im sure doesnt hurt but hasnt helped, if I could get a reloading setup and make powerful stuff cheaply but it doesn't sound like thats any cheaper from what Ive heard? Once again I appreciate any and all input! But Im gonna stick with getting some precision measurements and posibly drill a
