I didn't see anything posted on this but has anyone heard of imports being denied already? I have heard this from two different importer. One is very credible to me and I have no reason to not believe the other. Anybody heard any of this? Supposedly the only guns coming in are because the paperwork was approved before the study and that everyone that had submitted after the study has been denied on the 12. If this is true it appears we are already screwed... I have a couple emails out to see if others have had the same happen to them. The Russian's also started a bidding war from what

I picked up a couple of these. Yes, you can't release with mag still in. The mechanism isn't sturdy enough to push the follow down. I was highly disappointed in this. If you watch as you push the tab you will see the arm flexing instead. The old Warfield Armory one would push the follower down no problem and was not half the size of the factory arm (with my bolt release). Down fall to the WFA was it operated of the side of the follower on a very small tolerance and these gun vary too much in the area. That and you could only use modified mags. It appears Cadiz's design has them both be

I had strong reservations on the price at $35. I did feel it was too much... I am dropping the price to $25 right now. We will issue a refund to everyone that bought one from us and comp CSS and Makc. Yes, We just added it yesterday. CSS bought a few of them about a month ago and so did Makc. Last I looked Makc hadn't listed them yet either. Wanted to stop in here and mention listing it but worked too late and was just too tired... Wanted to mention we are making some cheap limited use anvils for DIY guys. We are considering offering heat treated ones as well. It might be awhil

If you want to see some crazy drama you should check out the thread on the AZ forum link on page 2 of this thread. I tried and tried to explain the difference but KA and his allies just wouldn't read. I keep showing them where they were wrong even so. Finally got locked. I couldn't believe the blind stubbornness! What a bunch of tools!

It my pre-ffl days it wasn't uncommon while bump firing to pull the trigger too fast. The hammer would hit the safety on the bolt carrier. What ever you call that it... But you should test the disconnector.

I'm just anal about some things and want to see how lean I can run her. I don't run much cheap ammo (smells like shat) Just don't want to beat my gun up bad running all those heavy loads. I think I'll pick one up and try it out. View the V-plug on our site. There are some very good pics comparing the same gas block with a V-Plug and 2 different factory plugs. You will see a major difference.

Agreed, but if your gun is cycling low brass on setting 1 of the factory plug, it's not gonna hurt your gun. I would have gotten an MD Arms plug if I had known about it. I got a Gunfixers gas plug in a CSS reliability kit. Agreed, it's unlikely the low brass will hurt. I would worry about high brass though.

I am thinking the pressure is marginally differnt with the Booster as it is so fast of a pressure build. That the benifits from the Booster are because there is less weight to push meaning slightly faster velocity from the same PSI. Also more of this energy is now carried in the bolt carrier than before because of the pistons lighter weight. Once the piston reaches the limits of it's travel all energy stored in it is lost in the gas block. The heavier the piston the more energy is lost. With the Booster 2/3 of that previosly lost energy is now stored in the bolt carrier and isn't lost whe

Have you tried any 3" slugs or turkey rounds? If the buck did that they will likely be worst. That is still surprising from a factory 8.

I don't really see a need if there are no issues and the SS one should be fine.

Do you know the exact 3" shells you were using? Also out of what mag did this happen?

I know some think the over gassing thing is just a tool to sell new gas plugs and that the problem doesn't exist but I definitly does exist. Just because a magazine is keeping up with the gun doesn't mean the over gassing isn't there either. But if it does out feed the gun epsiecially with a stick mag it is pretty apperant the conditions exisits. My guess is your factory plug bottoms out just short of reaching the 1 setting, right? If so it means by backing out to come back to the 1 setting is opening up you gas ports way too much. You can view the difference from the pics on the V-Plug p

Thanks for the report! Very glad it worked as you expected it to! Do you do any posting on the AZ forum? Thanks again!

If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't release that puck either. Too many people who don't need it would buy it and wreck their gun, or have something come apart and cause an injury. I wouldn't want to be responsible for it, and I imagine he doesn't either. I think he could offer it if he was able to have the gun in his hands and make sure that it wouldn't be a liability, but even then someone could take it out and sell it to some idiot. I think not releasing something like that is probably best for everyone. I'm sure most people can gather the concept of this super piston and modify on

well if you actually think the twister puck keeps it cleaner than I will not even bother with your puck, they sent me all three pucks and guess what my little shorty would not cycle with any of them and worse than that after just a hundred rounds it was all gummed up. the factory puck was cleaner than theirs and ran a bit better and the ka puck I have works flawless and I can run hundreds of rounds without having to clean it. Oh man... You mean a guy that wasn't going to buy a Booster piston isn't going to buy a Booster piston? Now I'm worried... Yeah, you should keep using your KA that

I only said the stay clean claims of the KA were not existent in my tests. The KA does slightly increase cycling power. I just don't think the increase is anything close to brag about as increased reliability. It is just too small and most won't see much benifit at all. Also I designed the Booster primarily for those new out of box guns with trouble. It should make the very most of these out of box guns that have ejection problems from the shoulder with the factory piston be able to fire the same stuff from the hip with the Booster. In my opinion there isn't a better show of improvemen

I closed the test offer but since you have a KA and still have fte's I am going to make you the last to receive a Booster for free to test. Please PM me your shipping info. You are going to see first hand the major difference between the Booster and the KA!

Thanks for the report back! I am glad you now have a reliable gun from all firing positions! Thanks again!

Sorry, I don't think ware will be an issue. I might have close to a couple thousand rounds on one sample and it is completely fine with no signs past rub marks which the factory get as well. Also if it ever does ware out just send it back and we will replace it with a new one. I really don't think that will be an issue though. My thought is if someone fire enough rounds on one to ware it out I'd love to see the end result and they deserve a new one! I just saw where you said the rear ring had a spot on it. This was expected on some guns as well. If you look into your empty gas bl

My thought is if someone fire enough rounds on one to ware it out I'd love to see the end result and they deserve a new one! Yes, Some will do this. The finish blistered slightly on the back in the center of the piston. You will find that it will not spread

Yes, Everything you said is exactly right! Everyone should note our stainless piston is comparable to the KA. Like I said too the increase in both the KA and our stainless are slight. The margin of difference between them and the factory is very small so any difference between the KA and MD Arms Stainless is going to be even smaller than that. ... the Booster is in a whole new class.

I haven't seen the CSS one yet. I need to check it out.

Thanks for a quick report! I was 99.95% sure you would be very satisfied at that the difference would be VERY appearent! Thanks again!
