rjrivero 50 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 The plugs look great... Are we to assume that they will be in our mail boxes this week. (I'm in the top 20 BTW) Plugs are in the mail today and Monday cleaning up...... so I would say its safe to expect them next week ... Just in time for the www.mi3gun.com championship match......I hope I can get to the range to shake it down prior to the festivities Sunday! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there anything else you can tell me about shipping? Like maybe the dimesional size of the packaging or how long it took you mail the items? Because sometimes it's just not enough to know that everything has shipped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vtec16 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Just looked at the TAC 47 Auto Plug instructions, looks great. But wondering if the plugs that are being sent out are black or polished? Any response, Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PYRO 44 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 It might be just my eyes, or the way the photo was taken, but the plug in post 94 looks shorter (among other differences) then the plug in post 230. I am also curious about it's length,,,,,,I guess I'll find out in a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clifton 354 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 total length from the end of the Gas block is 3/4 inch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PYRO 44 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) total length from the end of the Gas block is 3/4 inch So, about 1.25" of open space in front of the gas block is needed thread it in. (?) Thank you Edited September 14, 2010 by PYRO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hobbyshooter 59 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Mine is here. Not sure if I'll be able to make it to the range until this weekend though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hobbyshooter 59 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) I know this is your thread, but I just got back from the range with my very low-gassed mid barrel braked S12. It wouldn't cycle Federal bulk pack with the auto gas plug. It did barely spit out about 3 out of the 30 I tried. It cycled a slugger fine, but wouldn't cycle Remington bulk pack or a low recoil S&B slug (no surprise there, it wouldn't cycle either of those before). So my initial tests show it doesn't improve cycling over a gunfixer on setting 3. I guess I need to try tightening the autoplug valve spring pre-load screw.

one2za 7 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Mine came today! Whoopie! I checked out the online instructions. Two questions: 1. What is "the wrench" they refer to, and B. There are no cleaning instructions or disassembly instructions. It's gotta be cleaned sometime, no? And I don't want to unscrew that center screw and have springs and small parts go flying. So, cleaning instructions please? (Or did I miss them?) P.S. Love the little mailing tube. Nice touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bridis 319 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 The instructions say that it won't improve cycling. Furthermore I don't think this plug should be looked at like some sort of miracle part. Nobody should expect this thing to make your gun shoot ammo that it wouldn't shoot before. It's only suppose to enable your gun to shoot ammo without having to adjust a valve. My gun will cycle Federal Low Brass on gunfixer setting three. I've never fired Winchester or Remington low brass before. The only time I'll have an issue is if this thing won't cycle the ammo that my gunfixer/factory plug does or it allows my bolt to beat the shit out of the Trunnion while firing reasonably powered slugs.

Paladin 37 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I received my plug today, I'll test on Sunday. My S12 has no cycling problems, never did. I put the Gunfixer plug in to ease switching from shot to slug. Hoping this elliminates the issue altogether. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bridis 319 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I look forward to your results. I plan to do some extensive testing this Sunday as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My gun would run Federal bulk pack on gunfixer setting 3. It became unreliable with the auto gas plug. I wasn't expecting better performance, I was simply hoping for equal performance without the need to switch to 2 for slugs. I did tighten down the screw on the auto gas plug per the instructions after the first 2 FTEs with maybe only a slight improvement. I'm not dissing the auto gas plug, and I'm not some goofbat that just flew in here expecting the ability to sprinkle fix it dust in the gas system. My gun is low-gassed and I know it. After all; I did it. I'm just throwing this up as a comparison. Low gassed gun cycles federal bulk pack with Gunfixer on setting 3, but does not cycle federal bulk with the Auto gas plug out of the box.
