gas plugs

[captainchemical 11]

Hi. I'm new to the forum and my S12. Lots of info here which is great. Here goes with the first of probably many quesions: What are the differences between the V-plug (5 position) and the Gunfixers (4 position) gas plugs?

There you go, you stated the main difference right there. The V-plug will allow slightly more precise control with its extra setting. Both plugs work great and are trusted by many people, you will be happy with whichever one you get.

I too am interested in the Gunfixers gas plug, any suggestions on where one can be purchased? CSS is out of stock currently :-(

If your gun already cycles low brass out of the box. I'd look at the TAC47 auto plug. I had great experience with it. Took about 1 full turn to tune to my gun and it works great. I have a lot of 8 round mag dumps with mixed federal birdshot, slug and buck. No issues. There is a video on YouTube how to tune it.

The only after market plug I have experience with is the MD Arms V-Plug and next to converting the gun it was the best thing I have done for it.

I have a MD V Plug and the lighter recoil spring and I can shoot low brass Meg-a-low-Mart Federal (and hopefully the Winchester stuff too...)

 

 

However ... the TAC47 auto plug really does interest me.

 

The MD-V plug is working so I will just keep playing with it till I feel comfortable with the settings and what they do or don't do.

 

 

Maybe if I could try one, or look at a blueprint so I know how it works. Does it need to be cleaned? Chance of failure? Can anything in it break.. Moving parts?
