VAGNONIRS 4 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I just bought aN Autoplug. For me ultimately the comparison goes like this V-Plug: Which type of shells an I using hmmm... ok now let me flip the gun and change the settings to the optimum choice... ok let me find the tool to rotate the seting. Autoplug: BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG Pretty self explanatory to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tokinshitload 12 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Get both. LOL Thats where I'm at. I like the v plug for reloading because it gives me a ballpark pressure reading, but once I finish working up a load I like the autoplug in the gun so I can grab and go!

headshot 52 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Run a V-Plug here. So you have to spend 10 seconds to adjust it. BFD. It's piece of mind knowing I can truly adjust and KNOW how much gas is being used. I don't have to worry about something shooting everything because it just let's a shit ton of gas in the system while claiming to be "auto". And since I haven't seen an scientific evidence to prove otherwise, that's all you guys who run the auto plug are doing. You can't run a mixed mag of ammo with the V-plug, like you can with the auto plug. Why would you use a mixed mag of ammo in any kind of non-range situation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
defcon 21 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 im still new but i got the Vplug because it came in as a package with the low reliability kit, low recoil spring and CSS puck i might consider the autoplug later on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How many of us have used their S12's at any place other then a range type situation? Range or non range, to be able to grab whatever mag is loaded with and know it will work. Never have to worry if you left the setting wrong for another type brass. Plus its fun as hell to throw a couple of high/ low brass in a mag when shooting with friends.

corbin 621 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I've got an Autoplug, a V-plug and a Gunfixr plug. Used them all. I have the Autoplug in my S12 now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
12GH34T 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 looks like the autoplug is winning so far (in votes at least) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Samal 18 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I have both - so far tried autoplug - after tuning, no FTE with everything I fed through the shotty - birdshot, slugs and buck - nice that no need to adjust, I tuned it used estate target loads - 1 1/8 7.5 shot. next time, I will try the MD plug since I will be shooting only low brass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bronc 0 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 For those running the Autoplug, do you have to loctite your setting in place so it doesnt back out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pigsmoker 5 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I got mine today. Installed and adjusted. Ate Wal-Mart $4.97 a box like it was Lays Potato Chips. And the MD drum work flawlessly also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FlameRed 4 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 After watching this poll and thread, I was looking for an improved plug even though I had one of the generic aftermarket three position plugs already. I converted my gun myself and after a lot of advice from this forum I had it working perfectly with the Wally World cheap low brass stuff - drilling out the three gas holes to .093 made it run reliably. Gunfixr was kind enough to work his magic (he is a true artist) and install his LRBHO mod. After that, the gun did not like the Wally World cheap stuff anymore. So I installed the AutoPlug and tuned it as per the video. Now it works perfectly with the cheap stuff too! Wonderful stuff! GunFixr LRBHO is 100% reliable and she dumps drums and mag as fast as I can pull the trigger. Cheap blasting at it finest! I am sold on the AutoPlug. I did note that the adjustment screw does seem to back itself out slightly, so I am going to try one of the methods mentioned in this thread to prevent that. Just got to tip my hat to GunFixr again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

docwade 3 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I run an autoplug in my 3gun saiga and I have a first run mdarms plug in my second. I like the auto plug, but your s12 needs to function already with low brass if your going to be running the cheap stuff. I do have to loctite the adjustment as it backs out about an 1/8 of a turn after a range session. Of course, that's not the only upgrade I'm running. The CSS puck has to be custom ground for length as the autoplug occupies more of the gas chamber resulting in the carrier being pushed back about 1/8" from complete closure.

Boomstick12 11 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Pops got an autoplug for his, and it is nice...I do like it, but I don't like having to worry about readjusting it after X amount of shooting. I really want to make the switch from the V plug, but not at the cost of worrying about re-adjusting it. Edited January 3, 2012 by Boomstick12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
