cheeseybacon 10 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm thinking about getting on the build list in June for an S-17 (I just got a nice tax refund and it is already starting to char my ass cheek). I noticed that both the 8-inch and 10-inch versions of the S-17 have the same length gas system. Is there a significant difference in reliability between the 8-inch vs. 10-inch guns with low-brass shit ammo? Also, sorta unrelated... I have a Tromix DIY trigger guard on my gun right now, and I really like the finish on it. Is the finish on the trigger guard the same Norrell Moly Resin finish that goes on the converted guns? I'm assuming it probably is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mellow 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I wish I knew how much accuracy a 8 inch loses compared to a 10 inch. I'm in the build list and it's getting close to decision time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrOneEyedBoh 14 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Tromix I think posted a nice list that pretty much stated that there isnt much difference in an 8-10" S-12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 There is very little velocity difference between the 8" and 10" guns. Reliability seems about the same, but you'll get more muzzle blast closer to your face with the 8" gun. The DIY trigger guards are Powder Coated. The guns are done with bake-on Moly Resin.
