Gonna try the VQ replacement trigger group; pricey but wont be my first $$ trigger upgrade. Got a deal delivered for $234 from Optics Planet; might be a few weeks still backordered [preorder] but want to see how good this carbine can be. Punches out the bullseye at 50 yards with my red dot and...

Good advice above or you can get an inexpensive in-lb torque wrench from amazon, harbor freight or auto parts stores. Even with a torque wrench you need to get the gap even all around by eye before tightening. This style will be fine...

Broke it the PC 9mm at 50 yards yesterday; zeroed the red dot and shot ~80 rounds. 100% with 3 different ammo types including WW white box bulk and 2 Missouri bullet coated handloads using WW231. All 124 grains. Nice tight groups off sandbags; tried some offhand as well and was able to keep...

Research the forend tensioning systems - you can buy a drop in or do your own like I did. Drill and tap the hanger bar for a set screw to adjust forend tension. I can cloverleaf at 100 yards with my 45-70 using hot loads. Most of the accuracy upgrades are in the forend; 2 piece stocks are...

You need a magnifier :lol: Just kidding - sometimes you get lucky.

I own probably 15 Rugers, best value out there but polishing out machining marks is not their forte. I own probably 25 semiautomatics with feed ramps and virtually all of them had machining marks on the ramp. An H&K .45 filled the ramp grooves with copper before I smoothed it out so it's not...

Mine is a 90s vintage but did not shoot 150s at all. Wrong twist. Hornady makes a nice 123 gr soft point .310 perfect for the Russian cartridge. H322 is ideal.

Unpacked my 9mm carbine, cleaned and fit the takedown adjustment. Noticed the feed ramp had a LOT of machining grooves on it so I used the Cratex points to smooth that out, removed a sharp burr on the right edge of the ramp area also. I own many Ruger guns and would not hesitate to buy more...

My 17+2 [19] OEM mags are gen 4 compatible for right side mag release, those are the most likely for carbine use. Thanks for your input - will probability buy a few Magpul versions as extras.

Depending on what / how you are using the new PCC 9mm carbine what capacity / length magazine do you prefer? I have everything from [Glock] 10 - 12 - 15 - 17 - 19 - 33 factory mags; just curious if folks find issues with snagging / feeding / reloading etc with one version vs another. Apart...

Did you need to trim the mag well insert itself? Flashing around the edges, at die parting lines etc? Picking mine up this week; I'll take a look at the magwell out of the gun.

FedEx delivered to my FFL today; I have a 30mm UltraDot ready to mount with standard Weaver rings. Only need a screwdriver to remove but might upgrade to lever lock Warne QD rings in the future. In the middle of our pistol league now so it may be a couple weeks before I can give it a good test...

Thanks for the tip on the rail - I like 'scout' mount dots but plan to leave rear peep in place for iron sight use as well. My 10/22 takedown has no trouble with return to zero; expect similar with PCC. I am leaning toward a 30mm UltraDot with QD rings. My Cmore is on a .22 handgun and has a...

Just took the plunge and ordered my 9mm PCC carbine. I have a pretty good assortment of spare optics; wondered what folks like on their carbine - standard red dot, holosight, etc ? Only thing I ruled out is a standard scope.

8-32, as always go super slow and back off frequently to break off the chips. That's not real hard steel, should be pretty straightforward.
