Funny story on the older Ergo grips. I purchased one a while back to clone the FDNY gun. Then I recently pulled out an old spikes 11.5 I used to beat on back before I got into clones. Low and behold it had an old style Ergo grip on it. I actually had one and never knew. So now I have 2.
I have been back and forth about going with a labradar. It is much les cumbersom than Magnettospeed. But... the missed shots and complicated set up have me just sticking with the magnettospeed. Pistol loads are a different story but I really do not chrono those much. I crank out blaster 9mm on my RL1100 and rarel change anything. If the Labradar just woked a touch better.....maybe. Your experience with it is what I have read and heard a lot but then there are some that I think have extensive experience with it that it works very well for. Dont think I am quite there. ![]() For the page |

Get the inertial trigger so you don’t have to worry about getting missed readings while suppressed, or it’s windy, or you’re at a public range near another shooter. Once you figure out what stand you want to use it on you just set it up the same for every rifle and then you’re good to go. Oh, and you can’t shoot it, which is a plus ![]() |

Guys with the gen 2 handguard is your collar tight against your forearm? If so how many ft/lb is your barrel nut tightened to? Mine is tightened to 40 ft/lb like the PRI site says but the holes in the collar to fit the gas tube through arent lining up with the opening in the upper. I can loosen it a little to get everything lined up bit then the collar isnt tight against the forearm and the only thing that is keeping everythng in place and rigid is the top rail.
