OTB Holes

Pic of the OTB Holes for anyone who was wondering

I just checked the one I got from Midway a couple months ago and it does have the holes. I didn't know they were on the bottom on the adjuster selection points. I'm used to the HK style holes on the rear of the tube. Thanks for the picture

I have one with the four holes in the rear, but what appears to be the front hole at first glance is actually only a dimple. Tough to tell in the pic as its shadowed, but is that definitely a drilled hole?

Thanks for confirming!

@TheSogster FYI there is also a hole at the very end of the tube, in addition to the ones in the adjustment slots.

What color Sprinco is everyone running with these H3 buffers? 300BLK specifically?

Also is there anymore info on the 12.5 guns? I remember reading about it some pages back but can’t find it now.

Can't speak on Sprinco, but I've been using the standard Noveske Carbine Spring/H3 in my 300blk nearing 700-800ish rounds zero issues.
First 500ish mix of subs/supers unsuppressed. The rest of the round count mix of suppressed subs/supers.

ETA: I did have some failure to feeds with Unsuppressed Underwood 220gr in colder environments, but I attribute that to how slow the round is. I'm willing to bet if I had it suppressed it would have functioned.


Eta2:
More Beaver carnage.

Got a shipping notification on my backordered Complete Gen III upper from Optics Planet.

Obviously it's not clone correct out of the box, so I have some work to do as far as swapping out parts, but at least I finally have something to work with now...

Using a Springco white based on Alan from springco recommendation.

I can tell you that no combination of buffer weight and spring will run the 201gr ME unsuppressed, Not that you'd ever want to. Figured id save someone the time and expensive ammo.

If any clone homies have a lead on a Gen 3 stripped upper let me know. Last piece of the puzzle for the .300 trying to take some whitetail with this build in a couple of months.

Forgive me, I'm a little slow...and late to the party. What color is this? Im having trouble finding it.

Edit: is it just straight up FDE Cerakote?

H265 cerakote. Mix ratio is between 10:1 and 14:1 depending on how glossy you want it.

could be the flash, but the cerakote also looks a little flatter. Wish they would just take a page out of Geissele's book and sell us the clone.

Looks like it to me too. Possibly take down pins.
G trigger, so safe to assume SSF
The standard Noveske parts kits I have been taking a beating from sweat and humidity in my area.

Cool pic.

I wonder if the castle nut is a recent change. I think the picture is taken with flash because if we look at the previous pic from inside the teams, they don't look nitrided.

Also to note, that the magwell protector looks pristine, mine already has marking/silver showing through from the ejector port door opening. More evidence that the actual guns hold up better to wear for some unknown reason.

It was mentioned by TC earlier in the thread.
The wear goes back to how cerakote is being applied. Blasting all the way to aluminum will do that.  I'm still a firm believer the actual Dev guns have cerakote over ano.

Several have mentioned previously that it is an H3.  I'm currently running an H2 but don't have my suppressor yet, so that may change.

Picked up another stripped B line upper for $330 and a Sandman S for $750 so I guess I’m doing a 300 blackout build. Who makes a good brasss deflector protector?

Yeah. Just enough to etch the surface.

that's probably in line with the real guns, we just haven't seen many in the field (not sim and not shot with a Nokia brick phone) I think Beardedorygunner on instagram was one of the first to clone the gun, or perhaps he had a legit coated from Noveske but his wear is similar. Seems like the .300 is just harsher on the brass deflector.
