The last of my mod parts just arrived.
I installed the HB industries muzzle brake. Super easy. 
I next installed the KNS precision Inc. waffle bolt handle. It is easy too. Just field strip, slide the bolt handle to the circle cut out. Pull out the old one and slide in the new. Done. It makes the world of difference to my large fingers. 
The hardest one to install, but not really that difficult is the HBI extended bolt stop. You field strip like normal, then punch out the captive front pin. Pull the old stop and replace it with the new stop. Don’t lose the captive spring. Using a hammer then tap the pin back into its captive position and then reassemble. 
It works great and makes trigger finger manipulation easy. |

What are you using for a light? I'm thinking Hailey Strategic Thorntail2 mounted to the top rail, just behind front sight. The other option on my mind was a Gear Sector Scout mounted in the same location.

I just shot mine for the first time today. It’s a rainy day, so I shot indoors 25 yards. My heart sunk when I was dialing the Romeo 5 in. First three shots ever and all failure to feed. I put that mag off to the side and resumed with several other 20 and 30 rounders. All worked flawlessly with no more events until I put the first malfunctioning mag back in and same thing. So perfect functioning Stribog with Fiocchi 115 fmjs. The bad mag looks like the follower is not moving right. I might take it apart, sand it down and dry lube to see what happens. I’m very happy with this little gun.

I had an amazing day shooting my Stribog for the 1st time. The Holosun HE508T-GR made placing rounds on top of rounds within 50' too easy. I picked up my rate of fire between 21'-35' and put a decent hole in the target continually increasing speed. I'm glad they didnt throw me out but I did get warned about 5 times to slow it down, "No Rapid fire", from the staff at Bulls Eye in Tacoma, Washington. All in all I put 420rds of Federal Black Pack 115gr FMJ down the tube with no hiccups and 100rds of Remington UMC 115gr JHP with about 5-6 failures to feed which I believe to be caused by bullet incompatibility for several reason; ¹The less rounded flat bullet shape of the lower quality JHP which created a friction point at the feed ramp while attempting to chamber and ²The lack of casing strength especially when fired at speed with increased forces from the direct blowback will slam the case into the feed ramp sometimes causing the bullet to seat deeper in the case creating higher pressures. ³Causing the round to not chamber but head upwards causing FTF & FTE.
Overall it is a dream to shoot.  Failed To Load Title  Failed To Load Title My Target after several strings. |

One thing that stood out for me from Shot Show is that B&T submitted their new 10mm gun to the ATF last year and got approved right before Shot so a turnaround of less than 1 year. Meanwhile the Stribog A3 was submitted 2 years ago and still nothing... Talk about a double standard!

Jaro just posted this up on FB. A package from HB Industries was waiting for him when he got back to Slovakia from SHOT. He liked the stock they sent so much, he put it on his personal weapon:
It really does look great, even though it folds in the "wrong" direction.
ETA: It is HBI's adaptor with a Magpul Zhukov stock. |

No need to cry about it. Times change and new things are brought to market. No need to cry about it. If you like the new options, buy some of those too. No need to feel entitled and complain because you are upset you bought what was available in the past and now there are new options.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tranzformer: Because this comes across as entitlement. So you are upset about having a bunch of NIW magazines that may or may not have issues. But you don't know because you haven't even used them yet. In addition you are upset that you bought magazines when you bought them because you wanted a stash, but now that new options are available you are upset that you have the original magazines? Not sure why you are so upset you bought the original magazines since you bought those wanting more magazines. Just be happy more options are available. Buy some of those too. No need to get all upset and emotional because new options are coming to market. That is to be expected and good news for a gun platform that is becoming more popular. The fact this needs explaining and your failure to grasp this simple concept blows my mind. Or you're intentionally trying to derail this thread.

But are the all plastic magazines having issues outside of the isolated occurrences posted on the web?
Several post on the internet doesnt necessarily indicate a widespread issue with the magazines. I'm all for the steel lipped magazines. It just seems oftentimes on the internet some of these issues are actually overblown in our isolated incidences that are just repeat posted. |

https://i.ibb.co/hdf9HQ3/signal-2020-01-10-071917-01-01-01.jpg This is where I saw that. That design solution makes no sense; a slip on reinforcement is unlikely to fit closely enough to really bolster the mag, and I fail to see how there is enough room around or above the mag inside the gun for even a .020" gage piece of metal to wrap around without interfering with the magwell or bolt. At the very least the sleeve should be glued on under pressure, or something. And if it can slip on, that means it's not very rigid and therefore won't carry much of the load that is apparently exceeding the feed lips' strength.
What am I missing, here? |
