Shot my Mini-Fix SBR today for the first time after picking it up on Friday. Amazingly accurate, even more so with my hand loads. Even though I’m getting a free Thunderchicken through the promo, I’m gonna take your advice (we talked on the phone last week) and pick up the CGS Hyperion. By far, my favorite channel for all things that go bang on YT. Thank you ! Hey guys, support this great channel…

I really liked the weight and general feel of the Fix, but couldn't get past the gritty- almost sandy- feel to the bolt throw and operation of the action. For a couple of grand I have a bit higher expectation of refinement, so I took a pass on it. I'll be building my own bolt gun in 8.6 instead so I have no one to blame but my own shoddy skillset.

Since you brought up 9x39 and you have shot the krebs 9x39 (and well past its typical ranges), how would you compare the two cartridges? Both are prohibitively expensive for most non reloaders, but come in the high 200's in grain weight, with hard cast hitting the low 300's grs with the 9x39. Are you gaining anything with the slimmer bullet diameter and the longer case length?

@AlabamaArsenal 5 күн бұрын

That's a great question, first thing, that I didn't understand when I made the Krebs video is 9x39 isn't standardized. Basically the Tula and the Wolf loadings are different dimensionally and that leads to some problems. That being said I do feel that the 8.6 /338 does give you some serious advantages in the projectile department, whereas you are somewhat limited in 9mm/ 36 caliber rifle projectiles. I think currently, 8.6 has some significant advantages. That being said I would love to see 9x39 become standardized and see more loadings and components available. If everything were equal they would be very comparable, but currently they aren't. It would take some interest in the industry to get 9x39 on the right track in the USA and I'm not Sure that exists currently. It would be cool though, maybe someday. Thanks for watching!

I’m saving up to get one next month to take advantage of the free can extension from Q. Should I get the 8 inch or 12 inch? My main use is obviously subsonic but was wondering if you Alabama Arsenal see any purpose with 8.6 supers?

@AlabamaArsenal 5 күн бұрын

To be honest, I currently see no to little value in 8.6 supers, however I reserve the right to change my mind. If you saw our video on 8.6 barrel length there's very little difference between a 12" and an 8" so you may just want to go 8", but if you did ever want to shoot supers 12" should give you a little more velocity making it more versatile.

A friend of mine bought a Q Fix and it has never worked. Sent it back to Q and they said the hammer strike is too light because of their firing pin being too light. They have had the gun for months with no fix for it. I built mine with an 80% LR308 lower and a 12" barrel that I put in a .308 Bear Creek Arsenal upper. Works flawlessly on 12 grains 1680 with 300 grain .338 Lapua. I also had a fraction of the price of a Q FIX.
