I’m thinking about getting one but the hammer spring adjustment looks to to be a major PITA on the tactical version. If the entire buffer tube and butt stock assembly is removed, it appears that the access to the hammer spring is pretty easy. I’m assuming I could just undo the castle nut to get the tube and stock off. Correct? Or, if the buttstock itself is removed from the tube, would an extra long hex wrench be able to get through the tube and into the adjustment screw? I want to do some tuning work on the rifle and I like the looks of the tactical but the classic has a much easier hammer spring adjustment path.

We sell adjustment tools that don’t require any stock disassembly if you are using the OEM hammer spring. It’s an offset belt driven hex tool that fits down into the rifle and allows for adjustment without removing any parts. I just got more inventory in today for them and will be listing more tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply! I have seen the tool and it looks pretty good. A straight handled hex wrench would make it easier yet. I could see an L shaped wrench hitting a scope - maybe. I‘ve pretty well convinced myself that just getting the entire buttstock off via the removal of the buffer tube would get me access to the adjustment. From what I’ve seen so far, it appears that the tuning of the hammer spring can require just minor tweaks in or out for the best results. Going in thru the hole left by the buffer tube removal would give a really clean access to the adjustment. The gun would then be just rested to get the chrony numbers and when the right place was found, button it back up and test for accuracy. Of course, no plan meets the enemy and holds together so to speak, so my plan here may not be optimal for testing. In which case, you’ll probably see an order for your tool!

Yes, the L shaped tool only allows for about a 1/4 turn at a time. It can be done like that with the right size Allen key but it is a little tedious. You can also use the approach you mention with tuning and leaving it partially disassembled during. I love the rifle, but the hammer spring access and the vertical height of the chassis are a little off putting. The saber tactical chassis addresses the bulky chassis and makes it look much nicer IMO. I’m working on a new chassis that incorporates an arca rail instead of the pic rail and also slims it down quite a bit.

My original plan was to get the classic synthetic and the Saber chassis (agreed that it makes for a much, much improved look for the rifle!) but the chassis is pretty pricey. I'd love to see an alternative so make sure when you get yours done that you splash it all over so we don't miss it! Get some Mloks on the sides of the front end so you can mount the Mlok bipods!

Yeah, sounds good. We are on pyramyd air so whatever we come up with will also be listed over there.
