Hi,
I had previously written about my experiences with Sekhmet, and I wanted to bring anyone who was interested up to date.
The Past: (previous post)
Just wanted to share my experience with the Sekhmet 28mm gauge and my HM1000x. I know from experience that analog gauges are not as accurate or robust as digital gauges (parallax, internal friction, inertia, hysteresis, etc) so I was excited to get my Sekhmet. After installation, I found two issues; one, there was a slight leak. Two, it froze. They provided me with a replacement, which had the updated firmware, and that has solved the freezing issue. However, the new gauge also leaked. I used the o-ring seal under the gauge body as suggested, but I couldn't get it to seal completely.
The damned nipple was too long!!! Upon removing the gauge and inspecting it, I found that the leading edge of the thread had stripped, and there was scratching on the receiver block where the v-block mounts. I did not over-tighten the gauge, so this is an engineering issue.
The present:
I waited several weeks to receive a “custom” gauge which had the nipple shortened. Using the provided o-ring under the gauge solved any leaking or fitment issues. The gauge has now been working perfectly for weeks.
Nicole Rae at Sekhmet said that they will be providing a shorted version of the gauge for rifles that require it.
Overall, I’m exceptionally pleased with the support I was provided. Problems occur. It’s how a company responds that makes the difference. Sekhmet and Nicole Rae demonstrated their commitment to excellent customer support.
