Omega BP's

[smokepolehall]

So is the vent liners the only ignition source people use ? I was looking at the DI system over on Jeff Hankin's shop on BP's. Is there any place that does quality vent liners. I used those black ones n they went south in 30 shots or so.

I have a Variflame in mine, but it’s not smokeless.

Mine is not smokeless either, just the very basic Z5 model.

DI is something I would NOT have. But that's me.

Is there a reason other than personal ?

There's no significant improvement to DI, unless one wants maybe 50fps more velocity. More of a PITA for hunting than any other ignition. Imagine setting in a tree stand and having to pull out a nut driver to replace a dummy with a live DI. Then dropping the tool. You're screwed. Speaking of replacement, how about transportation???? You either have to fire the rifle, or risk removing the DI module, loosing propellant and having to install a dummy to meet transport laws.
Need a second shot???? Good luck with that timing. How about loading on a primed rifle????

They can tout it all they want, but I'd go back to a #11 before DI.

I spect that covers a good view.

The Woodman adjustable 209 plug with replaceable bushings is perfect. No need to use anything else. As Encore says, DI would be a pain in the as$ to hunt with.

Agreed with above. Ive got a DI setup for an Accura and its a PITA. Not bad at a bench, 100% blow by(blowback) free. Nothing leaks past it. But other than that it isn’t really worth it. ASG has an Omega/Encore plug that takes the brass modules and PR Bullets has a couple different Omega setups. VariFlame2 plug and a plug that takes .25acp(?) primed cases. Ive got both but the regular 209 plug modified for vent liners is my favorite hands down.

Who makes good vent liners ?

So what is the going price on that BP ?

ASG, Badger Ridge, PRBullets, or Lehigh SSK all sell the vent liners.

Definitely can't go wrong with the WOODMAN
