    Is HBN worth the effort or is it snake oil?

    Ultimatum Deadline pictures

    I have a Deadline in an XLR Element chassis. The chassis needed to be relieved for the trigger hanger and the mag catch trimmed. No feed issues thus far. Definitely not Plug-n-Play.

    Primer ignition issue: spring tension or firing pin protrusion?
