Laugo Alien Day 1 Cut Short

[@hdickmann1]

I shoot the alien creator 500 since September. I ran about 3000 rounds through it. There is not a head problem. A friend of mine and me we shoot three mags (a 15 rounds) through the alien and a sig 320. Both guns were hot. But it was no problem at all. From the beginning I shot my handloads through the alien. FMJ 124gr - OAL 28,5 mm - 4,2 gr RS 24. The gun runs perfect and puts me on a new level in IPSC. The only issue I had was a grip problem: as a right handed shooter, do not but your thumb to high on the slight. You will get a feeding malfunction. But when you know it, it is no problem. Thanks for the video and all the best from Germany

Here’s a tip so you dont waste time at your next range trip with the Alien. Deep clean the gas chamber with copper and lead remover. You need to use hot FMJ ammo. S&B, WWB, Federal American Eagle, Magtech, PPU, PMC are jacketed bullets. There are a lot of plated ammo that is labeled as FMJ and the plating will come off and deposit lead and copper in the gas chamber which then locks up the piston. Blazer Brass, Federal Champion, Supervel are plated but labeled as FMJ and will lockup the gun. Fiocchi is jacketed but is not hot enough to cycle it.

I have this same problem. I have exceeded the 400 round break in and still have it not get through 3 full mags. It does get hot but the gas tube is the biggest problem.

have you tried different ammo?

Jim, Did the gun heat up at all? I’ve heard they get hot, may have been nonsense.
