Matt, at any match, I would easily say 50% of all the top guns are STI guns or STI frames. Match guns at great prices. I have shot HuntingPaper's STI in a 45, and it was a joy, and I could hardly believe the price tag on it. Best bang for the buck.

Are you looking for a gun with historical significance? Match gun? Single shot bolt or magazine? tube? Are you going to scope it or shoot irons? Kimber 22lr Government models from CMP are top notch and come with match iron sights.

Here is a thread I found on 1911forum. http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=282406 Seems like first issue is front sight falling off.

trying to find reviews from guys who use and abuse 1911's, ie competitive shooters, however in the mean time, if you like the look of the Remington R1, I would also consider the new Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911. It is built by BUL in Israel, and was designed around shooter's specs. Was to be imported by KBI/CD, however Magnum Research came in and stole the deal. The gun is a great value, terrific fit and finish. BUL worldwide, also makes terrific race and competitive guns. Great quality. Only thing is if you can get over the "Desert Eagle" on the slide. but on a sidenote... I have seen a few STI Spartans... cant go wrong.

Bob, glad you made it. I think you did very well for the first time out.

So the question for the first timers.... will you be back?

Results are up. http://www.obcats.com/ not kidding you.

welcome to the forum.

woaaa, leave the door right open there for blasting comments. =) but I am glad you had fun playing with guys. jk Was great... a bit more serious of an event, however did enjoy 2 more stages than usual.

We had this discussion in chat yesterday. $500 is too much, and I know it would be dropped down. Ideally, like FL or other states... up to $150 a year, with a training requirement. Other annual requirements though, I dont really support beyond basic NRA training.

happens.... Saturday coming up... Shongum. Much more beginner friendly course...

happy birthday sir!

welcome!

Was a pleasure to see everyone, had a great time. Jimmy so sorry to hear about your DQ. Details? what stage was it? I feel bad we didnt catch up beforehand to be squaded together. Vinnie, sucks that you and Michael had to leave early... yes, OB is 7 stages. Mike was a pleasure to catch up. Iggy, was a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to the rimfire matches. Great to have shot with you guys, Ronnie, Marlon, Tony, Will, Bob, and of course Luis. Ronnie, thanks for the pointers. =) They worked. Vinnie, you can upload up to 32mb files here, or just throw the rest on youtube and link here. Was a bonus to hang out with and seeing JJ shoot... wow.

This is absolutely a first step and shows the politicians are aware of the impeding lawsuits.

I am surprised for 300 win mag. Why not just go 338 lapua? Or ammo costs still?

How is the stock trigger on the DD lpk? I bought the SSA as per your recommendation, but the stock one looks not bad...

Next saturday is Shongum I believe... and hopefully an extra rifle stage.

What kind of primers does it use and who makes dies for it?

Those all seem like the older first gen models. then there was also talk if the 556 would be discontinued as Sig has the 516, also a gas piston but is an AR.

looks awesome! woot woot.

Here ray... because you asked.

I like the Sig 556 rifles. They are a great piston based firearm. Some of the early ones had a few issues and quirks, such as a bolt knob that stuck up and was incompatible with most red dots such as eotechs. they are picky with ammo, at least mine was, and would only shoot brass cased ammo. Take standard AR mags. It is a good price for them. Only thing to realize now... they are heavy, and a bit front heavy. Rear sight is not an actual sight, but rather a backup flipup.... but it is there. Best bet is to drop in an optic, or a backup sight. Hope that helps.

dont know. I like it alot.... worst case.. just change the foam pad for $4.

the stock is on....
