Could have just been overworked brass and a case head separeation. I'm going to guess that even an h&k isn't going to shrug off firing a live round after a squib.

Or go with the gold titanium nitride finish. Not the cheapest finish, but durable.

Asa competitive shooter, I'll chime in. Sight picture every single time. Yes, on very close targets the sight is the whole front of the gun and making sure it is covering the right part of the target, but sight picture always. Sometimes you screw up, and fail at it, but you can see pretty fast.

Not worth it. Pay for one with the forward assist and dust cover already installed. There is little to no savings in doing that part yourself. In fact it may cost you more if you have to buy it someplace else and ship it. It DEFINITELY does if you lose any parts during installation. It's also a PITA to get the roll pin in the FA and I hate messing with the spring on the dust cover.

No need to cancel, the match is off. I have yet to get all the stages in and don't have enough time to do the match prep plus get things squared away at home for the storm. Beyond that, all the models in the last 24 hours have it hitting earlier and earlier. NJ has officially declared a state of emergency as has PA. Sandy's tropical storm speed wind field is already about 10 degrees in diameter. Given the projected position as of 8am Sunday, most of NJ will be within this wind field. They are actually projecting this field to grow as it heads north, and are calling for 1-4" of rain across NJ before landfall. We are looking at wet, soggy, windy, and I don't know if I have rain bags or even sufficient targets (we basically ran dry last match). Once again. No match. I will be updating the web page and phone message as well.

Good lord my post sounded crack addled. Typing while being repeatedly interrupted is bad. Short sane version: It is headspaced when the extension is put on. The most you can do is verify that your bolt/barrel combo is within spec with a set of go/no-go gauges. If you are going to go that route, google for instructions on checking the headspace on an at-15. The process has some differences to doing a bolt gun.

Looking at reports, it looks like the storm center will be about 850 miles form us by match start, and that we will be seeing 1.25" of rainfall for the day and gusts to about 35mph. I have to go look at the pre-reg numbers, but if it is like last month, we already have about 7% attrition due to storm prep. Soggy targets and 35mph gusts do not go well together. At this point I'm inclined to make the call after the 2pm models are done tomorrow.

In general, no. A mil-spec bolt plus middle of the mil-spec head spacing will usually have enough slop to not worry. Head spacing relies on the barrel extension, barrel, and bolt. The mil spec bolts are pretty consistent, and they are barrel extension is set up against guages at the factory. That being said, if you are ordering a tight match barrel, and you are using a bolt that is not mil-spec, you may have some issues. Most of the folks who offer that tight a setup usually offer to sell it with the bolt it was head spaced with for a competitive price on the bolt. If you want to be extra certain, get a go and no-go set and make sure the go goes and the no-go doesn't.

The .45 baby eagle has a bit of a reputation for being problematic. The other calibers are fine.

Wow, just got what appears to be a major whoops of an email from rainier. It's supposed to be a sale flyer for a DD M4-V1. Instead it is a mass email fro dealers for their ambi charging handle. The basic content? MSRP $89.95, MAP $85.54, Dealer price $55. wonder how many it takes to get dealer pricing.

Try visitng some indoor ranges NOT located near tourist destinations where those visiting are basically begging to have their money vacuumed out of their wallet. Heck, even in vegas there are indoor ranges that look like poop compared to OB indoors, and OB is pretty no frills.

That's one of the things, when I started watching, it was sunday to tuesday. That'll narrow. I've already been forwarded 5 cancellations on pre-reg. The day is going to be short on light with the cloud cover, and I don't want ot be setting up and tearing down short staffed and with little in the way of shooters in the rain. I've done it before, it sucks.

I'm thinking those will be pretty expensive. Surgu is not cheap by weight or volume.

It's the official check the website and phone line early and often. Usually we make the call by 6:30am Sunday. I'm saying I'm saying I'll call it early if the forecast stays grim.

It's a monthly league match. If we don't do it this month, there's always next month. Regarding the weather, it is loking serious enough that I plan on making the call early and erring on the side of caution so folks can get their preparations done even if it isn't going to hit us until Tuesday.

The problem is it is also a great place to get bad recipies, mediocre recipies, 16 pages of nearly identical decent recipies that are absolutely not what you are looking for but share some ingredients with what you are. Etc. If I want to slog through 14 pages of broccoli soup it's great. If I want new ideas for broccoli as a vegetable side dish, their mechanism for searching kind of sucks. As do most of the large recipe sites.

Beyond pimping out little girls and taking bribes? The ONLY times they seem to be taken seriously are when the US military mobilizes on their behalf. I would argue that is not the UN being taken seriously.

What you fail to understand is the case was NOT made on the parts. It was made on the BATFE's definition of a machine gun and the fact that they pushed for, and got accepted by the court, a definition that does not account for malfunctions. Combine that with modern BS jury instructions, and a jury with no spine or motivation to enforce common sense, and you get a bad case.

He's still doing the collection of stages. I get to do everything else. In theory.

As far as I know, there is one stage collected so far. I'm not doing the collecting of stages.

Find me a person who thinks the UN can do anything more than pimp out juveniles in third world hell holes.

The UN can't effectively influence impoverished third world hell holes, why does everyone think they can make first world nations do something?

Yes, we'll be very short handed. Likely worse than last month.

Nicest ambi is the battle arms offering. Rainier arms makes a very nice ambi charging handle. The Troy ambi mag release is simple, works, and not too pricey.

I vote for a food subforum. I'm definitely interested in any veggie recipes. I'm in need of variety in my veggie prep.
