I got my l-10 average up to 77.something, which is the highest I've been. Gotta decide if I want to shoot production again or stick with l-10.

The first time he tries to clear it, it looks like a failure to eject or a double feed. Later in the video it looks like there are several instances of operator error, probably from stress and assuming everything going on is related to the initial failure. It looks like he is trying to clear a jam when the bcg is locked back. It looks like gravity is the only thing making the charging handle go forward. As for failure, I'm guessing bum mag or bum ejector for number one possibility. Number two possibility is him being a victim of logistics. They have had issues with ammo stored in direct sunlight too long getting too hot and having the powder get wonky and increased pressure from the rounds. One of the main issues stemming from that have been primers backing out or getting blown out of the brass. It's possible he cleared it like a double feed, but the foreign objects gumming things up were spent primers. Which might explain the locked back bcg at the end might have locked it back so he could try getting them out of his trigger group. Only way to really know is to ask the guy in the video.

This isn't IDPA, it's USPSA. You can reload whenever you want to as long as you reload when required to during a classifier. Virginia count means that there are a specified number of shots and hits. Lets say a course is 6 targets, 2 hits each, 12 shots. You shoot 13. one penalty. You shoot 14... 2 penalties. If you go score, and for your 14 shots, there are 13 hits.. 3 penalties. Only 12 hits for your 14 shots, 2 penalties. extra shot is -10, extra hit is -10. If you aren't a USPSA member, the classifier match isn't for you as space is limited, and the scores couldn't eb filed for you anyway.

classifiers are all sorts of lengths. 6, 12, 18, and 24 are very common round counts for VC classifiers. Given what classifiers will fit indoors, 100 rounds should be more than enough, even if you need a reshoot. Technically, I believe they could fit 3 18s and a 24, but probably won't.

Uhh.. to buy online it has to go to an FFL. If it doesn't, it is ALREADY an illegal sale that is banned. How will re-banning something already banned help? How will banning something that has nothing to do with the other thing help?

That's going to cost you more than $750k.

It's a stupid gun. Two rounds of a fairly slow moving, low pressure round designed to function in a 5" barrel, jammed through VERY short barrels that have porting pretty much right up to the bullet. I'm guessing a muzzle velocity that will barley make a paintball look envious.

It did. This afternoon I just looked at l-10 and figured I ahd a very meh day.

Yeah, how hard is their lead? Because if you shoot soft lead, you are going to have issues. Shoot really hard lead, and you probably won't. Shoot either in small quantities with some jacketed in between, you might not have issues either. Stating that lead is just dandy in polygonal barrels isn't smart. You have to know what you are doing, whihc is why they tell joe newbie to not do it. Also, yes, baby eagles have polygonal barrels. At least mine and the ones I have seen do. As does the desert eagle.

Woot. Finished 3rd overall. I think that is my highest overall to date.

By 7:30, spaces should be opening up in the parking deck by the train station. If youw ant to park on the street? It's thursday night in a college town without enough parking, what do you think?

Caught on enough that a bunch of manufacturers make uppers and it is now a SAAMI spec cartridge.

carbines made by putting a stock on a pistol were a BATFE gray area until recently when they finally made up their minds about it. SO as long as you put a 16" barrel on it when you put the stock on it, it's legal as far as they are concerned and hasn't become a rifle or SBR for all time. I don't see why that would be illegal in NJ.

It's not for no reason. Their QC is spotty, some of their engineering choices have sucked, and they are overpriced given those two factors. Can you get a good one? yes. Are the odds of getting one that needs some TLC under warrant near zero? No. Is their CS good? they are middle of the road. I can get theri tactical pro model for $1295 street price. I can get the sig tac ops which is similar for $929, if I wanted a series 80 1911. For the same price I cna choose form a number of quality .45s with better QC or better customer service.

Here's my take. I absolutely would not get a 6.5 grendel as my first AR. The load data for it form AA is pretty much wrong. Almost nobody is seeing the velocities they claim with their listed loads, and on top of that, the pressures their loads generate cause premature bolt wear in an AR. In a bolt action, people are seeing good performance by loading the cartridge pretty hot. The brass is strong. At least if you buy the lapua brass. The soft wolf brass is blowing out in the bolt guns at those pressures. AA's own ammo is a nice little storyboard of their bad load data vs. reality. They used to sell ammo with more bullet choices. It's narrowed, due to pressure issues is my guess why, and on top of that they claim the same muzzle velocity as before, BUT... and it's a big but, that velocity used to be out of a 16" barrel. Now it is out of a 26". The claims of .308 performance in a smaller cartridge are BS. You have a bullet with a nice high BC, but it will be moving pretty slowly and have a rainbow like trajectory. The high BC means it will buck wind more, but the slower velocities mean it is exposed to wind longer. The net result is you get an under performing 6.5 cartridge that is pricey. Unless you want to jump into reloading and pay $80 per hundred for your brass, It's not a cartridge for you. If you want something accurate out to a few hundred yards, there are plenty of premium 75gr match cartridges for .223/5.56 that will let you do that pretty well.

Not going. Recently made A class, so not much point given I have zero time to practice. If I lucked into an m card, that would suck. So figured I'd leave a slot for someone who'd find it more useful.

If you make an electronic version, getting it on amazon for kindle, and B&N for nook is not a terribly hard process.

Unfortunately, you aren't allowed to hunt them there. I've been of the opinion we need a sword and bat season for those locations.

Watching your vids after Vlad bought them to my attention, you got a major problem. I GUARANTEE you that if you don't do something about your technique, you will be firing a round out of the range or shooting a hole in the ceiling of an indoor range sometime real soon. All it is going to take is one mag that sticks a little bit and you smack it to get it in a bit too hard. It's also not just you, there were several folks with trigger finger issues. Get those fingers out and up, not just out a little bit. Get your finger out and up. for 1911/2011 guns, I recommend that you just make a habit of getting your trigger finger on the nubbin of the slide stop that pokes out. It's a convenient physical reference that works for most people. I do not recommend resting the finger on the trigger guard as that is jsut a problem waiting to happen. If a 1911 is too big a grip for you, there's the cheap and expensive fixes. Neither is super pricey. Cheaper version: Get a set of eagle ergo grips, and an extended mag catch. Dilon ahs a decent cheap extended mag catch and carries the ergo grip . http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/24992/catid/17/Greider_Competition_Extended_Magazine_Catch_Precision_Blue http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/23833/catid/18/Ergo_Grip__Black Less cheap version: Get a set of slim grip bushings, slim grip screws, and the thinnest micarta grips you can find. (I have a set that are like a 1/3 the thickness of standard wood grips. ) Also get a flat MSH if you don't have one, and an extended mag catch.

A big thanks to the guys who helped out in the morning. It was mostly faces I haven't seen before, and despite setup being relatively easy, most of the stages were done early because of the help. It makes a huge difference in how smoothly things go when folks aren't just hanging out by their cars, but lending a hand in the pits.

They gouge the civilian market. If you place large institutional orders you don't get gouged. However lots of small departments do not do procurement in that manner, and aimpoint was losing business in that market to slightly cheaper competition. So they came out with the pro, but tell their sellers to restrict sales so they can continue to gouge the civilian market.

the smith & wesson forum has a stickied post on sigma trigger jobs. There's not much you can do to make the trigger lighter without it being unreliable. IIRC you cna smooth it up and go form like 12lb to 10lbs and tht's about it.

September and October were messed up by nationals. USPSA doesn't update classifiers until after nationals are done. I'm thinking things aren't going so smoothly, because although we might be a bit late, and I zeroed my October classifier at CJ, I should have a score form OB posted, and it's not there. USPSA being what they are, if the update didn't happen mid November, it won't update again until mid December, even if everything is sorted out.

You have to pass the test to become an RO. Then you have to take the refresher test each year to maintain you RO-ness.

There's a very real reason why it is not an issue here. It won't help the gun grabbers. It will only expose discrimination and favoritism by the government.
