I love how light that gun is. With the Ruger reliability, that thing will be an awesome Steel challenge gun. Good luck with it Tony.

Nick, count me in for a trip!

LMAO

You have to compress the mainspring housing ever so slightly to get the hole perfectly aligned all teh way through, then the pin will tap in much easier. The MSH is under load from the mainspring about 1/16" past the point of perfect alignment of the holes so just grab the frame in your hand, put the MSH against the table surface and start the pin in the hole with your fingers and it will go in about halfway until it hits the detent. From there it is now aligned and held steady from the pin and you can lay the frame flat and tap it the rest of the way through with a hammer and punch.

I think it would be even more useful for your spotting scope. Whether you're shooting with irons or optics, getting out of your position and taking off your glasses to go hunch over a spotting scope is a PITA. This would certainly be a more convenient way to view your targets. Not to mention the weird ergonomics if having to back off your head from the phone if you mount it to your riflescope. Generally scoped guns are set up to put our head naturally where it wants to be to fall in line with the eye relief... more or less. Now you have to hold the rifle all weird and stuff to see whats going on.

Notice how that shell just falls right off the extractor at around 0:39? that's really poor extractor tension which is less than optimal and can lead to very erratic ejection. I prefer to have the extractor tension on my 22's to be such that the shell is held tight to the bolt face until it strikes the ejector. This ensures ejection is done by the ejector itself and is consistent and spent shells will flow steadily out of the gun in a line all day long. The extractor does not actually extract the shell during firing in a blowback 22, it essentially extracts itself due to pressure and the extractor more or less stabilizes this action until its ejected.

OH SNAP!

NEVAR! Besides, i dont think my trigger finger is capable of moving those long double action distances. what is that, like 3 feet of trigger pull or something? Call me when Ruger makes an auto-revolver in 22lr. And make it magazine fed. And make it hold more than 10 rounds. And then make it a pistol and call it a Mark 4. And then i'm in.

Beware the OBHamster! He'll out-22 you every time.

Its actually EASY to pick the one you need when you clearly define your intentions for the gun. Duty? Plinker? Benchrest? 3-gun? Jack of all trades? For instance, the SDE and S3G are on totally different ends of the spectrum and you wouldn't generally cross shop them for the same application.

Pleasure doing business with you! I wish all transactions were this easy.

Ok, i'm convinced. I defer to the almighty McHamster who rules the 1 second roost! Shooting it in a natural position is definitely a disadvantage as there's too much gross movement for such a tight stage arrangement. The key here is that, since the targets are all clustered in a tight group, you need to reduce your overall gross movements as much as possible, especially from the low ready start where the largest single movement is and Alec certainly knew the secret there. Getting hunched over the gun McHamster style allows you to snap from from low ready ultra quick and that alone cuts off enough to drop you the sub 1-second zone consistently. In my video, i was shooting naturally and could do consistent 1.0's, but only luck out with an occasional sub 1. Once i adopted Alec's stance, i was consistently under too (although the camera was conveniently put away for that run ).

For the draw and fir badge, you only need to print out and bring the results. If there were no actual printed results for the match (like some of the smaller events), then you would need a note from the match director saying you participated but for steel and USPSA, printouts are just fine.

Lawrence, Upload it anyways and we'll take a look at it and give you some pointers. Mostly we'll just point and laugh, but we'll try to be helpful too. BTW, if you do get that bolt and it still gives you fits, i've seen on arfcom where people will use jbweld to fill in a stock charging handle as an inexpensive way to replicate the CMMG plastic handle. If you still have issues, we can try my bolt and your chamber adapter.

Hey bubbie, lets get to uploading then, yah?

Scores are up! Quite a few njgf members took top honors today In the form of Top stage times and overall class win. Congrats to all! http://www.centraljerseysteel.com/results/cjstl0912r.pdf

And Mike, don't speak too soon, scores aren't published yet.

1700? Damn, Sanford and sons knows how to party! LOL

Ok, well, bring an extra towel to bite into then, the first time is the hardest! When Mike asks you to shift for him, remember he drives an automatic. Bazinga!

Alec, its good that you're hitching a ride with mike. He keeps plenty of kleenex in the car for the post match tears. He's also an olympic class hugger so when you're feeling down on that long ride back home, just let it happen buddy.

See, i told you so!

Oh if the Gringo is going, than i'm definitely going! I need someone to beat so i don't come in dead last!

I have 2 SD3G's and a SDE and love them all. I agree with everything the above posters have said, Geissele's are the bees knees. BTW, the next person to post is a dummy.

Whoops, i suppose i misread that. you wrote AR30 308 and i instantly thought AR10 semi in 308. lol

N320 will work fine for 45, however, clays just does it better and cheaper, thats all.
