E.H. Salomon's in Farmingdale might carry birds and shot. He caters his retail a lot to the reloading business and i've only purchased powder/primers from them but they are also an on-sight, real-deal automatic trap range so he might carry those sorts of things. Apparently they even sell guns there but you'd hardly know it because they don't keep the majority of them readily on display.

Contact tony357 here on the forum, he makes target stands and had an attachment for the top of 1x2's that will mount big steel swinger plates.

For anyone looking to add an extension on their benelli pump, Whats cool about this +2 for the supernova is that its more like a +2.5. The stock tube will hold 4 2 3/4" shells easily and you can feel that there's a little room but not enough for an entire shell. Adding this tube should have made it 6 total but since its a little longer than that, it now holds 7, however, there's no more leeway. I guess with 3" shells its back down to 6 then but for 3-gun, i don't care about 3" shells.

Iron sights are just a simple mechanical alignment so unless you're flinching hard every time, it could be some misalignment issue with your rifle. HAve you tried shooting off a bench rest to eliminate you as the culprit? Barring any issues with your shooting, what are the specs of your rifle? A-frame front sight or matching MBUS on a quad rail or railed gas block? If the latter, perhaps the front is "off" due to the quad rail or gas block being off-center or canted. Some free float rail systems simple screw onto a threaded barrel nut that you clock and lock. Clamp on gas blocks have no inherent alignment mechanism and can be easily misaligned when installed.

I finally got a chance to put my Nordic +2 on my Benelli. She fits 7 rounds of 2 3/4" shells with ease now.

If you're going the route of a dedicated lower, Double Diamond makes one model for Colt mags and one model for Glock mags. Being able to use glock mags opens up your possibilities for mags since you can use 15-round G19 mags. Its about the same money as the CMMG too. http://www.shop.doublediamondsupply.com/AR15-Glock-Mag-Lower-Receiver-DDARGL.htm

Sorry, too late.

I have a SWEET STI 9mm 1911 that i will sell you, and only you, for $1 dollar bucks. *** *** Offer expires yesterday.

Registered.

The problem with a colt style 9mm ar will be the mags. Expensive, high capacity and not much variety. Its also probably not the best to use a polymer lower with a blowback upper. They tend to have more violent recoil shock to the buffer system and could shear off the receiver extension mount.

I'm scorched. Good match though, i liked that dueling tree. So much so i want one of my own! Those skinny little pepper poppers for the rifles crack me up though. What are they? 1/100 scale? They must be only an inch wide. lol

Ok, guess I go too.

Yeah, I hear that happens when you get older.

Bummer. I just saw a youtube vid of a similar event and the guy was having to double and triple tap to coax over even just the smaller plates. The larger ones might have well just been static steel.

I'm certainly gonna try. Remember, i'm shooting 60 y/o ammo through my rifle; its mystery enough as to whether its gonna even fire or extract every time it pull the trigger. I'd be curious to know if a 22 rifle would have the cojones enough to knock over the plates. I'd like to use my 10/22 one of these days so i dont have to spend an hour cleaning up after shooting all that corrosive ammo.

Correct, 9mm and 45acp are pistol calibers so they are ok, but 308/30.06 is most definitely a rifle caliber and not accepted. We shoot at steel plates that are 10 yards away; using a Garand would probably not be that safe. If you want to shoot your rifles competitively, look for a High Power match or a proper 3-gun match. at the various clubs in the tri-state area. I think every club probably has a high power match, but only a few do a 3-gun.

You could buy one of the many old surplus guns in 9mm mak or 7.62 tok just to burn up a permit. They're very inexpensive, have interesting history and are quite fun to shoot. Or look at the various types of competitive events out there and buy a gun to suit one of those styles. Get a tiny little NAA revolver. Everyone will make fun of it but will also BEG to shoot it. great convo piece and you can win quite a few bucks from people who think you could never hit a steel plate at 50 yards with it. No one can have enough 22's.

Yes John, i've been going pretty regularly for the past year or two. Andy doesn't work mondays anymore but Chris does. Any number of us will set up and RO the stages these days; just depends on who gets there first that night.

Good to hear, Mike. With a little instruction while i was RO'ing, Cheryl was doing a heck of a lot lot better and was much less frustrated at the line. Get that girl some trigger time before the next one! Yeah, i guess it wasn't too shabby for me. Frankly though, the times start to climb pretty high in open by 5th place. spots 1-4 in irons also beat the 5th guy in open. Those 1 and 2 spots still look pretty intimidating though! I have to see those guys shoot next time. One of you will have to point them out to me at the next one, its got to be quite the spectacle. A good indicator nonetheless and has me anxious for the next one.

Le results are posted! http://www.worldclasssteel.com/dnn/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=3Jx9W1X7DwE%3d&tabid=107&mid=522 Sheeit, 3 and 3. i was hoping to better in the pistol class but looking at the times at the guys ahead of me, i got a loooooooong way to go! lol. That guy Jimmy in 1st must be a machine gun at the wheel. damn! And Mike hot on my heels in carbine! That was a close race through most of the day though. It wasn't until later in the day when you had a short loaded mag and other issues did the gap really start to widen. And ahem... Cheryl beat Harry on stage 5. Just sayin...

A lot of us meet on mondays and fridays now.

Do any of you have the Seirra Papa full trigger kit on your Storm's? Anyone know what is the pull weight is before and after?
