I saw on the JR website there where some recalls for rapid fire issues with these guns. Have you had the recall service done yet?

Were you there? There were 3 timed static steel stages like any normal steel event. Those comprise your timed score. Since the MvsM stage was run "heads-up", it wasn't timed as the only thing that mattered was if you beat your opponent or not.

The MvsM stage was exactly that. Then there were 3 or 4 other regular static steel challenge type stages to pass the time on while the MvsM eliminations were going on.

Dude, so what happened to your carbine last time? Seemed like it was running great, then wouldn't run at all. Did something break?

Well... as long as someone reminds me which is the business end of the gun again. You know how how scatter brained i can be! Remember that time i loaded all the bullets in the clip backards and blew the slide off right into the berm? Good times! lol

Not gonna lie, its kind of intimidating.

Maybe in... i dunno for sure though.

Lol, i dunno about beating the open guys; at least not the good ones. I did have that one good pistol run towards the end though. Curious to see how that stacks up. When do they generally post the scores for this club?

Yeah, fugg them! Work less, shoot more.

Interesting. I've not heard any rumors like that regarding SS. Curious to know if there's anything to this.

I think I need some kind of mag coupler for these old pps mags. The just don't funnel easily into the sub caliber magazine block in the ar15 receiver and I keep fumbling the mag loads. You can literally hear it in the video with all the clicking and clacking of metal on metal during the reloads. Lol. Other than that, she runs pretty good when I don't get a 60 year old dud. Hopefully Elvis and others will join us at the next one. I think I like the carbine class better than pistol!

That keltec needs a simple flat or downward angled butt pad to be more comfortable since that gun rides so high on your shoulder. those concave points look like some kind of 1800's flintlock target rifle torture device!

Hey Joe, does your shoulder look like hamburger meat after all that shotgun shootin! The keltec was like salt in the wound after that. Lol I finally put together the footage of the rifle cam. The wide fisheye lens makes stuff look a lot farther than it was though but you can watch it in hd to crank up the size and see the plates. I definitely picked up the pace in stages 4 and 5 and am already anxiously awaiting the next one.

Mike, it was somewhat of a custom build (ie. the complete rifle isn't sold as-is). I basically bought a complete upper (and mags) from these guys below and put it on a carbine lower i already had from my .223 rifle. I did change some things on the tokarev upper such as adding a free float handguard, red dot and the AFG to customize it to my ergo's and usage but that's about it. The beauty of it is that since its just an standard gas impingement AR15, all the AR parts and stuff are compatible for customizing and tuning to your preference and purpose. I bought it for a cheap plinker when the Tok ammo was still cheap but although the cheap tok ammo has dried up for the time being, it seems to suit this role fairly well. http://www.cncgunsparts.com/ar-15_m-16_762x25_uppers

The have two sizes, 36" and 42" for $30 each on closeout. Seem like a nice case to cart your carbine around in. http://www.lapolicegear.com/lapg-36in-rifle-case.html http://www.lapolicegear.com/lapg-42in-rifle-case.html

Does adding weight to the back end actually provide any realistic benefit? I mean, the "balance" changes, but the rifle is just overall heavier. I agree the front heavy thing is annoying but without being able to truly change the weight distribution while keeping the same overall weight, both the front *and* the back are going to feel heavy now?

Couple of questions regarding this: How are you disposing of the contaminated water? How are you all doing your drying phase? Just dump it on a tray? Run a fan on a timer?

The earlier thread about sniper training and equipment got me to thinking about one of my favorite sniper scene's in a movie. Not so much for the technicals, but for the levity of it. Sneaky bastard!

If you're not bent on the ITW's, Esstac has some new shorty pouches that look they will work better with the Pmag 20's. http://www.skdtac.com/Esstac-M4-KYWI-Single-Mag-Pouch-SHORTY-p/ess.232.htm I use HSGI Taco's for 3-gun and just have the pmag 20's ride a little high in the pouch and they're easy to grab, however, since its a competition, i can stage them like that right before use and don't have to worry about them drooping back down over the long term.

Peter Luger's ammo? I thought they just made sauce.

Seems a little in the higher end. Was it the stainless model?

I double up as well but you have to look at the DB ratings of your ear pro as some suppress more than others. Lately i've been using some Surefire Ep5 silicone ear plugs which are super comfy and suppress in teh upper 20's range (28 db NRR i believe). Then i use some thick passive muffs in the low 30's range to top it off. The thin ones are only good for low 20's db suppression so the thicker the better in this case but again, check your ratings to be sure.

Any idea how much they're asking for the 1894c?

Good times fo' sho! An FYI everyone, please don't leave the paint buckets right next to the tables!! We don't need any dropped mags tea-bagging in the Sherwin-Williams. lol

Hope you can make it out, dude. You should be able to get a bunch of stages in and they might let you shoot through if you only have to cut out a little early. Did you get your rifle issue squared away? I was hoping all of us folks would be there running carbines again, that was some good shootin and good fun!
