Send a PM to Smokin 50 - IIRC he is.

Good luck and practice practice practice!

Weekend of the 18th?

And that's your reason why. My flight was booked solid.

Was it busy in the airport? I think it depends on how busy they are.

Nope - Didn't check anything - just asked me if it was unloaded and if the ammo was in a box.

Try JETAgent in Mendham.

This is what I got for mine - screwed right in. Works great. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savage-Axis-Replacement-Trigger-Spring-2-5-to-4-lbs-pull-/221387375058?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338bb741d2

That's awesome - but crazy expensive. $5500 for just the base... without the throwers.....

Welcome. Get into handguns too? Did you change the trigger or trigger spring on your Savage Axis XP? I have one in .308 also - I changed the trigger spring and it's much better now.

.40 will definitely be snappier and have more felt recoil than 9...

Sinclair’s Simple Twist Rate Measurement Method If are unsure of the twist rate of the barrel, you can measure it yourself in a couple of minutes. You need a good cleaning rod with a rotating handle and a jag with a fairly tight fitting patch. Utilize a rod guide if you are accessing the barrel through the breech or a muzzle guide if you are going to come in from the muzzle end. Make sure the rod rotates freely in the handle under load. Start the patch into the barrel for a few inches and then stop. Put a piece of tape at the back of the rod by the handle (like a flag) or mark the rod in some way. Measure how much of the rod is still protruding from the rod guide. You can either measure from the rod guide or muzzle guide back to the flag or to a spot on the handle. Next, continue to push the rod in until the mark or tape flag has made one complete revolution. Re-measure the amount of rod that is left sticking out of the barrel. Use the same reference marks as you did on the first measurement. Next, subtract this measurement from the first measurement. This number is the twist rate. For example, if the rod has 24 inches remaining at the start and 16 inches remain after making one revolution, you have 8 inches of travel, thus a 1:8 twist barrel.

Semi-sarcastic. I have a small SMG bag that I use for Airsoft. Fits an Airsoft H&K G36c with it's stock folded... works out

It depends on your size and body shape, as well as what equipment you're using... I don't appendix carry because of my gut in the way - would push the gun into my thigh or make it extremely uncomfortable. If you've got a longer gun for CCW, that may be the case as well. I just IWB carried my Beretta Nano - had the holster at 5:00. Felt comfortable, and comfortable enough that I wasn't printing with the butt of the gun sticking out or anything. There are also other 1911s that are made for carry. Kimber, Para, etc make smaller models made for carry...

It had to be done...

Gawd I love that stock...

Forgot to add "Competitors are required to scream "THREAT" after the start beep, and scanning for additional threats while holding their gun at high ready after finishing the Course of Fire"

Muzzle Brakes can definitely make it louder - however I've heard some real blasts from ARs with crowned barrels as well. If you get a muzzle brake that is designed to direct the noise and concussion forward, it's not nearly as bad as one that is made more for compensation, which tends to throw the noise out to the sides and back to alleviate muzzle climb.

If we buy a case that's too small?

Is NICS closed Friday?

Dawn of the Dead reference:

Also have you looked at the backstop at some of these ranges? Shooting centerfire rifle into dirt piles? WIth the crap people put out on the ranges you'd get ricochets and missed berm shots all the time.

I was just in Ft Myers/Naples. Met up with Checko at Fowler Firearms in Ft Myers, lol South FL Int'l Airport was pretty easy to check in. I flew using United this time. Went up to the kiosk and told the lady I was declaring a firearm. She just grabbed the tag and filled it out, tossed it in the bag, then she put it in with the rest of the checked luggage... I thought she was supposed to walk it through the TSA check but I guess they check everything anyway... I got back late last night after a bit of a bumpy flight. Flew through some soup... had a lightning bolt nearly hit us - I saw it out the window just after I took this pic. They made us circle over Trenton in a holding pattern before coming in low - we basically cruised under 10,000 feet over NJ to stay under the cloud cover.
