You can, just pop out the ejector and put in the proper one. Put on the new upper .22 conversions have their ejector built in. SV makes a replacable breechface so you can use the same slide

Fun match, thanks to the Shongum crew for putting it on

area 7, I ran indoor matches at a public range, we had to off the range and have the range open for public before 1pm, But they would not let us in before 8:30. It wasn't large but a huge pain the ass. Like I said, more squads then bays, but few bays then stages.

A Match Director is a thankless job, no doubt about it. You feeling like you are working only so others can shoot and your shooting takes hit becuase of it. Been there, done that. Spent nights stapling tagets to stands so that I would have time to organize everything in the AM. You are in the anger stage of running a match , first its new and interesting, then you get in the groove and know what you are doing, then you get pissed because no one helps or appreciates it, then finally you burn out.... I'm in the burnt out stage. I ran matches were there were more squads then bays and you have to build new stages mid match... it was like herding cats. Here are a few suggestions that worked for me and others. They may or may not work for you. Not criticism to you or anyone else but suggestions that worked for me Make shooters commit at the shooters meeting the month before to build stages. I first got roped in building stages because at a shooters meeting the MD said if I don't have stage builders for next month, you will have 1 target to shoot per stage. If you have 6 stage builders the month before the match and then on match day only 5 show up... you only have 5 stages... everyone will know who didn't follow through. Build simpler stages. You will build them quicker and score them quicker OB runs into a lot of issue with overly complex stages Multiple inline activators slow everything down. Avoid multiple string classifiers at all cost, they take to long to shoot and even longer to score. Do not let people shoot more than once for the classifier.They back up a match For squading, Take as many targets as there are going to be squads, put the targets on the registration table and have people squad themselves, when I squad is full remove the target from the table. It will get people there earlier so they can squad with their friends, then you put them to work... Plus you don't need to read off the squad list at the shooters meeting. That is just adding time to the match. Don't read off the WSB either. They will be read at the stage. If there is something so complex that it needs to be read to everyone, then that will end up slowing down the match. There is no reason why you should not be shooting 5 min after the 1 minute shooters meeting. Palm scoring adds time at the beiginning. but once you have the shooters name in there, all you have to do is change the division. The initial population can take time, and new shooters will slow it down if you get a lot once in awhile. Harvard sportsmen club in Ma runs very well with palms, registration to first shots is very short. Plus the scores are ready after everything is torn down. You might want to talk to the ARea 7 Northeast sectional director about it, he will have some great tips. I'm going to get back into the stage building etc at OB a little later this year since I have recently joined... right now I would last 5 min if I had to deal with all the crap you are dealing with. good luck

Plates and poppers are 5pts. Stage points are a percentage of total amount of points available for the stage. The person with the highest hit factor gets all the points, your points are the percentage that your hit factor was of the highest HF. Then all of your stage points are added up and that is match point. The one with the most wins.

A trigger job will probably hide most of your trigger pull/flinch problem. But when you add a little stress it will come back.

I use this barrel and have been extremely happy with it. It has been very accurate with hand loads, Always under 1" at 100 yard, lots of 1/2" groups. Its turned down to .650 under the handguard, so it balaces and transitions very well. It is a 1-8 barrel though http://shop.nordiccomp.com/Lilja-Nordic-AR-Rifle-Barrel-Stainless-16-BBL-223-16M-LN.htm

Thanks Maks, I think KC andTilley edged me out time wise, certainly got me on points. I almost to a digger running across the stage too.. it would have been epic if I went down at full speed.

It was a good match; ran smoothly and the stages were a lot better in person then they looked on paper. Overall I had a terrible match. Piled on the mikes because I was having problems with follow through all day. On the stage were I actually shot like I know I can, I was happy where I ended up.

Not really. you lose point but don't gain any extra rounds. I would take your spartan, have the frame cut for what ever your 9mm Open top end is and then get a 9mm replacement barrel with the same ramp. Shoot SS minor, where you gain 2 rounds, shoot Steel iron sights and Open steel.

I use mobil 1 on all my firearms. I never had an issues with it. It is the one of the few lubes that is still there after long practices. Didn't Militec-1 start life as a crankcase oil then got repackaged as firearms lube when it wouldn't sell

No

I run an ACOG with an aimpoint on the side. Best of both worlds

bump

I didn't know this was kindergarden and grown men would get butt hurt. Zoid is progressing well in competition shooting, there is no need for him to handicap himself by not being able to shoot DA at any distance. Thumbing back the hammer is a crutch that will do nothing by reverse any progress he has made.....ie, he needs to learn how to shoot

why not just learn how to shoot instead

No Open/Limited = Gay

How is slower better? If you can maintain the same level of safety and control, how is a slower holster better? How can getting a weapon out faster hurt? Answer that! How are you going to draw weak handed when you have to push a button? In evey instance, there is a better holster to use. There is not one area where the serpa excels, not one. so why get it when there are better ones for the same price

So FLETC isn't the end all be all for training, but yours is?

Wow, who cares how fast you can get your weapon into the fight, it doesn't matter? Where are you getting your training, the internet and video games? In gun games, the only consequence for being slow is losing points. In Self defense it could mean losing your life.

And basically that is all the holster is good for, slowly pulling the gun out. But why get a holster that will have problems under stress, under bad conditions etc when you can have another holster for the same cost that will hold the gun as nicely when you are walking around or slowly drawing the gun but has no issues when you are under stress or in bad conditions

If you disable the lock, the holster has zero retention @ Vladtepes. On a normal holster, my finger is up around the ejection port. I don't have to put my finger anywhere near the trigger. The holster is a walking around holster.. has no place when your are doing advanced gun work
