High Exposure

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Aren't the current NJ assault weapon laws based on Clinton's 1994 Assault Weapon Ban? Didn't the Fed Govt come up with all that silliness and NJ just adopted it? That all occurred before I was into shooting.

So, I took a 1 day Shotgun Operators course yesterday given by Joe Riedy and Sights & Triggers out at the Steel City range in Bethlehem PA with the shotgun I posted above. I took the dot off (it wasn't zeroed after I did some maintenance on the gun and removed the sidesaddle mount) and ran it with just the bead front sight. The gun ran well and I was consistantly ringing AB size steel at 100 yards with slugs while standing. Easy day. Most of the drills were run with bird shot to learn the skill, then verified with the defensive load of your choice, in my case it was Federal Flite Control Low Recoil 8 pellet 00B - LE13300. Seeing what a lot of the other guys were using I was very pleased with my results. At 10 yards I could cover the 8 pellets with my fist, and 25 yards I could easily cover them with my hand. We shot between 275 and 300 rounds during which I had 1 malfunction, a failure to extract and a double feed combo, that I am pretty sure was user induced. I was shooting a drill on the timer and was going too fast, I short stroked the pump which I know caused the double feed, but I am not so sure about the failure to extract - maybe an ammo issue as I was using cheap RIO birdshot I got from Dick's. I didn't have any other problems, (other than sucking it with my pistol on a transition) so I am chalking it up to black magic. All in all a good day.

Mark did my G35 as well. Excellent work with reasonable cost and minimal down time. This was of course well before the MOS series was offers by Glock. I am curious to hear your review on the Vortex. They seem to be well made and the CS is outstanding. Personally, it makes a lot of sense to put an RMR on G26/27. Against all intuition, they are actually the most accurate of all the Glocks. I say go for it. If I didn't carry my G27 as a BUG at work, I would have done it already.

No experience with the delta point. My experience with the RMR02 has been great though. It finally started to lose zero under recoil after 6 years. I called Trijicon and they sent me a brand new one. I can't complain.

Yup. He also helped Pat out a lot as an AI.

Oh, and FYI: https://dsgarms.com/ktb5bravo-blk?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=B5%20Milspec%20Bravo%20Buttstock%20Kit%20-%20Black&utm_campaign=5/6%20Retail%20-%20Armalite%20M15 B5 Bravo Stock kit for $75 (sign in for full discount).

The M4 is a sweet shotgun, no doubt. But, check out the Beretta 1301. 1/2 the price but quality and performance is as good (arguably better). You can find them under $800 often. I am saving for one now. As far as too many pump guns? No such thing

Not sick per se but he had the typical medical issues any 70 year old would have, including a history of heart disease.

I am a little freaked out myself. I meant to call him after I posted but decided to wait until the weekend as things at home were hectic. I am kicking myself now. I am not sure what the future holds for EAG. I know he had a few strong partners and Assistant Instructors such as John Chapman, Doc Spears and Steve Fischer, among others. They may continue as EAG, or morph into something else. I know he had recently increased the number of types of courses offered and relied heavily on his AIs to do the heavy lifting... We shall see. If I hear, I will advise.

Yes it is. I feel like an entire library just burned down to the ground and I only had time to read one book. His passing will be felt by everyone in the training community and all freedom loving Americans. I hope I can be half the man he was and be for one person what he was for me - a mentor, a touchstone, a sounding board, a confidant, a beacon, a friend.

Ha! No, this was out in Alliance Ohio. He was training with NODS and he wiped out when he tripped over a pile of gravel while a student in an LMS No-Light ops class.

Well gents, looks like my words were more prophetic than I knew. Pat passed away this morning. We are diminished. We lost a warrior and a great teacher.

That's the theme of this whole thread!

We are diminished. Pat was a good friend. Someone I spoke to regularly. He was always there, especially when things were tough. He always listened and always gave good advice. I am very sad......

Someone is watching too much "Dune":

Thanks for the kind words. I think contacting Stag first is a smart move. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

Here ya go: https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPGS-9 I just installed one on a rifle I had with an under gassed issue (the gas block shit the bed for some reason). Rifle runs like a sewing machine now.

Ah, gotcha. Some gun makers oversize the gas holes in their barrels so it will run on out of spec underpowered cheap Ammo. Two easy ways to fix it - 1) Replace the barrel with one with an in-spec gas port 2) Replace the gas block with an adjustable model. JP makes a nice 2 piece adjustable model that clamps on.

Checko, it's cake. Take out the NY spring and install a standard trigger spring. Hell, I have the part for you. If you are going to carry the gun CCW at all, avoid any kind of lighter springs, but a - trigger connector is OK. Keep in mind the - connector will make the trigger feel lighter and a little musher, the + connector will make it feel crisper but a tad bit heavier. The standard connector does a good job of splitting the difference. As far as the trigger jobs gunsmiths do and many of the drop-in triggers on the market, you need to be careful. Oftentimes overzealous trigger work disables the firing pin and inertial drop safety. It's a Glock, not a 1911. The trigger will never be 1911 like. If someone tells you they can make it feel that way, they are lying - I'm looking at you Travis Haley.

An over-gassed Stag rifle? Color me shocked. Heavier buffer and heavier action spring will help, or you can re-barrel it. As far as the dings/nicks - don't worry about it. It shows the rifle is used. That part is supposed to get beat up by brass.

Same here. They suck to load with.

I originally had just the Type 1 (slim rubber panels) on there, with a single Type 2 (textured plastic rectangle) that you need to create space between the rear "hook" and the front hand stop. I realized I wanted more space between the two protrusions so I bought another pack of the Type 2 panels to extend the front hand stop to where I wanted it to be and now it is perfect. I was messing around with some of the spare Type 2 panels and put some at 12 o'clock figuring it would be nice for my thumb to have some grip and a nice tactile reference point. Then I thought it would be nice to have some under my palm as well. So far I really like it. You can not wrap the whole handguard in the Type 2 panels. They will not fit correctly in the 5 and 7 o'clock slots if you have Type 2 panels installed in the 1 and 11 o'clock positions as well.
