You can use AR or pistol caliber carbine. You can even use a .22lr rifle. The farthest out I've seen is 60 yards so optics may not be required depending on what you are comfortable with. Just make sure you have enough mags to hold at least 30 rounds. It's more fun than anything and probably the thing I look forward to the most as you do not get this opportunity everywhere.

Yes, I shot my first match here. The round count is lower compared to some of the other venues. As long as you tell the RO you are new, they will help you thru the match. Remember, if time permitting there will be a rifle stage after the pistol match.

I did it myself. It was probably the hardest part of the conversion. Just take your time and check your work multiple times. I did not have any experience modifying guns when I did this and learned everything by watching the videos on youtube.

ACCU Shadow. Minds of well go all in. I spoke with CZ Customs about whether it would be production legal. He said the gun has been reviewed but the paperwork has not been submitted as they were not able to get any guns until this past October. It should be production legal by the time I'm ready to compete with it. The trouble is trying to find magazines for it. $50 a pop for a magazine is outrageous, let alone a 10 rounder. Ideally, I'd like to find 15 rounders.

Darn, all this talk about CZ. I've ordered one as I'm looking to try something different in the production division.

What barrel did you go with? The grouping are pretty good. I have the Maten set without the handguards. I'm using factory ammo (CBC) which is probably why it is not grouping well.

I'd be interested in hearing what town it is. I have to make an appointment with my detective bureau also. You cannot drop the application off. I called my detective bureau on a Friday and they met me on Tuesday the following week.

I agree. I think you used to be able to find some good used items for sale here but it seems to have disappeared. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was because of all the recent events. Perhaps things are sold elsewhere. I'd be interested in knowing where else I can look. I've got permits coming in and was hoping to find some items that others are no longer using.

Wouldn't be the first time I broke something. Relatively speaking, this was a pretty cheap lesson.

This stuff is great. I can't say that it removes all the carbon build up but it sure is easier to clean. I use it on my AR and my 2011 handgun. No smell. I used to use Ballistol but that leaves quite a smell. I still use Ballistol on my regular stuff as the FireClean is quite expensive.

Pretty sweet deal. Hmm, buffer tube assembly set is on sale too for $29.95. Just pick your choice of stock. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/15002/s/psa-premium-7075-6-position-mil-spec-diameter-buffer-tube-assembly/

I bought a fiber front sight from Dawson and they sent me the tool. Just borrow the tool from someone. I would lend you mine but I beat it up a bit while drifting out the rear sight.

Ty, would the Fortis 14" rail interfere with the muzzle brake on a 14.5" barrel? It looks like it would be pretty close according to your pictures.

Too bad I was told after the fact. That was the second stage for me. I think I would've shot the stage avoiding the bridge but not knowing was also cool as I got to shoot from a rickety bridge which I've never done before. If given the opportunity again, I would avoid the bridge if possible.

Nice. How do you like the handguards? It seems a bit odd that the handguard is wider than the receiver though. I chopped the tang from my Saiga when I did the conversion. How do you like the ACE pignose adapter? Is it just as secure as the other stock adapter that attach to the tang?

BTW, I have the same Remington 700. Unfortunately, I ran out of funds to put some glass on it. I got a 0 MOA EGW base. I would like to go out to 800 yards but do not know of any range that I can go out that far. I am looking at the Bushnell Elite Tactical ERS scope. I don't think this scope has enough adjustment to zero at 100 yards if I got the 20 MOA base. What height rings did you get? I'm still debating on the scope so I have not yet committed to the rings yet. For the stock, I'm thinking of the XLR Carbon chassis.

Central Jersey will allow you to go out to 300 yards. There should be quite a few ranges that go farther in PA but they are usually quite a drive. I'm a member of a range in PA about 2 hours away that allows me to go out to 400 yards. It's near my in-laws place so when I go visit, I usually have stuff to do.

I went the Saiga route also. The conversion wasn't hard. All the videos are found on the Carolina Shooter's Supply site. http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/category_s/1821.htm They also sell "packaged kits" for your conversion. It's almost like cheating. Those two pictures are very interesting and I'm curious as to how they move the bolt handle to the right side.

Depending on where you are located, OMG in Bayonne has the EAA Witness Match Elite in 9mm with a 10 rd mag. His price is $629 (+ 3.5% tax). http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/classifieds/item/1171-handguns-for-sale-107/ Price on Slickguns was around $550 but it looks like clicking on the site actually shows a retail price of $598 (or cash discount of $581). Stock magazine is 18 rds so pretty much useless for you unless you get it pinned. With transfer, this should be pretty close. Let me know how you like it. I was thinking of the Witness Stock III as a future purchase.

Palmetto State Armory has their blemished lowers for sale at $59.99. This is almost half the price they normally sell at. Most times, you will not even notice the blemishes. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-blemished-safe-fire-lower.html $600 bucks will get the rest of the parts to complete you AR minus optics and magazine. You would have to make the upper compliant though. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/16-hammer-forged-mid-length-rifle-kit-2691.html Both deals expire tomorrow at midnight.

I did post this for you. I forgot to PM you about it though.

I purchased this upper about a year and a half ago at the same price. I like that it is a 14.5 inch barrel with a comp permanently pinned. This is NJ compliant without any work. Slap it to your NJ compliant lower and you are good to go. The dynacomp brake is not a cheap comp either. It is pretty quiet compared to other brakes out there. AIM will occasionally carry the Spikes upper without the free float handguard and the A2 gas block. You can save a few bucks but the free float handguard looks much better and is functional if you want to add attachments.

It's back at Aim Surplus.
