technetium-99m

That it is, and I will also have to actually deal with snow which as an Okie is not really a frequent problem.

Considering a move to Indiana from Oklahoma, likely living in or around Noblesville. Looks like there are a reasonable number of matches and ranges within a few hours. Also looks like my NFA items are allowed. Anything else about the state or Indianapolis to know or consider?

Geissele SSA-E is a great trigger. All my ARs have those or regular old SSAs.

Thanks for the info!

May be moving to the Iowa City area. Looks like West Liberty is the closest club for USPSA. Are there any other matches/disciplines around? Also any advice on where to live? Need to be no more than 20-30 minutes from the University of Iowa. Laws look decent, I believe I can bring my suppressors and SBRs, don't have a MG yet which looks like a no go anyway. From what I can tell standard mags are kosher across the whole state. Any law issues I should know about?

Have a dovetail cut in the rib and install a handgun front sight. Dawson has a ton of heights available and they are easily replaced if you smash the heck out of it. Easy to adjust for windage too.

When I had one I took a jar full of mineral spirits and soaked the piston overnight. Blow it out with compressed air the next day.

Does JP make a block adjustable from the front now? If they do I'll check it out.

Looking for adjustable gas blocks for my 308 rifles. I'd like blocks that are adjustable from the front, preferably something that has clicks or a some other locking mechanism. One will be set and not adjusted, the other will be used with and without a suppressor so it might be adjusted up and down regularly if that makes a difference. The SLR 7 seems to fit the bill, are there any others that fit the criteria? I was not impressed with the Syrac blocks I had.

Double overhand deadlifts and farmers carries have done wonders for my grip. I can close a COC 2.5 now and was stuck at a 1.5 for quite a while.

I put SSA-Es in all my ARs. I have really come to like 2 stage triggers. Wait for any holiday and buy them for 170-180 bucks.

With a Lee 6 cavity mold and a bottom pour pot I could do 800 an hour.

It's been a while. I loaded them with Solo 1000, can't remember the exact powder charge. I do remember I loaded them to an oal of 1.185. Made major at 3 or so major matches, around 173 PF.

I loaded a bunch of 180gr 40s with the Lee 6 cavity aluminum mold. Sized to .401 and lubed with blue angel. They ran great and were accurate in at least 3 limited guns. The 6 cavity mold was hard to beat for production. I did cool the sprue plate with a water soaked towel before I opened the mold. Worked just fine.

The SSAE gives me the best amount of travel and reset strength of any other trigger I've tried. I can run it better than a JP or an AR gold.

No matter what you do you will favor major or minor in divisions that allow both. There really isn't a reason to mess with the limited division rules. If you want to compete shoot major. Same for rifle, I feel there should be a larger benefit for shooting major (308 and up), but it wouldn't really advance the sport much. If you want to compete shoot 223.

Forgot to add. I put in a sprinco dual extractor spring and it helped a lot. Your malf looks like the gun is running too fast.

My 308 had a very narrow window of operation with low mass parts, like 1/8th of a turn one way or the other on the JP adjustable block and it would stop running. Back to the standard 308 carrier from DPMS and presto, rifle runs like a scalded dog.

I've had 2 die the same way. Fixed it by going to a Pocket Pro II

Kurt was the first person I heard talking about letting dots into the irons divisions. It's been a thing at our local matches for years.

Xtreme 9mm are mostly good to go. I had terrible results with their 180gr 40's, and so so results with 230gr 45's.

In central Oklahoma we have 3 really fantastic matches each month. I mean 7-8 quality stages with unique shooting challenges. One draws 80+, another draws 35-40, and the other draws 10-20. Each has a different feel but all are great run by really good MDs. I think geography has a lot to do with it. Some matches due to where they are just never draw big numbers.

I went nuts with mine, checked every box except for it being a sight tracker and was in it for $4,700. Stainless or blued without some of the other cosmetic stuff it would have been under $4K.

I've not held any 1911 or 2011 that was as nice as my SV with regards to either fitment or finish. And I've not found a smith with customer service as good as SV. Unless some things changed you can spec out a 40 cal limited gun for less than $4K. Don't get the thing Ionbonded and avoid some of the options that aren't necessary for a competition gun and there you go.

Oklahoma misses Austin.
