I've gotten to where I use a wire brush to clean off the feed ramp and breech face area between stages to clear off the fouling material, then wipe with a rag. This seems to help with feeding reliability.

You might also take a look at the Leupold VX-6 with firedot BDC. The dot is green and not as bright as the Razor, but I have found it bright enough and extremely light. Very clear glass and you can save a bit of coin over the Razor.

When I first got my A5, I tested the Fiochhi 7/8 ounce low recoil slugs and it wouldn't cycle them. The Federal Trueball 1350 ft/s Roxymajor recommended to me have been running great. I haven't retested the Fiochhi to see if they will work now that the gun is broken in though.

Thank you for posting this. I have looked everywhere locally for a longer shotgun case and no one has them. Will be ordering one of these the next time I have a Midway order. If midway would lower there shipping rates I would order now.

I think this is where using a timer in practice is very important. Set up 3-5 targets and shoot 3 strings with 2 rounds each at your normal "accurate speed". Take the average time (your par time) and then shoot the targets again with the goal in mind to push yourself to go faster and reducing your time by 1-2 seconds. Once you reach this goal with reasonable accuracy, shoot them until you can reduce your time by another second.

Most night sights I have used always have a larger front sight wheras fiber optic front sights are smaller diameter. The fiber makes precision shots easier, it will just take using them some more to get use to picking up the smaller fiber front if you've always shot big front night sights.

I thought I would give some feedback on the SLR Helix 13.7 Keymod, since I got it in today and couldn't find much in way of a review on it. So if others are debating this rail, hopefully this will help. First, it is absolutely beautiful and extremely light! The machine work and finish on it are top notch. There are no sharp edges on the rail, unless you count the corners of the picatinny. You are NOT going to be sticking your fingers through the holes in the rail unless you have very small fingers. I wear a Large glove size, but even if you were small or medium, I think you would have to be intentionally trying to get your fingers through the holes. For reference, the diameter of the keymod hole is the same width as the vertical rectangular slots. And if your using a C clamp type grip, your fingers are angled to the vertical slots a little anyway. The rail is quite comfortable. I read that some people thought it was cheese grater like. I can kind of see what they meant by it, but it is not at all uncomfortable. In fact, I would compare it to more like stippling. As you grip the rail, your skin molds into the slots in the rail, but it feels quite comfortable as there are no sharp edges. I really think this will be an advantage, especially when it is really hot and your hands are sweating. As your skin pokes into the holes in the rail, it helps your grip alot. Time will tell if this rail will be durable enough for 3 gun, but my initial impression is that it will be fine. The end of your muzzle device and barrel should be taking the brunt of barrel dumps.

Thanks. This seals the deal for me.

I really like the weight and looks of this handguard, but am having trouble finding many people that have had hands on experience with it or many reviews written on it. If anyone has used this specific handguard, how does it feel on the hands? Is it overly rough or the holes to large allowing you fingers to poke inside? I'm looking at the 13.7" to put cover a 16" barrel. Thanks for any help!

The barrel I'm using is as Stretch 16 cerakoted barrel. A clamp on gas block is a must with this barrel without scratching it all up. I've looked at the MI lightweight hanguards, but they don't make a 13-13.5 inch option that I'm aware of. I think the 15 inch is a little long for a 16 inch barrel and the 12 inch version is a little to short.

I'm using a Eotech EXPS2-0 in the Factory mount.

I shoot steel challenge with my MPX. 25 yard zero works great from 7-50 yards.

I have all my parts on order for my 3 gun build and have narrowed my handguard selection down to the following options. I wear large size gloves to give you an idea of hand size. I really like the SLR Helix, but am concerned about it having to many holes and possible sharp edges my fingers might get into. Is it very easy to get your fingers stuck into any of these or any that are discomfortable to use? If you have another handguard recommendation please feel free to. This will be used on a 16 inch barrel with SLR - 7 clamp on gas block. Thanks!

I've been shooting ruger rimfire for about 3 years. 10/22 and M and P 15-22 are neck in neck. Just shoot whichever you prefer.

I cant directly answer your question, but since know one has responded. I have a Gen 1 MPX and had Sig send me a 2nd gen handle since the Gen 1 was banging the back of my reciever so bad. It didn't totally eliminate it, but it helped Alot. It seems to be made with tighter tolerances so it doesnt tilt so bad when pulled out.
