Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I have had a couple of sites pop up on Facebook that seem to be unrealistic at best. First is gunsandreloaders.net. Owner is shown as Mike Nigan. Clams to be a vet. This store has an amazing amount of powder and primers on hand. It also has an amazing lack of history, feedback or ability to nail down the location. The addresses shown show as something else on google maps. The other is reloadersinc.com. Again an amazing amount of primer and powder stock. No history, no abilities to get feedback or nail down a location. You cannot type in the weblink shown and get to the store, only by clicking on the link shown on Facebook. I did see a scam alert on reloadersinc, had a score of 1.9 out of 100. Guys, scammers know we are looking for deals, be very careful of sites showing large stocks of what we cannot find. I have yet to see a face shot of the owners or any people at all in the stores/warehouses. I did see photos of large amounts of inventory in nice large stores shown. I will stick with the ones I have been dealing with the past 20 years. If any of you know of these sites, stores or people, lets us know please. Robert Standley A49729
  2. On my ATI lower, the ejector is also the magazine stop. I used the magazine to insure correct alignment and a good dose of red locktite on the ejector to help lock it in. 40 inch pounds should do it.
  3. Check your stroke and the ejector for proper alignment.
  4. On my ATI lower, I corrected the magazine angle problem (and it was really loose) with JB weld in the lower back inside of the mag well. Then repositioned the ejector (that also is the magazine limit stop) to the correct angle. No issues for two years with any mag I have used since.
  5. Remington 6 1/2 SRP are good for pistol. They are .020 thick compared to the 7 1/2 that is .025 thick.
  6. my spyware wont let me go to this website, says it is dangerous. I really need those sun shades too.
  7. The New Middle Tennessee Sporting Association has become a member club of USPSA (TN-13). We plan of having our first match on Saturday November 23rd 2019. Start time is 9:00 AM. 4 field courses, one speed drill and classifier CM 18-09. Looking at 167 rounds. Match fee is $25. This is the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Please register on our practiscore page. https://practiscore.com/mtsa-uspsa-match/register Thank you for your consideration. Robert Standley A49729 - Match Director
  8. I use 50/200. around here we have had steel at 50, 100, 200 - 300 yards. 200 is most common. I use a Burris mtac 1x4 and 1.5x6 with mil dots.
  9. The problem with the current design on trigger groups is they are AR-15 trigger groups. they are sprung to fire the hard .223/5.56 rifle primers. The firing pin spring is to stop slam fires on the softer 9mm ammo primers. On the AR platforms the pin does not return back as far as the AR-9 platform, the pin is riding of the primer. that spring causes much more wear on the pin itself because of that little extra distance it travels when the hammer hits it. The 9mm firing pin is to be considered a wear item. I went to CCI 550 primers that are slightly harder or small rifle primers at times. I usually remove my good firing pin and install a broken one for dry firing practice. A strong spring also helps on dry firing. finding the right spring weight to absorb the extra energy of the AR trigger group would take a while and you could sell them when you found it. For now, I don't dry fire with my good pin installed and run hard primers.
  10. The hammer springs in most of the PCC guns are sprung to light off small rifle primers(AR trigger groups). The taper is to help with pin life. The two steps are where most are breaking. I reload using CCI 550 Small pistol magnum primers, no issues.
  11. My ETS mags work better than my factory mags. who knew.
  12. I polished mine at the point they break, where they machine it down, in hopes it will increase its life. I of course carry a spare. I would hope they would cut a taper instead of a square shoulder at that point. I also reduced the weight of the mil-spec hammer and lighten the hammer spring.
  13. Could we get the ranger builders not to lay down 3" boulders. If you don't have time to roll it down, just lay down something smaller. I hate to see competitors falling because of this issue. I noticed this at more than one match this past year. (Safety issue) Don't get me wrong, Lucas, thanks for the new range. Just make sure the contractors know what it is being built for.
  14. 25 grs. of 748, 55gr SP, Running about 2700fps out of a 16" 1-8 barrel.
