Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. I see lots of talk about MBA-1 but has anyone found an alternate for the disaster of a buttpad? I like the stock, weight is perfect for my rifle, adjust-ability is perfect and loc-tite fixes all the stupid screws. That buttpad though, who thought an extremely hard, skinny, square and hooked back at the bottom pad was a good idea? When I shoot a typical match I get bruises from the bottom of the pad where it kicks out. This is typically from shouldering it squared up like I would a carbine. Traditional rifle stance or prone isn't as bad. I pulled the pad off and it's all built up inside of the pad preventing you from just slapping another on there.

    CZ Shadows 2 is coming

    Frame changes all look great to me, might have to finally cave and buy a CZ.

    CZ TS Orange

    Does anyone know how long you can load .40 in a TS magazine? Curious if I could make one of these take 1.180 ammo I use in my other limited/SS guns.
  4. Looks like I'm cancelling and trying Manny's. Such a shame as I really liked Eric's product. Can't believe he didn't just sell off everything to someone else who could produce them more reliably.
  5. Been shooting an 8" 300 BO for two years now. I'm using a Noveske barrel with their gas block as they seem to nail gas port size. The rifle is ran 90% suppressed with an H2 buffer both super and subs and cycles everything with the can off or on. If you are going 300 BO do yourself a favor and get a 8-10" barrel. You gain very little from anything longer and with a suppressor it keeps the rifle's size manageable. Keep in mind 300BO can be expensive to shoot so it's not really a "plinker". Mine is used as a deer rifle for tree stand/blind use where it's awesome. Also I've got around 1300rnds through mine so far without cleaning and I've done nothing but add oil to it. Gun has been 100% reliable. So pick your barrel/gasblock/buffer combo carefully.
  6. Guys has anyone heard from Eric in the past two months? I made an order with him back in March and followed that up with an email in April. I paid with Paypal so the funds are allocated and I'm considering retracting the order due to lack of any response. If he is done for good what the next most similar product out now? I want a full wrap and the fine grit like he used. It's the perfect setup for me and I'd hate to change.
  7. I'd suggest a slide stop ext or std, whatever your preference is. There is that small wire "spring" that has broken on two of mine. When it goes, it makes your life total hell too. Slide starts catching repeatedly mid stage, almost like a single shot at that point. I always carry one of those along with striker spring (factory weight and lightened), spring cups, trigger return spring and a universal punch for the pins. Whole kit fits into a small zippered pouch.
  8. Had some great luck with Sierra 125 OTMs. Was very suprised because of the flat base but I only tested out to 300yds.
  9. Had the Syrac Gen 1 and the adjustment screw would constantly stick and I'd have to put some quick rounds through the gun to break it loose. SLR has been on for a few matches now with NO sticking. Seems to be the better mousetrap. Also the guys at SLR serve up some great customer service!
  10. Go with the R700. Almost every gunsmith in the country knows how to work on them, the aftermarket is insane, almost AR-ish in variations. Being your on a tight budget I'd also consider the used market which is also massive for the R700. Sure people make stuff for the others but you can typically get R700 stuff second hand pretty cheap. Heck even Magpul is making chassis and mag systems for the R700 now. It's the clear winner.
  11. I have a STI Trojan in 40 and I absolutely love the gun. I also have a Dan Wesson custom shop built 40 S&W and I'd honestly part with that before the Trojan. Both will take some work, filing, etc. in my experience to fit your hand and work absolutely perfect. I'm also not a fan of stainless framed 1911s though.
  12. M Frames and their off-shoots are nice but the Tombstones really address the issue with the frame at the top causing problems. I usually see this when shooting prone under barricades or rifle. I'll be buying a set when they first come out and I currently have two pair of M frames i use.

    Mag Release search

    If you're doing all this to not have to break your grip I'd say practice mag changes. I'd bet 95% of shooters break their grip to some degree and you'd never be able to tell. It's just not the most time consuming part of a reload to really worry about it.
  14. Have a G17 that is similar but not quite as far with a factory barrel. If someone else would let you try another 34 barrel and see if it shoots true I'd try that before messing with anything. You could also try another locking block from another gun. That would help you find out if it's one part off or a stacking of tolerances. My G17 is just the barrel, I live with it...
