New to me JR Carbine's bolt gets stuck after firing couple of rounds. It gets stuck in the middle of it's travel and it takes huge amount of force to even move it. After I dissemble the uper, take the bolt out, put more lube- it is tight but slides back and forth fine. After reassembly- same thing. Couple of rounds and stop. Previous owner, who I trust, said he never had any issues with it. Any ideas?

Some of you have seen my other post on longer range rifle for Ironman; likely for 2016. So, I'm interested in seeing what a realistic and competitive gear set would be for that, even if I lose my senses and think about Trooper division. Looks like more competitive Trroper shooters use pistol carbines. If you were going to Ironman to shoot Trooper. What Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) would you bring in 2016 and why? Would you convert existing AR-16 receivers you have on hand? Would you buy the new JP buy once and cry once? What about a JP GMR upper on a QC10 lower? Perhaps an entirely different solution? And what about optics on top? 1x only (EOtech or Aimpoint styles)? Or a good 1-4x where we know it will live almost all the time at 1x with slight magnification dial up in a copuple of places.? (I have one handy, so I'm asking) How "big" a feature is bolt hold open at the end of a magazine? I imagine it matters on the clock, but I haven't used a PCC before. Yes, I'd need to train my body extensively for next year. Yes, I need to get in lots of shooting drills and practice. I understand all of that. However, I'm not well informed on the PCC market, so I'm asking for help.I shoot a M&P pistol in Open/Unlimited. I don't have any investment in Glock magazines. Thanks in advance for not laughing me off the boards for this. I'm also open to all sorts of Trooper recommendations big and small. If you think this thread isn't the best place then just message me directly with what you want to say. Thank you again, Mike

Hey everyone! First, let me say I wasn't sure exactly where the right place to put this topic is, so to the moderators if this is in the wrong section of the forum please move it wherever it should be. Now, the reason I'm posting this thread is to discuss an idea that I've had for a while now. For years I've loved the idea of a race gun - lightweight, fast, powerful, accurate. Tuned machines that combine form and function to produce masterpieces of engineering and art. In addition, for nearly as long I've had a passion for AR-type and similar platforms, but in particular I really honestly am enthralled with the relatively recent trend of manufacturers releasing pistol versions of their well-known rifles and carbines. I recently acquired a new Sig Sauer P516 AR pistol, chambered in 5.56 with 7.5" barrel, and it has quickly and without question established itself as my current favorite gun. The reason I'm explaining all of this is because I only recently had a laughably strange thought, that has snowballed into a serious curiosity... Would it be possible to build an Open division race gun out of a pistol-caliber carbine-based pistol? I have one specific in mind - The new Sig MPX-P, a new proprietary platform developed by Sig, modular in design and available in a pistol variant. Here are some of the most important specs of the platform, if you're interested in reading about it more thoroughly please head over to Sig's product page (I would post a link but can't yet); - Chambered in 9mm, .40S&W or .357SIG - 8 inch barrel - 10, 20, and 30 round mags available - Side-folding stock with AR buffer tube and pistol stabilizing brace is removable (and would be removed for my purposes) Now, a quick disclaimer before I get laughed off the forum - I'm not insane. I am in NO WAY expecting a giant six or seven pound rifle-pistol to be competitive with and stand a chance of beating a highly-tuned, featherweight 2011. If winning was my goal, I'd be thinking about an STI or similar, a traditional more compact handgun. All I want to accomplish with this build would be to simply have some fun, do something differently than everyone else, and end up with a unique, enjoyable oddball of a pistol for my collection. As for more specifically which competitions set of Open Division regulations I wanted to frame my build within, another long-time favorite came to mind - Action Pistol/The Bianchi Cup. Much to my delight, after reading through the official rulebook for AP, I found there are nearly no limitations set on Open Division pistols. In fact the gist of my understanding of regulations for AP Open is "If it's safe, and it shoots at least a 9mm or bigger, you're good to go.". Not only that but I've always loved the brute, raw functionality of the open division guns - with raw blocks of metal on either side of the barrel shroud as barricade wings, tubular red dots, compensators, grip tape plastered all over the gun. That's the style in which I would like to modify an MPX. So, with everything I've just said, I'd like to hear from the experienced AP Open division shooters about this idea. When commenting, PLEASE keep in mind that I am NOT thinking I can slap a red dot and a couple wings on the the rails of this massive "pistol" and have even the slimmest chance at beating a race gun that's been designed, engineered and manufactured from the ground up, three times over, to win an Open Division title in AP. All I really need to know is if I've missed anything that would specifically bar the use of such a pistol-caliber carbine-pistol as the MPX-P? Everything I was able to get my hands on regarding the rules of the various divisions in AP/Bianchi would seem to imply that in the Open Division, truly anything that's safe is allowed to run. Is that a correct understanding? Lastly, before anyone says it, I know I'd have significant problems with finding a workable holster for the platform, just set aside that concern for now. Please post comments, thoughts, questions, etc. - Constructive criticism is always welcome, as long as it is constructive. Thank you all in advance!

This coming Saturday following our regular USPSA match consisting of Four Stages including a Classifier we will hold a rifle match. For those of you with rifles that want to have extra fun - We are going to shoot the stages with our AR's after the regular match is finished and we convert the stages to rifle only targets. We hope this to become a regular event that will take the place of the hole left from the missing Tactical Carbine Defense Match. This will also serve as great practice to get ready for the upcoming 3-Gun Season. Since this is the Inaugural Match - We are going to take some time to do it right. Registration will begin at 3:00pm and Shooting will start at 4:00pm. We are planning on shooting a squadded match, using time-plus faults for scoring, and Practiscore for results. Please come out and support this match if you want this to continue on a regular basis. Your input is desired on how this match develops and if it will continue past 3-Gun season. Please spread the word and tell your friends. Thanks -
Feb 28th-March 2nd, 2014 $600 - 3 day course | students provide their own ammo: 1250rds, 250rds pistol Contact Cat@cccshooters.com or 214-422-7793 www.ccctactical.com Course Description: An entry-level course where students are familiarized with their rifles. The class will thoroughly cover: • Proper choice and placement of gear • Different optics and accessories • Effective shooting stance • Proper weapon grip • Recoil control • Sight alignment • Sight picture using iron sights and electronic optics • Trigger control • Speed reloads • Tactical reloads • Possible malfunctions of the rifle • Strong and weak hand shooting while both stationary and on the move • Different shooting positions • Choosing the proper position for the task The course starts in the classroom and will include extensive dry fire exercises. Hardware/Kit A functional carbine or submachine gun chambered in 5.56x45, 5.45x39 or 7.62x39mm or standard pistol caliber weapon systems. If available, a spare weapon system is also an excellent idea. A cleaning kit and tools that are compatible with the weapon system(s) in question is also a must. Each student should have a minimum of 5 working magazines. Sometimes magazines will make it in your dump bag and sometimes they won't. If they hit the ground they can become fouled, causing weapon malfunctions and time off the line. • Note pad, and pen/pencil • Clothing suited to strenuous type activity as well as being seasonally appropriate • Appropriate foot wear • Rain gear / cold weather gear (seasonal) • Ear pro (electronic preferred) • Eye pro, which wraps around • Clear lenses for night shoots • Baseball style hat recommended • Primary weapon sling, single point, or a good system that allows flexibility for transitions and reaction side weapon manipulations • A rig that can carry a minimum of four (4) primary magazines on your person • Functioning secondary weapon system, and three working magazines • A holster and magazine pouch that will retain your equipment when moving • Primary weapon mounted light • Secondary weapon mounted or handheld light • Spare bulbs and batteries for all lights • Tools that work on your weapon • Weapons lube • Optics will require adjustment tools and spare batteries • Water hydrating device • Knee and Elbow pads (optional) -
What are the merits of each of these options and which one do you feel wins? I've read that the A2 front sight post is the more "reliable" option. I've also read that if your barrel does not have the correct dimples then you don't have the "low profile gas block under free float handguard" option.
