Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Are the hammer and trigger springs from a M2 interchangeable with the Nova/Super Nova? I’d like to use reduced power springs so if they aren’t interchangeable where’s a source for some? Another question, I’m sure some of you have played with the radius on the bottom of the bolt. Is there anything “slicker” or “more better” than just cleaning it up and polishing the cocking slot/hammer raceway? @kurtm?
  2. You'll be a couple hundred ahead and have a better product if you buy a regular M2 Field and send it to Accurate Iron for the full meal deal.
  3. Check out Rhino Arms, they've got what your looking for. I played with some at the Pro Am last week and liked em so much I bought a receiver set and trigger.
  4. Jesse, did you ever get enough to make a Heavy Scope class? I'm sending in an app this week and want to bring the 308.
  5. So I was at a match today, 3GN Club Series, and a shooter on my squad shot a paper rifle target at about 10yds and knocked over a Popper with the shoot through, what's the call? Match DQ for engaging steel with rifle too close, stage DQ, just a penalty for FTE on the Popper since it was to be engaged with pistol, or no penalty and tell him he was lucky? I've never seen this kind of shoot through happen before and I'm asking so that when/if it ever happens to me I'll know what to do.
  6. rngunner, yes a factory Benelli 9rd tube for the Vinci will work on the Super Vinci. Over here its impossible to get one imported so we had to wait till somebody decided it was worth making an aftermarket tube.
  7. Lets figure out that FRE equation you provided.If we assume a limited gun weighing 38 oz, 180gr bullet at 175pf, we get 4.237 ft/lb. Add 3oz onto the weight of the gun, and we get 3.927 ft/lb. That's a ~7.5% decrease in kinetic energy. That's only for a free recoiling firearm. ie, one that isn't being held. Yes, the lighter gun will have more kinetic energy after a given distance traveled than the heavy gun, in the same way the lighter can has more kinetic energy than the heavy can at the same height. But you're there to hold the gun, so the energy is transferred into you instead. We're still just changing the way the energy (recoil) is felt. Not to mention, this is just calculating F.R.E. based on the total weight of the gun. So you had better hang your 12oz can of paint from the grip so the recoil is "less", it'll work better than the tungsten barrel. Or: If the recoil is "less" where did that energy go if not into your hands? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy Seems to me that 3oz of additional mass decreased the rearward momentum by 0.31ft/lb before it was transferred into my hands by your calculations, thank's.
  8. I didn't have enough time to go get my Bachelors so I just Googled it. http://www.saami.org/PubResources/GunRecoilFormulae.pdf
  9. Seriously!? I don't have a whole lot of edumacation but I know I can't send a paint can full of sand near as far into the air with a M-80 as I can when it's empty, just sayin.
  10. Just an FYI, we did have a young man shooting open with a pump gun on squad 17. I shot open last year just so I didn't have to load my shotgun and this year I shot Am because it required more loading and I felt it was more challenging.
  11. +1 on what Kurt and Mark said. Awesome, Great and Friendly match. A huge Thank You to the folks at Hornady, Heartland Shooting Park and the town of Grand Island for an exceptional match. And another HUGE Thank You to all the sponsors that donated. This was our second year shooting this match and I can tell you all that this match is responsible for introducing many good people to the sport of 3gun. Congratulations to every one involved with this match for helping grow our sport, and Thank You! Jeff, if you'd have shot the match you might have realized there was an RO overseeing the Pre Load plus a couple more ROs, scorekeeper, Sqaud Wrangler and other competitors watching the shooting. So yeah I'm pretty sure mag capacity got checked, but you wouldn't have noticed.
  12. Deleted for Kharma's sake.
