When does the 2019 edition of this awesome match begin it's registration?

I will be an RO at Talladega. Should be a good match. See you there...

Yes, the match will happen. I'm looking forward to my first Clinton House experience... see y'all there.

SMD is not involved according to Larry Goedhart, MD for all 3GN Regionals this year. This is from the 3GN Regional Series page... About the 3GN Regional Series The 3-Gun Nation Regional Series, capped with 3GN Nationals, is a series of major matches for the 3GN membership.

I had trouble with a Mega on a stage at 3GN Nationals. It fed about 10 rounds and then had issues. Later that night I worked on the bottom of the Glock mag a bit more and played around with feeding (pushing the rounds out with my thumb) with different amounts of rounds. I found I needed to "slam" or "knock" the rounds down occasionally as I was loading them to get to a larger quantity that would "feed" properly. It seemed to settle the rounds and I was able to get 50 rounds to work the next day. Have not tried since... I'm wondering if it is ammo related. I shoot 147gr. FP blue bullets around 1.135" long. Maybe something shorter or with a different bullet profile might work better. What ammo are you trying to use with the Mega? What about others that are having issues?

This was my first 3GN Nationals.I worked as an RO on stage 6 with A.J. and Chris. We got to shoot in the rain and mud before everyone else got there plus spend a few days enjoying the cool Virginia temperatures while running squads.I may not have shot that well but I learned a few things about stage planning, met several interesting people, and really enjoyed the match.

Have you tried it with the stock hammer spring and the JP trigger spring?

I've picked up the P4xi... waiting on a mount to arrive now. Looking forward to a little magnification as compared to my Spitfire AR.

Mine sheared off too. I emailed them on a Friday evening and had a prepaid postage label printed out on Monday. Please have have your order number ready to give them. I received another bolt quickly after sending mine back. Spinta told me they had changed how those screws are staked. Big improvement over the original.

Thanks for the update, Mike. Looking forward to your version of the Rockcastle Pro/Am. Already started gathering ammo... Ed

They are legal. Taccom has even renamed them a "splice" to help eliminate confusion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I enjoyed the match too. Nice mix of stages and I liked the simple scoring. I looked for the next 5th Saturday on my way home and set a reminder in my calendar. Can't think of any suggestions for improvement other than trying to keep the barrels in place. The water sounds good in case we run out of what we bring.

At what age does the senior category start? I'm already having senior moments so I could be there.

I measured 0.6255 on mine.

Pro registration is on Practiscore. It will still be first come first served, so be ready when it opens up. Linda has the link in the post above.

Working with David was great... I would not turn down an opportunity to RO a stage with him. I just hope he doesn't hurt his knee right before the match this year.

Shooting the match and working as an RO on AM3 last year was a blast. Already reached to Mike for this year. Looking forward to August and another fun time at Rockcastle.

I saw a video that had the longer mag down and the shorter mag up. They had reversed the springs to keep the spring joint from passing over the mag joint. Tim, have you seen these used in configurations with the short and long mags in both orientations, up and down? If so, have you experienced any issues with the spring joint passing the mag joint? I've got your coupler and I'm trying to figure out how I want to assemble it. Sounds like my 22 round ETS is out.

Time is getting short...

I shot my first 3 gun match with a 9mm Citadel 1911 and had a failure on the third stage. I went to slide lock with one target left. I inserted a full magazine and hit the slide release. The bottom plate came off of the mag and the spring, follower, and eight rounds of 9mm hit the ground. Armscor replaced the magazine but the original mags are now just used for loading Barney rounds. I have only used Wilson ETM mags in matches since then and have not had any more problems.

Please provide enough contrast... I'm planning on shooting irons at this point, unless someone wants to provide me with a scope and mount.

I just ordered a 26" version from Bud's. They accepted an offer of $402. Too late for the rebate but still a good price.
