Nah, I wasn't on track for a stage win. I was struggling with trigger freeze a lot. Probably would have been 85-90%.

That was an unlucky malf. I hadn't cleaned or removed the extractor in 15k rounds. Only maintenance I did was infrequently wipe out the inside of the upper receiver and the bcg with cleaner, then re-lube. Fouling had started to build up around the extractor causing the tension to lessen. I did check the tension prior to the match, but only with my finger, not a casing, so I didn't realize how much build up there was in the crevices. Normally that jam should have been a stovepipe, but the casing of course made its way back into the upper and got lodged above the feeding round. That required a very firm pull of the charging handle and removal of the mag to get loose. Also just my luck it happened on a 120 point 7 second stage. So a 7 second jam doubles my time and puts me at ~ 50% or 60 stage points lost. Literally on any other stage it wouldn't have had such a large effect on my score. Keep in mind too that Lyn was running the same gun the same day and had no problems. JP also said that they tightened the tolerances on extractor fitment for the production guns. That might even be them being overly cautious. Just add an extractor removal and cleaning every 5k to the maintenance protocol.

Their triggers are terrific feeling with the perfect over travel stops and pre-travel adjustments done. But for reliability with rifle primers (and keeping a good reset force at the same time) you really need to be in the above 3.5 lb range in my experience.

The toggle springs in Hiperfires interfere. Large cartridges interfere (AR Gold/Timney DH 3-Gun, Triggertech). CMC "cartridge" interferes stock but I made it fit with a pair of tin snips by cutting the extra metal above the pins. Good budget option imo, very underrated trigger. Advertised 3.5 lbs but in reality they pull 2.5-3 lbs with little break in. Timney calvin elite does install because the housing is small, but didn't work well. It pulls at 1.25-1.5 lbs with a decent reset force (more than AR Gold). When first installed I thought it was the dream trigger, I was able to get 0.07-0.08 splits on demand, and even the occasional 0.06 (shown by AMG labs timer, not exactly how it's calculated. Could it have been a 0.69 split rounded down? Idk). After about 500 rounds it started bursting uncontrollably. I didn't try it with a much heavier hammer spring. Might be something to look into. Geissele SD3G has been flawless. Pulls at 2.25 lbs with over 1lb reset force. Toss up between this and ECL in my opinion, but in blowbacks the SD3G doesn't work well. Never used it in blowback because the system is too violent and Geisseles burst too easily. JP5 is very nice to triggers in my experience so far. .10 splits on demand is easy.

How are you getting an ECL in a JP5?

Five words: Geissele SD-3G

The next one is December 3-5 2021. Search "Cobalt" on practiscore or go here: https://practiscore.com/2021-psl-2-gun-championship-by-cobalt-kinetics/register 2022 hasn't been scheduled yet.

Search for "Warner Valley Rd and 4700 E". It is an intersection just to the right of the Southern Pkwy Highway to the east of the SGU airport. From that intersection, you head south on 4700 E (the access road that runs parallel to the Southern Pkwy) and you STAY LEFT THE ENTIRE WAY. The road will curve left as you near the UT-AZ border, and it literally takes you right to the gate, where the only other option will be to cross the border into AZ.

Not at SUPS. I'm the range contact

No, it'll be minor all guns and divisions. No chrono either.

I don't plan on ever having loaded rifles slung. A few stages will require you to start with an empty (and cleared during make ready) rifle slung.

Suppressors will be allowed in any division on the carbines, but not handgun.

yes. my plan right now is to either shoot staff match, or shoot stages prior to staff match to vet them, and remove my scores from the match so I can act as RM as well.
