Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. A much younger Brian in the middle as the winner of MB stock gun in 1990. I won the OSS PIn and BCBC. I will bet Brian had a Second Chance Commemorative like this as well. Still have it #065 out of 100. You could turn it in the next year for a full card, I never had the Heart to do it. Many people have heard of Ken Tapp 2nd from left. He told us he practiced Pins so much he shot from a chair and his wife reset the pins! Jerry Barnhart and myself both won full auto paint ball guns. We used them with another old time IPSC guy Jim Blevins to wipe out a regular team of six Ambulance drivers. Jerry could get a little intense! Cool to see it is coming back, it used to get a little crazy up there. David
  2. I would have a local smith check for barrel lock up for a start. The firing pin hits are quit a bit off center which can effect timing. With the hammer at rest there should be tension against the firing pin retainer plate. Some trigger jobs require the mainspring cap to have a slight notch where it hits the retainer pin allowing more pressure against the firing pin holding it in longer. Some longer struts are available as well. Firing pin diameter and length are critical as well as mentioned in previous posts. Small rifle primers are a must in my opinion, I always run Winchester. These are things I learned back in the 175 power factor days.
  3. I had two of my own ranges in the past. One was in a retired gravel pit and I could leave some equipment set up without having to move everything all the time. I would recommend going larger if you are able. I kept a plate rack, pepper poppers, a couple of walls, barricade, a few shooting boxes, table to work off of and a swinger. It takes a while to build and aquire some of the things however if you stick with it you will. I would for sure go min. 25 yards deep.
  4. I have done this in a .22 with a case stuck so tight other methods would not work. I took a round nose lead bullet and tapped it in to the muzzle and tapped it through with a brass rod until it hit the brass in the chamber and popped it right out.
  5. Glad to hear some shooters still like Pro Grip. It is a safe Silica based product. It is not an anti perspirant based product like many out there. It does have an alcohol carrier like all the rest and that is why some places will not ship by air. In the early 1990s a sample pack of a product was given out at the Nationals and I really liked how it worked. I tried to get more and found it could no longer be imported because some of the ingredients were not safe. Pro Grip bonds to the natural oil in your skin and it can transfer to objects with oil on them. Most transfer happens when the product is over applied and only so much can be held on by your natural skin oils. When I first showed it at the Nationals in 1995 people were worried about the magazines, most realized that if they saw any it was outside not inside a magazine, however I put some in my magazines and left the vendor tent to shoot the 48 round standards with 18 shots being at 50 yards, Rob and I tied for the stage win down 1 point. If remotely worried about magazines I would not use chalk or rosin bags. To keep Pro Grip from getting to thick always shake before use and always close the top. When we brought out Mag Slick in 1999 some people were worried about their magazines that were already working as well. I gave some out and said clean your reloading press and see how much longer it runs between cleanings. Thank You for using our products and shoot well, David
  6. To keep powder residue from sticking to your shell plate, powder bar, primer bar etc degrease, and clean then spray with Mag Slick. you can lightly buff it off or leave it coated. The press will run longer between cleanings. sl9oo users cosat the primer tray and buff off like a wax to make primers slide easier.
  7. My 1050 is all original and was when they first came out and had a Nickel frame, the instructions were type writer written, and they had the same warranty as all Dillon products printed right in the manual. I stopped shooting in 1999 and it sat until I started again in 2015 when the case feeder motor quit because the old grease was hardened. I drilled the rivets out split the gearbox open and put in new grease and it is still running not modified. I shot twenty to thirty thousand rounds a year out of that loader. The warranty was taken away because they were being used commercially.
  8. My bad. My super mags feed lips are a little narrower in the front. My Wison 9mm run .332 to ..335 in the rear and .338 to .340 In the front.
  9. I just read back that it is a 9 mm. The feed lips on the mag should be narrower at the front than the rear. I can measure some if you want the dimensions.
  10. Make sure the magazine release is not pushing in to far. They can go to far and the magazine can rub on the opposite side of the mag release from the catch. If you put in a lighter spring it might be compressing farther than before allowing it to rub. You can make a little pin to fit inside the spring to keep it from going as far or get a longer mag release screw/pin. Also make sure magazines are not rubbing on the new Mag Well. You can take out the mag release and make sure they drop free and remove the mag well. The top round in a mag walking forward is not uncommon however if it is so far to hang in the gun that is a problem. I would try a friends magazines and see if they drop free.
  11. they work fine. I still have some in use on a 1050 and 550 from the 90s.
  12. When the Scheumann barrel first came out I remember seeing guys at the Nationals trying them out with out the compensator around the mid 1990s by memory. I do not believe they were even made for a comp at that time. It seems like it was before the red dot started however I could be wrong on that.
  13. I have used a small parts washing tank like shown above full of low order mineral spirits since the 80s. Break down the gun in a little pan set it in the tank with the nozzle flooding the pan for a few minutes then brush the parts and rinse a little, drain the pan and blow off the parts with an air hose over a garbage can. Swab the bore a little and use your favorite oil. Very fast and the spirits last a long time, you do not get the buzz like Brake Kleen though!
  14. Take the slide off and put the slide stop back in the frame, then insert the slide stop back in the frame. Slowly insert a loaded magazine next and see how close the bullet heads are to the slide stop. If they are touching it will knock the slide stop up, sometimes if it is real close when firing the round can move around enough to bump. Sometimes you can see copper or lead on the slide stop where the rounds are hitting. You can reprofile the slide stop and still have it function or try different a different profile bullet. Most of the time it is not a problem with round nose.
  15. On the advice of my friend i just ordered non electronic defend ear from hearing doc. Prime canidate for hearing aids. Electronics on outside only is the recomended. The non electronic defend ears are molded then coated in a thin softer coating that is easier to install and keeps a better seal than my silicone molded. He advised wearing as thick of a hat as I can stand. They wear helmets on a flight deck to prevent hearing loss from vibration through the skull. I have a strong non stop buzzing in my ears, I hear it over a radio and voices bad. But the best hearing protection you can afford. Defend Ears were 185.00
