Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Barracuda

    Glock Gen 5

    +1 Sights are the most personal preference part of a handgun, so why would Glock spend time and money developing "quality" sights when over half (and I think I'm being conservative) of owners will change them out anyway?
  2. I'm looking into 5" 2.0, and y'all are making it really hard for me to put it off any longer. Can y'all tell me if the 5" 2.0 is compatible with 5" Pro holsters? I have a Bladetech Speed Rig for a 5" Pro that I'm hoping will work.
  3. Hiperfire 24C here. Excellent trigger with almost no pre-travel and very short reset. Looking into the Rise Armament 535 also just to see how it compares.
  4. I'm looking for a good pair of shooting glasses that fit my Asian face. I currently have a pair of Asian Fit Oakley Scalpels that I like, but it's no longer made so I can't get any replacement lenses for it. Looking at the Rudy Project Rydons. Can anybody tell me how they fit or can recommend a pair that might suit my needs?
  5. Both a mil-spec safety from an LPK and a BAD-ASS LW Ambi Safety Selector (both 90 degree throws) have worked with my 24C. Running a Battle Arms Development Lightweight receiver set if that carries any weight.
  6. What grit sandpaper are y'all using to polish your magazine tubes? Also, I'm getting some surface rust on my barrel. What's the best way to remove it? WD-40? White vinegar? Has anybody cerakoted or refinished their barrels to remedy this? Thanks
  7. I bought the cheapest receiver set I could find (Anderson forged, $80 for the set) for a pistol build. Compared to my Spike's lower/BCM upper (which I would consider high quality companies) I built my first rifle on, the only difference is the roll mark. Pick the roll mark you like best and go with it. My 3-gun rifle built on a Battle Arms Development lightweight receiver set is billet and on a whole other level, but it was also $500. Billet can be had for cheap though. Aim Surplus has Noreen Firearms billet receiver sets for $89.95 (currently sold out) and the lowers for $38.95 (in stock). It's 6061 aluminum, but 99% of people won't truly be affected by the difference. Aim also has Royal Arms billet lowers that are 7075 for $99.95 (currently sold out).
  8. Dammit, it sounds like I need some finer grit sandpaper. I just have a regular M3000 that's run very well thus far. It does tend to be less reliable with the lighter loads, but that can be said for many M3000s and inertia guns. I thought it'd run reliably with Winchester AAs (2 3/4 dram, 1 1/8 oz., 1145fps), but again too light.
  9. Finally getting around to polishing my magazine tube. For those that have done it, are y'all wet sanding or dry sanding? Tom, I know you recommend wet sanding with WD-40 or something similar, right? Got an assortment of 60, 100, 150, and 220 grit sandpaper. Are y'all applying anything to the tube after you finish polishing it?
  10. I have one on my M3K and like it a lot. I had a sore cheek the first time I shot the gun, but I adjusted the shims and added the pad and now the gun is much more comfortable to shoot. One thing to keep in mind is that they are not the most durable things. After one 3Gun match mine was starting to get torn up from the gun getting dumped in boxes/barrels. I wasn't throwing it down either, just setting it down fast. I still dig them, but just an fyi. Did you do the 3/16th thickness or something else? I have the 3/16th one, but I think I might peel it off and go with the 1/2" one instead. I have a 1/4" and it's great. At first, I thought it was too thick, but after putting it on and running it I love it. My cheek definitely appreciates it.
  11. http://www.recoilweb.com/ironman-3-gun-first-junior-female-trooper-2-70179.html Using an MOA M3000. Well done, Tom.
  12. Look at TTI'S video on the benelli extended bolt release replacement. It's the same as the m3000.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Much appreciated. TheTacticalBay actually has a video using the M3000 for the install.
  13. Can anybody guide me through taking out the bolt release button/catch?
  14. Still need to clean up the front a bit, but going to put it back together and see how it loads.
  15. I actually broke my pair of snap ring pliers taking the cap out. Granted, they were a shitty pair of pliers, but it did the job...barely. It took a combination of compressing the cap as hard as I could while pulling up and wiggling it back and forth. Easily the most annoying part of working on my M3000 to date.
