Prove it! I want pictures!! Video evidence. Until then....it didn't happen!!! Just quoting you, back to you. I think that statement was made somewhere near the GA border on the 10 hour ride to the FL Open this year. Thought I forgot, huh? For the record, we were specifically discussing the reloading forum in regards to evidence of load data versus accuracy. However, the target is available for viewing at the indoor airsoft range (aka garage).

You forgot to tell him no FTEs on the first stage of the match.

are you saying a Dawson sight works with this airsoft? Which one? The stock front sight is .140" tall. I got the Dawson .160"T x .100"W fiber optic insert (Dawson part# 019-118). A tad taller and narrower to better match my Limited sight picture. Obviously tolerances aren't as tight on the airsoft, so I didn't need to do any fitting like I normally would. A small drop of red loctite and tightened the set screw. It took two minutes to install. I benchrested afterwards and POI is 3/4" above POA at 25' with no adjustment to the rear adjustable sight from the factory setting. After one magazine, I had a 1" group with two fliers. The group was centered horizontally.

Got the Dawson FO front sight today. Slides in no problem. Couldn't have asked for better.

I'm a lefty so I looked at this. The inside of the frame where the mag release is, is covered by a plastic shield held in by two small screws. I would think after removing that shield there would be a way. However, the magazines are only notched on one side. Even if you did flip the mag release you would have to grind a notch in the mag for the release to catch on. I'm sure I will eventualy look more closely to see if the mag release can be flipped. I failed to mention accuracy earlier. Right out of the box, it was hitting point of aim. It has the hop up adjustment under the barrel, but I haven't needed to touch anything (hop up or sights). I have no idea how accurate airsofts are supposed to be, but I have no problem hitting a 4" square plate at 30'.

I have them all over my garage. No doubt BBs will still be turning up decades from now. LOL

Maksim, Thanks for the quick turnaround on the airsoft. To those inquiring, The picture he posted above was exactly what I had ordered. Gun, extra mag, loader and cartridges. Might even have been mine before he shipped it. :-) I was travelling last week and finally had a chance to play with this over the weekend. Identical from a grip and draw standpoint. Drops right into my Blade-tech DOH. Weight and balance to the real thing is also very close with the magazine insterted. Removeable front sight (matches the non-FO front that came on the real gun). Already ordered a Dawson FO front. With the standard adjustable rear, the sight picture will match my real set up as well. The trigger is not in the same league, but better than other airsofts I have felt. The take up is tight, with very little pre-travel. I woudn't classify the trigger as crisp, but it does actually "break". Plenty good enough for it to be a useful dryfire training tool. By comparison I have a very good Henning trigger job with flat trigger. I estimate that each CO2 cartridge lasts roughly 100-150 shots. I would highly recommend this if you are considering dry fire as a training method.

As ROs, have we come to a concensus on what the ruling should be? In the opinion of the ROs posting here, is it significant advantage or is it not?

Elminating gray areas and ambiguity in rule making and rule enforcement is an elementary concept.

+1 on the Redding carbide G-Rx. Mine is set up in a Rock Chucker. My own brass passes through easily while others (I assume Glock, but have no way of knowing) have a fair amount of resistance.

Something else to consider. The RO did not know the squib bullet did not exit the barrel. Was not aware of the squib either. Evidence "after" unload show clear can be used to issue a FTE or FTSA?

On the last target of a CoF a shooter has a squib and stops himself. The gun was pointing at the final target and the trigger was pulled. Bullet was indeed lodged in the barrel. No bullet holes on the target. Is the final target scored: 1. 2 Mike? or 2. 2 Mike, 1 FTE? Please cite the rules you feel apply.

Glad to know you feel that way. Now what is your real name and USPSA number? If you have nothing to hide, then hide nothing.

There are a large number of folks that load past 1.125. Use the search function. Tons of information.

I've had no-shoots show up in final results as procedurals. At a major no less. They are both minus 10, so there is no change in the results.

Are these posts related?

Email from Eric last week. Trying to get the U.S. version released to coincide with the SHOT show. When available you can buy from him, but product will be shipped from within the U.S. to avoid customs, shipping, etc, etc. I inquired about pre-ordering, but nothing back yet.

Is the small frame Stock II legal for USPSA? Approved weight in the Production gun list is 44oz. I would have thought there would be more than 2oz difference between large and small frames. update: just noticed the small frame Stck II is listed as 1180g (41.6oz). How does that work with same model in 2 different frames regading gun approval?

Many folks on here recommend GregCote for the K40s.

Have you disassembled the Redding seater and cleaned it? New dies appear to come with that same goop new guns are covered in. Both in 9 and 40, new/uncleaned dies had a larger variation than after I cleaned them. In the last 7500 rounds my average OAL standard deviation is .0014".

Isn't it H141O, not H-1410? I thought the O designated Open Division.

My MG 180gr and 165gr FMJ are flat nose. They feed fine.
