I recently had a 308 built I had the same question with similar answers so I split the difference and went 1:111/4 .

I'm interested in the broad magnification range on the March scopes ,but I have questions. Where can you get one ? Anyone have any expierience with them good bad ? where are they made ?
-
Well I appreciate the help I normally buy 24lbs at a time ,so this was the first I noticed.I guess I'll be good for the next 24lbs until I need to recheck.

Jugs vary, my current jug takes 4.8gr behind a 180gr lead bullet at 1.180 to make 175PF.
Have to stay on top of your chronoing.

I've ran solo 1000 behind lead bullets for the past two years 4.4grs at 1.135 and it made 169-171pf.This last lot of powder I bought is taking a great deal more to make major . Has anyone else had this problem ? Is it abad batch ? Does it generally vary this much lot to lot ? I've emailed the manufacturer , but they didn't reply . Now I'm asking the people.

I use e3 in my two limited guns 3.6 grs 1.130 makes 170pf in my edge and 168pf in my sti ipsc anniversary with 180 gr bullets.I love the way it feels but have had trouble with it melting the bases of lead bullets so unless i'm gonna clean after every couple hundred rds I only use it with jacketed or coated bullets. The only coated bullets that I've had hold up to it were bayou bullets. But i'm sure barrels will be different

my fiance tried to put pics up but had trouble still trying for those interested i know i can email them

I'd also love to see some pics--the stuff he has on his web-site is pretty neat.
If its not too much of a thread drift, I'd also like to hear from some more guys about your experience with slide lightening--there seems to be two camps. Did you like it? Did it change the feel of the gun?
I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE CHANGE THE GUN CYCLES MUCH FASTER A LITTLE MORE FELT RECOIL BUT FLATTER

I WILL SEE IF MY FIANCE CAN DO IT FOR ME I'M NOT THAT COMPUTER LITERATE BUT I'LL TRY

I just bought an almost new Sti Edge in 40. My old Edge is in good condition. It is equipped as follows. Bull Barrel, Adjustable Sights, Fiber Optic Front Sight, Tungsten Guide Rod (heavy), 13 lb Variable recoil Spring, Dawson Ice Mag Well, 1.75 lb trigger, extended mag release with Brazos Button. Are there other things I should do to this gun to make it into the ultimate limited gun?
Mods I am considering: Remove the fat from the slide, lighten the slide. How much and who should I get to do it?
All mods should be functional, it don't matter what it looks like, and lets think outside the wallet, we will worry about the cost later. The gun has always run 100% and is more accurate than I will ever be, and lets pretend that I have the ability to shoot the gun at its full potential.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Bubba - I'd have to disagree with you on the slide being too fat. I have an Edge (Dawson HPF) as well as an SV with a lightened slide. I've also shot a Brazos with a shortened dust cover. My preference is to shoot that Fat Boy its just easier for me to control. A light slide will make it feel snappy you can do that by just making a poor powder choice. You can adjust the feel of the gun a lot with recoil spring selection. Slide lighting isn't reversable, and affects how the gun feels during shooting.

I have identical (as close as you can make them) 5" and 6" guns in both 40 and 9mm. Built by the same gunsmith, Benny Hill, and with the same components with only the front sight width being slightly different to allow for the extra length and still present the same sight picture.
If it were not for the fact I shoot IDPA as well as USPSA the 5" guns would have a new owner.......
For me, at my skill level and whatever other intangibles figure into the equation, the 6" is superior in all regards.
No minuses and many pluses for the 6" gun............ For me.
My .02 = Buy a gun and start shooting.
I have two 5 inch sti guns my primary is a edge that gary at gans guns removed a lot of material from the slide with an 11lb spring. my back up is a sti anniversary model (same as the legend )I love my edge. I have shot 6 in guns and see no constant advantage as most uspsa targets are close. Nobody can tell what will work best for you but you so good luck and hope you find what you're looking for.

But on second thought I may give them another look if the service is that good .But I'm sure I want it lightened my other sti has only a 2oz lighter slide and to me it shoots better cycles faster.

Gary at Gans does a great job of trimming the fat. I've seen a number of nice looking one of a kinds done by Matt Cheely but the guy at LimCat can make it look like some kind of alien space gun truely an artist.
All of my open guns have 9-10oz slides but its a different technology, but no cool alien space look.
Thanks for the tip I sent the gun to gans about a month ago . I had it back in one week from shipment he did an awesome job. Service was better than any where I've done gun bussiness with I would recommend him to anybody needing a related service
-
Hello: A quick way to make it lighter is by tri-topping the slide. It removes alot of material without the holes you don't want. Thanks, Eric

Blake Miguez and his father Steve both use them. The only way I've ever seen them used was with bolens parts . I was wondering if anyone did anything different
-
Is that 22 reloadable ?
Yup they fit the gauge. I've only tried the 3mm Bolen basepads, but others have manage to file a little bit of the back of the basepad and use a 4mm pad. With Bolen springs & followers I still get 22 rounds in mine, so it's all good!

I say pimp your gat negative attention is still attention . I also believe no one should ever see your carry gun .
I showed my dad these handgrips and he told me that if I got them I would look like a "pimp with his gat". Now I don't think they give that impression, but I would like the opinion of others. If I buy them they will be going on a Springfield 1911 GI which is used primarily as my CCW. So what do you think?

I was wondering what is the highest capacity anyone is getting from the rescomp mags ? What springs , followers ,and base pads were used ? Will they fit in a mag gauge ?

I don't care how snappy it is I can reverse slide lightening with recoil springs I like the way my glock feels just can't deal with the trigger.I've spoke with the guy at gans but I found everything they do to limited guns typical if they would cut it like they do the open guns I woud be in.Holes and gills are out the question .

Does anyone have contact info for Salient Arms specialising in Glock work? I like the look of the slide lighting work they have done, and would like to have it done on my 24.
