  1. Borescopes are cheap these days.  $46 on Amazon.  I have one and it does an adequate job, especially for less than Fifty bucks.  However, prepare to be sad when you look at your rifle barrels.  The posted photo looks just like video from the one I own.

  2. I would recommend carrying a RED Sharpie in your shirt pocket.  Dot goes out, whip out the Sharpie and put a red dot in the middle of the lens and carry on.

     

    I would also recommend putting a good sized glob of Permatex 25228 "Right Stuff" gasket maker between your red dot, the mount, and your gun when installing it.  Anybody who has ever tried taking off a differential or valve cover installed with "Right Stuff" will know what I mean, your red dot ain't goin' flyin' off!

  3. Modern math?

    Really?  That's what you guys think we need to discuss on BE Forums?  The same plac that has for years been used as a reference point for shooters and people who want to learn about shooting, including youngsters?

     

    I am by no means a prude, but that crap is 8th grade stuff . . . .  grow up!

     

    I believe there is a famous quote that goes something like "I do not think it means what you think it means." If you think I meant something other than exactly what I posted, that's your problem and not mine.

  5. Hmmm, that's similar to the recipe for the perfect Rum and Coke.

     

    Fill a large tumbler to the brim with Coke (or Pepsi if you aint' woke),

    Dump the cola and quickly fill the tumbler with the Rum of your choice.

    Only afterward did I notice that a sub-squad of competitors, who shall go unnamed, decided to wait out the rain and shoot their stages near the end of the event after the sun had come out and most other squads had finished shooting.

     

    Is this against the rules?  One would think that if you are not with your squad and ready to shoot at the appointed time, you would forfeit that stage.  No making it up later when conditions are ideal.

     

    By sub-squad, do you mean part of a squad did not shoot with the rest of the squad?  If so, that is pretty crappy.  I don't know if it could be called 8.41 Unsportsmanlike Behavior, but I would certainly be tempted.

     

    Alternatively, if I was RO'ing that squad, I would call the creeps name in the shooting rotation and when they sat out their turn, I would score it DNF for that stage and continue on with the shooters who were present.

    LOL I am with you...BUT at least we can look good while getting smoked by the kids...  I am starting a petition to get a Distinguished Super Senior category added :)

      

     

    I'm think we should split your new category into Distinguished Super Senior Limited (original knees) and DSS Open (replacement knees).

    The question for me is, why would anyone want to design a silly stage like that? This isn't idpa.

     

    I actually shot a major USPSA match many, many years ago, back when you actually had to do physical things in stages like climb walls, go through windows, cooper tunnels, kick down doors, etc...  The shooter started the stage holding a bowling ball and had to shoot several targets on the way to the "Bowling Alley", then drop the bowling ball in a barrel that funneled the ball onto a track.  The ball rolled down the track activating various moving, swinging, and bobbing targets and no-shoots as the shooter moved down and across the bay.  What a great stage!  We got a petition going with probably 50 or 60 signatures to extend the match another day, just so we could come back and play on that stage.

     

    Sadly, we never got to shoot the stage again.  As I remember the stage ran pretty well with few re-shoots.  If my memory is correct the stage was designed by an actual rocket scientist.

    Obviously, reading isn't a skill taught in California.  I live in Missouri, but Mississippi is a great state, too.

     

    Correctamundo!  Give the man a ceegar.  The schools here are too busy teaching gender studies and critical race theory to bother with something as mundane as readin', writin' and 'rithmetic.

    That new blaster is calling my name😉!  I do need to move another one first though.  I appreciate the info on the new post button, I’ll give her a try!  Thank you👊🏻

     

    Only 3 more posts, and you'll be classified.  I know you can do it, you've already posted in 47 threads dating all the way back to 2015.

    JIT or "kanban" as the Japanese who invented it under the tutelage of an American named Dr. Demings call it, doesn't justify having only one supplier on tap, nor does it forgive corporations large or small from not having contingency plans.  I can easily forgive short term supply interruptions.  I can not forgive "years" of back orders/interruptions/pick your synonym. Nor can I overlook the failure of an employee to properly handle a simple request for a replacement part for more than a month because of malfeasance, as was the case with my broken part.

     

    Yes, things like toilet paper were in short supply - but it didn't last for years. And comparing toilet paper to reloading equipment is the proverbial apples to oranges analogy.

     

    LOL!  That's funny right there!

     

    So you got a bone to pick with Dillon, so you go to this forum and make a bunch of unsubstantiated claims how it is all Dillons fault...Boo Hoo!

     

    It's all Dillons fault that EVERY single reloading equipment manufacturer and reloading supply manufacturer is OUT OF STOCK and backordered on everything including Toilet Paper!

     

    Can't tell if you are actually serious, or just a troll or just stupid?

  12. The most reliable lightweight bolt carrier I've found is the JP Low Mass Steel BCG with enhanced bolt.  I have one that has outlasted 2 barrels, but I did replace the bolt last year and kept the original as a spare.  I can count the number of malfunctions I've had with this setup in 5 years of competition on one hand and have 2 digits left over and I think one of them was a sandy magazine.

     

    https://jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPBC-3 BCG if you don't want to know how dirty your BCG is.

    https://jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPBC-3SP BCG if you clean your gear often.

     

    I use the JP Silent Captured Spring system in all of my AR's small and large.  I just run the standard spring and it has worked with every thing I've run through the gun from light hoser loads to hot 77 grain loads.

    For gas blocks I run SLR Sentry 7 adjustable gas blocks, but I did have an early model one that spit out the adjusting screw.  They replaced it with the later model upgraded gas block and I haven't had any problems with it since and have about twice as many rounds through it as the failed one.

  13. I've had the same problem at various clubs over the years and finally made the connection that the only common denominator between clubs was....ME.

     

    My approach and attitude was causing the friction between me and the 'crab' people.  I have much less friction now that I understand the source.

    The case I have right now uses a velcro flap for the magazine pouches, and there is nowhere to wrap the flap around to keep it from closing.  So it is a PITA when grabbing a magazine for my next string.  I have considered just cutting off the flap, but that seems like an extreme solution.

     

    For about $4 you can fix the bag so the flap stays open.

    Fold the flap over so the velcro side is towards the bag and stick the appropriate half of the velcro patch onto the bag where the flap velcro meets the side of the bag.

     

    If you're worried the patch won't stick, put some Shoe Goo on the adhesive side of the velcro patch.

    I don't need the u die when I don't reload 9 major brass. I sort by head stamp and don't use any brass that has any defects that I can see.  I only load certain head stamps for major.  I used a lee fcd, I don't have any issues will any of the rounds l load.  I stated earlier that I avoid using my open brass repeatedly.

     

    Nice of you to leave your trash brass for others!  LOL!

    That at all is not at all how the clubs around here run their matches. Its called a dry table for a reason. No ammo at the table period. On you, on your belt, loose or in your hand. Dont know what the "book" says, but at least here they run it that way. It makes sense California would be different. ;)

     

    Do you know the sub chapter where it identifies you can have ammo at the table? 

     

    It's called a 'safe table' and right now in Commiefornia it would definitely NOT be a dry table...it's been raining for the past week.
