Hey Jim....QFT......no, mine means Quite F%#king true!!!
-
Jerry Miculek has some good rifle videos as you know. Bennie Cooley's rifle video is a real good one a well.
-
No they only sold Gen ones as Nordic. Gen 2 was sold to other manufacturers. Gen 3 will be sold under the Nordic banner once again. Your group buy was gen one-A2.
Don't shoot water, it is dangerous and can cause ricochets especially with .22 LR. Don't kill your neighbors cat!
Yes Mick the gen 3 can be switched into a standard upper
-
Cooler??? In Arizona??? Hell Mick its already been snowing up here and last night was down to 19.

Dan...this one is for you! I tell this to my kids all the time....WDTIA.....We Don't Talk In Acronyms!

Thanks T Bacus!
Flatland, you must not know me very well. I have felt that 3-gun was moving more towards "action designated marksman" matches for quite sometime. There has been a perceived "race" between match directors to have "the longest shot in 3-gun" and it has gotten quite ridicules, and on top of that they had to make extra large penalties if you didn't hit them, just so you would HAVE to try. 3-gun is supposed to be about the practical use of ALL 3 firearms, not the ridicules extremes.

Eh, sounds like a lot of work, I guess I'll just have the Soup!

First gen (of which I have the vey first one) was a square bolt design with a specially milled upper to fit the square bolt design. It had a receiver mounted ejector.
Second Gen was a round bolt design that was able to utilize a standard upper. The ejector is mounted on the barrel extension.
Third gen is the one you have pictured. Basically a second gen with a redesigned firing pin and different geometry to ease feeding and extraction in a different upper.
No the first gen uppers can not be upgraded. BUT if you are having issues with your first gen Steely, P.M. me as there were several "changes" we figured out on the first gen guns that made them run GREAT!!!
As for "helping out" James Darst and I have been a beta tester and design consultant for Nordic for over 5 years, as well as several other larger manufacturers

Fishsticks, and T bacus, I am real sure I wouldn't change that post. It is the same stuff I have been saying for lo these last 5 years or so. I rather liked the Quarks For Titan....and you can QFT me on that!
-
Quit f@&king typing? Quarks for Titan? Questions for talking? Quintessential Forestry Tent? Quite frosty tonight? I'll guess with you steely!

I'll drink to that...... with approximately 8 drams, which would be about an ounce of pure golden sippin liquor.
A dram as we know it in shotgun ammo is about a teaspoon full of #2 Black Powder, Goex anyone?

Be all that Webster's historical stuff as it may. ARMALITE and COLT manufactured and sold the firearm, that we now know as the AR-15/M16 family of firearms, DESIGNATED AS A CARBINE. They made it, they did the marketing, they got the contract with the military, by pushing a firearm THEY BUILT AS A CARBINE!! Therefore, ergo, they are ALL CARBINES!
Dare if I must, I can even give further proof that they are/were considered CARBINES....each and everyone!!! When the short barreled XM-177 came to being it was billed as the Colt XM-177.....SUBMACHINEGUN......NOT CARBINE. Historical note the XM-177 and XM-177E1 were re-designated as the CAR-15, that was just the model designation. the C didn't stand for carbine anymore than the A stands for "Assault"
With all this in mind I don't feel that 3-gun in general is served by target farther away than 400 yards or so, with 300 yards probably a better number. That is the effective envelope of the ammunition in common use. Targets are generally visible in this range. They are in the +/- of error for a person that only has a 25-50 yard range to sight in on. They don't frustrate a middle of the pack shooter. They don't require pricey upper end bullets or ammunition. They don't require real spendy 1- 80 bazzilion X scopes. They don't require real high end barrels to eke the utmost in sub M.O.A. performance. The distance is still plenty long to test good marksmanship and field positions and the folks who can do that will still be winning, but the folks who aren't really up to speed can still accomplish the task.
These thoughts brought to you by RNT... the guys who brought you the 4 M.O.A. target concept!

to be a real world championship???? Well..... I would have to be there in order for it to be!

Yes Ming, that was one of the things I found out in testing. The geometry of the hammer to where it hits the magazine hold open paddle keeps the Geiselelle from striking the back of the firing pin squarely which causes a side load on the firing pin and then light strikes and miss fires. They are working on implementing a fix as we speak and I am sure they will have a Geiselelle compatible unit in the very near future.
Jesse, there are 3 generations of the Nordic 22 upper. I happen to have all 3 generations and each generation has a bit of my input which has lead to the next generation. I.E. the second gen firing pin was 20 thousandths to short, and the collar was 30 though too long, the back of the bolt was occluding full contact of the hammer with the firing pin depending on hammer to pin geometry. Several companies wanted a floating firing pin which then caused the 3rd gen modifications and now it looks like a minor tweek will allow ALL hammers to work. I'm glad you are enjoying your 3rd gen upper......and your landscaping!
-
Nice landscaping! Does your wife make you do it?
-
Something is wrong with your fit or poa/poi. If you think about it your bead sits right on top of your barrel. If you put the bead dead center of the target at say 1 foot at most you would be 3/4" of an inch LOW....not high!
If you are hitting that high close up you are either not keeping your cheek weld or the gun isn't fit to you!
-
Optimal is 23 and 5/32 of an inch, but do what you think is best
-
Oh, you say! I mean, come on...rifle.....carbine....oh......you know
-
I've got some video of EXACTLY what Steelhead wants from Gunners in Sturgis.....only she was doing double shooters
-
What? Are you kidding?There is all sorts of video! Charlton Heston was in a lot of them, the 10 commandments, Noah, etc. Heck even Mel Brookes had some video...history of the world part one.
-
Then it should be real easy to film it and post it. Its the same old saw.....video or it didn't happen. Just frame it so we can see the target at the beep, come up double the clay so we can see it break. Piece of cake!
-
Double clay?? Is that how they get Gumby and Pokey to stand?
Time to get the old video going, I'd like to see that myself!
I'd settle for a double in the head of a metric target at 40 yards with lets say a .18 split?? I think we could all agree that would be called a double. We talking off hand here, or off a lead sled?
-
Where ever did this 4MOA nonsense come from?
-
I have been testing one of these for a while now and all I can say is wow! It feeds like a 10-22. It is very accurate and absolutely simple to strip and clean, although you sure don't have to do it very often. I have run it on several different lowers with several different triggers and it has been great! It has even run on a J.P. with yellow springs, but your hammer pin hole location needs to be perfect; best to use the J.P. red spring for 100% ignition. It is a round bolt design and is in a standard receiver. I know 22s are still hard to come by, but the 3rd Gen upper is well worth searching for some.
Does 3 gun need a governing body?
in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration

For me NO to all, except for the last.
