  1. Really have found this to be a great place to research the mods I have done to my CZ 712. Really was impressed with how much easier it is to reload weak-hand load2 with the port opened up. I don't understand the need for the bigger button on the side for the bolt release, as I just put the shell on the lifter and push down, the gun loads the round, and I'm in business. The Nordic extension, the tube de-burring, the follower de-burring and polishing, have all made this little shotgun fun to shoot! Otherwise looking to put on sights, and this thing will be GTG. Great fun to run plateracks already with this thing and I'm making about twenty stakes with clay-holding tongs and a head on one side and pointed on the other about 45" long so we can get these thing out and practice practice practice without lugging tons of steel in the Subaru! LOL

    So if I want to shoot the lower recoil stuff that it currently won't quite cycle, I can open up the gas ports? What is the recommended size again? Trying to wade through this before I go to the shop, thought I'd take time and ask, so that I could just do it when I got there.

    Thanks, JZ

  2. Hope you weren't using temperature sensitive powder :surprise:

    A friend from AK told me a story of having his ammo in the idling truck with heater cranked to test rifle ammo on cold days. Seems like pocket warmers could do it too?

  3. All that 30 pages of dribble proves is that for every good USPSA shooter, there are at least 50 times as many Tactical Plumber Couch Potatoes playing Range Nazi Commando from the laptop. If it's not tactical, it's not practical. Remeber to go Full Sul position before transitioning to you next target (threat).... and don't forget to Check the World. FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!

    What would these guys say about "The Video"?

    OPERATE!

    Reminds me of Contact!

  4. I'd get the CZ now, you can compete quite handily with it. It will not slow you down. Load your ammo to factory length and you will not have feed issues. These pistols are also very accurate from the factory. I loved mine. Then if you like limited and want to change, you can buy a 2011, and sell your CZ no problem, or you may not like limited. CZs do shoot really nice though.

  5. Congratulations Dad! I have three girls, you live on another planet from me lol :roflol: Enjoy, my youngest is eight, and I was just giving her age at a function and said six. She glared at me. Soon they will be shooting with you.

  6. You might be surprised if you haven't had an accuracy issue with jump that it might not matter. I find that this can be particular to barrel and bullet too. For some bullets, it is more vital, and for some barrels, and other combos seem doomed while some quite forgiving. With that length and bullet weight Graham, what powder would you suggest?

  7. :cheers: To your friend in honor of his life, and love of living it. Sorry for your loss, he must have touched quite a few just from what you have shared. Thanks for that. It's guys like that who brought me back to this sport.

  8. Barrel life is a combination of factors, hardness of the barrel, bullets, typical powder charge, etc. etc. A gun is "shot out" I would think when you can no longer get it to work reliably as a result of extensive all-around wear. Like an auto loader whose barrel is worn out, and whose frame rails are shot, and the trigger is not resetting reliably. A revo whose cylinder is worn, blown forcing cone, etc.

  9. The speed your arms move to do a mag change should be the same whether you are standing or walking.

    If you do a mag change while you are leaving a position, the goal is to have the mag seated before your first foot touches the ground. Work on that maybe...

    This is great as it will help with not breaking the 180 when you are moving towards your weak hand side during a reloading.

  10. Some I wish I could name but they aren't even in distribution yet....

    I have kids, and some of the kids movies I have been forced to watch have been pretty good.

    Rabid. It was the first gory movie I watched on a pay television service back when you had one box with one button, you switched your television to channel 3 and pushed the button, and there was your unscrambled signal for pay t.v..

    Galaxina. Another early Sci-Fi dud that was great when I was young, and I would sit through it again.

    Robocop, the original.

    The original movie from the 70s, The Gumball Rally. Just junk but I loved those films.

  11. Funny stuff there.

    During the economic downturn, I was approached to do lighting and ventilation for some folks that grow for the dispensaries here in CA. Did some of my best work for those folks. The set up was appreciated very much and is copied by many as a fairly simple example of indoor grow set ups. I wouldn't know, but these folks were very particular about soil being the most important component and despised those who used chemicals. The whole organic movement has made its way into the marijuana horticulture movement.

    I think they will be okay with a week under a typical grow tube you would find at your local hardware store.

    Farm out dude!

    Jeeze Pat, I just moved back from Albuquerque! Whole time out there I never shot a match! Yeah, NM is the last place I would consider this if I were you, but hey, if it's just flowers......... :rolleyes:

  12. Most radical set up I ever did was a guy who lives out in the sticks and grows indoor peppers. All kinds of exotic super-hot peppers with cool names and super scoville units of heat! No kidding, peppers! Sends out for little pepper plants all over the world and is just a genius with indoor growing using two-tier lighting and trays. Some people with more money than they know what to do with, go crazy and grow indoor peppers out in the middle of nowhere. Looks like a biker compound with pit bulls and shipping containers etc. Major indoor pepper operation. That dude is sober and straight as an arrow, but man does he take his peppers seriously! Lol!
