Thanks guys!
But since I've been out of it for eleven years now, it will be doubtful.
Sounds like a great exercise in shooting without expectations.

Didn't think about the chokes. I'm gonna call monday and speak to Nora. She seemed to know a little more about the non-ported barrels just from reading her e-mail (she did have a model number at least). I'll make sure and ask about the chokes. No one has chimed in w/ a better deal than the 485 I can get on the 930 waterfowler. So, I will probably also purchase it Monday as well. Can't wait to take it apart...lol
Jetguns has the 930 WF for $427: http://www.jetguns.com/mossberg-930wf-12-3-28vr-accu-syn-p-16236.html?cPath=495_517

Is she set on a pistol? If not, I think a lightweight 22 rifle would be the way to go. I'd go M&P-15/22 or 10/22, but anything would work. Assuming they're in a free state, the M&P15/22 with collapsible stock would let you adjust the fit as she grows.

Since the 935 is chambered to shoot 3 1/2" shells there is the possibility of it having a hard time cycling light 2 3/4" bird shot loads. The 930 is chambered to shoot up to 3" rounds and is tuned to handle light loads through heavy 3" loads. The 935 is also slightly longer and heavier IIRC.
The stock 935 barrels are also overbored. The manual says not to shoot slugs out of anything but the specific slug barrels.

My ammo cost about $3 per hundred. I just like saying that.
Ok, I'll bite...how is that?
I'm guessing he casts his own bullets and has a free source of lead.

One thing I would like the tiger team to evaluate is the use of "pickup guns" on stages. Should they be allowed or limited. Maximum number of rounds for a pick-up-gun on a stage (2, 4, entire stage)? Types of pick-up-guns, etc.
This seems to be getting popular lately, but there doesn't seem to be any rules governing it. Should a Glock shooter be required to fire a 1911, or a 1911 shooter be required to fire a Glock?
The rules addendum has outlawed long-guns for sanctioned matches, but what about any match? Should a shooter with a bad shoulder (who shoots 9mm in SSP) be required to fire a 12 gauge shotgun?
Just a thought.....
Ryan
I think pickup guns should be outlawed in sanctioned matches for sure. I could go either way for club matches.

If dc area means the district itself, charles sykes is your only option. If not, is it MD or VA?

Okay, I'm new to the whole AR thing, more of a pistol shooter. No one seems to mention Timney triggers. Comments?
I have a Timney and it works great. Even runs 100% so far with my new 22LR upper.
-
Unreliable conversion kits: Thing of the past ... my Ceiner runs like a scalded cat. Black dog mags and original .... makes no difference.
I tried a friend's Ciener in my gun and it wouldn't run worth a damn with my Timney trigger. It won't run with the JP light springs on his rifle either, but it's fine with the milspec spring weights.
I'm in the exact situation as the OP. I have a K-Dot on my 223 and just picked up a Nordic upper. I went with a Primary Arms 1-4x on their deluxe extended mount. Scope and mount together were less money than I paid for the Larue mount on my 223. Obviously the glass quality is no where close, but I think it'll do the job as a practice tool.

I've paid $25 ea for all of my 10 rounders. You can find them from time to time. I think the most recent set was on sale at midway.

Smith changed the design of the followers, and I think they never really got tested in the 10 round mags. There's at least one thread here about it, but here's a thread on another forum including a how-to video on fixing them: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/124192-How-to-video-on-modifying-M-amp-P-magazine-followers

Actually there is a better thought there than you think. Matches would be better if they appealed to shooters so that the divisions were more evenly divided. IMO there would be nothing wrong with charging less for the less popular divisions and more for tact optics. If you want to save some coin there would be incentives for open, HM or limited.
Why are more evenly divided divisions better? One thing that I like about 3-gun/multigun is that a large percentage of the competitors are all shooting against eachother.

When a problem is found, what do you do? You change it. So, frequently, the stages the SOs shoot are, in fact, not identical to the stages the match day attendees shoot. Therefore, having shot a different - though very similar - match, the SOs' scores get counted for having shot a different match.
When you change it, people who've shot it already have to reshoot. We did this at the New England Regional IDPA match this year. A clamshell prop went down on the second to last squad of the staff shoot. It was replaced with a peekaboo and the staff reshot the stage. It was bit of a pain, but it was the only way to avoid tossing the stage from the match. This is one of the many risks to your match performance you take when you work a major match.

I saw one last week at the Cabelas in Hartford, CT. I don't know if they still have it.

I don't want to sound like a prick but how would this failure be in any way shape or form S&W's responsibility to "Take Care Of"? That amount of damage can only be caused by a compressed double charge. If I had to bet on who would be more probable in producing a compressed double charged round it wouldn't be Winchester. This is an expensive, and thankfully not an injuring, lesson to pay close attention when reloading your ammunition. Far too many people slip into a distracted vegetative mental state when reloading because its monotonous and boring then end up paying the price with these kind of dangerous failures. Keep alert and pay attention to what you are doing while reloading or suffer the consequences.
Be thankful that nobody was seriously injured during this accident. Guns can easily be replaced. Fingers, hands, eyes, and other body parts are not easily replaced once damaged.
It's not their responsibility, but they may help the OP out in the interest of customer service. I wouldn't try to pull one over on them, but it can't hurt to be honest and ask what they'll do for you. They may offer to fix it at their parts cost, which will be much less than paying retail for a new gun.

Uh, yep. Defending World Champion and all. If it were a per shot penalty his toe would not have been over. He would have been a lot more careful.
If this penalty is incorrectly applied as often as you state, doesn't he have almost as much incentive to be a lot more careful, since there's a decent chance he'll get a per shot penalty anyway?

IIRC mine came with the x-full turkey choke installed and an IC and Full choke is the box. I bought brileys in light mod and diffusion, haven't used anything but the LM yet.

Nice new lineup for next season. Another hot chick

The bolt is not going into battery. The top half is but not the bottom part. Take the gas piston out, take the ring off, CLEAN all carbon off, clean barrel ring, do not lube & try it. I use a wire wheel on a dremmel tool.
Thanks Benny. I had cleaned everything before, but I hadn't taken the ring off of the piston. I just took it off, cleaned everything and put it back together. The gas piston moves much more freely now, so there was definitely an issue there. I'll take it to the range in the next few days to try it, but I'm pretty sure you've got it.

Attitude between IDPA and USPSA shooters seem to be getting better over the past few years, at least in Florida. We have a lot of shooters who shoot both games on a regular basis and look at both as similar games with different rules.
Same thing here in Massachusetts, crossover is growing.

The insertion of the Mag is #1, then shoot 2,3,4,5,6, Reload (#1) then shoot 2,3,4,5,6.
A friend of a friend would think he had a straight in poker when he had four consecutive cards including a 7. Five, six,se,ven,eight.

As far as I know, there is not a 40S&W round made that has a crimped primer pocket. That's a 9 and 45 issue....
What about Non-Toxic ammo? All of the NT ammo I've seen in other calibers has crimped primers, though I don't load 40.

After it feeds the second shell can you hear the hammer fall?
I hear the hammer fall when I pull the trigger on the second round.

I reassembled it by the manual and it was never apart between the 200 rounds of good operation and the problems. When I had it apart yesterday, it seems like the gas piston goes in to the gas cylinder harder than I think it should. The part that's weird to me is that it ejects and feeds perfectly fine, which I don't think it would do if the gas piston was getting slowed down too much.

If I were the MD/RM/whatever at a match where that happened, I'd DQ the offender immediately, and strongly consider banning him if it was within my power.
