If the barrel is threaded 1/2-28 and the muzzle brake is overtightened while timing it, this can happen. There's only .05" wall thickness at the root of the threads. https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/275592-9mm-barrelsand-timing-muzzle-brakes/ Nolan

Because we ain't fast enough to get away with a quickness, like the younger guys, or maybe it's just we ain't smart enough. Nolan

How is the muzzlebrake attached? Threaded, then pinned and welded or ??? If it's threaded 1/2-28, they may have pinched the barrel when they tightened the brake before pinning and welding. Nolan

Daniel Craig should be nominated for the Worst Cajun accent EVER! Nolan

I think you'll have to make your own. Just scale up the recoil spring tester with bigger washers, longer rod and a larger fish scale. Nolan

Now if only someone would make a lower that took MPX magazines. Oh wait.....nevermind. Nolan

I have several Midway Heavy Duty Shotgun cases. They are listed as 54" internally, but my Beretta 1301 with the all the stock spacers, a Limbsaver buttpad and a Nordic +8 tube fits okay. They hold up well, one is about 4 years old. It's on sale for $23.50 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/939162977 Savior sells a couple of very nice bags. $149.99 I don't have any experience with this particular one, it's listed as 55.5" internal. https://www.amazon.com/Savior-Equipment-Specialist-Discreet-Precision/dp/B086RFLGBG I have two of these Double Rifle bags. They are nicely made and have held up well for a couple of years of abuse. $96.99 My 1301 fits easily, along with all my other 3 Gun gear. https://www.amazon.com/Savior-Equipment-Warfare-Tactical-Backpack/dp/B07LD4GN61 Nolan

If your magazines run 38 Super, they will run 38 Super Comp, just fine and vice versa. There isn't enough difference between the 2 to really matter as long as they are loaded to roughly equal OAL. You may not need to change/tune the extractor. My open guns will run both Super and Super Comp interchangeably. Nolan

Actually I think the prize table IS the average shooters participation trophy without being called a participation trophy. The shooter can honestly say they won this or that at XYZ Nationals even if it is only a recoil spring pack. Plus there is some anticipation, a little suspense about am I going to get something I really want or am I going to be re-gifting it to my brother or some club fun match. Nolan

This! I put a liberal generous amount on my choke tubes. If it does loosen, it's generally less than a quarter turn. I use extended choke tubes, so at the pre-load table I just automatically check and hand tighten if necessary. The only downside is, getting that silver crap on everything you touch if you get it on your hands while changing choke tubes. Nolan

Leave the gas system dry. No lube on the piston or the barrel. Do not use a dry lube, it will burn and gum up the works. Nolan

Yes, and No. For rifle some of the more expensive dies are worth the extra cost. For pistol, Lee, Hornady, Dillon carbide sizing dies, and standard seating and crimping dies work just fine. My personal experience has been primarily with Lee and Dillon for something like 30 years for 100s of thousands of rounds. I have used Hornady dies for .44 Mag, but for less than 10K rounds, no problems. Nolan

Awesome. I just put the book in my reading list. About 15 years ago I got the chance to ride in a WWII Beechcraft Model 18 AT-11 Kansan twin engine bomber that was built in Wichita, Kansas while my Grandmother was a 'Rosie the Riveter' at Beechcraft. I have no idea whether my Grandmother worked on that particular plane, but it was definitely a possibility. We got to do a fly-by of the Oakland airport control tower and a couple of practice bombing runs on ships in the Bay. Those were some brave men who flew that era of bombers into combat. Nolan

No DQ, just no start because 8.2.2 they are not in the correct starting position and if the RO lets them start after moving the chair, it's a reshoot. Nolan

Not really. USPSA originally had it's roots in real life practical shooting, and in real life targets move at unknown speeds at unknown distances. Deal with it. Moving targets change speed for a multitude of reasons, wind, lubrication, wear, heat, cold, etc... Judging target speed and distance is a skill, get better at it. Nolan

Somebody mentioned Phil Strader in an earlier post. I think you really need to have a long talk with Phil, last I heard he was still working for Sig Sauer. Phil started a series of big matches called the Pro-Am. The first couple of years the matches were big, great prize tables and well organized. Then they tapered off. You really also need to talk to Mike Foley. Mike has a lot of industry and marketing experience. You are making a lot of assumptions about USPSA without really having any knowledge of just how the Org actually operates. Have a conversation with both Phil and Mike and for a change, listen to what they have to say rather than start off by telling them what they are doing wrong in your very limited experience. Nolan

LOL! How many times did he do the "picking his nose" routine? Merle is always fun to shoot with, but don't ever ask him if he's a touch typist! Nolan

Love the Socks! Nolan

Just curious as to how many major matches you've built, done the prize table for, and run? If you're only waiting for an invitation to start doing all of the above for Nationals consider this an invitation. Nolan

Thanks! That camera has good audio for shooting, so many of the cameras over-clip the audio making the sound muddy.. The exposure adjustment from dark to light isn't as fast as the more expensive cameras, but the image quality is more than adequate. I think I'll pick one up. I've been using a Sony AZR-1 which I like, but it's not as easy to turn on and I've missed more than a couple of stages because of that. Nolan

Any video posted using the Hawkeye camera? Nolan

I've been in the sport for 30+ years and have been fortunate to have shot many, many major matches, and countless local matches. I've been fortunate enough to squad with many Eno's sphere posters, with World Champions and with complete newbies at majors and locals. I've shot on squads that were "We've got that band back together!" and squads where I didn't know a soul. There have been squads with many shenanigans (whoopie cushions, I kid you not!, trash talking between friends and enemies, embarrassing wagers, Astro-Glide sample packets, tampons, you name it) and squads where you thought open heart surgery was being performed. Though it all, my main take away has been, just like in life outside the range, peoples behavior and reactions to me are a mirror of my attitude and expectations. Nolan

I think they've already attained orbital velocity! Nolan

Truer words!!! And if you really want a reality check, enter a local match early and pick an empty squad, then see how fast it fills up. Nolan
