You'll need to shitcan the adjustables. Replacement sights need to be OEM if adjustable, although fixed sights and fiber optic front sights can be aftermarket. The short version of IPSC Production rules is simple. OEM, period. You can add grip tape, and that's about it. If your gun has any tuned or aftermarket parts, it ain't production. Mags are OEM, or aftermarket that share the same external dimentions. No capacity adding base pads are allowed. OEM mags must use the factory basepad.

Always happy to help.

Your mileage may vary, but since I have to stop anyway to top up every 100 rounds, I don't find it too much to also toss in another 100 into the tube filler.

I'll be using my GP6 for the 2010 BC. I just need to buy a new holster as I understand my Hogue or a Ghost won't cut it for production.

I was under the impression that Clark had milled out the chamber of .38 Super barrels, and installed his sleeve. That would seem to make sense but, in this case it is clearly marked and you can see the seam between the chamber and barrel. The only explanation that I can come up with is he knew what he was doing and it worked. Thanks for the picture! I wonder if instead of a simple chamber sleeve, if it was a rifled section with a chamber section. Most barrels for the 1911 made prior to the 80's were two part barrels, with the rifled section braze welded to the chamber section.

His cousin works with me. Passive aggresive, he'll sit idle if not directed, or deliberately and sneakily do a job the polar opposite of the way I ask it be done. He used to be a foreman, couldn't cut it, and now resents me.

Just curious, but when talk of buying a 1050 comes up, some board expert will offer the advice that the one year vs no BS warrantee is a consideration. I've had two different Super 1050's, and have never had an issue. My opinion is that anything that doesn't break in the first year, likely never will, or you'll have had so much use from it that you'll not begrudge the cost of replacement. Owners, what's your opinion?

I have the set up you describe, and I wouldn't concider anything less.

What was your origional plan? If you retire from the military now, will you be retiring outright or joining the civilian workforce? My wife worked in Florence SC and loved it there. She found the lifestyle and cost of living better than when she was in Sebring FLA.

I hope if this does happen, that the production remains in Israel. I doubt we'd be able to import these rifles from the US. As it stands, we can currently import them direct from Israel when the moon and stars align and they have semi-auto models ready to ship.

Ok the real question is how many primers do you have and where are they? Only 6k at the moment on the bench. 5k loaded on the shelf. It's mid season.

Being the cheap and paranoid fellow I am........................... My local gas station is associated with a large automotive/parts/tools chain. The store has had a reward program for the last 70 years, in the form of store cash coupons. The gas bar also offer the coupons, and include a multiplier coupon in thier weekly flyer. Being a two car family, I fill up one vehicle and three 20L gas cans, using the coupon, and walk away with 2-3 dollars a fill up in store coupons. When the next vehicle needs fuel, I dump as much of the stored gas as possible into the other vehicle, and again fuel up the empty van and the gas cans. In that way, I try to keep 60L on hand for emergencys, and rotate the fuel. However, I confess to being guilty of running too low.

I don't mind the Bladetech mag pouch, but forget about the Tech-Loc attachement. Mine never holds tight.

FWIW, I've got a 1050 set up for 9mm using a Mr. Bulletfeeder. It works very, very well.

Nope. Bought my first place when I was 28. Stupidly, I never truly was aware of how smoke filled my parents home was until I had my own. Now, when we visit, the kids hit the bath right after we get home, and the clothes go straight into the laundry. It just frustrates the heck out of me. They are constantly coughing and short of breath.

I know, it's thier lives and thier choice, but I swear they are trying to kill themselves with cigarettes. When smokes creeped up in price, they started buying the el-cheapo bagged smokes from the indian reserve at 25% the price.

Odd. Can you post a picture or 5?

We've been working on cdrissle to make some.

You've made some excellent points. My home club recently hosted the provincial championship IPSC match. The MD has an e-mail list of members and regular helpers. He made a point of e-mailing everyone in advance of work parties, and set up dates. He also outlined in the e-mail what work was planned for the day. I'm sure he'll still grumble about the lack of help, but I think his system works well. The issue of distance does come up regularly. At our club, we have a large number of ranges, and several of them are not normally available for IPSC shooting. During the big matches, we close the whole club. Consequently, we are inconvieniencing the non-IPSC member during the set up and tear down phase. As such, there is a real issue at the close of a big match to tear down and stow props immediately. While many are happy to stay and help, those looking at 3-5 hour drives home on a Sunday afternoon can feel put out.

WHile I have munched a large number of primers in owning two different 1050's, I've yet to light one off on the press.

We're on a street with a fair pitch to it, to the extent that the local joggers and bike riders use our street for hill training. However, we are not at the bottom. We're perhaps 10 houses up from the lowest point. We believe the problem is that there is not enough of a downword angle in the transverse pipe. Our town keep records of call-outs for sewer issues, and our place seems to have had a call out every couple of years. Odds are there was a clot of greese or toilet paper that continued to collect material until it dammed up the pipe. The effluent in the basement was most likely from the laundry and dishwasher we turned on just prior to leaving to pick up the kids. While I like the idea of a check valve, I'm worried that it's not a real fix. Instead of a basement flood, I suspect my first clue of a problem would be the same material flowing out of the dishwasher or washing machine on the first floor.

Good news is, my loading bench and supplied were spared the flood. Equally good, the kids toys they "forgot" to clean up didn't escape. Bagged and ready for the truck now!!! We got back this morning after picking up the kids. They'd spent three weeks with Grandma at the cottage. Ben ran downstairs for something, and came up asking, "Why is there water in the basement?" The guys from the public works came over after MrsCanuck223 and I shovelled the shit and toys out of the way of the drain. They ran 90 feet of snake out to the street, and fortunately they didn't find any roots in the cutter. Now I just need to run a dehumidifier and fan in the basement, and mop the shit out of it, literally. I see a few bottles of ammonia in my future. Could have been worse I suppose. The basement is unfinished, so no carpet or flooring was damaged.

As I always used boat tailed bullets, I never found the resizing of the neck to be a problem. However, since i retumbled the cases in fresh corn cob media to get rid of the case lube, I needed to make sure the flash holes were clear. My solution was to get a Lee Collet die, and polish the mandrel just a bit undersize. I set the die up in my loading toolhead to slightly open up the mouth and clear the flash hole, but not to make contact wit the neck of the case.
