Today at the range, I noticed between shots my C-more dot would cut out. (related thread) I fiddled with the adjustment knob, nothing. I then gave it a few wacks and it started to work for a few shots and then cut out. I think it is a bad rheostat or power contacts. From what I have overheard these are common problems. Basically the question is, what are a few things that I could check/do myself before sending it in to C-more?

would thishelp?

maybe I shoud ask c-more to deduct the cost of new sky screens from my scope repair bill

Ive been meaning to get out to see it. A friend of mine saw it said it was excelent, however the local papers riped on it.

Nothing worse than a bad day at the range. Went today to do some chrono work. I couldent get any valid data to save my life and then my c-more started to go out on the fritz. So sent a few more shots over (at) the chrono and trashed a skyscreen.

I'll take one too please

I wonder if the glow chemicals would stand up to the heat.

we could do it next weekend at TASC if you are feeling better by then.

It just happed to be on the desk top. I found signed up for free immage hosting and wanted to see how well it worked. If you liked that one I have to find the one of her playing with the shot timer. Now I have to get off my butt and post pictures of my other babys of my clutterd reloading bench.

ok i think it worked lemme know... too big? load to slow?

goona do my testing here too

It's only illegal if you get caught

blast away! but don't melt the thing down. Our point of impact might change as things settle in.

Thanks Rhino, it is funny, however not nearly as great and as eloquently told as "The day the pants failed" The tool thing is a common misconception. The automotive trade is one of the only few that reqire a person to furnish their own tools. Its a continuous gripe of mine. Im waiting for some to say that this story reminds them of the time when they went to plug in the belt sander and it took off like a screaming bandit.... off the work bench out the garage over the hood if their car and halfway down the street be to it came to and grinding hault at the end of the 100' extension cord bucking and kicking at the feet of a couple of small children clutching each other in utter terror.

My company spend money on safety device HA! SO tube containing broken glass falls from the sky or will it stay up there.

Personally I wounden't wait more than 6 months. The few smiths that I do know are usualy one man shows and spend half the time on the phone awnsering the same question. "when is my gun gonna be ready?" If most smiths had least one assistant the wait times would drastically reduced. Another case, a local smith owed a customer a favor and whiped out a quality peice in one evening. The very next day was a majormatch that the smith was promoting. Im pretty sure that most smiths wont work on an order start to finish. They will do a little here and a little there. They will do smaller orders (sight installs, trigger jobs, etc) between building guns or they will only work on complete guns when they are caught up on the smaller orders.

nice gun..... now lets hope it shoots as good as it looks.

This looks like its more along the lines of "If you can't shoot good, make sure you look good doing it"

I haven't broken mine yet.. but when I do I'll have a spare. I told you all it would take is a quick e-mail. Glad to see safariland make good.

After 8 years of being an Automotive Technician I had my first Accidental discharge with an impact gun. The day started like any other. I arived in my usual fasion, punch the time card and head straight for the coffee maker in the show room. I drank my two cup minmum and shot the breez with the boys fror a few minuts before heading to the dispatcher for my first job. I greeted the dispatcher as ususal, "Mornin' Carl, Where da gravy at? " ( Thats mechanic speak for "give me an easy job") "No gravy here" as he slides a repair order through the slot at the bottom of the window. I quickly glance at the repair order and see that the vheicle is an '03 mustang covertable and the customers concern is that the left rear quarter window doesn't roll down. I retreive the car form the parking deck and verifty that the window does indeed not work. With the car in my stall I lowered the top and began to gather the tools necessary to complete the job. My arm full of tools and I are going to rock and roll in the back seat of this mustang. A screw driver disengages the clips for the rear seat bottom, 1/4'' drive ratchet and socket remove the 10mm bolts holding the seat back. The rear seats are out now its time for the quarter trrim. With my specialized pry tool I disengage the clips holding the trim pannel and manuver it aside. Now that all the trim is out of the way, its time to get down to the nitty gritty.To reach the window regulator and motor I first must remove the hydrulic covertable top ram. I know that these fasteners holding the ram are torqued down prety good as well having excessive amounts thread lock. The decision is simple go for the air tools. I grab my 3/8' drive Impcat gun and 13mm universal drive socket from the floor pan of the car. Quickly I place the socket on the drive. With the gun in my strong hand slightly canted outward and grabed the airline with my weak hand. As if it were a perfect reload, the fitting on the hose and the fitting on the gun mated together with a "wooosh". But then, unexpectidly the 150psi air imediatly reved the impact gun to its max. The wobbly socket separated form its drive and went careening in the air and impacted a pair of 10 foot florecent tubes with a crash. "OH Sh*t" I cried as glass and white powder rained down form the sky and blanketed the interior of the mustang like a fresh snow. I brushed my hair out, dusted sholders off and began to asses the dammage. I then realized that I had the trigger depressed when I connected the air line causing the air gun to go wide open. My lunch hour didn't go as usual. Instead of spending it with my buddys in the break room, it was spent with my new pal shop-vac. After the glass was cleaned up I continued on to make the repair and then returned the car to its original state without any more incidents. Moral of the story is. If it has a trigger.(firearm, air tools, electric drill, etc.) make sure that your finger is off it until you are on target. Otherwise the rest of you day may not go as usual. Oh yeah, make sure that you have eye protection on if you are using things with triggers.

When i bought a spare locking block, it came with the spacers. Its an expensive way to go if all you need is a spacer. I'd give safariland and e-mail or call to see if they would sell you just the spacer,

Im using cover as I say this, But TBF you did choose your carreer, and if you hate your schedual soo much lt might be worth looking for another job.

It couldn't hurt... I had problems with the McCormick basebads hitting my magwell. A few strokes of file took care of that. We are talking 10 rounders right?

Anybody use this stuff? Does it have any pistol applications? How does its burn rate compair to others?

Search the forums here see what you find. I would recomend uinsg a faster powder like N320 or Clays
