Let's see some CZ Scorpion Builds
lvipscshooter replied to zhunter's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
I would think so, but it is my understanding Angus and crew designed them and the spring to work with the 30 round tubes. I woild think the spring length would keep you from getting 40 using the 20 round tube without removing coils?. I saw a post somewhere where Angus tried one on a 10rd tube. The mag would not clear the release although it did seem to fit on a bullet button equipped model -
Let's see some CZ Scorpion Builds
lvipscshooter replied to zhunter's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Just ordered 2 of them yesterday!! +20 rounds for the 30 round tubes!! -
Gotcha. Thank you
-
Ok. Nordic tube + how many rounds? +5?
-
Which tube did you use Doc?
-
Ok sorry to sound stupid but I gotta ask. so to get a 14 rd tube figuring the factory capacity is 8, I need a +6 tube kit? or do I need to buy a 8 & a 6 plus a coupler?
-
Simple question. Is ANYONE running one of these C-More ? Very curious about it. Looked at it at my LGS and the glass seemed pretty good. I like the reticle too, though I have read the some think it is too busy. Any input would be helpful

For all the Scorpion shooters out there, we NEED someone to make us some +10 basepads so we can run 40+1 like everyone else!! -
I am wanting to play around in 3 gun. To not have to go out and buy a new pistol/rig/mags etc and keep the initial costs down (every pistol I have is Open division), I would like to turn my FN SLP MK 1 into a open division shotgun. It has a 22" barrel. What is the largest mag tube I can safely run on it? Any other tips would be appreciated. I do not have the $2k+ to invest in a box fed shotgun at this time, but could see one in my future Thanks

I was afraid of that. It seems OK for now, but definitely not right (no pun intended)

yes out of right

I am having a weird issue. I zero'd my open gun this afternoon with a RTS2 V4 on it. It is on a Doubletap mount, as it is replacing a slideride with the same style mount. The issue is, while I was able to achieve zero at 25 yards, I am totally out of adjustment to the right. Not sure if I installed wrong or there is something with the spacers on the mount that could be causing it to cant to one side (I would think left if I am out of right?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I run 7.3 grains of CFE under a Montana Gold 121 ifp projectile loaded to 1.225 OAL. Makes 173PF put of my EMG Customs open gun (Trubor barrel with 2 popple holes). Super nice shooting load!

I like both. I run MG 121's in my open gun. For 124's I use PD. If PD made 121's, I would use nothing but

Slide cracking. Is it just particular brands of slides?
lvipscshooter replied to Sandbagger123's topic in Open Pistols
I cracked a STI slide at @ 70k rounds on my open gun. I have heard of some cracking sooner. Had a older SV with over 100k on it and it was fine, just starting to get loose -
1050 and missed primers
lvipscshooter replied to suncoastarmory's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I replaced the primer slide that uses the rubber tube with the new primer slide from Dillon with the brass bushing. Expensive, but worth it IMHO. Have not had a missed one since -
I know there are already several posts out there like this, but as in those, I wanted to create my own. I have been shooting competitively in USPSA for @ 5 years. I just achieved a M classification, but feel I have been shooting well below my ability recently. I feel part of it is I do not have as much time to train as I had in the past or as most of the better shooters in my class. Knowing that, I have developed a defeatist attitude that I will never be as competitive as I was in the lower classes. Part of that problem is I am super competitive, and strive to be the best at whatever I do. Good performance trumps everything for me. When my best is 35th overall and 11th in my class at a major match, I feel like a failure I don't want to continue throwing money at this sport and being away from home every weekend and coming away stressed and depressed. I have fun hanging out at the range with everyone but have gotten to the point of hating that I actually have to shoot Opinions here. Should I just switch divisions (of course there lies the not enough time thing training to be competitive in new division), take a break, or just walk away and do something else? Please keep in mind my fun level is based on performance (sad I know but it is what it is). If I go to the range just to shoot and hang out with "the gang", I'd rather go plink or just stop by the match to say hi and not shoot

1050 and missed primers
lvipscshooter replied to suncoastarmory's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I am having this same issue with the 1050 and 38 supercomp. I am getting @ 10 crushed primers per 100 rounds lately. Very frustrating and very messy. Rubber sleeve is there and in great shape and the 1/2 moon is positioned correctly. It is not specific to any one brand of primers either, does it with them all. Help/suggestions please. Weird thing is it'll run 3-5 hundred just fine, then it suddenly starts doing this -
The rubber bushing on the primer slide is new, and the bushing/punch are.flush with the casting. My concern now is the loud click that the primer slide makes when it hits the primer slide stop. Seems to be hitting the stop very hard and is way louder than it used to be or maybe I am just noticing it now because of the other issues if it's not a real concern

Been fighting my 1050 priming system all night and am tapping out. The first issue, it would not let the shuttle go all the way forward which was causing the press to hang. Took the primer shuttle out and cleaned the track, and it went all the way forward. Now, it slams into the primer shuttle stop when the handle is raised. I haven't changed anything. And ideas on this one? It sounds like it is hitting hard enough to make it fail at some point. Please help. Loading up my Nats ammo and don't need this headache THANKS

Joy of reloading 1050 vs. 650 ?
lvipscshooter replied to Hammer1's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I have both presses, and like some above, do not enjoy reloading. That said, when both machines are adjusted and tuned perfectly, I would pick the 1050 every time. Priming on the downstroke and in my opinion, more consistency with OAL and crimp on my 38SC loads. I have run @ 25k rounds through my1050 so far this year.
