2020 Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Date?
Vespid_Wasp replied to babob's topic in Multi-Gun, Rifle & Shotgun Match Announcements
Thunder Valley was owned by a different entity, and has changed hands and the new owner is not firearms friendly, from what I had been told. -

It would be mutually beneficial for the hotel owner and the nearby landowner who bought the rest of the wooded property. I would think.... -

Interesting! -
No idea how many were made. I have one that I used for a build for PRS gas gun. Haven't made it to a single match with it. It's a very quality upper. There are still a few floating around available. I wouldn't hang onto it as a collectible. Use it and enjoy it. I used a JP LMOS carrier for both performance and the increased bearing surface doesn't eat away upper receiver material the way that mil-spec carriers do. I keep it well lubed and expect it to last through quite a few barrels.

Shotgun - 4x4 Shell Carriers still made and in style?
Vespid_Wasp replied to ctfish's topic in Multi-gun Gear & Accessories
I kept mine because sometimes having shotgun caddies that you can go prone with and not lose all your shells is a big enough advantage to make it worthwhile. Also a good secure way to segregate ammo where speed of loading isn't paramount. Quad loading is much faster and is primarily how I keep my shotgun fed but I'm going to hang onto my old 4x4s. Heck I still have some of my old california competeition works plastic 4 shell caddies. And use them occasionally. -
DeadAir Keymo mounts will fix that problem for you.

Told by whom? Some of the best shooters in the game use them.

Greetings all! I am sending my 2011 off for nitride treatment, and I need to remove the front and rear sight. I am having trouble finding any kind of definitive answer about removing the rear sight. Is it a simple directional tapered dovetail? Or do I need to knock out the hinge pin and remove a set screw. The hinge pin is quite small and appears to be staked in. I want to be certain before I proceed. Thank you.

Hello all. I won a cert at a match for a nitride treatment. The 2011 that I have currently has a cerakote finish. Should I be concerned about the surface of the frame and slide? I assume they will blast with aluminum oxide to strip the cerakote, and then bead blast to smooth the surface prior to nitriding. Is this an accurate assumption? I spoke to one of their representatives on the phone, and he gave me the impression that it was no big deal. Anyone have any experience with similar circumstances with H&M and an already finished pistol being sent in to refinish?

Has anyone seen a bent bolt carrier in their Stoeger? I may not be using the right terminology. The twin action bars that travel along the magazine tube that attach to the collar that compresses the action spring. I had never heard of this before but a buddy of mine who shoots a Stoeger showed me his and it was wavy and bent all to hell. I shoot an M2 but I picked up an M3000 because I found one for a screaming good deal for a backup and for a loaner gun for some friends who shoot with me. Did he assemble something incorrectly that lead to the damage?

Scope mount for Vortex razor 1-6
Vespid_Wasp replied to GARD72977's topic in Multi-gun Gear & Accessories
I have my Razor in an ADM Recon-X but I have used Larue and Warne as well with excellent results. If I were buying a different mount for it right now I would go with a Warne X-Skel. I have a different LPV in a Warne RAMP and the build quality is excellent but it leaves me wanting a tiny bit more eye relief. -
I'm probably a dinosaur but I am still using a Magpul UBR. I too like a rifle with some heft to it. I am faster with it on rifle plates at 100 yards offhand than with my lighter rifles.
