Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. 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.
  2. It would be mutually beneficial for the hotel owner and the nearby landowner who bought the rest of the wooded property. I would think....
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. DeadAir Keymo mounts will fix that problem for you.
  6. Told by whom? Some of the best shooters in the game use them.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Very much looking forward to it. I am bringing some newer shooters and they are very excited. We have been practicing on my home range. I know we aren't going to win but every new person I bring to the sport seems to wind up bringing 5 or 6 more as they get their friends into it!
