  1. Anyone interested in a carpool from SE Orlando near CFRPC? Going up the Greenway to I-4 PM or e-mail me.
  2. I like the idea of the piston guns for SHTF type stuff, but for competition the lighter weight of the moving parts in the JP is the ticket. Most of the AR movement and recoil I feel is the buffer and bolt moving back and fourth, adding a piston just creates more mass moving around.
  3. Geat job Eric. You deserve it, no one is better at promoting our sport than you are. GM GM GM GM Grand Master Eric Wow does that feel as good as it sounds? Perfect timing to get there.

    Thank you Paul. It is hard to explain, If I knew what it was I could sell it. Or just multiply it, and keep it. I am still making errors on every single stage I shoot. It seems like I can see & feel the errors more clearly now as they happen???? I sent in my entrys for Area 7 and the Ft. Benning 3-gun challenge. I am going to have to figure out something soon. My wife paid the entries so I have a great excuse to practice.
  6. Entry is in the mail. Now hopefully flights are not full. Wife wants to know how far to Ben and Jerrys.
  7. Shy, Quiet, Prudish, Pureitan.......................Never words I would have thought of. Now whats this Monica stuff???? Will you ever learn??? Websight? I still need to learn.
  8. Shred nailed it. Knowing where the A zone is is huge, and you would be suprized how many can't hit a plate at 40 yards under pressure?
  9. Yes, must stay above 16" barrel or 16" after pemanetly fixed barrel attachment. You may try cutting and threading at 18" I had to lower my front sight about 1/16". You need to make sure the front and rear sights are a matched set. FAL's do have different combinations. I have also had to "slightly" enlarge gas hole for reliable opeation and to put gas adjustment back in range. Be forwarned 16" and shorter FAL's and M1's have brutal muzzle blast and flash.
  10. You will find a ton of information if you do a search. But it all comes down to preference.

    Honey, I have to go back to work. Darling, you know they FORCE me to work overtime. Do I have to take a day off.
  13. Its not a crimp step, its a flare removal station. You dont have to actually crimp down the case onto the bullet just remove the flare, only needs to be about .001" of step down. Only flare the case enough to not get shavings when seating bullets then remove the flare.
  14. Add a shock buff. They come in .030", .060", .090", .125", and .200". Urithane or aluminum.
  15. I got to play with one a couple of months ago. Pro; Great optics, true one power red dot with zoom capability, fast and precise. Con; Price $1200?, strange mount, $price$, not proven.
  16. Took me 4.2 to make major. Shoot them and see what you get for reliability and accuracy, go from there.
  17. Polymer and moly coated bullets are an attractive cheap alternative to the sky rocketing cost of jacketed bullets, while they do smoke alot less than lead or the lead bullet lubricants, they do have some major health drawbacks. The smoke from burning polymer's, moly. and homopolymers may be worse for you than even lead or older bullet lube's. They don't shoot so well with very fast burning powders: We use fast burning powders combined with heavy bullets in the pursuit of softer feeling loads, the faster we can go the softer. That's why 320, 310, Tightgroup and Clays are so popular. We have accepted some pure accuracy loss in the pursuit of the holy grail of soft shooting clean loads. The problem is fast burning powders generate more of a pressure spike and heat at the heal and on the bearing surfaces of the bullet. This is why the coated bullet manufacturers recommend slower powders like bullseye shooters would use. In the guns I have tried them in they are actually more accurate than plated, although not near so as jacketed hollow points. They were horrible and messy in my open gun. Is lead really the bad guy, not so sure? Checkout the MSDS sheets on those slick coatings. While Teflon, Molybdenum, and Homopolymers are pretty much inert and safe when in there solid states, they become completely different beasts when heated or burned. The new MSDS sheets on Teflon and the various homopolymers read like a who's who of nasty inhalants when burned. Teflon: When temperatures exceed 750 degrees Fahrenheit Teflon will undergo thermal decomposition and will emit ACUTELY toxic vapors. These vapors include Hexafluoropropylene, Perfluoroisobutylene and Carbonyl Fluoride. Aspiration of these wonderful gases may lead to pulmonary edema. Exposure to thermo-degradation products may cause influenza-like symptoms also known as "Polymer fume fever condition" such as chills, headache, mild respiratory discomfort, shaking of the limbs, and high fever. And after long term, cancer. Homopolymers: Homopolymers emit Formaldehyde gas when heated and or burned. Formaldehyde is another well known chronic inhalation carcinogen. Do your own MSDS checks and decide for yourself. Now I know why I hate the smell of the coated bullets even worse than the lead shooters smoke plumes. The problem is its easy to test for lead buildup but not so for polymer or formaldehyde poisioning. Its jacketed hollow points ,CMJ or plated for me. JM2C
  18. You shoot jacketed bullets with VV powder This is one area if you want to drive an FI car you dont feed it cheap fuel. I had to try a few just to know, had cr+p all over my comp and blast shield, it didnt clean till i shot a bunch of jacketed loads and wore stuff off. They did smoke like lead also. This whole thing of using a slower powder to keep them from smoking like a train is counterproductive to soft loads. Just how bad is burning plastic molly anyway?
