  1. Maybe this will help.. I agree all rimfire ammo is tougher to find than others. Seems like 223 ammo runs a close race at being equally as hard to find. If you live in a town that has a Wal-M*** then you are in luck. Go to their website and find out what days their trucks come in and then make sure you're there when they put it on the shelves. It helps to have a little inside information because sometimes if a truck comes in at night, they'll wait till early the next morning to put the ammo on the shelves. Rimfire will go the fastest. Good Luck!

  2. I have a HK93 that is stamped 223 on the lower receiver. Can anyone tell me if it is safe to shoot 5.56 NATO ammunition is this rifle? I researched as much as possible and found out HK changed the late 80's models to say 5.56 instead of 223, but I don't know if the early models were chambered for both. Thanks for any help.....

  3. The full definition of movement may be a good question to send into Front Sight just to see what NROI has to say about it. It does appear the RO determined movement occurred when the AD happened which resulted in the DQ and the Arbitration Committee agreed. Good Luck, curious about NROI's full definition of Movement.....

  4. Not being there to observe the incident make it difficult to get a full understanding of what actually occurred. From what I've heard, I would have to agree with the RO and call it a DQ. If the shot went off unintentional and there was movement, it would definetely be a DQ. The shot going through the wall isn't pertinent as shooting through a wall doesn't qualify as a DQ. The movement made, which in my humble opinion, could be as little as shifting the legs to transition from a target on the right to a target on the left would require ones finger to be off the trigger to keep an AD from occurring.

  5. The 147's shot a little high in my fixed sight Shadow. Jim with JD Sales is also making swaged bullets and he can make them at any weight you would like. If you don't like the 147's or 124's I'd try the swaged. I'm currently shooting 130 grain RNFP 9mm's from JD Sales and love them, Super Accurate. The swaged bullets are not greased so you wouldn't have a problem with smoke.

  6. I'd call Donnie and get him to send a trial pack of each. I'd also call Jim with JD Sales and ask him to do the same. Check them out at trial size and save dollars. I'm fairly certain they would both be willing to mail a trial pack. Good Luck!

  7. I would upgrade the M&P to a nice Limited Pistol and then order the Custom 2011 I wanted. The M&P can always be used as a back up and could be shot until the sight tracker was built. I've owned an STI Edge, Brazos BCG Pro, Caylor Custom and a couple of others. Akai Custom is currently building my new 2011. There are a lot of gun builders out there and I'd check out as many as possible before settling on one. I wish I would have followed my own advise because it's not like you make money on the guns you buy to try out and then decide you want something different. I do know Akai Custom builds awesome pistols and they also have a buy back/upgrade program. Good Luck and Good Shooting, hope to meet you on the Range some day.

  8. I would call Shay with Akai Custom Guns! Shay would be what I'd call an expert on both the CZ and STI. He will not mislead you even if he's not the one to build your gun!

    You can check out his website at acguns.com or call him at 954-328-5660. Either way, Good Luck and Good Shooting.

  9. I think every shooter has had the occassional "surprise" shot that goes off a little before it was expected. Riding the trigger a little and getting a double-tap that you didn't intend, or just breaking the shot before you are really ready. I don't think these are DQ level and that is why the clarification in the rule. Every "accidental discharge" is not a DQ. It would be really difficult to enforce the rule that every shot that goes off that isn't specifically expected and intended to go off at that precise moment is an AD and thus a DQ. An AD is when you put a round into the ground in front of you during the draw, or while picking a gun up from a table or putting it down. Those are DQs. If you do an accidental double-tap and your second shot goes just over the target and into the berm, I don't think that should be a DQ, nor do I think the rules intend for it to be.

    I agree and thus would not refer to those surprise shots as AD's or Unsafe Gun Handling as long as they go beyond the 10ft rule and not over the berm. That has most definitely happened to all of us who have been shooting for any length of time.
