  1. Does anyone know if there is a store between Austin Airport and the range where I can pickup some Rem STS 12 ga. shells?

    Thanks.

    Try GT! GT Distributors

    I believe they are a match sponsor as well! :cheers:

    GT is conveniently not far off 183. If I needed to buy buckshot or slugs or handgun or rifle ammo or a Glock or an M&P or an AR or a holster, or, well, lots of stuff, GT is at the top of the list. But birdshot? :surprise: Call first. If you stop by GT then there is Dick's close by, too.

    Academy carries slugs as well, at least one brand of Remington slugs (if needed)

  2. I plan on shooting it for a while. Although this time I think I am taking my red dot off, and shooting with the bead front only. I am also going to open up the magazine opening for faster loading. I already stippled the firearm a bit. The only thing I really wish is that this was an 8-9 shot, instead of only 6.

    The capacity is the reason I moved the Mossy to a back up position. Never had a problem with it that was not shooter related.

    Stages seem to set up for 8+1 (at least around here).

  3. C-rums did mine in 2-3 weeks. But he did a few other mods as well.

    Looks like a clean job Doc. That seems to be the amount of work I want to do to mine, but I have been too scared to grind on the new shotgun.

    I stay away from the Dremel Tool! I do it all with files and stones. Sometimes I go to far too fast with power tools! <_<

    I felt the same way, but no fear now. Just go slow!

    Cheers,

    Kyle

    Mark Roth of xrail by RCI has a better solution than welding.

    Doc, can we get a picture of the lifter from the top side? (Take it out of the gun)

    Looks awesome BTW.

    Thanks.

    You Bet!

    Thanks for the compliment, but Michael Shumaker is the man and he should get the credit! He did a great job and stuck with the project until it worked 100% of the time!

    Here are the photos you requested.

    Cheers,

    Kyle

    Anyone know what the turn-around time is to weld up a gate....I might have gotten myself in a jam...just received my SLP today, and yes the thumb eating gate makes it difficult to load, BUT I have a match march 5th :surprise:

  4. I am 6'7" and find shooting through ports to be one of my biggest challenges.

    He'll, I usually have a better sight picture looking over the wall than I do through the port. ;)

    I have been getting as close to the port as I can and trying to fire. Thinking about getting as far back as I possibly can next time. May not have to squat down as far. But doing so may require me moving laterally a bit to get all the targets.

    As a newb still figuring out what works for me.

  5. Don't let equipment keep you out of the game.

    Shoot what you have, and if you need something, someone will more than likely let you borrow it.

    Get out there, find out what works for you, and most importantly, be safe and have fun.

  6. C-Rums was about 2.5-3 weeks turnaround (that includes shipping to and from).

    Anything I can do to radius those points or trim back to get past this match, it is a fundraiser for a friend and fellow shooter to help sshis family cope with costs for cancer treatments, otherwise I would skip it.

    Several folks have ground them down or completely off. I think I would smooth them without removing too much material and then send it off to be welded, if that is what you want to do.

    If you cut/modify your lifter, C-rums will not accept it! Been there, done that!

    thanks Kyle. Was not aware of that. He is working on mine now. So ready to get it in hand.

    Back to the ?, I would just shoot it the way it is and take your time loading, then send it off after the shoot.
