    Major Stage Design Peeve

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    I went a day early to scope out the stages in hopes of being able to do well at A2.

    Now, knowing there were more than a few technically difficult stages to memorize, allowing those who are able to come early to walk the stages would have given more time to those who were not able to come early. This was evident by all the cutting in line, backtracking and blocking the way going on during the 5 minute warning with your squad on difficult stages.

    I'm not use to having to be aggressive during the 5 minutes. I understand why all of the above was going on but wasn't too peeved about it since early arrivals were not allowed on the stages. :P

    I'd do it again.

    Hey Barry,

    I am sorry I did not get a chance to talk to you.........when I finished with Steve S., I looked around for you in the vendor area and the activity center. If there is anything I can do, please e-mail or PM me...........I hope you had a fun time.

    Hey Steve H.,

    Congrats on your finish and this is with RO'ing too, good shooting.

    Spoke to Craig S. today and he will be sending me some info.

    Area 2 Match Stages..

    in Tips for Improvement

    Posted

    Rika,

    I think your ideas are on the money. I have noticed the same things when I shoot i.e. mesh barricades, short distances, closely spaced targets.

    Another observation I made was on this stage you didn't have to go back and forth to different shooting positions constantly. This tends to throw me off a little (like forgeting to engage a hidden target :huh: Rudy's Big Top).

    Next major match, I'll use Steve Anderson's sheet on breaking down a stage (available on his website as a pdf file). As I found out, the diagrams in the match booklet were worthless for planning how to shoot the stages.

    Looks like your knee is doing a lot better :) and congratulations on your placement :D

    Aloha,

    Ar-15 Hammer Pin Q

    in Rifle - Technical

    Posted

    My pins rotate and haven't noticed any accelerated wear or problems. You can polish up the pin where it is covered by the hammer and enlarge the center groove of the pin, just leave the ends alone. It's the "J" spring in the hammer that is grabbing the pin and holding the pin in the receiver.

    Or, you can remove the "J" spring from the hammer and buy those "anti-walk" pins that some company makes (forgot who) but you willl have those "arms" connecting the two pins (hammer & trigger) showing on the out side of the receiver.

    Hope this helps.

    Remington 870 Questions

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted

    There are quite a few differences between the "Police" and "Express" model.

    Police model:

    goes through a 23 station check list

    built in a special build area with all parts hand inspected

    has a longer mag spring for positive feeding

    heavier sear spring (heavier trigger pull)

    heavier carrier dog spring to keep the lifter up

    no ISS (intergrated safety system/key lock on safety button)

    shorter fore end so fits in a gun rack

    parkerized or high luster blue finish

    receiver is vibra honed to smooth out surface

    barrel has ball detent for retention

    machined ejector and extractor

    $$

    Express model:

    need to drill out the dimples to add on mag extension

    beadblast blue finish

    synthetic trigger housing

    synthetic mag spring retainer for barrel retention

    powder metal cast ejector and extractor

    $

    The Express is a good gun, I just wouldn't use it for duty. I am not a Remington rep but went to armorer's school and got this info from them.

    All 870's can be fitted with the flexi-tab system if you want. For competition stuff, the Express is fine. Maybe you find a nice cheap used one as a competition gun doesn't stay stock very long and gets a lot of parts replaced anyway. Used ones have the action smoothed from use.

    Dawson Practical Advantage 2011

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I have a Dawson Practical Advantage and I like it a lot. When I ordered it, I was able to speak to Dave and went down the list of what I wanted to add. Took almost two months longer than estimated for it to be delivered due to plating.

    Everyone is really nice on the phone and had my order for a shirt and other stuff get messed up. Was in the Shooters Club but they send the flyer out late and the sale stuff is already past the expiration date and they won't honor it. Bulk mail :angry: so no longer in the Shooters Club.

    I want to get a Brazos one day as Bob is always at the big matches and always has the time to answer questions.

    New Bennelli

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted

    Maybe since my S90 is about 8 years old that could have something to do with it. 

    You get the prize - earlier versions did not have 2 notches on the bolt. They do now, and the rear most notch must be modified in order to occomplish the task.

    Yes, Benelli modified the "bolt" because some people complained it was "not safe" <_<

    Was told this at armorer's school ;)

    Colt Combat Elite in 38 Super.  The extra two rounds in the mags will make a huge difference.  Plus shooting minor in a 38 super is like shooting a .22lr

    That's what I would do "if" I were to shoot in this new ss division :P

    I still have a nib Colt Govt series 80 in the safe and a dozen 10 rd mags...hmmmm
