  1. Timney website says mine was ordered 2/26/21 and is "Awaiting Fulfillment". BC
  2. If this is a carry gun, don't put the GG kit in it. The trigger is lightened using a different set of springs and is not recommended by Bruce Gray for self defense. It's a competition trigger kit. From the Grayguns.com website: Specifically designed for P320s with current fire control unit components, or those who have gone through SIG’s Voluntary Upgrade Program. This system is for competition or range use only. That being said, it is a great improvement over the stock Sig trigger. BC
  3. Using a S&W Performance Center Victory for RFPO with the Tandemkross thumb rest and their safety, which also acts as a thumb rest. Works very well. The front thumb rest is designed to have two screws and a pin in the middle. The pin is mounted in the receiver for additional support (per the gunsmith that mounted it). This has a few other TK parts in it. BC
  4. Fully agree. At a Steel Challenge match, repainting the steel can get down right messy. With a swirling wind, it's very easy to paint your shooting glasses, coat, gloves (yes we shoot SC in the Michigan winter) and probably your shoes if the spray can drips. It still has to be done. Don't be the person that thinks that only the "newbies" have to paint. Grab a can while the shooter is completing their 3rd or 4th string and be ready to walk downrange as soon as the RO states "Range Clear". BC
  5. What is everyone experiencing for order to delivery time? BC
  6. Maybe they are now shipping with the "Max" trigger.... Enjoy your Legion and don't forget to register for the free case. BC
  7. Gray Guns had these in stock this morning (Friday the 26th). Ordered one. BC
  8. Yes. For a Sig P320 the "gun" is the part with the serial number on it. For P320's that is the Fire Control Unit. Extensive discussion in this thread including a response from DNROI Troy McManus. Check the rulebook - Appendix D7 - Carry Optics Division 21.4 - Grips BC
  9. His website says "Available for: Colt, Caspian, STI, SV, Tripp, Para-Ordnance, Springfield, Kimber, and all 1911 clones" Give Doug a call (248) 852-6490. He's there Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. BC
  10. Ours lasted through the entire day. Targets underneath were changed but since you already have bullet holes in the bag and its a clear bag, just reuse it. BC
  11. Watched Jerry Miculek shoot S&H with a Smith & Wesson Performance Center Victory in RFPO and his sequence was 2,1,4,3,S. Being that the muzzle was pointing at the start marker, the closest target was 2. My best run using that sequence in RFRO was 6.39 in December '20 at Brooklyn. BC
  12. The flip tray is also handy. Saves double flipping into / out of a Dillon box. Have been using it for over a year. It's easy to check the primer seating when the rounds are in the Hundo. Run you finger across the caseheads and you should feel a slight indentation when the primer is seated correctly. The exception is Winchester brass. Their primer pocket is just a bit shallower than the others so on those rounds, your finger just slides across. When that happens, the case brand is checked and if it's WIN then move on to the next one. The rounds that stick up out of the gauge are relegated to the practice ammo box. BC
  13. Disregard... Found it. www.matchshark.com At $17.50 each this would be a significant investment (and still get a bit shot up) over the $1 cost of the ULine / Shooters Connection bags. BC
  14. Agree with @MountainMan A friend works for a gun store that is the largest Dillon distributor in the Midwest. They jumped on the Mark7 band wagon and became a distributor, got the correct license for ammunition manufacturing and started running three Mark7's. My friend said The Mark7 is a great machine when it runs. But it really has it's own little problems. This echoed what @MountainMan stated. My friend said one of the machines was down for 8 hours while he tried to fix what was stopping it. He said he's getting really good at disassembly and re-assembly as he has done it multiple times. BC
  15. Well that stimulus check has to go somewhere..... lol. Might as well stay warm. BC
  16. Doug has some very well respected clients who make their living with firearms. He has a patent on the rail system and with that goes a backlog of orders. Almost every Open gun at the club has gone through his shop. He can get a 2011 trigger down to 16 ounces and it lasts. People are more than happy with the results he produces. BC
  17. The Gerbing Gyde Torrid Heated soft vest with the heated collar is on sale (link) at $149 (regular $199) so the lower price covers most of the additional battery cost ($49). Just ordered one with a second battery. It gets friggin' cold in Michigan. Some of the indoor ranges are not heated in the winter. BC
  18. The instructions would be in multiple languages but the first set would be in Japanese.... BC
  19. First time at USPSA practice. Look at everyone wearing unloaded guns. They are shooting into a bay off the 50 yard range. Walk to the middle of the 50 yard range, plunk down my bag and put on my gear. Pulled out the gun and holstered it. One of the guys walks up, smiling and introduces himself. "Hi, I'm Mark. I'd like to talk to you about the Safe Area". Yeah.... at least it wasn't at a match.... but still.... BC
  20. It took me 4 months of research to decide what I wanted and then another 3 months to collect all the parts. The rifle went together over two weekends. Fitting the Volquartsen barrel to the receiver was the most difficult part. They oversize their barrel fitment by .001 so you have to freeze it and heat up the receiver. Pounding on a very expensive carbon fiber barrel was interesting, to say the least. There's a picture of the silver carbine here on Enos that is based on the ModShot chassis. Best of luck on the journey. BC
  21. Keep the pistol. Every gun that I really liked and sold, I ended up buying back. (Talk about lost money..... I don't even want to think about it...) As far as building a RFRO carbine, take it slow. Buy the pieces over time. Start with the bolt and chassis and work up from there. You can save money by waiting for sales like Black Friday or whatever. What you end up with is really YOUR gun because you built it. There is a certain amount of pride that comes from building a gun that runs (key word runs). People are a bit astonished when they ask "Where did you buy that?" and the reply is "I built it". BC
  22. We all started with the skills we brought to the table. Most of us remember that when we stuck with it, there were people willing to help us along the journey. Some of the best people I know were met on a gun range during competition. BC
  23. Yes. The rail on that side is sculpted to allow clearance for the slide lock. As far as running the gun after the rail job is done, Doug can provide additional rails. They basically are a "wear" item as that part absorbs the friction from the moving slide. Several guys around here run Open guns with his rails. They have had them so long that they broke a rail, usually the one that is cut down for the slide stop. It's very easy to replace them. Remove the slide, push out the old rail's curved end that locks into the frame and push in the new one. Put the frame back on. Done. BC
