Jesse Tichauser posted a pic on his IG of a Raptor like charge handle from Next Level Arms for the MPX. No clue when it will be available.

Hey Shadyscott999, who makes that stock adapter? I'm doing an almost identical MPX. Going with the Hiperfire ECL trigger and UBR stock.

I'm shooting the WOA16 inch Match profile, mid length gas, 1/7 Wylde chamber barrel. It's been incredibly accurate. It is a bit heavy but the weight adds to the stability and makes settling the rifle easier after sprinting 50 yards to shoot long range targets. Brownell's has them.

I have a new rifle build and I'm using a JP LMOS bcg, JP SCS with multiple springs, an Armalite muzzle brake and an SLR adjustable gas block. Where do I start the tuning/ balancing process? What's the order of operation for getting all this working together to reduce felt recoil and stay on target? I haven't drilled the ports on the muzzle brake yet. All I've done so far is install the lightest spring in the pack on the SCS and dial down the gas with the SLR gas block to the minimum required to lock the bolt back on my handloads.

So all this talk is about how to "control" recoil. You can't control it, you simply manage it. Hunter Cayll....prime example... It's more about technique than muscles/strength. Granted strength can help hold the pistol and "reduce" muzzle flip but it's ultimately how fast your eyes can see and recover the sights after the shot for the follow up. You can be iron man strong guy but if you can't see the sights lift and settle and re-acquire the sight picture in record time you're mediocre. We're all mediocre. "To shoot fast, you got to see fast"... I won't name drop but a really fast shooter told me that. It seems too simple and too quick an explanation but it's truth is solid and I continue to roll it over and over in my head when I shoot or practice. Vision is your greatest tool to improvement. I'm not discounting strength and muscle memory at all but look at Hunter Cayll and what he has to work with. He's a top shooter and I'm pretty sure grip strength has no effect on his game. If you ever meet him you'll know that sheer will and attitude are his strengths.

I'm currently doing another build for 3 gun. This will become my primary and my current rifle a back up or loaner. I was about to pull the trigger on a JP Aluminum LMOS BGC when I ran across the 2A Armament Regulated BCG. The plan was an SLR Ti adjustable gas block and the JP Ultra LMOS but the 2A RBC eliminates the adjustable gas block and saves me $$. I have no experience with the 2A RBC. Anyone here using the 2A RBC? Anyone here using the JP Ultra LMOS? Thoughts? Advice? ~Willz

I'm doing a new 3 Gun build and in addition to trying to lightening things up a bit by trying a Proof Research barrel, I'v been looking at the 2A Armament RBC. I'm curious how you like the RBC and how it works under match conditions? I'm about to order a SLC Ti adjustable gas block and saw this 2A RBC. Now I'm unsure what to do. I was thinking JP Ultra Lite BCG and an SLR Ti adjustable gas block. Now I'm leaning toward the 2A RBC.

Awesome build Nathanb! How's the recoil on a build this lite?

I like the Speedcross but I'm less than impressed with the tread life. My current pair I've worn since Jan 2015. The soles are nearly slick now. I made it a point only to wear them at matches. I'm still leaning toward full cleats.

Rotator cuff surgery

Thanks guys. Dr said 10 months to get back to %100. He said I'd be out of the sling in 8 weeks I'm wondering how long before I can shoot 3 gun again and quad load. -

Rotator cuff surgery
Willz posted a topic in Miscellaneous Topics That Do Not Fit in Any Other Forum
I had an injury recently and require surgery to my left shoulder. The surgeon is saying 8 weeks in a sling followed by pysical therapy. This seriously puts a dent in my shooting. I guess I'll just practice alot of strong hand only shooting. Anyone else go thru this and have any advise to speed recovery? -
IDPA in the true spirit of the sport would restrict you to only your Concealed Carry rig and daily wear. In the summer for me it's shorts a t-shirt and IWB holster appendix carry with my G30 and two G21 mags for reloads. The G30 10 round mag in the gun and the G21 mags loaded to full 13 rounds. In winter it's IWB at 4 o'clock with a G21 and two mags all fully loaded under a light jacket or heavy coat. IDPA is a game and the have to standardize certain aspects to keep it as even as possible. In the end it's a game. Gamers gonna game it.

Seekins Precision Hard-as-Hell MultiGun

Along with this and some video from last year's match, is it a bad idea to use a load vest for this match? I saw a dude squeezing through a door that I know would have problems with my load 2 vest. I wouldn't rely on it exclusively, have a way to load off of your belt that won't break or drop shells when you crawl, climb, jump, run etc. I've seen some footage of belly crawling thru a drain pipe. -
I dont have a lot of experiance with the shotgun. I definitely need to pattern my chokes. Reguarding your "aim 6 o'clock low'...So with the shotgun i should be aiming at the bottom of a popper or clay? I'm mainly referring to clays on a stand/rebar or some sort and steel knock overs on a post type stand. Although I've shot right over the top of some of the tiny pepper poppers too. I found that very close targets, with my shotgun and the LM choke I run 90% of the time, my shot will go over the target if I aim directly at it. By aiming 6 oclock low even if you are not directly on the target you will catch the base or stand and the target. At less than 5 yards your shot pattern is so tight no matter what choke, you have to be dead on.

I do wonder what I'm doing wrong to miss a short range steel knockdown with my shotgun. I've been shooting an improved modified choke here latley. I think at times I tend to sweep the gun across targets trying to go fast rather than actually aiming at each one before pressing the shot.Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk When I miss close targets with the shotgun, clays or knock-overs, its always because the shot goes over the target. I have to remind myself to aim 6 o'clock low because my natural tendancy is to aim directly at it. Yes,you need to pause, however briefly when shooting an array. I know it looks like the pros are not pausing because they don't hold and wait for the target to fall before moving on. They trigger the shot and move on seeing the target fall in their peripheral vision.

You should have received a email from practiscore after you registered with a payment link, after payment you would have gotten a squad link. Check your junk mail or send Ken a email.... Nope. double checked. Nothing after the initial email from Ken. Sent Ken a PM. Sent you a PM with Ken's email... Thanks Dave, email sent. -
