Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Yeah, when I update my scope (MTAC 1-4x) to either a vortex 1-6x or a leupold multigun 1-6x I will get a larue mount. Until then I will make the P.E.P.R mount work. I will keep an eye on the levers, I was worried about them being under too much tension (I had them tighter than I do now when I first figured this out). Cheers, Jeremy
  2. I use the hiviz rear sight as well and with the stock front sight (and .250 stock drop) slugs were still 10 inches high at 50 yards on the lowest rear sight setting. I created a spaced for the front sight out of a piece of plastic and placed it under the front sight with lock tight on the threads and am now spot on at 50 yards. The spacer is approx. 1/8" thick and still allows enough threads of the front sight to grab without working loose (after one match so far). Cheers, Jeremy
  3. I was tracing down grouping problems when I noticed I had some play between the Burris P.E.P.R and my upper receiver rail, without finding any instructions or other people having the same issue I went and took the mount off and realized that the quick throw levers can be tightened. There are nuts on the reverse side that have a spring loaded pin holding detents in the nuts from working loose, if you press the qd levers in to the mount to move the nuts away from the pin the nuts can be tightened until the qd levers close with enough force or tight enough to your rail for your satisfaction. I tightened each of mine approximately 180 degrees, no play now. This can be really beneficial if your rail is worn or out of specs. Hope this helps someone with similar problems. Jeremy
  4. An update from me, the brownells low drag follower didn't do the trick. I had a large reamer that just caught the edge of the tube and I used that to open the transition a bit. I also learned that the extension screws in to the threaded union (I thought it was pressed on and free spinning) so I tightened that. Mine's running much better now, still hangs up once in a blue moon, no where near how often it was though. I have the gg&g sling adapter under the extension union, which is probably causing the remaining issue. Good to hear on the nordic comp follower, I was looking at the gg&g one. Cheers, JP5
  5. I have a similar issue where the follower gets hung up where the extension meets the tube. If you take off the end cap and drop the follower in you can see it get hung up there some times. Tapping the butt on the ground causes it to move, or if it is hung up with shells in the tube a good shake gets it to follow. I'm trying to smooth the transition now and I got a low drag follower from brownells to see if that helps. More to follow. Cheers, JP5
  6. Surefire EP-4's. They're good, the only time I plug the little plug in on them is indoors or under an overhead when shooting rifles. For $14 they are great and allow you to converse without taking them out. Some say that when you get a cheekweld that they shift in your ear and don't protect as well, but I have not had that problem. Just have someone measure your ear like they show on the website to make sure you get the right size. Cheers, JP5 P.S. I have not tried any electronic muffs so I cannot compare to them
  7. Howdy all, I know I'm kinda the odd guy out running a glock 21 in 3 gun competitions, but I run what I have and I carry a glock 30, so the handling carries over for the most part. I picked up a pearce +2 base plate for the glock 21 just to see how they would perform and see if that would restore some of the disadvantage in magazine capacity compared to a 9mm. I used it at my last competition for 4 stages and only had one problem. I went to load and make ready and inserted the mag, then pulled the slide to the rear to chamber a round, and the first round popped out and dropped onto the table. I let the round stay, released the slide to chamber the next round and finished the stage with 14 rounds with no incident, but found it disheartening that it wasn't flawless, and so I went and purchased some wolff +5% springs to see if the added spring pressure will keep that from happening in the future. More to follow if that happens again. Cheers, JP5
  8. I have a Tactical Assault Gear (TAG) molle leg rig with 3 x 6 round CCW strippers on it plus another on my belt. I could probably fit another row of 3 x 6 rd CCWs on it if I thought I needed that many, or I could add a few more to my belt. The 6 rounders are really tall on the belt and dig in if there is any movement. Past that, I dunno, side saddle, and a dump pouch full of birdshot. As far as keeping track, I would start out with the specialty load shots in the gun if possible and or keep one or two of the CCW strippers loaded up with the buck and slugs with a couple extra. Good luck, sounds like a hell of a stage, JP5
  9. My standard is the same amount of magazines in dollars as the firearm costs. So for my glock 21 ($500ish, what I paid for it) at my acceptable price of $20 a magazine, that means my ideal is 25 magazines. I am at 9 now. Granted I will have three weapons that can use the magazines though, a kriss super v, glock 21 and glock 30. For my AR that breaks down to about 90 mags (not including the price of the optic). Got a ways to go for that one too. Food for thought, JP5
  10. Been running a 590 that I had chokes installed in all year. It works great, the only thing really limiting me is how fast I can load the tube. It hasn't had any reliability problems like some saiga's or other tube fed semi autos, as long as you don't short stroke the pump it will always load and eject. Good luck, Jeremy P.S. I am going to upgrade to a 930 jm and keep the 590 as my backup.
  11. Buds gun shop gets small batches of them now and then, that was how I found mine. Within a day of them listing, they were gone. Good luck Jeremy

    G21 mag pouches

    Tuff products 5 in line holster, they fit in there nice and snug, and since it's fabric it conforms to the belt. The cover is removable for easier access to the magazines. I want to say it costs about $40. Cheers, Jeremy
  13. I had no idea a primer even fit in there... But like it was mentioned, it has to go somewhere. You mentioned having to pull (and either replace or straighten) the gas tube, for obvious reasons, but could you get the primer out of the carrier key? I imagine it's in there pretty good. Jeremy
  14. I've got plenty of FFL's that I could transfer to. That's not the problem. I just couldn't find any, any time somewhere had them in stock by the time I went to make a purchase, they were gone or they were on an auction site for what I thought was significant markup. However, I just found out budsgunshop has at least one in, and so I bought one, I took everyone's advice. I guess I owe ya'll some thanks for not going thru with an impulse buy and helping me avoid another project gun... Cheers, Jeremy
  15. Thanks guys, I am going on a business trip for a week, if the 930 is there in the shop when I get back and I can't find a JM for under $650, I'll probably pick it up and send the barrel to Guncat. I emailed him and got pretty much the same quote above except I added forcing cone work (figured I might as well while I have it out). I figure $650 is reasonable, when they were in stock in places thats about what they were going for, now some enterprising individuals are getting more for them off auction sights (I watched that auction too). Just wanted to see what people were picking up used 930's for and if anything to look out for before buying it. Thanks again, Jeremy
