Ended up buying a set cause you can never have enough tools.
-
And the winning answer is 15mm. Queue Kurt explaining how smaller nuts are better
-
Thanks guys.
-
Anyone know what size the nut inside the stock? Apparently I don't own a socket deep enough for that long bolt but I'm not keen on buying a whole set having apparently made it 40 years without it
-
I can't tell you my way was good but I bruised my knuckles and dropped shells and cursed a lot until the motion started to make sense and I found what worked for me and how to grab the shells and how to tension my hand. Basically, keep doing it until it starts making sense.

That won't work me and lots of other people, as it will quickly turn into a cat litter box

NOT ON PLASTIC OR POLY LENSES!! Worked fine on my Rudy's when I got paint in my face.
-
Any way you could post a picture of that? I cant get mine on the belt without putting it at a 45° angle. Sure Basically, it doesn't align perfectly, so put it both screws before tightening and you end up with a VERY slight forward cant.

I have a buddy who shoots with one because he finds it balances the load better and he goes home with less back problems. No one bats an eye. Shoot with what you have, you can decide to change it later.

Try a pencil eraser.

QLS works fine on ELS belt if you only attach it with 2 screws. It is a smidgen of tetris but it works and the 2 screws hold it on just fine

The other thing is that anticipating recoil can never be fixed, you will always know it is coming. How you deal with it its important, but you don't want to 'fix' anticipating it, you want to fix how you deal with it. I know it sounds a bit stupid, but how you think of it changes how you deal with it. Recoil WILL come if you press the trigger, so you stiffen your wrists and you keep your eyes open so you can see the sights move because you can't know the gun is ready to go again unless you watched the sights return on target. Recoil is not your enemy, it is the stuff that makes the gun work so love it and accept it and work with it, not against it.

I've done it both ways. I've used an ELS for my holster (and I had to mount the ELS at 45 degrees or so to make it work) and it was fine but I'm now using a QLS and it is a lot more rigid and solid feeling.

Why Can't I Shoot my Benelli at ANY RANGE in the Houston Area?
Vlad replied to Nalapombu's topic in Shotgun - Technical
Err .. I'm assuming shooting it is ok? Or is it only ok if you use it to pistol whip some cattle rustlers? -
Do you just chuckle to yourself when you post these, or is it the alcohol?
-
Doesn't the barrel heat melt the velcro backing glue?
-
How burly is the factory tube though? That would be what would worry me.

I strong hand quad load because I've convinced myself that it is more "compact" to move that way (less gun in front of you waving around) and also because I want to save the 9-12 oclock area of my belt for rifle mags not for shotgun caddies. I suppose if you ran a chest rig the belt space issue doesn't matter. In most 3gun stages, I don't think I've done enough shooting to burn my hand, in a shotgun only stage that might be more of an issue, although I tend to not flip the gun in my hand anyway, I just leave my left hand on the handguard and curl it a lot
-
You aren't my customer because I don't get payed to put on a match to you. THIS attitude is the wrongest one you could possibly bring the range. I'm not the mother of the shooters, I'm not their slave, and I put on a match because I give a crap (or used to). So anyone who comes a volunteer even and pretends to be a customer is actually a flat out a-hole. The moment you show up at the range thinking your are owed ANYTHING because you figure out how to get your wallet our of your pocket you've lost the plot.

Except supply doesn't change that fast. It's just gouging. Like how gasoline went up 25 cents out here (California) in TWENTY FOUR HOURS....... and ask why and they start the old song about plant maintenance and summer blend and phases of the moon. I've tried explaining this before, it isn't gouging. It is supply management and keep crap on shelves. Without prices rising during shortages, everything would be sold out on day one and no one would find anything at any price. There will always be a lunatic who will keep on buying all the "cheap" ammo until he maxes out credit card so the sooner that happens the better. Also, if people haven't learned from the last couple of years to keep a longer term stock of ammo to absorb these shocks, they never will.

It adds a challenge in how you handle your firearms, it requires an additional skill set in weapon manipulation, it means you rifle can't be entirely a space gun it is going to need something you can hook up to, etc. We keep waving the word practical around these shooting sports and (god forgive me saying the following words) "in the real world" there aren't rifles on random tables. I'm not overly fond of the all 3 guns on you stages, but asking to have a slung long gun while using a handgun doesn't seem all that crazy to me.

Tom, I'm not sure that you can get ALL those variable just right for everyone. There are like a million possible combinations and making just one to make everyone happy is probably not going to make anyone happy. My choice? Side charging, forward assist (shouldn't have to ever use it, but might as well have it), yes on the door (for those stages where the gun is staged on the dusty trail and you are gonna kick rocks getting to it), light is good but secondary, 18" rifle gas, 1/8, reduced size gas hole to make it less required to use an adjustable gas block, A2 profile barrel or maybe a bit thicker but not by a lot, include a cheap comp like the Miculek, extended charging shouldn't matter if you side charge it, brass deflector I'm not sure about, low mass carrier is a yes, 15" handguard.

Alec, you know that I wouldn't have a problem with doing that, but the issue becomes one of time tracking. Let say you show up early and designed a stage and built it, but your buddy showed up with you and he worked with you just as hard, but he didn't design the stage. What do I do for him? What do I do for the guy that showed up 10 min later and helped. And the guy 10 min after that? And now it is entirely on the honor system and you know some people will abuse it. Although, I think I'll try it this year. Design and build a stage and shoot for free, lets see how it works out.

As I said before, when you see Formula One racing on TV and decide you want to try the same thing, but show up for the event and it's Baja 1000 off-road racing, it's disappointing. Well if you watched F1 and showed up and wanted to race, you would probably be asked to write a $5mil check and go race in Formula 3 for a while. I do understand your point, but I'll point out that nothing stops a regional match from doing exactly what you want, its just that I suspect that is not what most shooters want from it. I know it isn't what I'd want.

Which membership? The Clubs's or USPSA? I'm asking this because for the match I run, two thirds of the shooters are not members at the local club. Hell, some of them are not members at any club.
