If it appeared as if i was only blaming the gun, i apologize. I was not. I was only asking for assistance with a problem i was having and thought this was a good place for it. And for the record, you guys were correct. I put another 100 rounds through it yesterday. This time, Federal 2 3/4dr, 1 1/8 oz, 8 shot without any hiccup whatsoever. Thank you for the advice. I am very happy with this shotgun and was only looking for a little help. Thanks.

Help.
Second trip to the range with my new 24" 1301. 100 rounds of WWB 2 3/4 dram, 1 oz, 8 shot. Had approximately 20 FTF's during the session. It was well lubed. When I physcally work the action, I seem to feel a lot of resistance at the point in the cycle where the bolt engages the lifter. Not sure if that is normal but compared to my Xtrema II, it feels significantly greater. Any ideas?

Thx Trpr. I ordered a Carlson LM & IM thinking I can run either w/o slugs. Got it Friday, lubed it up, took it to the range this morning. First box of Fed 3dr, 1 1/8, 7.5 shot had FTF every round. After that, ran like a top with 3 different loads. slugs spot on also at 50 yards. No chance to print on paper. Just steel silhouette.

Woodbury Outfitters. Website says out of stock but call and they have some. Got mine Last Friday.

Trapr
I know you said your IC choke patterned well and was knocking over steel at 25 yds with 7.5 shot. Did you even bother with getting a light mod or did the IC suffice for a wider choke?

I've been loading quads off Taccom qualoads, which are good kit, for a while. yesterday ran quad loads off straight eights from IP. Immediately ordered another. No issues disturbing the 2nd grab shells on the first grab. lighter, more compact, and no need to roll the shells out from the top end. just grab and go. the row where the delrin bites the hull instead of the brass needs a little tightening with heat but thats it. extremely well made and Kevin seems to be truly customer oriented.

DJ please keep us posted. I'm eyeing a speed bolt vinci.

100lb test monofilament in whichever color you like. Fits perfect. Very cheap.

Any plans for future 3 gun matches?

Is the Shadow Target IDPA SSP legal? (ie machined slide for sights)

Is the SP-01 Shadow Target IDPA SSP legal?
-
"8.2.1.3.1. Sights may be changed to another notch and post type but slides may not be machined to accept different style sights in SSP. "
The Target still has notch and post sights. What does it mean by "machined to accept different STYLE sights" ? Does that mean a style other than notch and post? Or does it mean any machining of the slide at all?
-
I tried the search function with no luck. With the new weight rules, is a CZ Shadow Target legal for ssp or does the rear sight put it in esp?
-
RJH, did the same thing to me. Are you using Safari for a browser?

Are there slots still open?
-
My point exactly. Tell them with your voice and you wallet. They might not care about one unhappy customer...but then again, a lot of successful one's do.

I strongly doubt the sponsors will recognize that a couple of lost sales here and there are the result of the behavior of one of their shooters.
If you don't like what the shooter did, perhaps you should tell the sponsor directly.
Sorry. Bad clicker.
-
Don't want to hijack but just a thought in regard to what justuate is alluding to. What about the shooter's sponsor? Do you think they would condone this kind of behavior to represent their corporation? That was my first thought last year when I personally watched a very-well known shooter, sponsored by one of the biggest manufacturers, condone verbally belittling a beginning shooter on a relatively difficult stage. I lost all respect for the shooter AND the company in that moment and would think twice before buying their product just because of that incident.

Midway also makes a good drag bag (can't remember the length) that holds everything but ammo. I think it was somewhere around $70. Very well made except the zipper pulls. They come off immediately. I just ran 550 cord through all the zippers and works like a champ.

Concur. Great match. Thanks Charles. Next year, can the larue's be painted white? The orange made it very tough on color deficient folks when they were in the shadows. Just a thought.

How did you set up your load 4 vest? buy or build?

This weekend shooting 3 gun, my Xtremea II wouldn't run Winchester AA 7 1/2 shot running at 1145 fps. Once I put Federals running at 1200 fps, it ran fine. I had cleaned it and lubed it right before the stage so it wasn't dirty. Does Beretta make lighter recoil springs for the Xtrema?
-
I haven't shot TXMG/USMGN but for reference, just the Tarheel MONTHLY match regularly has 100 - 150 shooters. Throw in that the Challenge is a major and also part of the 3GN series with a decent prize table and that might explain it.

The updated match news mentions getting a "shooter info link" with squad lists, schedules, etc. Anyone got one yet?
3GN Rule 7.3.2.3 - Factory Rifle (magazines)
in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
Posted
7.3.2.3 All Rifle magazines must be of a thirty (30) round factory configuration and must not exceed the original factory produced length. There is no maximum capacity, as long as it is a factory 30 round magazine. Use of lower capacity magazines is allowed. The use of factory or aftermarket extended base pads, whether they increase capacity or not, are forbidden. The downloading of 50 /60 round drum magazines is not allowed. However, the use of magazine couplers that replace the floor plates and do not add length are allowed.
The bold print - are they just referring to allowing aftermarket followers and springs for increased capacity or is there something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance.
