To figure out the length, measure from the gas block to ???

How do I know if I have a carbine, mid, or rifle length hand guard? I have an Armalite m-15 with a 16in. barrel.

I had the same question a few months ago, but had a ghost image whenever I used both eyes. Everyone one I talked to just said "train and it will go away", but no one told me how to train so the ghost image problem stayed and I just got frustrated. For the longest time, I just put a small piece of scotch tape over my left eye on my shooting glasses. This obscured my vision out of that eye just enough that the ghost image went away, but I could still see for reloads and still had my pariphrial vision. However, a shooting instructor friend of mine recently sent me the explanation below. It really made sense to me and in the short little practice time that I have tried it the ghost image is becoming less noticeable. Hopefully, now that I know what I am supposed to be practicing I will be able to remove the tape on my glasses soon.

A couple of questions... #1 Can I still shoot in USPSA Production division with a replacement/after market barrel? #2 Are there any barrels that you guys would suggest?

Haha... but I do believe it said "loading a Glock 35 for years".

That was what I was thinking also. I have a good lead bullet manufacturer here in town and I think I will just buy a couple hundred to load and test through my gun.

I had one a year or so ago, and liked it. There were no gun control issues. The reason I traded it for a Glock 19 was that being a big guy (6'8") with large hands, the grip just never felt right. My pinky was totally off the grip and my ring finger barely stayed on. I was a good gun, I just needed something with a longer grip for my conceal carry.

What is the big deal about lead in a Glock? I hear some say definitely not and others swear by it. I spoke to a guy at a match today that said he has been loading lead for his Glock 35 for years. He said he started off checking the barrel every 50-150 rounds for build up, but never saw any problems as the rounds and years have added up. Does this glock lead "problem" just vary depending on the specific gun?

I recently got a Glock 34 and after a friend mentioned the "just in case" factor I now toss the g19 int the bag as well. If anything, it keeps a bad day from getting worse by not getting to finish the match.

I am still a new shooter (about a year) and I agree about it being pointless. I signed for a USPSA membership to take advantage of their classification system and as one way to judge the development of my abilities. If a local match doesn't have a classifier, I do get disappointed and if they made a habit of it, I probably would stop going.
