Let's break what isn't broken. We have more matches around the country than ever before and nearly all of them fill.
We have two problems and neither have to do with rules.
#1 Not enough workers of matches.
#2 New guys shooting 3-Gun as their very first competition shooting event. (I want to juggle 3 running chains saws before I know how to hold one)
BOOM!!!!!!

Had it done on my left thumb in 2009. Have never had any problems after surgery.

Thanks so much Mark! I saw the first attempt at the RM3G/He-Man video and like RM3G, it wasn't short stages! :roflol:But, it did cover things - so I know when it gets posted it will be very useful!
Thanks rtb...PLEASE call or write the Colorado Chamber of commerce and tell them you are flying into Albuquerque just to avoid our stupid and pointless laws!!! http://www.dexknows.com/local/government_and_community/business_associations/geo/m-denver-co/att/chamber-of-commerce/?gclid=CK3mgMew-MMCFQqFaQodzk8A1w This link is technically to Denver, but it's as close as I can get...and Denver's the stupid place anyway.
On elementmultigun, they have a packing list for RM3G...though you need to add duct tape! You're going to be covering ground WHILE shooting, so start your workout program now!!
That includes neck exercises so you can have your head on a swivel to find targets. Shooters tell me their best advice is...on all gully runs, look behind every big rock, because JJ will have put a target there! 
Everybody else...what else does he need to know???
DeniseDon't fly to Denver, flights were cheaper, but got hammered with a $1000.00 rental car last year.

I was about to go to my LGS and pay CA prices for a Model 60 Pro Series.

Then I saw the other thread...
Has anybody had good luck with a recently made S&W revolver? Or should I just not make this purchase?
I had bad luck with a recent SP101 purchase (the trigger locks up with live fire) and don't want to get burned again.
As the originator of the "other" thread, I have purchased quite a few recent manufactured S&W revolvers that are great, Normallt I purchased from a local gun shop where i can inspect the firearm, in the case of my 929 I purchased it from an out of state distributor and could not inspect it before purchase. If your local GS will allow you to properly inspect the gun here are a few tips.
Take six empty resized cases all the same brand with you, load them in the cylinder and check the timing by slowly pulling the trigger and look to make certian the cylinder bolt locks up before the hammer falls, I normally put a slight drag on the cyllinder by resting my thumb against it. Also take a set of feeler gauges with you and check the gap between the empty case and the firing pin recoil shield .007 inches is perfect and .012 is acceptable, check this for each cylinder, they shoild all be within .002 inches. Next check the gap between the barrel and cylinder .003 is good .04 is ideal and anything over .008 is too much, you should check both sides as some of the newer guns have as much as .005 differnce, this is definately not good. Next do a visual inspectiion are their any mars in the finish, does the barrel look line it is on straight, If everything checks out chances are you will not have any problems witht he gun, I see the GS have 10 in stock check as many as you can untill you find the one you like best,
Same problem with timing. 5 cylinders in time 3 out.
Terrible for something that came out of the custom shop.

Jared - I switched from the open front 771 mag pouches to the 773 closed front, mainly because the mags would fall out
if bumped, which happens a lot in multi gun or just bending over to reset steel targets.
I also like the 773 for the same exact reasons for multi-gun. I do still use 771 for pistol matches.

Replace the lifter spring & that should slove the problem.

Okay i'll throw this out there. What about when AD's happen while RO's are unloading a previous ditched safe weapon, for the sake of saving time. Seen it happen 3 different times at 3 different matches over the years.

? price range on the H&M nitride finish? Went to the website and did not see a price list
I believe they will do the whole gun for around $200.00

I ran a 16" rifle length gas for several years when I was with DPMS & never had any problems shooting 55 gr. Blitz Kings at 3150. It would shoot under 2" at 300 yds. Still have 2 of them & both are great shooters. Only problem I ever ran into, is when I put a titanium carrier in it. Then it started to not cycle properly, changed back to a standard carrier & problem solved.
Shooting a JP 18" now with rifle length gas. It always works no matter what carrier is in it. Currently running a Rubber City Armory low mass carrier.

H & M Black Nitride is a great beautiful finish & turn around is unbelieveable.

Merry Christmas to all........

I'd be up to coming if the timing is right, from Indiana.

I'm getting old and am still a product of my generation. I prefer to mail it in, especially when there is a "send it in" date. I don't like sitting at the computer with some sort of "Doomsday" countdown. Especially when people have all their non shooting buddies waiting to get a registration number for them.
My thoughts exactly......

Looks like your tube spring may be weak & not allowing the rounds to come back enough to allow the lifter to raise. It could also be the lifter spring has become weak, just like a Benelli will sometimes.
Does it happen towards the end of the string, when there is less tension on the tube? If so, I bet it's a weak spring.

Jared71,
If you really want to tell someone about the sporting side of firearms….take them shooting!
If YOU (we) can get more of the voting public on "our side" then we can make a difference.
As Denise said the NRA knows about 3-gun and the many other competitions with self loading firearms.
Congress" knows" about them too, but we should not expect, nor should we offer an exemption for our sport.
As it has been said…if you we don't hang together, we will surely hang separately!"
We have power in our numbers…
I'll say this again…loudly "IF EVERY GUN OWNER WAS AN NRA MEMBER AND VOTED ,CONGRESS WOULD HAVE TO ASK OUR PERMISSION TO TAKE A CRAP!"
This is it exactly!

it matters not what we want; it is what they want. the statists want to disarm the potential resisters. that is all. that is why the founding fathers put in the 2nd amendment. not for sport, or for hunting, but for self-protection against the tyranny of the state. got it now?
