  1. I was in the middle of installing my new flat faced Apex trigger kit when I got to the point of replacing the sear. Apparently there is the older block that has the 1/16" spring or the required version that is 1/8". I have the smaller. I've called apex and checked the usual gun part online stores. Does anyone have suggestions on where I can find a block?

  2. If anyone hasn't heard, there is a new 3 gun match in Upstate South Carolina the 2nd Saturday of each month at SCOTG. Look us up on Facebook at COG 3 Gun. We are now on month 3 and filling up fast. Last month we had 75 shooters and a waiting list. All money goes back into the match. This is truly a shooters run match!

    Last month we did a suppressor stage and gave away 2 suppressors from Palmetto State Defense.

  3. I've been looking for carriers as well and thought about making some for me and my shooting gang. There's not much to them and I have some material laying around the shop. Any patent issues with any of them? I like the aluminum ones.

  4. Just got my tactical back from getting modified and had some questions not related to the work performed. I sent the gun out 20 minutes after Purchasing it, so I didn't even see it together.

    When reassembling, should there be a gap where the barrel meets the action area. There is a gap of roughly 3/16" between the rib and action.

    The second question I have is the spring tension for the tube. It seems very heavy. To the point I can barely load the 8th round. Do people typically cut these down? Look forward to running some rounds through it before the next match. Thanks

  5. Even though being fairly new to 3 gun and competitive shooting in general, I've started to notice how the outside shooting world perceives 3 gun as some inferior shooting sport. It may just be the area of the country I'm located but local ranges seem reluctant to accept or offer match opportunities for multi gun shooting. I would go so far as saying, as I am at my local club practicing, I feel like I get the "stink eye" from more traditional shooting members who see me running more than a pistol down a practice stage I've set up. Is it just me or are there others who see this epidemic occuring on the local level. I know I could soly travel to all of the large 3 gun matches and feel welcome but want that same passion accross the board. I'm really excited to see the sport advance the way it has in the short year I have been following it and hope that other shooters embrace and welcome it as well. Thoughts?

  6. Bill, this course looks totally awesome was thinking about shooting steel in Spart. to get home early, now I'm torn as to go to 3 gun and get my butt kicked shooting 3 gun and then again when I get home.

    Come on man! You'd rather stand in 1 spot and shoot 5 stationary targets instead of testing ALL your skills with 3 guns? Man up and come to Belton. We'll have someone watch your purse while you shoot. ;)

    Wow. Bill just served up a.."Get some! " On you Mike. Now you've got to show. I think Bill's ticked at us for leaving early at WG.

  7. I hate to admit a problem with my (so far) flawless Beretta Xtreme 1 but at the last local match, first stage, the gun immediatly had a cycle problem. To give some background, I have owned the gun for many many years. Initially, I broke the gun in the suggested way to cycle lighter loads. Since then, I have happly ran any and all loads through the gun. A week before the last match, I took the gun to a local Beretta gun smith for a complete cleaning since it never had one. Got it back and now this....

    Today I did go out and try it again with some low recoil cheap Winchester low brass. Same problem, action is half way back, spent shell casing is ejected and the next round is half way up in the action. Oiled the action up and then it wouldn't even remove the spent round.

    Next test was trying some high brass 1 1/4 oz. Cycled fine like it should?? What has changed? Did he put something back to tight if that could happen. It does feel like something in the action about half way back catches. It is not a smooth pull all the way back. Don't recall if it was like that.

    Help... If you saw this on AR forum sorry...
