My VR80 20 rd drum mag is giving me fits with FTF issues. When I first got it, it ran fine. The gun went through it's terrible 2s where nothing ran reliably. I took off the big comp (and gave it away), cleaned the shotgun, and now 5, 10, and 19 rd run reliably with bird buck and slug. The drum will nose up FTF every 1-3 rounds. When I insert the drum, it has vertical play at the mag catch. It's likely not more than 1/16". I removed the TACCOM buffer and went back to factory, the tube is screwed out to a point that all the stick mags work. Other than the Tooth&Nail trigger, it's basically stock. Any thoughts?

Anyone have a drop in trigger available yet? Dave

I had similar problems at BGSL today. Some were self inflicted-don't try to shoot slugs off hand with the 20 round drum in (too heavy). My bolt wouldn't go back as far with the Taccom buffer as the factory. I had several instances of partial feed yesterday. I re-installed the factory buffer today and it is back to running smoothly. Mod was perfect for everything at this match. I'd like to keep the fluted cover when I get a muzzle brake. I wonder if I could cut it back and use it as the lock nut? Dave

My LGS has one . If interested call Uncle Dan's (270) 737-1316 ask for Trey Dave

Lol I have one. That's enough for me.

My local gun shop got a VR 80 today. I don't know where he found it. Dave

Comp-large or small? Which works better?

The VR 80 is home and runs like a top. I've fed it a variety of birdshot and it has been flawless. The 5 and 9 (now10) round mags all work as does the 20 round drum I put a Trijicon reflex sight I've had for years on it and zeroed it with slugs at 50 yds. I'll put another 100 rounds through it and then install the Taccom buffer. Dave

I tend to throw the shells on the ground when quad loading

My VR80 arrives today. I changed a 9rd to a 10 last night. Pretty simple operation-cut about 1" off the follower and rounded the edges. Drum is due to arrive Saturday and 19 rounder whenever they ship it. This should sure be better than quad loading. Dave

What time is check in Wednesday and is there one Thursday Morning?

I'll be there on the 18th. And shooting my M1D.

This is why I shoot 3 Gun and very rarely shoot USPSA anymore. Folks hoping to DQ someone not on what was observed but what is speculated. It sucks the life out of this sport.

Nice job Bryan! I haven't seen it rain this hard in a long time! Radar looks like the Rock is getting the same storm. ROs should have fun tomorrow!

Post 64 in this thread states shooting will start at 7:45 daily If it's like previous BRM3G, we'll shoot 3 stages per day. No lunch break and , historically, finish mid/late afternoon. Later we will gather in front of the lodge and lie about how we burned down stage #X.

I received one of those beat up 75s yesterday. It came from a dealer called Mach 1 in Knoxville. The finish is well seasoned but the action is butter smooth and the barrel is good. Test fired last night-accuracy is as good as new.

Doe Valley should be a real mud pit. I packed my Joe Guthrie authorized cleats and ski gators for it.

Excellent, thanks

The info email sent recently states: "you must have your caddies and shotgun with you for equipment check at check in" Is this required for the non-IPSC outlaw division shooters?

Wicked good fun

Love the wood grips-big hands

I used the TS 9 in 3 gun this season and really like it. It is ready to go out of the box, I've added FO front sights and adjustable rears but that's personal preference. I recently purchased a TS 40 for limited and offered one of my 9mm for sale on the 3 gun yard sale FB site-no takers. (it was FTF only) It seems like there was a frenzy here for a while and then it died off. Could be end of season slump. Dave

Stage one starts with rifle slung but states near the end "A loaded shotgun is allowed to be slung on this stage" It will make more sense when walking the stage. Some devious Andy stuff designed to make children cry and shooters bleed from their ears I'd imagine.

Steve- Bryan thought 8 was in Doe Valley. Looking at the layout, I'd say he is right. Dave
