Yes it doesDoes it have the MTAC reticle?

Alright I'm all signed up for my first TFD. Had to miss BRM last year so this will be my "make up" match. Looking forward to this one.
One question, will there be a zero range? March weather in MN can be questionable at best. So it's possible that our local ranges might still be inaccessible.

Going into my 3rd season this year with the Burris MTAC. Tough to beat for the money.

Who brought the popcorn?
No popcorn, but I was sitting at my PC with a bevy reloading this page about every 30 seconds.......my wife thinks I'm a dork
Turns out JT couldn't get enough cell signal with all the people there to get out the videos for the final 8.......bummer

Wow!!! This may be a record for "users reading this topic" 30. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Dammit. Jesse's videos aren't showing up mobile for some reason.

Did they remix the bracket? I thought it was Payne and Horner.

Yep, getting a .22 auto loader to run on Remington "Golden Bullets" is like trying to get my 540 HP Camaro to run on 87 octane. Results are going to be disappointing at best.
That is interesting that you say this. Golden bullet is my go to run in any of my guns ammo. It is the only one I've found that works in all my auto loaders, marvel conversions and my newly built spikes 22 upper. I know that marvel and others even recommend GB. It's pretty much the only .22 ammo I buy anymore. Cheap and runs in everything I own, and I have a lot of .22's.
I used to think the same thing. I purchased a couple thousand rounds of it a few years ago to practice for the Ruger Rimfire matches and it ran so well that I decided to run it at the actual match. So I went out and bought another case of it before the match and that entire case was total crap. About 1 in every 50 rounds didn't have any priming compound in the rim. The velocities were all over the place, I had constant cycling problems due to under charged cases. It was just junk and cost me dearly at the match. The rest of the case got burned up as practice ammo and I would use it for practice ammo now since .22 ammo is so hard to find, but I wouldn't buy it if there are other options available.

Most reliable bulk ammo I've found for it is the Federal 525 "blue-box" with the 36gr copper coated HP bullets. Ran 500 through my .22 upper last weekend with 2 failures, both of which were stove pipes.
FWIW, I had to do a lot of work on the feed ramp and chamber mouth to get it to feed anything reliably. My barrel and bolt did not come from Taccom, but Tim was good enough to advise me what to do to get mine running even though I was not using his parts. If I were to start over I would have just bought from him.

What should I do to improve the force of the hammer?
You could try a GI hammer spring and see if it fits. Without having them in front of me I can't tell you if they are interchangeable or not, but the design is similar. I'm guessing the Jard has a lighter spring than mil-spec. I haven't tried my .22 upper on my lower with the Jard trigger, would be an interesting test as my Jard trigger comes in at just under 2lbs. I know it works with my JP at 3lb 5oz though.
-
No wonder I'm getting light strikes with my Jard #2 trigger with a colt .22 conversion. Going to try the #3 spring
Sorry, but I don't think this is going to help you out. Changing the coil spring in the Jard that sets trigger weight isn't going to give you any more strike force at the hammer.
-
I had posted a while back about .40 to 9mm conversion barrels for the 5.25. It seems like a subject none of the big hitters in the XDm market really want to converse about for some reason or another.
-
Haven't seen one in person, but it's a 1-5X and 1.5-8X........not 1-8X. As far as the brand goes, Burris is solid and proudly stands behind their products.
-
Since Marcus Luttrel was there as an on set adviser, I think this is going to be really good. Just knowing the story of what happened on that mountain makes me feel small.
-
Shell catches, follower doesn't because it doesn't have a lip/rim to catch on
Until the gun cycles. All this would do is turn the follower into the last shot in the tube. As a bonus, you would have a bunch of coil spring in the action to make things really interesting.
-
Huh???......How would that keep it from spitting the follower on to the lifter?
Could be I'm missing something...........been known to happen.

Mine with an 18" mk12 barrel, Rolling Thunder comp, Nordic 15" HG, Burris MTAC 1-4 in the PEPR mount and Magpul ACS stock comes in at 9.65 lbs.

There are others out there but the VTAC sling is a great way to go.

I much prefer clamp on gas blocks as opposed to set screws. So it would be a no for me.My Syrac locked up too. I'm now installing the cool Seekins Precision field adjustable gas blocks. What's the word on the street about those?
I tried a clamp on but they are so close to touching the hand guard. I couldn't get a rail but under it either. Plus I didn't notice any benefit either. Am I missing something?
With a clamp on you get a tighter fit that is even throughout the circumference of the barrel so it basically fits up tighter and seals the gas better. Also no need to dimple the barrel for proper installation. They are easier to remove if needed, as quite often you will get a burr under the set-screws. I've also read that set screws can also add a stress point to the barrel. That said, I've never personally seen a barrel pick up accuracy from switching over to a clamp on block, but the concept seems valid. With the set screws your gas block is attached just with pressure on the top and the bottom, so as the barrel and gas block heat up I can see how things might move around.
-
I'm curious about these as well. No doubt the Nordic barrel is nice, but the Ice Arms mid-weight 18" 1-8 twist barrel with rifle length gas comes in at 4oz lighter and at a very attractive price. Right now with a Christmas discount they are like $180. They also have a 16" 1-8 twist, mid length with poly rifling that comes in at 1.8 lbs that looks interesting for $166.
Anyone have real world first hand experience with them? Have they stepped forward to help support any matches?

For long range practice I use 9" paper plates stapled over used IPSC targets. Using a Burris MTAC it's easy to bracket the dots in the reticle over the plates for groups and the plates size wise are a good representation of the flash targets used at most matches for 300+ yard shots.
-
openclassterror you can't go wrong with doing business with Tim. He knows the .22 conversions inside out and helped me get mine running reliably even though it came from a different manufacturer. In hind sight I would have been way better off buying one from Taccom that was already dialed in.
The NC uppers are also very nice if you can find one

What Dan said or this is what I have on 3 of mine http://www.midwayusa.com/product/929048/yankee-hill-machine-free-float-tube-handguard-bipod-stud-steel-matte
Cleaning Time
in Rifle - Technical
Posted · Edited by Shooter115
For my 3-Gun rifle, pistol and SG. They get cleaned thoroughly at the start of the season and before any major match. Other than that it's pretty much wipe them down and lube where needed unless we get rained or snowed on.
Pretty sure I've never had a gun that I ran 2500 rounds through without cleaning it at all.
For the carbon build up, there's a product called Fireclean that works really well.
