I’ve seen a bunch of shooters using the ratchets on their belts. I have always been a little concerned about it pulling apart or breaking during a stage. Any issues with breakage?
They are designed to hold snow boards on snow boarder's feet. Velco won't do that.

Would a CR Speed belt work better with the ratchet system if you took off the Velcro on the outer belt just in the front where it overlaps?
Anybody done this?
I have my ratchet on a Safariland belt, just trimmed till it has an inch gap wrapped around me.

So how does the Brass Juice work? Is it a soak and rinse?
I wet tumble with Brass Juice, no pins. Run my FART 30-40 minutes and brass comes out pretty clean. After resizing I clean off lube in my FART with Blue Coral car wash soap and no pins. Really looks nice after and all the lube is gone.

How does the ratchet work when the other belt is fully lined with velcro as all normal belts are? Doesn’t this restrict or prohibit the ratching?
I start the tab into the ratchet then wrap the belt around me starting at the holster, since it is the most important thing on the belt. When the holster is perfect, I start tightening the ratchet, and yes over the inner Velco belt.

Good chance Jerry may have made it. He is a pretty good machinist/gunsmith in his own right and has a nice shop at home.

How does the Everglades work for a 2011 Edge with the STI plastic grip?

We took some MGM plate racks and made an axle on one end using wheel borrow wheels (was maybe a foot wider total than the plate rack) and then put a piece of tubing and hitch on the other end. I have seen plate racks mounted on good size solid rubber casters.

Taccom is designing a wrench or choke?
More likely a comp you don't need to remove to change chokes.

Just did the modification myself this weekend on my Safariland belt. Full install in less than 10 minutes including cutting the belt for size. You can buy the full ratchet setups with mix and match colors from M2 Inc that’s half the price of buying it from Carbon Arms
Now that it’s set up, couldn’t imagine running the setup without it. Great retention and infinitely easier than trying to work the studs on the Safariland belt.
Check out M2 Inc, only thing limiting you is your imagination. They ship super fast, my order went out 3 hours after I placed it!

CDI Torque. You can grab them on Amazon. It's a Snap-On Industrial brand (along with others, like Williams, Bahco, etc.). Good quality without the huge price tag of the Snap-On name. I have like 3 or 4 of them. Originally bought them for automotive stuff, but use them for guns too.
CDI and Precision Instruments made torque wrenchs for Snap-On until about 10 years ago. The Snap-On made their own the electronic torque wrenches. The CDI and Precision Instruments are a lot better. I have both including some that are 40 years old. The CDI/Precision are much better than the in house Snap-On wrenches and are a lot cheaper.

Sorry to necropost this thread. I’d like to shoot this match in 2020, if it comes around again. For those flying or have flown to this match, what airport do you recommend we fly into? Is it DFW or is Love Field an option?
To Dallas area, either one. The range is west of Fort Worth, just south of Weatherford

The height is not critical. Enough to keep the lifter from overriding the shell latch will fix the lock back problem. A lot less height that you see in the earlier pictures will fix the lock back issue.
Thanks!

In addition to keeping the lifter lowered for easier loading, that modification also stops a rare but potential issue of the bolt locking open with rounds in the tube (I've seen 3 guns out of hundreds that would do this - lowering the lifter just a bit stopped the problem)
Steve, how high should the block be?

What are you going to use your shotgun for?
-
You could always drive up to the Austin area and have Virgil Tripp or Aaron/Ben Hayes go though the pistol.
-
Could you tell us more about the gun? Parts used, how much work you did yourself, sent out?
-
Magnums are fine, all I use are Remington 7 1/2 on rifle and 5 1/2 on pistol. They work great.
-
I have one on my PCC, works great, shake awake, clear. Read the instructions to set up, the reticile can be set constant, or automatic. Use constant for competition.

the Benelli M2 3 gun model is $2500 range and it doesn't have the lightened bolt and other mods that the TT has. I don't mind paying I just cant stand the crappy service.
I have ordered Taran's base pads, springs, followers. They get out orders in a few days, but the post office where they are is pretty poor and loses stuff right and left. However when they do TT stands up big time. The post office there lost my order, and TT called me back that afternoon because the tracking number was issued but never moved. TT because of the hassle sent me a couple extra packages of mag springs and followers for the hassle.
One problem with the shotguns, pistols is the time custom building them, plus if one of the gunsmiths get sick, goes on vacation stuff gets behind. Now they should let you know and give you some idea on delivery.

One thing most important NEVER, NEVER, touch your press or handle primers without safety glasses on!!!!! That way if something goes wrong your eyes are protected!

Use the large, the small bar does less that perfect drops getting close to 20 gr's. Now the small bar works great in the 3-10 grain range.

Ill upload some stuff to YT later if youd like. I have some stuff on my IG @dk3gun if you want to check out some of the stages.
It was a very fun match. USPSA with rifles basically. 40-50 was the longest target.
If you had good footwork and positional ability, you would do very good on the stages.
One stage killed my overall, as its USPSA hit factor scoring.
VIR should have some distance I think, so I'm excited for that!
I've thought of going up to the Tulsa match. I regularly shoot 3 gun out to 500 yds.
How many stages was it? Reseting go real well?

Out of coated bullets, Blue Bullets with Titegroup does not smoke very much. Other coated bullets smoke pretty bad with Titegroup.
I have a couple thousand other coated 9mm bullets so I changed my powder from Titegroup to Sport Pistol. Sport Pistol in my 40's with Blue Bullets is very clean, even the brass looks like it was just tumbled!
