Can Affinity loading port be opened up as much as an M2?
doubleaay78 replied to INWdad's topic in Shotgun - Technical
You can take it a lot further forward, just be careful to not open the side opposite the shell latch too far, and keep the top portion of the follower lip intact as much as possible. An RCI Benelli 3-gun follower is a good idea as well if you take it more forward. -
It’s been asked before but I’ll ask again 24or26
doubleaay78 replied to sheepdog566's topic in Shotgun - Technical
I've used 21, 24 and 26 inch M2's extensively. The 24 and 26 feel very similar unless you are shooting them both back to back. If you are set on the 26 then get it switched, but the difference in length won't affect your performance in any measurable way. -
I use Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics, 7.5, 1200 or 1250 FPS. The hulls are really consistent, and are readily available. The biggest issue I see with the super cheap shells is inconsistent crimp, which can cause major feeding issues. I’ve opened boxes of federal top gun and found shot rolling around in the bottom of the box.

Abandoned firearm DQ?
doubleaay78 replied to kmca's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
What major 3-gun match did you shoot that didn't have a rule book? -
It's only a matter of time before pistol red-dots are legal in Tac ops...we allow red-dot rifle optics in 'irons'...a red dot on a pistol isn't as much of an advantage as big sticks and comps.

I have never shot an major outlaw match that didn't have a published rule book. I will assume that you have never shot an outlaw match, and that's why you haven't seen one... -
Bummer...I already have another match scheduled for Oct 8-10. Hate to miss this one, but previous commitments have to be honored.

Is anyone going to tell us who won the match? -

So how's the match? The world wants to know... -
SOF...where did it go?
doubleaay78 replied to doubleaay78's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
Thanks ericm, that's exactly what I was wanting to know. -
I've seen a lot of talk in the last year or so about the SOF match, and how amazing and great it was, and how 3-gun today is nothing like it used to be. I'm relatively new to this sport, my first major was TXMG in 2012, so my frame of reference is very limited. I haven't seen the answer anywhere else, so I'll ask it here: why did SOF cease to exist? I'm genuinely curious about what happened to it. Does anyone who was there care to share the story?

This is the fastest one I've seen...

When will the waiting list be published? -
Where did you pick yours up? Are you looking for an M2? Or a 1301?

Strong vs. Weak Hand shell reload
doubleaay78 replied to hceuterpe's topic in Rifle & Shotgun - Technique
Is there video of that posted anywhere? I would very much like to see it, that is crazy fast. -
Taran flies to a lot of matches, so everyone who knows him is accustomed to him leaving early to catch a flight. When match staff called his name and someone said 'Taran isn't here' everyone assumed he had asked someone else to collect his prize and trophy. Further attention was not brought to the situation when nobody appeared to collect for Taran, so none of the people who would have gladly walked for him were aware that someone hadn't already done it.

A Nordic +6 tube (9 total) is even with the end of the barrel on a 24" M2. The +7 tube (10 total) is even with the end of a 26" M2 barrel. Awesome, really appreciate that info. Just curious... what length tube is everyone running for 3 gun in your area? Seeing quite a bunch of 12 shell tubes lately. I run a 14 round tube in 3-gun. I'll be using a 12 at the World Shotgun Shoot in Italy next month because of tighter walls and ports. 12 is the norm here, I'm in central Texas. Thanks for the info! What barrel length are you running? 26" on my main gun, my backup has 21" barrel and 12 round tube.
