Just to add another option... Wiland also makes an ultralight PCC barrel.

120% receivers are dumb. Almost always heavier than a forged receiver set. Extra ports for dirt to get in, and blowback gases to get out. There's just no good reason for it besides "whoa it looks cool."

Since no one else mentioned them. Black Creek Precision. All the features of the QC10, in a forged package. Threaded for rear detent spring, threaded for bolt catch, doesn't require long bolt catch.

Recently switched from a 3MOA Venom on the Vortex-branded Samson mount to a 510c. In USPSA, the 510c is easier to pick up in situations where you might not have a perfect cheek weld. The dot is bright enough that even with the smaller size, I've never had an issue. I don't use the circle/dot, just the 2MOA dot, so it's far from busy. Haven't had the 510c long enough to comment on reliability, but I haven't heard of any failing, even from the guys running them on Open guns. The *only* issue is the square emitter reflection that appears when the sun is at just the right angle. I've only ever noticed it during LAMR, and it's never bothered me after the beep. You're welcome to check mine out next time you see me at a match!

I do need to check the inertia spring. Fired hull ejects, new shell doesn't feed. Doesn't make it all the way up into the chamber, and gets stuck between bolt and feed ramp. Yes, this is with Win AA 1250 7.5 1 1/8. As for the Aero slugs, 7/8 1300 has always run in this gun, until last month's match, where the spent hull stovepiped. Though at this month's match, the 3 I needed cycled fine. Going to try new inertia spring, new Benelli ejector and spring, new mag tube spring, and see where that gets me. I'd try the MOA bolt carrier mod if they had welded up parts in stock.

Those still running a Stoeger, who are you using for gunsmithing and parts? MOA never has what I want listed as in stock, and they never respond to emails. My MOA built M3000 needs some help; it's not reliable, even with WinAA 1250s. Same slugs it used to run all the time, Aero 7/8oz 1300fps, don't properly cycle any more. Thinking it's time to replace every spring in the gun as a starting point.

Did the survey. Mine's 8. Just getting started with rimfire rifle in Steel Challenge. He's shot rimfire pistols before, but not quite ready yet. He may shoot PCC in a couple years. I don't think the matches themselves are a limiting factor. Lots of majors in my area do reduced cost or free entry for juniors. There's at least a few juniors at any match I attend.

Ran across this the other day, interesting solution... https://magload.co.uk/shop/breech-flag-22

The PCC handguard is smaller diameter, since it doesn't have to clear a gas tube.

Maybe a bit off topic... but is anyone running the short stroke SCS with a Colt pattern lower?

I've never had a 20rd mag fail, before the problems with larger mags started or after.

Got it installed, haven't had a chance to test.

They're not wrong. I need to get some pistol practice in anyway between now and BwB 3gun.

Feed ramp was the first thing I checked. The setscrew had come slightly loose, so I was hopeful that was the issue. After cleaning, polishing, and loctite-ing in place, no dice.

This was a good idea to check, but no discernible wear on any mag slots or the catch.
