  1. The fact that they post 4 classifier matches but not the one classifier matches seems to indicate that they understand what is going on. The rules are that any USPSA match has to be paid for... Whether you run classifiers or not...
  2. Maybe angle her body more towards 3 and 4 so her weight stays on her left (good) side and then swing to the left... Shoot 4, 3, 2, 1, stop... or 4, 3, 1, 2, stop whichever is easier for her.
  3. You can't force a PCC shooter to shoot one handed... But a PCC shooter can choose to shoot one handed if he wants to. If you feel the need for shooting while carrying a bowling ball on the move, the PCC shooter can set down the ball and shoot with two hands if he wants to... Then pick up the ball and run again... or shoot one handed on the move if he'd rather.
  4. I ordered a Wiland Modular Chassis System and a Stainless 10/22 LLW barrel... My order sat with the 'Pre Shipment' tag for a month... I called a few times and sent an email... Never heard back. At about the one month mark, I received the barrel... First 10/22 barrel I've installed so I took my time installing it... Another week after I received the barrel, my chassis arrived... Beautiful workmanship... Absolutely worth the wait. I had a complete action, so I completed the build in about an hour and drove out to the rang and shot it... Couldn't be happier... I don't remember the wait as much now... Hope you guys get yours soon.
  5. Lots of people run the 5015HD and steel buffer weight in standard carbine length buffer tubes... I ran my PCC like that for quite a while... But when you move the 5015HD and steel buffer weight to an A5 buffer tube with no other changes, you are effectively long stroking your PCC... Not usually what you want.
  6. As I remember the early slug was a little bit oversize... They came out with a second slug that was a bit smaller in diameter and had flat spots on the circumference to let air pass through... Similar to the buffer piston.
  7. That's too much... I think these guys are having some fun at your expense... No one would go in a porta potty after a gun unless it was (maybe) their gun.
  8. That's absolutely correct... I just found the right side charging handle to be super awkward in general. Looked at the Magnum Research receiver first but found it difficult to find one, plus it was a proprietary bolt/charging handle setup... Several friends bought complete MR rifles and slipped them into Wiland chassis systems, but that was too expensive for me... I checked out the Tactical Innovations receiver and talked to @Gregg Kabout his and decided to try one... I have all the parts except the Wiland chassis and barrel.
  9. It slowed down the WiFi connection and some of the scoring tablets dropped off the network... The first time it happened was during one of our large Level II matches, so I didn't really have time to analyze what was going on... It was especially bad at the end of the match... Everyone was trying to check their scores and I was still trying to pull all the match scores for the awards ceremony. Since then we have upgraded our tablets... Purchased a better router and mounted it in a better/higher spot on a flag pole... Part of my thinking on that was because PractiScore now sends more data per person... Not sure if it is significant traffic wise... Just sort of future proofing. Per your second statement... We have seven bays in a row at the back of our range... For large USPSA and SCSA level II matches we add an addition range that's about 300 yards away... I usually plug in a small travel router just for that range so I can grab the scores throughout the match... The master tablet syncs automatically to the second network so I can grab the scores... Then I upload the scores to my phone and upload them to PractiScore.com.
  10. The club has to allow open connections to their WiFi network for you (or anyone) to connect and sync scores to your own tablet. We used to run an open network and allow anyone to sync scores during matches... As more people started using PractiScore Competitor during matches, it put a load on our network and started slowing it down... Sort of a DOS (denial of service) attack, but not malicious. Now all of our matches have a secure network password, so no one can access the match scores during a match... However... I do upload the scores to PractiScore.com about once an hour during large matches... That way shooters can grab their scores without overloading our network.
  11. I also voted for a left hand charging handle... I'm used to ARs and PCC carbines... I borrowed a friends right handed RFRO about a year ago and found it to be awkward... Now I'm building one and it will be left hand charging.
  12. Thanks, @KelsonAK Very interesting/helpful write-up and video... You have a very analytical approach to your practice sessions... Interesting to see how you analyze your splits and expected splits on 5 To Go... Thanks for sharing it with us. ps: I'm 6'3", so I found your extra tip very interesting...
  13. It's been three weeks for my order... Still says "Awaiting Fulfillment" not pre shipment... Mybe I'm further down in the queue. Hope you get yours soon!
  14. Thanks for the explanation... First I have heard of the 'Clean' CCI SV ammo... I Googled it and found an interesting article comparing the clean and standard versions of CCI 22 ammo: https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2019/5/14/tested-cci-clean-22-ammo/ I have a lot of the standard CCI SV ammo and plan to use it in my Wiland chassis and sleeved barrel (once I get them)... If I have any trouble at this point, it would probably be easier/cheaper for me to buy a second barrel than to find different .22 ammo.
  15. Have you tried a genuine Glock magazine yet? It's possible that the magazine is located too high in your lower... My QC10 lower has a flat bar held in by a set screw that stops magazines from going up to far... Make sure your lower has that piece in the right spot... make sure that your magazines have a flat spot near the top that locates the magazine vertically so it doesn't go up too far... Maybe it got chewed up somehow.
  16. Interesting that you're running CCI SV through a shortened 10% spring in a Wiland sleeved barrel... Did you decide to shorten the 10% spring because you had jams, or did it just seem to run smoother/better? That's very similar to the Wiland chassis/barrel that I'm putting together... Still waiting on some parts, so I haven't shot it yet... I use CCI SV ammo in my RFPO Ruger Mk 2/3 pistol with good results... My thoughts are that the CCI SV runs well in my pistol with a shorter barrel than the Wiland sleeved barrel... So it should work well with the Wiland sleeved barrel. Happy to read that you have good luck with the CCI SV ammo... I have a fair bit of it and plan to run it in SC RFRO.
  17. That's a shame... I hope he is recovering... Feeling better. I ordered one of his chassis systems and a barrel a couple of weeks ago... Was going to call him... Guess I'll let him work in peace and catch up.
  18. I've never used a LRBHO device on any of my PCCs... No issues. Maybe your magazine springs are stiff... Try taking one round out and see if that helps... If you need more capacity, buy a Glock 31 round magazine and a Taran Tactical +10 extension... Load it to 38 rounds and you're good to go. Do you mean that the bolt catches on the magazine follower? Never seen that.
  19. Thanks for the details on the CCI Standard Velocity ammunition... I have a Wiland chassis and one of his sleeved barrels on order and plan to use CCI Standard Velocity ammunition... I've heard that some people have trouble with it in a Wiland sleeved barrel... My plan was to go with a lower weight recoil spring if I had trouble... Like I did with my Ruger Mk2/3 RFPO pistol... Thanks for confirming that plan... I'll order some of the springs while I'm waiting for the rest of my RFRO rifle parts to arrive.
  20. You can do the same thing by putting a piece of tape across the front of your red dot... It looks odd, but you can see the sight picture as long as you keep both of your eyes open... Good for training to keep both eyes open.
  21. Thanks for the update... I bought a three pack of the 10 round BX-1 magazines from Ruger and three of the DoubleKross magazine bodies from TandemKross... My plan is to take two of the Ruger BX-1 magazines and convert them to a DoubleKross... I'll use the third BX-1 to use as a control magazine in case I have some kind of issue with the DoubleKross... I also bought the assembly kit from TandemKross. I mainly bought these now because they were in stock... Wanted to have a couple of mags when I finally get all the parts to put my 10-22 together...
  22. The SI barrels require a notched bolt face, which I assumed is what SI did for you... How long did you run the SI barrel with the un-notched bolt? It's possible that the bolt smashed into the barrel ramp and damaged it.
  23. I've used most of what you're using with good results... Did you change anything else when you installed the SI barrel? Are you using the same buffer, spring and spacers (if short stroked) as before? Were you using the same Syntech ammunition with your other barrel? Might try a geniune Glock magazine.
  24. I've seen TandemKross double magazines, but I've never run across anyone actually shooting them in a match... Nice to hear that you've had good results with them... Wouldn't need magazine extensions with the double magazine... Had no idea that the magazine feed lips also performed as an ejector... I've built AR-15's and 9mm PCC rifles, but these 10/22's are quite a bit different... Appreciate all the tips.
  25. What magazines are you all using for the Wiland chassis? https://shopruger.com/10_22-Clear-Magazine-10-Shot/productinfo/90223/ Would like to use the Ruger clear 10 round magazines... $25 seems expensive... others available cheaper... not sure they are genuine Ruger... or if that actually matters... Read that some of the earlier Ruger clear mags were too large and didn't fit some of the 10/22 rifles.
