I really like the SJC Titan in titanium on my lightweight "bay" 3g rifle.

Agreed, Tooth and Nail have been very helpful getting me replacement parts for my XN series gun.

I'm a big fan of the Rudy photochromatic red lens. They "auto darken" and really make the red dot "pop".

I installed a SV ignition kit into a Springfield 1911, with a bit of adjustment to the sear spring, it breaks at 1.5lbs. I couldn't be happier.

It's beautiful, enjoy!

Acetone and a stainless brush as others have mentioned. Also, use a liberal amount of thread locker, I was told that any extra that was not supposed to be there, would just come out as you tighten the comp.

I chose to have a local smith Blue print and true a 700 action and chamber a premium barrel. If I had to do it all over again, I'd pick up a RPR 223 and call it a day.

I have a Pelican 1470, its holds 2 open guns perfectly. Ill try to post a couple pictures tonight.

I have my SV open guns set to 18ozs. Roughly 11 oz of take up pressure, 7 more ozs of final brake pressure.

I bought a 12x10' mesh landscaping tarp from Harbor Freight for $27, cheap , easy and durable.

I use the bubble level in my MPA chassis to be level, then adjust the scope's vertical cross hair to match a plumb bob hung 25yrs away.

It's hard to find used super comp at a decent savings. Your best bet is to get a couple people to go in on a bulk buy directly from SL. If you buy 18,500 pieces the price decreases to 13.5 cent each, if you buy 60,000 the price goes down to 12.6 cents per. When practicing I shoot 600ish rounds, and spend 15 min at the end picking up brass and recover 95 percent of them. While shooting locals, I pick up my marked cases as i'm walking down to paste and retrieve about 80 percent. Major matches are lost brass, and typically are 250ish rounds. Assuming you shoot brand new brass, it adds $31 to your match fee, which is insignificant in the grand theme of things.

I have a MKA1919 from T&N, It runs 99.999% with Winchester AA 1145. It's also half the price of a done up Vepr

Safariland 014. Rock solid retention, zero gun wiggle while holstered and a effortless draw stoke.

I've been very happy with the RHT thumb rest.

I have 2 open guns, My "practice gun" is used for practice, dry fire and local matches. I take off the top end and wipe out / lube every 700-1000 rounds, clean the extractor tunnel every 3000 and do a full tear down twice a year. My "match gun" only gets used in Lvl 2 and above matches. It gets cleaned and lubed before each match, extractor tunnel every 1000 rounds and a full tear down twice a year.

Wolff standard rate 7lb recoil spring with a Wolff 17 main spring seems to be the sweet spot for me.

7min from house = $55 per year and volunteering 10 hours uspsa practice range= $200 per year 400 rifle range = $30 per year

I belong to 3 ranges. The first is a 7min drive from my house and work. it offers a stand and shoot pistol bay and 100yrd rifle range The second is a 40 min drive, but allows much better uspsa style practice. stages are typically left up for members to shoot. The third is 45 min away and has a 400 yard rifle range

SV uses 6-40 screws not 5-40. Fastenal or a similar online retailer will have them.

I have 2 identical guns. My "practice gun" is used for club matches, dry fire and range practice. My "match gun" is only used for level 2 matches. The idea is, keep all the wear and tear on the practice gun, and hopefully the match gun wont break a part when it really counts.

I have no experience with the Ammobot. I do own a M7 and I'm beyond impressed with it. I recently had a sensor fail, I called, talked to a real person, and they shipped a free replacement out same day. Couldn't ask for a better company to deal with.

Really happy with my Pro Ears Gold Mag muffs. Very comfortable, great seal around the ear, and the electronics work great.

10lbs wolfe recoil spring with rubber buff and 17lb MS. 170pf 200 grain bullets, feels great.

I have had great luck with uncut Wolfe extra power FP springs and stock SV firing pins in all 3 of my infinity pistols. As Don_B said, primer seating depth and brand could play at part in this. Whats the round count on the gun? Have you ever changed the main spring?
