Do you guys (and gals) feel that the fiber optic front sight detracts from a quick well-aligned sight picture? Even if you have equal amounts of light on both sides?
-
We've got a good match in the works, folks... 6 stages, with a couple of high round count stages thrown in. Bring 20 slug, 20 buck, and 80 birdshot.
-
My most effective setup for reading the call was - if you add the two light bars on (each side of the front sight) together, you want that to equal the width of the front sight. (That's a good starting point, anyway.)
Thanks for the tip! I will give that a go
-
With regards to seeing one's sights after every shot is broken, and thru the sights lifting: Is a fat front sight that fills up the rear notch a better thing, or a skinny front sight that lets a little light around both sides?

Bryan,
You know what they say about not tootin' your horn.... jk
Nice job! looks tough, and a bunch of fun.
Who does all the taping and resetting? that's a bunch of walking!
-
Thanks to Daniel Horner, the AMU team, and all of the folks on base that worked very hard to put on a stellar match! Everything was well thought out in stage design, the facilities were excellent, and the staff was great also! I look forward to this match next year, and am already planning a return trip!
Trey
Anyone know where pics will be posted?

Guys
I'm going to be at Fort Benning 3 Gun match this weekend, and will have samples to check out...

-
Lots of PFC s in the past took care of all pasting and reset
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Ok... The last time I shot it in '06, we had to do our own resetting...
-
I was referring to assistance with resetting targets mostly... with an 8 person squad, only 5 are available to help paste/reset
-
Yeah, it was a surprise, but when we went back in to squad, we noticed that the sizes had been reduced from 12 to 8... that got us thinking, that maybe we will be blessed with some 'on the range' assistance...

Just took another look, and stage 3 has tank drawing
Click on it to get the zoomed view and that looks like the correct sketch.RoadKill, thanks for dropping stages last night. Stage 3 with the tank had same sketch as stage 4 with Skedco. They look great! Can't wait til Thursday!
Looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!

Jason, if she shoots and likes benelli, I have a new 20 ga RCI mag tube that I believe allows gun to hold ten rounds if you're interested
-
Ok.... Where's rest of the stages? Got a couple of days then we hit the road for trek to Columbus

sounds like holiday fun!

On SJC, I got it mounted and took it out for testing over weekend. Had two types of rounds to be tested, 77 HPBT MK hand loads, and WIN 55 grain white box.
Started with one round in mag and gas block closed, with the 77gr, using 12" square target at 25yds. Had the jet ports pointed up, as close to straight as I could get it. Had to open up gas block (Syrac) 6 clicks to get bolt to stay back. Recoil reduction felt good, but dot in scope was moving slightly up and to the right (I'm right handed).
I want ahead and switched to WIN 55gr, and had to open gas block up 2 more clicks to hold bolt back. This gave some more felt recoil, as reciprocating mass came rearward with a little more force. Still noticed slight up an to the right with dot on center of target.
I brought some shims along, and clocked the SJC to about 1:30-2 o'clock, to try and overcome the up and right movement in glass. It did help, and I moved back to 30 yards, and felt pretty good with decently quick doubles on the 12" target. Overall, I believe this brake has given me the best result of all brakes used and tested.
-
I think it's about .340, then .300, then .260, then .240
Only prob is the brake has been heat treated to mid 50's R/c
Would have to tool post grind holes open
I kept holes that size, trying to get some right side jet port effect to compensate for my left arm torque... I suppose I could rotate the brake, and open it up like you say to see what happens
-
Here's a side shot
-
I will post up a side shot pic at halftime.. I can't remember how much I stepped the hole diameters, but it's 3 different sizes... They are just too close to one another in size at te moment..
I machined them conventionally, using a Bridgeport and a 1/4" ball endmill... I machined each baffle pocket, with the rectangle around the baffle opening... I then came back with ball endmill and stepped down and over, using a calculated over-and-down formula for every 2.5 degrees. Then finished with stones and some polish
-
Koop,
On the trapezoidal one shown above, I made the face of the baffles volcano shaped, thinking it would peel away better... I believe the abrupt, flat faces work better, giving better recoil reducing performance...
And yes, it is under the 1" diameter rule, and 3" length from end of barrel
-
I've tried several brake combinations since I made this brake, and tried it out...
Of course I used the JP Cooley comp as my control, and tested all others against it.
I've used an Mstn PRI for quite awhile, and was fairly happy with the results... Recoil reduction was similar to JP, and muzzle rise was minimal...
I tried a Seekins brake, but it didn't help me with muzzle rise as well... It may have been due to not using the locking washer, and screwing it onto the threaded barrel portion all the way, and negating the effects of the radial forward ports...
Tried the Rolling a Thunder, and it was super heavy on front end, but had good recoil reduction... Needed a hole drilled in side to overcome my torque of left hand hold, but it's weight made me shelve it
I've recently purchased an SJC Titan, and am in process of machining it to fit my old JP barrel... One note I left out is that the old barrels had an oddball thread size, I imagine to prevent folks from slapping any old brake or suppressor on there... Thread was 9/16-28, so every brake I've tried, I've had to bore new hole from purchased 1/2" diameter, and run 9/16" tap in bored hole...
What I'm wondering lately, is if the weight of a muzzle brake can adversely affect a barrel's accuracy, since a heavier brake would cause barrel to 'whip' a little more during firing...
