Great match Dean! I've never seen a more smoothly run 3gun match. Thanks to all the sponsors and hats off to the very hard working embedded RO's who worked theirs asses off and still managed to win the WV match! Congrats to all the winners!

I'll finish the match I started with my team for this 2012 Colt Series.....I do what I say and say what I mean. It is a very fun match no doubt and yes we also traveled far and spent a lot of money to attend it. ESPECIALLY since there are cash/prizes and huge sponsors. And well known shooters attending. Just never know this was like golf and bowling with handicaps and all. No hard feelings really.....

1. And at ALL other matches DQs go home due to safety and none of your score counts for nothing. 2. This scoring method wasn't listed in the rules. IMHO a shooter that DQs their team on a stage: that team on that stage should receive the max time allowed and the FTEs and misses counted for the DQd shooter of that Team. But I digress...

Just to show how badly the modifier formula skewed the numbers, First 30 teams scores with the weird formula ended up like this: 1. 505.17 2. 577.23 3. 603.69 4. 766.40 5. 594.85 6. 612.12 7. 817.42 8. 841.91 9. 673.13 10. 443.14 DQ'd on stage 4 11. 722.43 12. 812.67 13. 825.04 14. 967.95 15. 1000.74 16. 822.05 17. 965.70 18. 982.99 19. 938.69 20. 905.05 21. 883.09 22. 857.78 23. 888.40 24. 867.62 25. 923.08 26. 1220.74 27. 974.70 28. 912.57 29. 1074.43 30. 967.85 So in the end it really isn't Time-Plus.....

I guess my main beef is reading the rules as they were made available. I don't care what they do in Rome since we aren't in Rome.

I'm not a scholar in math but The Virginia Arms Shooting Team (Jensen, Simon & Lipscomb) should be 5th place not 9th place, if we're using strictly Time-Plus as listed per the rules available on the Topton website.....

"that's a bargain at 1/2 te price!"

Brett Simon is one hell of a handgun shooter (Master-class). IIRC he also used a Glock 17 with night sights not his normal race gun.

They did one that way! http://www.snorgtees.com/wanted-dead-and-alive

Hahahaha! Great stuff!

I just got a 24" vent rib barrel for my SLP Mk 1, It's a lot better balanced than the 22" cantilever scope mount bbl and it uses Invector Plus choke tubes.

Thanks for the great match Dean and crew and for the supporters like Lancer etc.

Team VA Arms Co had a blast shooting with you guys too as well as everyone else on our squad. I sent you a PM here on the Enos forums.

Great match as usual Dean. I shot primarily rifle and a little pistol, Brett shot primarily pistol and a little shotgun and rifle and Dan shot primarily shotgun with a little pistol and rifle. Team VA Arms placed 3rd. And we picked up the three certificates for the three Lancer lowers can't wait to get them. Nice prize table too. Any chance on having a similar match 3-man 3-rifle match I think that would rock. Later, Robb

It was a great match, I highly recommend attending this if you haven't in the past. There might be another in September of this year! It was great as said by the other poster they had a full auto AK for us on one stage. On another stage they had a iron sighted FAL, an EMR (accurized M14) and a M40A3 sniper rifle that everyone shot as part of the stages. I did pretty well. I was 1st place Civilian (and I believe 2nd or 3rd place overall), I won a Leupold Mark AR 3-9x power scope and 5 PMAGs off the prize table. My wife took some pics of me shooting it.

The Mod 3 (large) or Mod 4 (medium)? The Mod 4 is looking more interesting all the time. On my Limited and Tac Irons 3gun rifle I have the Mod 3, On my Tactical and Tac Optics rifle I have the Mod 4.

50gr HP ammo won't run well in a lot of ARs. M4 ramps are essential as well as the right cyclic rate. If the gun runs too fast sometimes the magazine won't be able to keep up and the rounds will run into the receiver and/or barrel extension.

The barrel nut just need to be loosened and then retorqued aligning it perfectly. When I do them I use a gas tube alignment tool.

I'm using the BCM/VLTOR Gunfighters too. Best charging handle I've ever used.

BCG = bolt carrier group. Machinegunners lube is good. My preferences: 1. Weaponshield 2. Militec-1 3. Slip2000 EWL 4. Machinegunners Lube

Actually you can use a CAR length buffer and spring in a rifle receiver extension. You will need something to take up the difference in space. The RRA 9mm spacer does just this thing. RRA part # 9MM0073 $8.00 http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=244 FWIW a standard CAR buffer is the same 3.0oz as a JP/LMOS rifle length buffer, but a CAR buffer spring is shorter and stiffer than a rifle length buffer spring. Thus the difference in feel. CAR length buffers work well with any barrel length. The Canadians use them in their C7A2 (20" barrel) with a M4 stock (4 position), They use H2 buffers.

It sometimes happens with all buffer for ARs. What I do: On all my own buffers I completely remove the pin. Shorten it about 3/16" and then reinstall it with a small dab of Acraglas or epoxy and stake some of edge of the body of the buffer into each side so that the pin can't walk out again.

Looks like soft brass. Long before the rifle won't headspace anymore the throat will be so eroded that it'll likely be shooting 8" groups at 100yds.

I'd turn down the barrel to .650"-.700" under the FF tube, thread the barrel to 1/2x28 and add a Benny Hill Rolling Thunder or SJC Titan comp.

This is a carbine I built up for my wife. The goal was to make an extremely lightweight non-SBR. It weighs 87ozs, aka 5.43lbs. Components: RRA 1x8 16" midlength barrel cut to 14.5" and turned down to .565" barrel profile, chamber reamed from .223 Wylde to 5.56 mm NATO, FSB shaved and then cut in half only using the rear half, PWS FSC556 pinned/welded for 16-1/16th" overall barrel length. Troy Industries 11" TRX freefloat rail. CMT upper receiver with no dust door or forward assist. I'm using a delrin plug from ADCO to plug the upper receivers hole for the forward assist. JP LMOS carrier (no forward assist cuts) with BCM bolt, cam pin and firing pin. BCM standard charging handle. Double Star lower with Stag lower parts kit. Colt grip and Colt CAR stock. VLTOR receiver extension, BCM castle nut and end plate, CMT CAR buffer and spring. Magpul MOE triggerguard. Aimpoint H1 in a Daniel Defense Micro mount. Daniel Defense front and rear sights.
