Well that's unfortunate.. apparently I can't fix my typo in the thread tittle.. Sorry Mr. Carver. hello all, I'm about to grab one of Bobby's combo packages that includes his UL trigger kit. Although I have no doubt his trigger kit is great I was wondering if anyone has time on it. Comments? maybe relative differences between others? thanks, J.

In my dealings I have also learned that Mr. Carver is a class act.

Nice gun, I love the all black. couple questions.. is your barrel gold? how did you do the stippling?

If you are considering a 12ga, look into some international skeet / Int. trap shells. they are slightly less than 7/8 oz at 24 grams and a have enough pressure to operate most autos (works in my 1100, and my A400 Xtreme). WAY lighter shooting than even a 1oz shell. I have set up a Benelli M2 with a 24" bbl for an old GF. the recoil pad pops off and is replaced with a shorter one to get the LOP down to 13.5" Having said that, a 20ga 1100 is a nice swinging soft shooting gun.

A vote for the new A400 target gun (blue receiver I think?). yes,o/u rule but I'm assuming the OP knows he wants a semi.

Will it shoot flat (as flat as with major ammo)? I'm just tring to figure out how comps work.

with the sight on the side could you get away with not lowering ejection port?

And the case lube! I'll make sure to keep ahead of it.

Congrats... That is a fine looking gun. I looked more than once at that one.

Why is the 34 considered Glocks 'competition' gun? I see it has a longer bbl, so you get a longer sighting plane.. anything else? Someone above mentioned a different trigger? There is a 34 topend in the classifieds. it has a cut slide and carver 10 port comp. Maybe he has some info on how it ran?

Is that a carver gun? I see it has alot of his parts. Hows it shoot? It has carver mount, carver 10 port compensator but that is it. KKM match barrel, CCF frame, tugsten guide rod, zev tech fulcron trigger assembly, skeletonize firing pin, ice magwell,, It shoots very accurately. I had FTF issues, but once I got the lee undersized sizing full die, problem solved.... is the tungsten guide rod (compared to SS) used only to add weight?

Make sure you post some pictures when you have it put together (or before too). I'm just about to get one myself.

Boat loads of fun. and the door is open to a bunch more guns to buy for your safe too.

But the best of them (skeet team) shoot Perazzi. But yes.. can't go wrong with a used 682. Just picked one up for $600! and you wont pry it out of my hands for double.

$45 for graco adjustable come hardware, a band saw and some time you are you are good to go.

if you hand cycle it's not suppose to toss a new shell in. If you fire the gun it should. Try pressing the little button at the rear (towards the back of gun) of the carrier, a shell should get tossed out of the mag. then it will get put into the chamber when you manually cycle.

great gun, I've had an M1 and an M2. love em.

the benelli would be fine. 28" will work great for either trap or skeet. If you got really serious about it you would be looking for a dedicated gun anyway.

Rem 1100, BT99 (single bbl), .. should be found cheap too.

agree with everyone. 1100 is cheap (beretta and perazzi's are not), actually points and swings nice (870 does not), is soft shooting (neither 870 nor O/U are). There are lots that were built just for target shooting... still a good target gun after all these years. I would prefer to shoot that over my A400 xtreme for skeet (not that I do). just my opinion.

yes, but some good advie. first target is the ONLY important target until it's broken. follow through extra, find target #2 with your eyes and then your gun will follow. Do NOT worry about timing or break point of the second target while you are learning. bad habits will ensue.

There are Many Many different 682's. I just bought an old skool one for $800 and it's one those bullet proof ones. You can't go wrong with one in your safe. Go-To is Perazzi but i'm a BIG fan of the old 682's. They run and run. More reliable than the DT-10's (still own one of those too) but not a fine of a gun. Lastly, the newer 682's seem to come with lighter and smaller wood in my experience. This leads to poor impressions, lighter feel, and more recoil. First thing I did with my cheapo was find some old old wood with some volume and bolted it on.

will there be an influx of used open guns for sale here? or would someone have to go to nations and hang out? sorry for the stupid question.. I'm just shopping.

Sounds like you are leaning towards a custom open gun. I bought two TruBor's - $2,700 each - put on a slide racker and some rough tape on the grip - took a while to learn how to shoot the upright C-More, but all it took was practice. Bought 1 TruBor from Brazos - highly recommend their TruBor. You get the gun in two weeks and can practice with it for the next 3-9 months you'd be waiting for your custom gun to come in. No disadvantage to the TruBor, but it's fast and inexpensive. Good luck = doubt you can go wrong either way if you have the money. excuse my ignorance... but do you have 3 trubors? 2 assembled from STI and one assembled at Brazos? what I'm reading (maybe in error) is that you find the one built by brazos runs better than an off the shelf trubor?

If not, that's good advice. they might be a great help to you. At any rate, thank a lot for the information. I'm taking notes on all these aftermarket parts.
