Mike at Accurate Iron ....can't find him anywhere ......
thegunnerd replied to thegunnerd's topic in Shotgun - Technical
Thanks for the heads up. I know of Taran's work . Def good , but Mike is def the smith i'm looking for . I had contacted him a while back and we had a dialogue going , but i can't seem to get him again. My second would be Benny Hill at Triangle -
Weapon Abandonment DQ
thegunnerd replied to outerlimits's topic in Multi-gun Rules / Stage Design / Match Administration
That is some BS!!!! If you want to be technical like Benny said, there is no loaded round in the gun. A hull is certainly not a loaded round. I'd have protested a whole bunch -
Who has the best price on the Vortex Razor 1-6X?
thegunnerd replied to sasquatch981's topic in Multi-gun Gear & Accessories
I'll be snagging one soon i hope, and i'll be contacting you to do so. Do you guys get out to any matches in Florida? I'd love to say hello at one if i can. -
CR Speed pouches on ELS belt attachments, how?
thegunnerd replied to Aristotle's topic in Gear & Accessories
Well what i did is attach it to the fork with some nuts and bolts i found at home depot , only issue is no matter how tight they are , they rotate. I'm planning on drilling a second hole to affix it much much more solid to the fork . -

I want one in every gun flavor!!!

That's a great division , almost like a production version of heavy metal . As for me, i run a benelli m2 already , well i'm going to be soon. I had a JM pro and i sold it a while back , so i have yet to take the benelli out . I agree with you, buy quality get quality. I was just surprised to see it. I'd be curious to knock one around . As for the akdal, i thought firebird regarded them as being better platforms that require less tinkering to work properly, but it's sad to hear that they were failing. I had high hopes of getting on at some point . But for me right now i'm sticking to tac optics

3-Gun Nation now airing on Sportsman Channel
thegunnerd replied to NMBOpen's topic in Books, Movies, TV & Music
NICE!!! been missing watching you all hose targets -
I was one of those people tripping over themselves to get the gun. My experience was this : After placing an order , i received the gun after 2 months . I was very very excited . I replaced the safety with a larger easier to use one and replaced the front sight. That was all. My gun never ran well . It intermittently would fail to feed. Shells would get hung up. That gun actually made 2 trips to Mossberg on their dime and never ran correctly. Not just that , the slugs were over 2' high and left at 50 yards . That attempt at accuracy isn't good enough for 3 gun shooting. What the difference is , is that in 3 gun the test of a gun's function is really put...to the test? ... puns aside you're shooting a shotgun VERY fast , reloading the entire mag tube numerous times and emptying it in a hurry. Often in very dusty or dirty conditions and in fairly quick succession . A lot of 3 gun matches tend to be shotgun heavy or at least equal amounts shotgun . Even tactical guys don't punish their guns like this on such a regular basis unless you're training other people . That being said , what the issue with mossberg is that they are totally hit or miss. I know of people running JM pros that run like tops . I also know just as many if not a few more people who ended up selling them. I asked myself if I trusted the gun with my life and that answer was no.....if I can't even say that , it's not good enough to use in competition

I have done this . I had a jm , shot well but was VERY finicky about ammo. It didn't reliably run ....well anything. I have a benelli m2 and i'm happy as a clam. You can't go wrong with versamax, benelli, FNH....you can find m2's for about 1100-1200 . I love me some Jerry Miculek and the JM pro would need a ton of work to run like Jerry's. But for 600 bucks it's a fantastic gun for occasional range fun, but not as a bullet proof 3 gun gun

AGREED!!!

I just installed a drop in CMC tactical flat one stage trigger. They quote it at 4.5# According to the crappy wheeler pull gauge i have it's closer to 2# and by my feel i'd have to concur . I absolutely love this trigger. For the price ( about 80 bucks less then a geissle ) it rocks. The only thing i would like is slightly less travel overall , but , that's nit picking . Installation couldn't be easier and it comes with anti walk trigger pins. I got mine from shooter's connection

Trojan by far no question at all.

The gospel right there ^^^ -
Ahhhh pembroke gun and range. It's an old school poorly ventilated anything goes range. I used to go there more often then i do now. I like the guys there but it's not the safest range . Less then a few months ago someone committed suicide there and you do sometimes get clientele that leaves much to be desired . But for down and dirty holster work , can't beat it. 12 bucks no time limit. I would recommend Nexus but right now i'm having a huge issue with a policy they have on charging you to pass a test so you are allowed to do holster work. 20 bucks to pass a test for holster work 20 bucks to pass a test for rapid fire work 20 for some tactical license that i don't know about So until that practice is done away with i'm not recommending Nexus to anyone. It's a massive massive ripoff . I need to go up to okeechobee with my long gun , i have a bolt action aics gun that i need break in. I'm hoping to get up to Universal shooting academy soon for 3 gun and action steel. I'm also going to try and make it out thursday night for markham if its not raining. I finally have a load worked up for my limited gun , so i'm good to go ! Let me know the next time you're over at pembroke , i'll see if i can meet you there. If not i'll hopefully see you at markham.

Mark you're a beast . A shorty 300 AAC I have yet to see that sir . WITH A CAN! what a great home defense gun . Quiet , one shot effective, small and easy to get around. I'm impressed !

Questionable Power Factor at a local match
thegunnerd replied to bthoefer's topic in USPSA/IPSC Rules
For me , my local matches don't chrono. Not so anal about it I guess. Personally if i'm shooting locally i don't much care if someone is making PF. It's only to their detriment when they shoot a real match and now have trouble controlling their snappier gun. -
Oh man , i miss the mountains and desert so much. You could basically shoot every day of the year . But i'm ecstatic to be back in so fla with my freedoms in tact . Where are you shooting at these days ?
