Cool! Thanks guys. Hopefully they'll be more interested in the size of my toothpaste than the belt!

Looking for a bit of advice - I'm flying down to the Se3GC match this weekend (from Boston MA to Atlanta). I'm borrowing guns, and buying ammo down there, but will be travelling with my belt (consisting of Cali Comp stripper clips, AP Custom QL4 quad loaders, and Bladetech mag pouches. I'd like to avoid checking my bag if possible, so do you think I'd be ok carrying this belt in my carry-on? It's not gun parts, so technically it should be ok, but I could understand how security could get funny about it... Opinions?

I'm in! Looking forward to it

See you at Hopkinton tomorrow Steve! I'm going to try and make it to a Havard match soon too!

Cheers everyone! Richard / chirpy - no idea...?

Good choice of gun! I've been shooting SX3's for over 6 years now... I think I was one if the first to use them for practical! My main gun was getting a bit worn, so I built up a new one for the Wold Champs in Hungary last year. This is what I did to turn anew gun into a race gun; - Barrel chopped to 24" and re-choked (not vital, but I like my shotguns short!) - Nordic +5 tube - Norfic Clamp - Nordic follower - Briley cocking handle (I used to use Nordic ones, but had two break on me! They're have a weak point and crack easily - Briley ones are much better!) - Arredondo carrier release bar - modded to fit - flip up rear sight for slug - sand back the forend where it over hangs the receiver - makes leading easier I never touch the internals of the guns - I just put 1000rds through it to loosen it up! In my experience when you start playing about, you introduce unreliability. The fork in the lifter is there for a reason - get rid of it and you risk changing the timing of the action... Get yourself a clamp, big carrier release, and big cocking handle and you should be good to go!

Sounds like an awesome match, I'm in! Looking forward to my first proper 3-Gun! Jim S.

Evening all, I'm a Practical Shotgun shooter from England, but have just moved to the US for a 6 month stint with work - I'm looking forward to playing with toys we can't have back home! Bring on lots of pistol and three gun matches! I've been shooting practical shotgun for 10 years now, including the last 3 Europeans, and the World Shoot last year... Hope to see you allow the range soon! Jim S.
