Mine is going out today. Any hotel deals?

That's fantastic! Can't thank Trijicon enough for the support they have provided, I will be back next year for sure.

Your set up is similar to mine. I too, noticed a difference in recoil when I switch from my 18in barrel at the start of this season. I said difference because I never noticed an increase in muzzle rise or recoil. Sure If you sit down and focus just on recoil off a bench you will noticed a difference, under the timer however, its much harder to realize that. I have tuned my rifle for offhand shots at 50 yards. Its not a perfectly flat shooting rifle, but I know how it reacts and recoils which is more important so I can track my dot and know where it is going to go. As far as the new bleed off gas block, I won't ever be convinced of venting off extra gas for our game. Just think about it, you bleed off pressure which will drop your velocity no matter what. I run a SLR7 and once I get it dialed in, I open it up one more click and leave it. I have not adjusted it all year and that's after several thousands of rounds. I know that it is frozen right now, and I will remove it this off season and get it broken free again. I suggest spending some time adjusting buffer weights and even spring weights along with an adjustable block. Don't focus too much on getting your rifle to shoot "flat", in the long run you will spend more time focusing on getting it dialed in perfectly when you should get it set up so its good, reliable and practice with it. Once I started doing that, rather than tinkering with all of my gear, my performance increased and it showed at major matches this season. If you have questions, feel free to PM me. I can tell you what my set up is but remember it works for me and its how I like it. Everyone is different, my friend and I have the exact same set up, minus receivers and BCG, yet his to me, shoots flatter than mine but our offhand shooting and rifle work is relatively close because we both know our OWN rifles performance.

I thought shooting stop signs was only a southern thing... But ill bring enough just in case we decide to have a little extra find while we are down there.

Any idea on a round count and if you guys are going to use slugs? Also what distance are we going to see?

Thank you guys. Once I get some free time I and going to work on this again and I will post some pictures of the how it looks after I get it the way I want. Going to remove some material from other areas to aid in manipulation and try to make loading easier, should be a fun little experiment lets hope it works.

Current configuration of how a cut the pump and load port. If I get time I might take some pieces into work this week and see what I can do on the machines and I might stipple everything as practice for my M2.

I will take pictures when I get home of its current configuration. I cut the pump far enough that I think I will be able to clear it but I can take more and shape it as needed.

I have been working on my Super Nova a little bit at a time and I am wondering how much some of you guys have opened up the load port for quad loading. the trigger housing has part of the port attached to it and I was thinking about removing the front portion of it completely where is joins back into the receiver as it looks like it would be strong enough to hold up without breaking the sides off. Does anyone have pictures of how much material they have removed from their ports? I can take some pictures later of the work I have already done and some of the areas I have marked out to take into work and play on the mill with.

It is possible to shoot both matches correct? Do the stages change between ST and OLHOT?

Another question, would I be able to shoot ST and then Trooper?

Just to be sure before I sign up, in Trooper, you can set you gear down when you get to the stage correct? You only have to carry all of it transporting between stages. I have been reading the rules and my guess is carry all transporting between stages but set it down when you get there to aid in resetting and what not. Also is the area where we will lock all our gear up at the end of the day at the club shop or will it be up on the range? Never shot Ironman and I am glad it is coming to the East side so I can try my hand at Trooper.

The Michigan boys are heading down as well, think I am going to run pump just for fun. Any information for a hotel in the area?

Ill just bring my own, Yuengling is a good beer, I just prefer mine to be a thicker or bitter is all.

Alright that sounds like a party! You guys are supplying the beer right?

Stage designs out yet, round count? parties after? what is the plan man? Matt, John and myself and looking forward to our first team match and a great time, you guys know what you're doing and we cant wait to shoot.

Someone somewhere must have some information on this match. I am in the process of registering for other matches and would like to get this one on the schedule for this year.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a place to fly into? I am going to look at getting down to this match but it will all come down to cost as I will by flying solo on this one, no one from the MI crew wants to go besides me.

I am not surprised at all. It took me over a year to get a handguard from them that I won the cert for at a match. Months of emails back and forth and phone calls to people to worked there then left the company. I transitioned between 5 different people before I finally received it, which only took about 2 weeks once the process was iron out and they got their crap together.

You are going down Bryan!! Us Michigan boys are coming full force this year, well with as much force as we can without breaking Johnny's leg... You should tell him there is a slide that the entire team needs to go down, he will love it!!!

Waiting to find out when shooter applications can be sent in. Ill be back for my 3rd year.

I was thinking about going to Ironman this next year since I have dropped some of the closer matches to Michigan. After details come out, this may be the ticket.

Andy is going to have his work cut out for him for 2016 to make the match even tougher!!! This was my second year at BRM and I will continue to come back year after year for Andy's matches. You don't get what he puts into a stage at any other major match on this side of the country, I am assuming Iron Man is similar. Thank you to all the ROs for all their hard work all week long and to Rockcastle for letting Andy play around on their facility yet again. Andy has my following for sure, if he puts on any other matches of a similar format, you can bet that I will show up with at least a couple other Michigan shooters.

Bring your money with you because this rifle is going to be at the match this year to be auctioned off to benefit Task Force Dagger! I worked with my sponsor along with other companies to put this together so someone can have a ready to shoot rifle right from the start. Build list: Motor City Gun Works upper and lower Hiperfire 24c Stretch 16" melonited barrel Lantac Dragon comp SLR series 7 adjustable gas block 13" BCM KMR handguard JP Low Mass BCG JP Low Mass buffer ACE stock Warne Scope Mounts X-Skel Vortex 1x6 Strike Eagle I want to thank all of the companies that helped make this build possible, Motor City Gun Works, Hiperfire, Strongside Tactical, Vortex, and Warne Scope Mounts. Without the supoprt of these companies I don't know if this build would have been possible. I also want to thank Andy Horner, Keith David and Mike Cassidy for giving me the opportunity to help out Task Force Dagger this year.
