Friend just received his new open gun with zero rounds and proceed to sighted in . No problems. After about 300 rounds gun lost zero by about 2 inches right and 1 inch high. Checked all screws especially red dot and mount. Also cmore lock was tight. Is this normal? Does gun need more break in? Thanks.

Do any of you use a coating like rainex on your lens before shooting in the rain? Thanks

Get Brazos tuned mags, can’t go wrong.

Cuz, glue some small pieces of wood or other materials to the sides to raise up.

Thanks!

Intend to load a few rounds to test. Looks like 3n37, but as you stated, no way to really tell. Do you have Capstone contact info? Thanks

Went to my stash of Vit 3n37 and picked up 2 4lb. Jugs. One felt heavier than the other. Put on a scale one weighed approximately 4 1/2 lb. other weighed 6 1/2 lb. BOTH containers were factory sealed, different lot numbers. Unscrewed both containers and both smelled the same, very little odor. Tapped both containers to try to level out powder then looked inside one had more powder. Put a piece of pvc to measure level and one had approximately 50% more powder. Never heard of this, both were kept inside of house, not garage or basement ? ? Anyone ever heard of this? Factory error? Thanks

NETim, have you used this on a red dot? Thanks

Thanks Sarge, that’s what I was thinking, but don’t want to snag on anything inside. May try a cleaning patch or two, soak in alcohol and insert and pull out gently?

How would I clean the battery contacts inside of my cmore rts2 ? Thanks

Just need the lips closed up a bit, they are about 55 in the middle. Thanks

Can anyone recommend someone who can tune 2nd gen sti 170 mm mags?

What are the symptoms of worn out mag springs? Thanks

Want to shoot some steel matches, currently using 8 lb. recoil spring for 170 PF. Want to download to about 130? How much lower spring weight? Thanks

Thanks Bene, was told that by another that was having hammer follow, backed off overtravel quite of bit, no more hammer follow so far, he is going to do more testing.

Friend asked me this question did not know answer. What is the effect of too much overtravel on a 2011 open gun with a sub 2 lb. trigger? Any mechanical issues? Thanks

Thanks to all who replied, all possible problems. Solution, Eric and others solved problem. Slide stop was ground from builder, mag followers were not (grams). After 20+ k rounds things loosen up enough where the bullets (same for all 20k rounds), were in fact occasionally hitting slide stop. Ground back of slide stop as much as I dare. No problems with 140 rounds fired. Will do more. Also going to grind the corner of the grams followers down to make sure this never happens again, particularly since it is my match gun. Again thanks to all, you guys are a big help!

Thanks Eric, will check everything you suggested!

Open gun with thumbrest. Thanks

Mags do not and have not EVER locked back , grams inners and this just started after 20 k. .thanks

Recently after about 20 k rounds the slide started locking back while shooting. I quick rack and back to normal. Once every 50 or so rounds. Happens on different mags same loads 38 sc. Maybe using too much oil and it’s migrating onto pin and dimple on slide stop. Pin seems to have lots of tension. Solutions? Thanks

620 red.

Who has them in stock? Or where best place to back order? Thanks

Thanks to all, UV protection would be a plus. Who makes compression light weight with SPF ?

Have several long sleeve shirts to wear under shooting short sleeve shirt, however don’t feel comfortable on draw and just roll up sleeves to elbows, back down when stage finishes. Noticed several competitors very tight fitting sleeves. Appreciate recommendations for cooler NOT cold weather. Thanks
