  1. I brought my timer to this past weekends match and it worked fine, thanks for the suggestions.
  2. thank you all for the replies. I have a Yankee hill brake on it now, bringing my own shot timer is a good idea I will give it a shot at the next match. just a little frustrated, I threw away a really really good run this past weekend and replaced it with garbage on the next attempt.
  3. In my past three matches I have had four reshoots because the timer didn't pick up the gun. my question to the group is, what muzzle device is going to send the most energy back to the timer?

  5. A club fairly local to me runs a multi gun event that is pump only on the shotgun, I've been running my rem 870 for this event, but seeing how I have had fantastic luck with my M3000, I am considering trying the new P3000, does anyone know about parts compatibility? it would be nice if it runs that same mag tube and small parts.
  6. Hey everybody, I've been thinking about posting this for a few months now, but this past match put me over the edge. A little back story, In high school I was shooting sportsman's team challenge events with my brother and a friend, we were doing very well and ended up with several first place finishes. I took several years off and got back into competition shooting about five years ago through a Co worker by way of IDPA and later USPSA. We had weekly scheduled practices and I was see great gains from it, but last year do to personal reasons my Co worker stopped shooting, leaving me as kind of top of the dog pile for shooters who were showing up to our Thursday night practices. (Mostly we get about a half dozen IDPA novice or marksman or C class USPSA guys) and ever since I feel as though I have gone stagnant at best and backsliding at worst in my training, without a person better than me there to push me, I kind of feel like I am just spinning my wheels. Every major Match I went to this year I got it handed to me. Including a truly embarrassing showing at the IDPA Back up gun nationals this past week. Anybody else fall off track like this, and if so how did you find your way back?
  7. And no I will never make that mistake again. Going to buy a label maker today. I could have probably borrowed a gun. But it was my stupidity so I decided to live with the repurcusions
  8. Got bumped I didn't even think to look before I handed it to the RO at chronograph
  9. So I have a pair of m&p 9mms, one for uspsa production and one for 3 gun with an apex drop in trigger. Guess who grabbed the wrong lock box before driving 350 miles? This guy. So I got the pleasure of shooting open at my first area champoinship.
  10. that's no good, Mondo did great work. I have a ton of paintball jerseys that they did for my teams, I would have defiantly used them for other shooting sports
  11. with the exception of one hicup that I can't make happen again, I have no complaints, this this is a great deal for the money.
  12. Update on mine, I have had the gun out to the range five times now since my last match, and I still cannot repeat the problem. It is back to running like a clock and I can't say what the hiccup was about.
  13. you can get a rotary hole punch set from harbor freight that works perfectly for cutting double alpha belts, I did my DAA with the punch and a cordless drill, and it looks like the holes were done at the factory. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-piece-hollow-punch-set-67030.html
  14. I really do appreciate the help, you aren't going to believe this but I cannot reproduce the problem now. I went to the range last night and it did exactly what it should have. I tried with the tube full, half full and almost empty with the same ammo from my match and my practice ammo, and I can't make the gun do it again. it was going it on my last practice on last Thursday night, and I avoided trying to load that way during the match because of it, and now it is functioning exactly how it should. so I don't get it.
  15. It was removed before hand and the recover was clean when it went back together. This past week was the first time it happened and I've had it for a season.
  16. It was happening with my estate practice rounds #8 1150 fps I belive. As well as my match ammo winchester AA #7 and #8 The trigger group has been out but not apart. And the rest of the shotgun was dismantled when I did the loading port (kind of a conservative cut) I will try to take a video of what's going on tonight.I thought it was strange that it cycles fine when it is being fired but Hangs up on itself when you try to drop a shell.
  17. that's what I was trying to do, but when I hit the silver serrated lever on mine it releases the first shell onto the carrier, followed by 1/4 of the next shell binding me up. so I was starting with 8 in the mag tube and one in my hand and feed the first round by hand
  18. Sorry for the stupid question. I was thinking I could have used it to release a round from the tube, the match I went to today had lots of empty chamber closed bolt starts.
  19. stupid question, what would cause a double feed when using the cartridge drop lever? the shotgun cycles fine, but doubles if you hit the lever.
  20. I just ordered one, cheap enough experiment.
  21. Using a rotary stone on aluminum is a very bad idea, the loading throws them off balance and can cause them to shatter.
  22. Thanks Pat, I will look tonight.
  23. it looks like it split, and the bolt reciprocating chewed it up.
  24. I had my first mechanical failure with the m3000 yesterday. the o ring on the firing pin retaining pin is shredded. I am wondering if I can find an off the shelf o ring that will work or is it a specialty piece.
  25. Welcome from yet another New Englander! Western Ma here
