  1. We will be working on stage design next week. Below is a link to the host clubs website. More information about the match will be posted there as well as on the Enos Forum. http://www.greenvillegunclub.com I am looking forward to shooting with everyone that can make it to the match.
  2. I agree. A newer gun with a factory recoil spring that is waaaay to heavy is a sure way to short stroke a 1911. Try a 10lb recoil spring with a .090 to .125 shock buff. That should take care of the problem. Make sure the pistol is well oiled.
  3. Stay away from the Sig. You will be really disappointed when it self destructs at around 10k rounds. Any of the CZ models are great. The decocker does take a little getting used to enjoy your choice.
  4. I'm in. As usual Linda has done an excellent, efficient job even with the preplanning all while scheduling and preparing to work several other major matches. Linda, my hat is off to you for always going above and beyond to make things easier for the shooters.
  5. I'm looking forward to a great match. Will there be a range available to zero rifles prior to the match? See you all Thursday!
  6. I would like to say thank you to Linda, Jack, and Donnie for all their hard work each of you put into this match. A great match does not run itself. I am proud to say the SC sectional is one of the finest level two matches in the country. It seems the word is getting out though, with shooters coming all the way from Canada to play with us; it was great to shoot with them as well as the many other fine shooters that attended a great match. A big thank you all for your hard work to all the match staff, thank you to all the competitors that attended, thank you to all the sponsors that donated prizes, and I hope to see you all soon at another match.
  7. David A super match. I had a great time even with my little boo boo. I'm already looking foward to the next one.
  8. Nah. I've decided to focus totally on Limited and three gun for now. Mabye in another year or two. I've got to decide who and what I want to build.
  9. I am NOT shooting this match (so you do have a chance) but I did make sure there are NUMEROUS low ports JUST FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn! And I have been practicing with my eight year old just so I could get used to looking down for the little guys. My little boy is really going to be disapointed that all his hard work was in vain. See ya at SC in a few weeks.
  10. I doubt it but at 2am I vaguely remember a guy in the girly bar with a camcorder so we could be lucky ! That show luckily for Randall is already on TV. (Little People Big World)!! "Randall" Where's my step for that port???
  11. Oh, Thems Fightin Words!! Check with the top 16 at the nationals and see what they are actually using. I think you would be suprised at how many are using Clays. I can think of at least five off the top of my head that use or have used Clays. VV 330, VV 320, and Tightgroup are also used. I do have to concede that if I was using a Glock with the bullets loaded to factory OAL I would use Tightgroup in a second over any other powder available, but I have never tried my STI with factory stuff so I would have some reliability concerns at factory length. Hope this helps.
  12. I picked one up a few weeks ago on gunbroker for just over 1000 shipped. It has the vent rib and small fiber optic front sight. I ran 150 rounds through it yesterday. It was perfect. I am still kicking myself for not buying one of these sooner. These shotguns rock! Benelli M2 21" I would have bought one today if Sportsman's Warehouse had a 21"
  13. Yes! Ok, not really... I've shot with guys of every skill level. I know it's not some magic, just a LOT of work to reach the top. As for the results and my bet!!! I won, and I lost... crap! I was rooting for TG and my buddy is a hard-core Clays user. Both are great powders but with a different feel. We always argue who's was better (doesn't everyone?) and it kind of errupted into this quite lengthy post Anyway, thanks to all the Ms and GMs that made this happen, and even the A, B, C, D, U that undoubtedly voted anyway. I settled on Clays several years ago for both 180 and 200 gr bullets. If I was going to change it would be to tightgroup, but why use what's second best??
  14. Did someone let Randall design all the stages for the benefit of the vertically challenged?
  15. Application sent. I have not received a confirmation email yet. Looking forward to a great match.
  16. Buddy of mine just bought four of these with a similar problem. The catch had to be opened vertically instead of horizontally. The magazines would not even catch in four different guns. He relieved the top of the catch opening and got them to seat. I'm not sure if he has tested them yet or not.
  17. I would like to extend my thanks to Mark and the rest of the staff and RO's for a job well done.
  18. Looking forward to the match. Mike Sexton and I have been shooting a lot getting ready for the match. I have developed a rather large caulous on my thumb from reloading the shotgun so much. This was after 3 blisters! If the match is half as fun as the practice has been getting ready for it, the match will be great.
  19. CMMG has a 18" SPR barrel for about 250.00. These are great shooters. These barrels are offered in either carbine, mid, or rifle length gas systems. You can order them drilled for a FSB or left blank for a JP type gas block. The barrels are a SPR profile.
  20. No it is almost identical to the SX3 or is it SX4? Whatever the newest one is they came out with. I have about 400 rds through mine and it is simply awsome. I'll shoot it at the Carolina Tactical Invitational this weekend. I report back as to how it does. I have shot two local matches with it so far with no hiccups. The only issue is slug groups. At 55yds it groups about 4 inches. The barrel has a single fiberoptic bead on the front. It need a mid bead for more precise shooting. This is the only gripe, if you can call it that, that I have. I have been very impressed with it so far. The 930 in the picture is a 3" shell length, the 935 will handle the 3.5" shells. It took a bit of tuning to get it to run with the light bird buck and slug rounds used in competition but the results so far have been well worth it. The only uncertainty about the gun will be its longevity. Spare parts do not seem to be available for this gun. We'll see what kind of service life I get out of it. PM me if you want to know what I had to do to get it to run on the light stuff. I can include specs for every cut I made.
  21. Too much lube on the outside of the case. This will cause the case to dent in the location you are referring. Try sizing some cases with just a little lube on them and see if that fixes the problem.
