Just wondering is anyone has tried the TandemKross Fireswitch mag release with a Kidd trigger group. The Kidd housing is shaped differently and may not be compatible with the TK mag release, has anyone tried this?

I talked to C-More about this almost a year ago and they told me it's not as simple as just putting in a green diode. I believe they said that the glass would need to have a different coating developed for it. They said they were working on the idea but it doesn't seem to be much of a priority. I would buy one in a flash and I think it would be a good seller but then I do prefer green in sights, both fiber optic and dot optics.

Yes, but I've never seen a $235 trigger for $100, no matter the sale or discount code. (A 57% off sale? That would be awesome from my perspective, but probably a bad business decision on his part.
)
So if you buy just the hammer, sear, trigger blade, and disconnect, and install them yourself (and your housing geometry matches the expected housing dimensions perfectly for optimum results, which we know it won't with the standard housings since they are good, but not perfect), without the auto bolt release and the ability to change the trigger weight, without the springs or the mag latch......
....not exactly talking about the same thing here.
That's still a useful link, and I appreciate it, though.
Plus Kidd will only guaranty that their parts kit will work if you install it in a factory polymer housing. They will tell you that if any of their parts don't work in your gun it's because your gun is crap. They told me they would have a Fathers Day sale but when Fathers day got here they changed their mind. They usually have a Black Friday sale so maybe they will have one this year and put it on sale for what it was running last year before the increase. Or not.

Where are you getting a 1.5 Kid single stage drop-in trigger for $100?! TELL ME PLEASE!
The trigger parts without the housing is $105 with a discount if you buy 2. $90 each if you buy 2.

I have a 3' piece of solid aluminum rod that is a little smaller than the ID of the sleeve. I got the rod off of Ebay for another project making moon clip carriers. With the action out of the stock I put the back of the receiver on a pad on the floor with the barrel strait up. I work the rod up and down the sleeve trying to hold it to the sides and scrape off any accumulation. You have to tip the muzzle down every once in a while to dump out the scrapping. I've gotten pretty good at it and being able to feel where to scrape. A 12 ga brush on a rod with a drill and some Hoppe's cleaner if you want it looking like new after scrapping but it just isn't necessary, once you scrape out the big chunks go shoot it again.

I was going to do the same with my Rydon glasses but just the lenses for the Rydon's are within $10 of having HG complete glasses so I switched to getting their complete glasses rather than just lenses for the Rudy. The Rudy can be the backup glasses.

I have a timer on order and need to get a dedicated tablet for it that will be used mainly for practice sessions. What is the best tablet to use that is the fastest and most reliable?
To run my monthly match I bought 4 AMG timers and 5 Amazon Fire tablets. I have been very happy with the Fire tablets. They are way better than the iPads at another club, especially if it is hot outside. The latest updates to Practiscore have made the tablets even more reliable. The 8" Fire often goes on sale for $50. The Fire tablet is easy to see and keeps going in the heat.

It will be a happy day when everyone gets on board and uses the AMG timer. The AMG picks up a suppressed 22 rifle shooting SV ammunition and has zero problems with an un-compensated pistol. For my match I supply AMG timers paired to tablets for every stage. If my little rinky dink match can do it, everyone can do it. Get with the program.

Oh and ditch the compensator. they do nothing in a rimfire gun (ok, they may look cool) and can cause issues. It won't repeat all the testing i did to reach that conclusion but you can listen to my podcasts from last year or search posts here
Fixed it for ya.
The compensator will give your hours of entertainment constantly having to clean it out if you enjoy that kind of torture.

It would have been a little clearer IMO. However, the next rules on 'double jeopardy' specifically state that no procedurals are applied, because they were already scored as misses.
So the stop plate is scored as a miss but it's not scored as a miss on a stop plate, that's pretty clear.
I never thought that something as simple to score as Steel Challenge could be made so complicated. Thankfully is usually pretty simple and if it gets hard you're not winning anything anyway.

That 38 grain Blazer is real garbage. It's too bad they messed up the Blazer name with that junk. It's neck and neck with Thunderbolts for the low quality. The 40 grain Blazer in the 50 round boxes has been great stuff for me but never again will I buy the 38 bulk Blazer. I opened up the chamber of my Magnum Research barrel using a finish reamer for a standard sporting chamber, it still shoots dime size groups at 20 yards using a plastic barrel for a rest, 38 grain HP Aguila and a red dot on a red sticky paster with old eyes, plenty good enough for steel. 600 rounds with no cleaning is not a problem. If you run Thunderbolts or 38 grain Blazer all bets are off.

The proper procedure wasn't followed so one would think a procedural would be issued.

Wouldn't this be a 30 for failure to hit the stop plate?
Same thought I was having, if those 3 plates are misses and one of them is the stop plate seems like a time of 30 is appropriate.

Hi George
I have found that the best lightest barrels are from WhistlePig. I bought two and I LOVE them! Good company with a high quality product. Good prices. They ship pretty fast too. I absolutely hate Tactical Solutions barrels because they cracked, prices are now outrageously high and one was so easily deformed that I couldn't get it out of the receiver when used normally. I won't buy another TacSol barrel.
The specs on the WistlePig say about an ounce per inch so one of their barrels Is going to be at least 16 ounces. The Wiland barrel is 11 oz which is much lighter.

They were the now discontinued Blazer Lead Round Nose 38gr. Maybe the light weight and the high velocity is too fast to stabilize? Though I don't have any keyholing issues with my Mark III, which has a shorter barrel.
I have shot tons of the 40 gr Blazer that comes in the 50 round boxes. The 38 gr bulk pack Blazer is garbage, it's probably some reject Federal that they are branding Blazer. The last box of that garbage I took to the range had at least 10 primed cases in the box with no powder or lead. No quality control. I love the regular 40 grain Blazer but I'll never buy any of the bulk 38 grain again. My Wiland LLW barrel groups very nicely with the 40 grain Blazer. Todd at Wiland has excellent service, he will get you fixed up.

OK, I know AZ doesn't do daylight savings but how many Wednesdays are in a week in Tucson?

Nimitz, why do you want to leave us in suspense?
-
Maybe they started grinding the notch on both sides of the pin so nobody would have to pay attention
-
Did you ever check the orientation of your cam pin?
-
Do you have the 2 dots lined up on the bolt cam pin?

Though RO can stop string on the timer by pushing M or either of the arrow buttons when competitor finished shooting.
Great tip, thank you

The push mode works fine in my Fire 8 tablets and I have used it for practice but wouldn't use it in a match. I set the sensitivity up enough for a .22 rifle with no comp and SV ammo so when you rack the bolt or change a mag the timer hears that and adds it to the previous run. It doesn't stop recording what it hears until the next beep and starts over again. It's much better to have the scorekeeper pull the time after the stop plate is hit.

Magnum Research .22 Switchbolt/Laminated Stock Initial Review
in Steel Challenge
Posted
The SSTB22G comes with the Axiom stock. It's usually cheaper to buy from a wholesale house.
