[Problem with Fastfire 3 on Glock 17]

Hey guys,

Last week I installed a Burris Fastfire 3 on my glock 17.

I used the dovetail mount for glocks that burris makes for the FF3.

I read the instructions, and installed it exactly as directed, everything is centered, and on tight(I used loktite as reccomended).

I went to sight it in this weekend and here's where my problem started.

I started at 10 yards to sight in, then I planned on moving to 25yrds.

But, that never happened because I coulnd't even get it on at 10 yards!

I maxed out the elevation adjustment on it before I even got withen 8 inches on POI.

Granted after a hundred rounds it never moved, the mount stayed tight, and neither the POI or the POA moved a bit...

So, it's maxed out, and the POA is about 8 inches above POI.

My question to you guys is.

Do you know if I messed up something on the install? Or is this mount ment to only provide a zero way further then I was hoping?

Thanks for looking,

Charlie

Hey Doug!

I'm from mandeville, I've been thinking about going to a match at Nicks, which day do you go to?

Also, where is the GSSF league at?

Thanks,

How long do you guys go before taking the comp off and re-applying the loctite?

Does it last for years if done properly the first time?

Hey guys, my name is Charlie.

I stumbled onto this thread searching for some tech info for Open guns.

After reading through some posts I decided to join.

I've spent most of my life target shooting with my father, but just recently I've gotten vary serious about going to the range as much as I can.

I'm looking for somewhere to compete locally to me(Mandeville, LA), but I haven't found anything sanctioned that's within a couple hours drive.

I've been using youtube as a guide for drills, and new ideas for training.

But lately I've gotten this idea in my head to build a open style glock 17(even though I have yet to compete in anything sanctioned)

Here's where I'm at currently.

Glock 17 gen 3

-Trigger setup with Zev springs(investing in the full fulcrum setup soon)

-Zev Magwell

-Arredondo base pads(probably switching to Taran Tactical pads)

-Burris FF 3 w/ Glock mount(just installed it, anxious to try it out)

-glock extended slide lock & extended mag release

My next purchase is going to be the Lone Wolf SS 17L slide. (just for 3 gun and plinking)

I plan on getting Lone wolf's ported 17L barrel.

If I like the slide mounted MRD, then I'll get the 17L slide milled for the FF3.

And I'll send the 17 slide off to get milled for a RMR.

The 17 slide is the one I'm building to fit in open.

I'm looking into a KKM threaded bbl, and really racking my brain hard to figure out what comp to go with.

So that's where I'm at currently, I know I'll learn a lot from everyone here!

If anyone is local and could give me some tips on competitions in LA I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for looking!

Charlie
