Frankly

Probably a good idea to own a spare nut. I set my clamp aside for light and sling mounting when the zombies come. No clamps saves time when cleaning as well.

Looking for a simple dump bag for the rear of my 3-Gun belt that uses TekLoks and could hold 3-4 loose pistol/rifle mags, loose shotshells, garbage. Reason is that I end up training in the mud and snow and I don't always want to drop mags into the muck, but want to stash them reasonably quick and out of the way. Seems like a common item but everything I see on searches is military or clays-orientated. Not that it needs to cost $100 either but I rather buy something good once than the alternative. Any suggestions? Thanks

It's an odd world when the stoner from Bill & Ted is a better gun advocate than most of the other Hollywood hypocrites.

I have a trap club nearby and would like to know how to set this up but I can't visualize it. I just slip a fat rubber band over the ejection port. Or better yet just try to stay to the right side of people. The idea is not to hit Gramps in the head with a shell casing. Also with Trap I rotate the gun away from the microphone so that charging the bolt doesn't throw a bird.

I vote for a full sized Ruger or SW .357 along with a 18" barrel Remy 870 shotgun as the best combo. With LED flashlights and electronic ear muffs. Shoot a gun in the hallway and tell me how well you hear the next couple of minutes.... Or better yet, a dog.

So I want to try a slightly raised comb on my M2 and for the life of me can't figure out how you remove the original comb? Read about sliding it back and pinching the front of the comb but to no avail. Do I have to disassemble the stock or can I do some magical fingering?

Taran Tactical just posted a video of him being "trained" by Kanoe Kaneu Kanuuu, it's pretty funny.

Just to add to the knowledge base, I got a Accu-Grip and while it is nicely made, I do not think it will be as strong as using the Rite-Grip spacer w conventional fixed grip. Both are plastic but the Rite Grip has more bearing surface versus the Accu-Grip which depends on small ratchet-type grooving to be adjustable. At max extension it is the same distance as the Rite Grip but dependent on only 3-4 of those tiny grooves to hold the grip. Both look equally stupid and the Accu-Grip has more of a straight up and down pistol grip angle.

Everybody I've met here knows more than me... and 15 years ago we foolishly picked a newb custom cabinet maker who gave some less expensive but poorly designed kitchen cabinets. Now the spice rack are separating from the cabinet doors. The inset Cherry panels are only 1/4 or 3/8" thick, not much purchase, the framing and center pieces are 7/8". Investigating the widening gap between rack and cabinet shows he only tacked the spice racks on about 1/4" deep with wood screws so once they are loaded it's over-stressed. Any advice how to tighten things up? Thanks

I'm a newbie with XL hands and even with the larger backstraps the trigger falls on the joint. If I modify my grip I can get my finger pad on the trigger but it's a weaker, slower grip. I've tried other Stryker-fired pistols with similar results. I have friends who shoot well with their joints, others have smaller hands. But I also have a target pistol with a custom XL wooden grip that puts my finger pad perfectly onto the trigger with excellent results so it's frustrating not to get closer with my 9mm. What's the best compromise? I don't see any easy way to build up a Glock grip, and while my hands are large I am not that unusual, we're talking XL gloves, not mutant mitts.

Mom and Dad gave me long arms... I don't mind switching to a rife-length tube from my carbine but I'd love to find a lighter stock with a total 14"PLUS length of pull. I've already tried the Luth-AR and while it was nice enough, I didn't need the cheek riser or complications (I know it's a good stock but it felt like I'd break it sooner than later). Would also like a QD socket rather than buying new slings. I like the looks of the ACE stocks but they seem like they're going to be short. Any suggestions from other big guys? It's hard to find true LOP measurements from the manufacturers' websites, everyone measures a bit differently.... I'm tempted just to use a heavier pro stock but want to make sure I've looked at everything. Thanks

Umm, throw a red dot on any shotgun you've got and go shoot a match before deciding anything? Better yet shoot other people's shotguns. You're not going to win your first time so go learn before spending a lot of money.

Jeff at http://www.c-rums.comis also a good for shotgun mods. He will also sell parts for DIY.

Yeah my Dad has an adjustable rib and custom stock on a heavily modified trap gun. Makes 3-gun look like a bargain lol. I have an adjustable comb so I can use that to affect POI too. For the amount I shoot trap that seems like best bang for the buck.

Kincos makes some warmer, less dexterous gloves for real cold and they're inexpensive. For Springtime in the 20s the Mechanic Wear ones are good. The most amazing and expressive gloves I have cost North of $100 from Arcteryx and I can do 80% of what I can bare-handed - amazing dexterity.... but at that price I won't use them for work lol.

So outside of the smaller local matches, if you could only pick one or two of the larger events for 2016 which are the best bets? In terms of good experience for newbies, well-run organizations, good range, overall quality? I'd like to shoot but more than that see top level people in action. And within a day's drive for me which would be from Tennessee to Michigan to Vermont or Virginia (but Ohio/PA would be better!) Thanks

I have extension tubes for sale for the new Ruger and A6, better order now before the rush.

The only nice thing about a flush tube is when you use the gun elsewhere, like for clays, it keeps the Fudds under control because from a distance they think it's a cheap over/under.

Just out of curiousity, if I wanted to use a Safariland GLS on a non-Safariland belt, what's the best choice for an attachment device? Right now I have all Blade-Tech and Tek Loks and don't want to change the entire kit.

Am I correct in assuming that with the Blade-Tech Level II WRS I can just flick the retention loop and springs carry it open the rest of the way versus plain Level II hoods that need to be manually opened all the way to draw your pistol? Blade-Tech isn't clear in the their description and I haven't been around anyone with one here in NewYorkistan. So how often does that spring mechanism grit up and/or fail? Is the WRS really faster or is it more a matter of training to manually open the hood fully?

Gotta admit that while the Benelli outshoots me I got it because I didn't want to be making equipment excuses... and it's a really nice all-around gun, it stays clean, and by swapping extension tubes it's a great clays gun.

I'm in Upstate NY and shot my first match at Ontario Rod & Gun (it's outside Rochester, not Canada). I don't have a crew of local buddies yet. I'm trying to figure out how you even find suitable matches within driving distance for 2016? I look here, 3 Gun Nation, Boomer Shooter, etc. and there seems to be no central listing... isn't this the internet? So from NE Ohio to Northern PA to maybe Vermont... any good matches coming up in 2016?

A rubber band works well as a shell catcher.

You can extend the Nordic MXT tubes too, just buy the lengths you want, they sell a coupler and you can mix and match.

Reminds me of a paintball gun but I'm just jealous being in Upstate NY. Have fun!
