Hey Tony, middle of nowhere, N central IL. Probably been there and started a bit south of ya. Peoria.
Glad you escaped!
One of the best and simultaneously worst things about 3 gun is the lack of a comprehensive and universal ruleset. You're unlikely to find any rules regarding the size of the pistol and even less likely to find anyone who knows and enforces those rules even if they existed.
So basically do what you want within the very minimal/vague rules and you'll be fine.

Modified is gonna be big in the future. It's basically Open Lite. Slide mounted pistol dot, fully loaded shotgun tubes and bipods on rifles. I see you're in MN @DIYguy, the Forest Lake guys are all about Modified division. That said, if you're just getting started in 3 gun prepared to get your balls kicked in no matter how well your current guns fit into an existing division.

Bummer. Thanks for the confirmation guys!

Turns out I wore out/rounded over the catch surface on my gen 1 TS (figured it out the painful way at a major too) and it's time for a replacement. Thing is, I've shaved the release button significantly and now I'm wondering if any of the myriad CZ75 mag releases will fit? They're closer to the size I want and cost half of what the TS part that needs butchering goes for.
Hoping @eerw knows something about this.
-
If memory serves, the MSR has a collapsing stock and therefore a carbine tube. An A2 is a rifle length tube for a fixed stock, so you'll need to swap that out.

Where did you find a mid gas 300 AAC? I've been keeping my eye out for one for a while.

Liking the 6.5 grendle II and Hornady 123SST's for my use out to 300 meters. Uppers are pretty reasonable considering I have a lower with a good trigger.
Gonna need to ask anyway,,, But assuming I get a complete with bolt upper would I need a different spring and buffer than a standard milspec M-4 ?Depends. How is your barrel gassed?

Update in case anyone cares, got the Calvin Elite assembly to fit, but when I took it to the range for testing had way too many slamfires/doublefires happen for me to feel it was safe. So the JP trigger's back in the JP, and the Calvin Elite's back in my zombie build.
Would love to know of any tips/tricks/spring kits out there to lighten the pull on the JP still99% chance the doubles were accidental bumpfires caused by your technique. If you lighten the JP to CE weight the problem will just follow it.

1st season was fun 80s horror movie throwback stuff, and really kept me interested. 2nd season, meh. 3rd season is great if you like really bad acting, or watching kids getting mutilated or deeply traumatized, the only payoff being some trite 80s nostalgia. I wanted to like it but couldn't. After a few episodes I wish the pizza delivery boy with the van would have been killed!
Same. Soundtrack and old cars kept me slightly entertained. Story was very disjointed.

Shot them all. For mid range, toss a coin.
6.8SPC is pretty much dead for factory ammo. Doubt the military's adoption of the new platform will be nearly as widespread as Sig and youtubers would have you believe and I doubt even more that it will revive the SPC. Grendel has been around longer than Creedmoor and it's popularity has always been a slow burn and will never see an explosion, but I bet it will be around for a long time yet. Same for 6mm Grendel, now repackaged and introduced as 6ARC by people that stand to make a profit by pretending it's new and exciting.
-
ASC's have been working great with the Grendel variants for me, but reading through forums it looks like mags are a crapshoot and what works for one guy is garbage for the next. I suspect part of the problem is actually improper gas tuning, all of my Grendel experience tells me they are more sensitive to under or overgassing than 233/5.56. Every feed issue I've ever had has been easily fixed by gas adjustment.

Never even heard of this "brassing" till I clicked on this thread.
-
Nope. There isn't a good one.

So pick you shell based on patterns.
Sounds easy. But this is 2022. I don't get to "pick" anything. I don't personally know any shooters who do right now.

Pick the correct shell.
Well that's not helpful. I've been buying everything on the shelf for two years and most of it is not exactly the load I'd prefer.
Also, when I started as an MD I bought a star for personal use and testing. They are not all the same. There are stars that release plates easier than others, some take a full choke at 25 yards if you want to have a chance at it. The very next could be a LM at 30. Presentation matters a lot too, some stage builders don't take the time or don't care to get difficult targets perpendicular to the shooting area and that can make a huge difference.

If you want to test a rifle in a rifle application, chamber it in something other than a pistol caliber.
That's deep. I like it.

2A, Yes it can be the designers just need to remember that PCC is just a division of USPSA and they shoot the same matches everyone else does all year, the problem comes when they try to make PCC a different sport and "test what rifles can do" its like they think this is a PCC match so I will invent a new sport for this one match.
Agreed. When I shoot PCC in USPSA I do it knowing full well I'm shooting a pistol match. I don't expect or want any concessions in stage design. People ask how that tests a rifle. Well, the test is still to go as fast as possible, and some other guy with a PCC is doing the same thing, so I gotta beat him.
I shoot plenty of real rifles in real rifle sports, when I shoot PCC I don't expect to do real rifle things with it.

I’m guessing you mean via participation levels? So some people may want to shoot both divisions at a Nationals event ?No, I mean it in the face value way. I hear constantly that pistols shouldn't have to compete against rifles. We never hear anything like Prod shouldn't have to compete against Open, even though the capabilities of an Open gun aren't that far behind a PCC. But it makes sense that we don't hear that, you're only competing against those in your division, even if there's some other guys shooting rifles while you shoot a pistol.
-
Just out of curiosity, lets say Production and Open got paired up. Would people still say "X division shouldn't have to compete with the other"?

The ones near me do this because it makes for more challenging shots on the clays for the open guys. My strategy in tac ops is just to shoot clays from further away if I can (it can’t always be avoided though). No reason not to shoot a clay from 30-40 yds if you’re running a mod choke.
Oh I definitely try to shoot clays from the max allowable distance when I'm choked up. But it's not always an option, especially when it's a toaster clay at 7 yards that only goes 6 feet high.
-
Did this with lead shot once, just to see what happens. I think it ended up just slightly heavier than an H2. I think it's still in one of my rifles somewhere.
-
Just to be sure, you've checked that there isn't a zero stop that you're bottoming out on? Sounds silly, but 9 times in 10 that's the answer to these threads.

I disagree that light mod for 90% of shooting in 3 gun is an effective strategy. I change chokes a lot.
Agree 100%. There is a significant time advantage to be found when running by static clays with a spreader and pulling the trigger without so much as a hint of a sight picture vs. deliberately pointing the gun and needing to see both the target and the bead with a light mod.
Unfortunately MD's in my area seem to have negated my spreader choke by putting some 20+ yard heavy steel in every stage that has clays.
-
Carlson's have been doing just fine for years. I'm sure someone with a patterning board and all day to count holes could prove that spending more gains you something, but good luck proving that it makes a difference in 3 gun.

Just watched some match footage. I noticed most stages started with an object in hand, is that a very common thing in IPSC?
