Yeah haha I agree. I'm not sure if it's worth me getting crazy on low mass BCG and all that, I don't think I can out run a factory AR, and with that Jerry Miculek compensator it has hardly any recoil as it is. Any trigger suggestions?

Thanks! Very helpful. The worst thing for me is, where I live there isn't much for looking at things in person. Not many people around hear have any aftermarket triggers I can try either. Right now I'm running a magpul stock on my Bushmaster/Frankenstein rifle, and I think I'm just going to order the longer Ace skeleton stock and try it out since no stores here carry them. My buddy thinks it's more expensive to buy all the pieces. But really most of the things on a factory rifle are going to be replaced. What's the best buffer weight to use?

well because it cools faster and is lighter than a heavy barrel/bull barrel. Most of the competition ready guns, example the Stag 3G come with fluted stainless barrels. I wanted to go with an 18" for a little more accuracy over the 16". I'm 6'3" but I have a long wingspan for my size and with my carbine barrel the 15" rail puts me close to compensator and I'd like the extra few inches of clearance as well. I've considered buying a cheap factory gun like a M&P sport and buying the add ons too, but I'm changing so much I think it's cheaper to buy a stripped lower, good trigger lower parts kits, ace stock, and a complete upper with the handguard and barrel length in looking for. Any advice on gas system length, buffer setup and BCG

Why not a fluted barrel?

Hey guys. Look g at building or buying another rifle dedicated for 3 gun. Thinking about building one and doing it over the next few months (easier to spend slowly than have my wife shocked with a $1600 purchase [emoji6]) Looking for pointers and advice. So far I'm planning on an Ace skeleton rifle stock, 15" keymod handguard, 18" barrel (probably stainless fluted, unless you guys have better suggestions) Looking for good info and recommendations on a trigger, BCG, gas system and buffer. I know a fair amount about the guns, but I see a lot of debate over what the best combinations are for reliability speed and recoil. I already have an extra JM Compensator and I plan to use that because I love the one on my AR now. Thanks in advance everyone!!

Welcome! It's addicting here

Sweet gotcha. I was thinking tacops or "practical" is what this was about. I'll bow out graciously haha thanks for the help guys

Where does it specify that in the rules? Is factory the old tacops?

3G Nation rules don't say anything about max round count in the pistol, just can't be longer than 140mm for double stack

So what's the point of being allowed to run a 140mm mag, but you can only have 15 rounds? My factory m&p pro holds 17+1

Thanks! I was happy, I could definitely improve with on my pistol reloads by getting some mag pouches. We also were told the weapons had to be empty and on safe when dumped. Most people didn't empty them, I think that costed me a little more time also. But I try to follow the rules haha

Finished 13th out of 42 shooters, pretty happy about the results. Definitely need to invest in some mag pouches for my pistol though

Damn sounds fun! Wish I lived in Texas!

Well let's just say I'm addicted!

A local small match in Marshfield WI

Have all that, snacks are a good idea!

My vote is for a M&P Pro 9. Absolutely love mine. Otherwise I'd say shoot the 2011! I too love my 1911, but I can fit a lot more rounds in my M&P, and it's lighter. My next competition pistol will be a 2011, if I ever retire my M&P

Well tomorrow is going to be my first ever competition, and I'm pretty excited. Should be all set to go. As a last minute checklist, what do you guys think are necessities besides my equipment?

That's a nice looking rifle Steve! I've been debating on buying the ace skeleton stock, but I want to hold one to make sure I get the length I want

Haha no Tony, it's actually smashed and going to fall off

Here's a picture of what I just set up now. I'm going to try it out for now. I already had a few sets of rings and the riser block. I actually like that it because I put the riser block over my Keymod rail and stiffened everything up. Hopefully that's not a bad thing. If this doesn't work out I might go towards the vortex mount. But I'm trying to save money for a trigger upgrade!t

Hey guys, just looking for suggestions for a mount for my new 1-6x scope. Standard rings aren't high enough for me, I do have a rider block I might try, but was curious if cantilever ring mounts are any better or what the advantages/disadvantages were on both. And also what brands are you guys all running? Thanks in advance

Try the shoot and see targets. They're black and after you shoot them you can see the neon green around the hole pretty good

I want to make the trip from WI! I have a buddy in the military that lives in NC and is at Ft Bragg

I have $40 into mine. Stroller was free
