No limit on amount of guns in checked luggage but airlines will charge extra fees for luggage weighing over 50 lbs. disregard those links......

Sell the TSO

If the property owner allows it, using those survey whiskers/markers to mark where the targets should go will speed things up on setup day.

There were several small changes over the years regarding STI mags. There were length changes, feed lip forming changes, mag catch shape, etc, etc. I concur with Sarge on the mags you have are both Gen 1. By the looks of it, it looks like the final iteration of Gen 1 before they went to Gen 2.

I go to visit family periodically and try to schedule it to coincide with a match. Stage designs are good at both Koko Head Shooting range on Oahu and Ukumehame Range on Maui. As for the registration thing, I leave before the registration is required. For the magazine issue, I use spacers that are “permanently” attached.

There should be a few YouTube vids out there that show open guns in slow motion showing how much the single and dual sided mounts flex under recoil. The dual sided flex just a smidge less vs the single side but concerns with ejection are still there. If ejection is “perfect”, using either one shouldn’t matter.

That was on my mind flying home when I had to provide my combination. Luckily the gun was still there when I got my bag. I like Hunter’s idea of locking the gun within the case thru the trigger guard. I may have to implement that for the trip out to Frostproof in October.

And that’s what I thought also. Screen capture below is from the TSA website today. I tried arguing my case as you stated but the only option they gave me was to provide them my combination to my case or my bags won’t be loaded onto the flight and I’ll miss my flight.

I use a cable lock along with a hard sided pistol case in my soft sided luggage. Use TSA locks on your pistol case. I traveled with a non TSA lock on my pistol case for years but just recently experienced an instance where TSA needed access to the inside of the hard case to “verify” the pistol was unloaded. Got a page over the PA system and while talking to them, they asked for my combination. They were inspecting my luggage in a “sterile” area so I wasn’t allowed to watch them do it. I was certain I had to be present (from a legal standpoint) while they inspected but that’s not the case. The inspection process varies from airport to airport but St. Louis was the first time I had to give my combo code over the phone.

Not much but use discount code RMRHIRO5 for 5% off your order. I use them for practice and matches. Accuracy at 25 yards is excellent. Feeds nicely and a bargain for a quality jhp.

A competent gunsmith could cut a shallow dovetail where the scalloped area is. I’ve seen a few done nicely. Though not sure if you can do a ball detent option since there’s not much material remaining after a dovetail is cut in the scalloped area.

Still the same.

They omitted L10 and Revo last year due to low attendance from previous years.

A TSA agent demonstrated to me what is and isn’t acceptable regarding flimsy, “hard sided” cases. If he can open it (even when locked) and touch the gun or somehow slide the gun out from the case, it’s a no go.

what size is that hex? I’ve had good results with MIP/Thorp hex drivers to break loose small hex screws with red loctite. They’re sized so well, there is very little to no play when used. Look around for the best price. Not cheap for a single hex driver but if I knew how well these worked from the beginning, I would have saved myself a bunch of headaches.

On the rare occasion I buy new brass, I do it only to verify there’s a firing pin hole....

What’s accuracy like with the loads you currently have?

Not compressed for either hs6 or ac. about 8.2 grains of hs6 to make 168pf out of my gun.

Odd. You would think the material that’s missing from the cavity of a jhp has to go elsewhere to makeup for the weight hence a slightly longer bullet for a jhp...

Doesn’t look too bad. You may want to chrono to confirm. When comparing jhp vs. cmj bullet head length of equal weight, a jhp should be slightly longer. A slightly longer bullet will seat further into the case for a given oal. That small amount might be the cause of some of your overpressure signs. If it’s the smearing of the firing pin hit that concerns you, you may want to try an extended length firing pin. The smear may go away but by no means does it say you’re running less pressure.

Flew many times with a combination of guns and ammo, ammo only, guns only, etc, etc. Declare it. If you don't, they'll call you back to the ticketing counter and ask why you didn't declare it. At that point, they'll weigh your ammo and let you take 11 lbs only. Any other weight above 11 lbs will need to be surrendered to the airport police. That was on one of my domestic flight.

primer residue in the tube?

Pics please....
