Where did you all find instructions on how to remove the bolt hold open tab on the magazine followers?
Just remove the follower, push out the pin holding the tab in, remove said tab and spring, then reassemble your magazine.

Hiperfire would be a great choice. I have multiple older models of their triggers and they're all great. Running a 24 3gun in my 223 rifle and an Eclipse in my PCC. My older PCC is running a Rise RA-140 that I picked up off a prize table and it's been working great as well.

I mostly shoot 3gun and outlaw PCC style matches, but occasionally do USPSA as well. I run a 25yd zero and have found that it's a great all-around zero distance for me. I ran 3MOA Razors last year in top and 45. This year I'm using a Vortex UH-1 as my primary optic and a 6MOA Viper offset.

Why? The rules that I quoted specifically allow them.
It would be allowed if you got the NFA version with a stock and SBR'd it, but they are a pistol brace and specifically not allowed.

As others have said, the Vortex Razor 1-6 is awesome and exceptionally bright. I don't think I've ever had to turn mine past 7 or 8 on the brightest day.

The ATF cameo
-
My first two seasons I was running a Vortex Razor 3moa on top and a Venom 3moa 45 offset. I'm building a new PCC for next season and I'm testing out a new setup on my old PCC in the meantime. Running the Vortex UH-1 as the primary and a 6moa Viper on the 45. I like the speed of the circle dot setup on the UH-1, but it still has a 1moa center dot for precision. I mostly shoot 2x4 in 3 gun, so I regularly shoot a lot longer shots than in USPSA and the finer dot is helpful for that.

I'd probably get a hold of Mike & Lan at Dissident Arms.

The new Vortex Micro 3x magnifier & mount is reversible for left or right.

I have a Aero M5E1 lower/upper combo that I built with their 15" handguard and a Faxon 16" lightweight profile .308 barrel. With a Magpul PRS stock and Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16 scope, it's over 12lbs. Kinda hard to make a large frame rifle too light, but if you have the M5E1 like I do, it's definitely going to be heavier than most.

I've still never shot a match that required buckshot. I've only been to one where it was optional on 10 targets, but didn't make sense for most stage plans and only a few people tried it. My Stoeger M3K runs Remington managed-recoil 8 pellet 00 with no issues, but I've only used those on coyotes. I haven't even tested buckshot in my open gun.

Couple 2 of them base to base, probably will get around 70 rounds in it easily.

You'll be fine switching to that handguard. The upper receiver is mil spec and the FM handguard comes with it's own barrel nut.

Who would be interested in staying at the range? Seriously thinking about setting up a "lodge/bunk house" - rooms with 4 beds, bathroom ~$30 per night per person.
Yes?
No?
Comments . . .
My shady motel in Versailles wasn't too bad this year, but staying at the range would be nice and definitely more fun.

I don't know... shooting all the poker chips out of holders that were no shoots, shooting clays out of stars where the plates were no shoots and so on. That kind of shooting challenge over and over again doesn't sound fun. When a match makes a huge 180 in tone I'm sure many people's expectations weren't met, going from hoser one year to super sniper the next.
The clay star didn't bother and I cleaned it 1 for 1, but IMHO, and I'm not the only one, the poker chips were dumb. Having them on one stage would've been kind of a fun novelty, but there was no need to put them on multiple stages or have them set with only 1/3 of the chip showing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the hell out of the match overall, just giving my feedback on what I didn't like.

Got the email last night. Looking forward to seeing you guys again next year.

So who here is going to the Lucas Oil PCC Championship? If so, what squad and schedule are you shooting? I'm on squad 27 shooting the Saturday AM/Sunday PM schedule.

I think it's pretty cool. I'll probably pick one to use with an AR pistol lower and snag a cheap short barrel upper to play around with.

ETS magazines require that you keep them clean, they don't tolerate dirt like the Glock factory mags do. Other than that, my Taccom and TF base plates work fine with ETS.
My ETS/MBX combos have worked great, but I agree that that are a bit more sensitive to dirt than others. In my experience, you can just slide them onto extensions and they work without any issues. I've had to do a lot of tuning to get my Glock mags to work with any extensions greater than a +5/6.

I run my factory IC choke at least 90% of the time. I've run the Mod choke a few times when there were some tight clay no shoots and I'll pop in the C if it's a close hoser stage, but quite a few times I just run IC on those as well.

There should be absolutely no difference between dry fire and dummy round with empty primer pocket firing. If you're bending firing pins, there's either something wrong with your gun or your dummy rounds. If you can dry fire the gun without damage, then obviously the problem is with your dummy rounds.

Where do I find the discount?
Once you have an account setup on their website, just send them an email stating that you're a Enos forum member and they'll permanently apply it to your account. Once they do that and you login in, you'll see the special pricing. Some items don't have a discount or a very small one, but it's significant on certain items. Saved me a few bucks on my MBX Mega extensions.

Tried to order a MBX Mini last night..........DENIED !!!!
The will not ship to Colorado.
Order them from Shooter's Connection. They're a forum sponsor and have a discount for forum members as well. I ordered mine through them when I still lived in Colorado before moving to a free state.

I'm running MBX Mega with ETS mags, Taylor Freelance +10 with Glock 31rd mags, and Taran Tactical +5/6 with Glock 17rd mags. They all function perfectly, although the TF needed a little chamfering of the follower to work. I also have a few factory Glock 33rd mags that I use for reloads, as I feel that I get a better grip on them and that they're easier to jam in while under the stress of the timer.
Aftermarket AR Barrel Fluting
in General Gunsmithing
Posted
I had a 24" bull barrel shortened to 22", threaded, and fluted by a local rifle builder for a reasonable fee. Took nearly a pound out of it, but could've gone way more aggressive with the fluting. Did it more for looks than anything. It went on a precision gas gun that weighs 14lbs, so I wasn't really trying to save weight.
