Where is the best place to buy functional, at a reasonable price, metric steel or aluminum FAL magazines? Thanks! Guy

Who are some or all of the current manufacturers of these 'cat tails'? Links to the sites where they are marketed? Thanks in advance!

I want the most velocity with reliability. Guy Hawkins Lubbock, Texas

I would like to get the most accuracy with the maximum velocity that will fit in the mag and function perfectly. I do also care about how clean it burns and leaves the rifle, FIRE AWAY! Thanks folks! Guy P.S. I do not want to blow up my rifle but do not care about slightly more than average wear. I also would like actual experience on the accuracy through different length barrels and twist rates. Any info on the cannelure vs. non-cannelure bullet in a semi rifle would also be appreciated (I think I know the non-cannelure will be pushed back or move more easily in the case than a cannelured bullet. Feel free to address anything else I have forgotten.

Trapr and everyone, Thanks I just ordered 3 of the Larue mounts! Guy Hawkins

On a regular AR15 flattop, without a riser, what height (and brand) rings do you use? I am mounting a 1-4x meopta. Guy Hawkins Thanks!

What is the red in front of the muzzle on the pistol?

No kidding!! I was at a match where I saw and RO click the timer belt friction loop (the thingy that holds it to your belt) after the shooter stopped and make the guy have way more time than what he ran, I thought there was going to be a fist fight. It was kinda like a 'you ain't winning unless your cheating' thing. I always try to show the shooter, right after they stop, the time (unless they are doing something unsafe or something more important which needs my attention). Guy Hawkins

According to the 2008 Shotgun Rules App. D2 there is no limit on magazine length, just the number of rounds loaded. Doug I thought so, thank you Doug for confirming that!!

It the competitor limited in the capacity that the shotgun will hold or just the number of shells the competitor can start with in the shotgun in each division? Thanks! Guy Hawkins

Anyone shot this stuff? What were your impressions? Where is the best place to buy it , price-wise, or other good .308 right now? Thanks folks!! Guy Hawkins

Thanks guys! I will lube up after every 50-60 rounds or so. I usually run 400-500 with Federal AE but that is with a freshly lubed gun. Thank you!

And if you really want to get into the match when all the slots in your category are taken, well I guess it is time to learn to shoot irons! (I really feel like giggling but I won't) ' If results are shown overall & then by division, who really cares how many in your division.' MLM the prize table would be better under the 'Trapr Plan' because of more people in the class means getting apportioned more prizes. In a non-prize match I do totally agree with you though! We used to shoot heads up without classes and I liked that. Nothing like competeing againsted a major caliber tricked out comped gun with a minor caliber stock Glock.

I shot the other day with some Wolf ammo (62gr .233) and I noticed my bolt carrier assembly was dry after about 100 rounds and it was having trouble chambering the round. I have to admit I had not had the rifle out in 2 years (hard to believe it has been that long) and it is possible that the lube had drained off the carrier and maybe the rifles chamber was getting hot and was causing the chambering problem. I thought that since the steel case doesn't seal to the chamber as well as a brass case that maybe there is some blowback which would cause the loss of lube. Anyone have to lube more using Wolf? Thanks! Guy Hawkins

WOW Guy, this is an ARVN dude shooting a suspected NVA bad guy, I would hate to see it if I showed up to your matches with irons?? I would put up more of a fight, in this case. Jimmy Jimmy, Just don't show up with handcuffs on and you will be fine! LOL! Guy

You just made the case for keeping iron sight class!

Here is a picture of an iron sighted shooter (on the right) attempting to sign up for one of the matches which will place him in the scoped class with his irons Moderator Note: Picture removed due to the fact that it is heavily copyrighted and exceptionally inappropriate for a forum based on shooting sports.

What percentage usually shoots he-person division in matches? (he-man is sexually biased.......LOL!) Maybe we should create a rule that the participants in any division must have more than 10-15% of the overal shooters in the match or they have the option of shooting in the next closely appropriate division based on their equiptment............or going home. That will draw them in. Man, I think that would work out great!!! The next thing we should do is be like IDPA and have a 10 round magazine limit since that makes sense as well. I only carry 10 rounds in my Glock 17 since they created that rule.(sarcasm) Guy Hawkins P.S. Which matches are saying that they are going to do away with iron division?? I don't believe in retaliation but persuasive pressure I do believe in.

It is hard to shoot well and that is the reason it is a seperate division now, that is exactly why I think it should be kept. I say do not do away with it. The seperate scoring can't be that hard. Kurt why do you feel they want to do away with it? Please give all the viable reasons. I am sure that will get folks responding to this post! I really don't see why they want to dump it. Guy Hawkins

This guy is freakin' Einstein!.............or Hitler.............or the Dali Lama. Or me.........his soul is condemned to HELL! Why doesn't anyone listen to this guy? We need standard IPSC and non-IPSC match rules. Period. Or I am going to start the 'Rainbow match' here in Texas. Bennie will be invited since he (her) has has a rainbow sticker on his back window. Love, Guy P.S. Ammo prices are bad enough but with so many rules people have to have the bank account of Bill Gates just to keep the equiptment to shoot them all!

LOL !!!! I am sure you have. Guy

WOLF 52GR VS. 62 GR Accuracy, recoil, making minor and any other considerations. If anyone has shot a volume, or has not, please state how much you have shot along with your comments. Chrono results? Accuracy results from different platforms. Comments? Thanks! Guy Hawkins P.S. Anyone reloading cheaper than Wolf (or close to it) your comments and info will be appreciated as well. THIS BOARD RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody want to list any local or major matches so we can plan our 2008 shooting calendar?? Thanks! Guy Hawkins

If you want to buttstroke someone you have to shift your grip, to the top of the stock, with the pistolgrip, but don't with the straight stock. Straight stock..WINNER!!!! Bennie, by buttstroke I do not mean getting your butt stroked with an implement (an implement is a tool) so calm down and take a cold shower..... Guy Hawkins

Any help? Anyone have one for sale? I want an M2 with ghostring sights and a straight (no pistolgrip) comforteck stock. Guy Hawkins sofgl@yahoo.com
