From what are they "curing" ??
The Loctite is curing on the outer threads that screw into the powder bar.

If you're referring to brand - Carlson Optima HP from Optics Planet.

Is everyone talking about the same "box"?
IPSC: 225mm (8.86") x 150mm (5.91") x 45mm (1.77") *
IDPA: 8 3/4" x 6" x 1 5/8"
USPSA: 8 15/16" x 6" x 1 5/8"
*it doesn't appear to me the IPSC Prodution Division is subject to the "box", only a maximum barrel length of 127mm (https://www.ipsc.org/rules/divlistP.php), maybe someone who knows better can chime in?
IPSC does not use a box for Prod Div. If it's on the list and meets all other division rules it's good to go.
USPSA has a Prod Div list with division rules, and uses the box....For the life of me I can not figure why.

3 Gun CZ's
in CZ
Who is rocking a CZ for 3 gun?
If so .. which are you using and are you clearing are using safety for the dump?
I am going with the accu shadow and kept the big safeties on this one so I can use that for dumping the gun... thought about throwing a magwell on it just for 3 gun and removing for production but not thinking its really all that necessary.
Just for fun question/thread is all
If you go with the magwell, you will need to use shorter grips and longer basepads.

I went with the Nordic +4. This gives me 9 in the tube for the start, and I tend to reload after 6 or 8 because I use L2/6's or 4x4 carriers. Cutting the spring seems to be a trial and error kind of thing. Some guys go 10" beyond the tube and other go 12". Buy extra springs and try a few different lengths.

I see this thread is back so I'll update. I bought the Stag 3G, installed a JP comp and a Primary Arms 1-6 scope. I shot the SMM3G in March - I need more practice at 300yds. Shoots 55gr bullets over 24.9gr Varget very well. I just need to learn to control my breathing during a match.

Without knowing where you are, it's hard to say if it's a good deal based on what's available in your area. So many members here have favorites/bookmarks from all over the world that someone may be able to point you in a different more affordable direction, or better quality at the same price.

Anyone running aftermarket sights? If so what kind. Thinking about swapping my stock ones out.

I'm using the HiViz TriComp FO front sight with the stock center bead.

I just want to check the concesnus as to how you guys wear your ar mag pouch for multi gun before I purchase one.
Do you guys wear it canted sideways or upright and why? Thank you
As you can see, there are many variations. Try them all to see which works best for you. I carry mine just in front of left hip bone(10 o' clock), angled back 45*, bullets facing down.

I liked the 1/2 day format. The only question I have is 'Could the Sponsor Appreciation awards have been done Saturday night at the banquet throughout the dinner?'.......instead of added a considerable amount of time to the shooter awards/prizes ceremony. Sunday really turned into a very long day for some folks.
-
Don't forget the .22cal upper for your rifle, so you can practice at smaller matches.
-
I don't know if this matters....but I haven't seem the manufacturer of the 1301 support 3-gun or USPA too much. Please correct me if I am wrong as I haven't been to many matches the last 24 months.
Maybe producing this gun in this configuration is the first step???

OK; Is it just Carlson making it out to be a big deal ? It sounds like everyone here is saying, it will be fine No Worries. Right ?
I don't believe Carlson is making it out to be a big deal. You are looking for someone else to tell you that it's perfectly OK to shoot slugs through a LM choke. To avoid liability over you blowing up your gun or injuring yourself, they will not do that. Every reply on this forum has been a story of everyones personal experience, but no one has come right out and told you to do it and that it is 100% safe. You must decide for yourself how much risk (if any) you are willing to take.

Any timeline on the +4 basepads for the SP01 Shadows?

I'm not wanting to sound harsh here but I really believe excessive penalties for not shooting targets are nothing more than a fix for poor course design. If I as a stage designer come up with a stage that is so difficult that not shooting a target can result in a better score than shooting it, the competitors are not the problem.
I think there is also a common issue that many stage designers have in that they feel they must somehow design stages that will 'test' the top shooters. This mindset leads to stages that punish average shooters. The problem is you can't test the top shooters, they can only test themselves. They have the mental discipline to perform at or close to the top of their ability regardless of the stage difficulty. No problem for the best, punishing for the rest. If anything, the thing that will most often give a great shooter trouble is an easy, wide open stage. A stage that is so easy they don't put much mental prep into shooting it, or has some speed traps that 'seduce' them into trying to go faster than they can. A shooter walking away from a stage thinking, "man, I screwed that one up big time" is not a problem, walking away thinking, "I was screwed before I even pulled the trigger" is.
Way back in the day when I ran a lot of matches my goal in course design was always, 'is the C class shooter going to walk away from this match and say that he had fun'? If the answer was yes, then I felt I had done a good job. This does not mean that that match couldn't be challenging, just that the challenges have to be kept in balance. Keep the shots doable. Keep the targets past 200 yards at least 4moa, 6 would be better. A 3moa target at 300 yards is still no problem for the pros, but the average weekend shooter might as well just skip it and take the 30 second penalty. No matter what targets you put down range the best shooters are going to hit them faster, the only real issue is how hard do you want to make it for everyone else?
Lets use this example. We have a stage that has eight long range rifle targets at the end of it, between 150 and 350 yards. Our shooters are two top competitors and an average shooter. If the targets down range are all small, say 4moa or less. The two pros are not going to think about each other very much, it's focusing on the shots and applying the fundamentals that is important. The average shooter will not make all of the shots and pick up a bunch of penalties. Now make the targets huge, lets say 10moa. Now the two pros have a problem. They both know the other is most likely going to shoot the plates eight for eight, and it's not the fundamentals that are most important, it's how fast you can apply them. Each knows he HAS to be fast to win. So the bigger targets are going to put more mental pressure on the pros and the average shooter will still finish third, but at least he will have had a lot more fun doing it.
The question comes down to, who are you designing the match for? The 25 or so competitors who have a chance at winning, or the other 200 who are doing it just for fun?
My 2 cents.
Your 2 cents is the million dollar answer. I know I'm a little late to this thread, but this is the kind of discussion I like. Anytime someone uses the word 'gamer' I respond with 'course design' To add to what you said, if the 200 don't have fun and don't return, the 25 top competitors won't have much of a match next time.

I have 2 rifle mag pouches, but I only ever have 1 on my belt. I come to the line with a mag in the pouch and one in my pocket to load. Mine is set up for bullets back. Actually I have it in front, canted at about 45* back, so the bullets are more down than back. This way I draw the mag out & back at a 45* angle rather than straight up. The second pouch just stays in the bag as a spare.

Good videos Richard.
In stage 2, what was the point of the 'X' shaped shooting area if you were allowed to travel outside of it? Why not just put 4 boxes down?
Stage 4, the 4 max traps operating at one time doesn't look to friendly.

I must be a cheap bugger. I just have 10 primer tubes loaded and ready. Just can't see paying hundreds of $$$ for a machine to do a very simple task. I guess being retired affords me the time to do these things.

Normally I would suggest the 550, but since you included 5.56 in your mix, i would recommend the 650 as the case feeder will handle rifle rounds. You DO want a case feeder. Eventually you will up your production, and the case feeder is awesome. Personally I wouldn't bother with the powder check (or a low powder warning). Just my humble opinion.

Okay boys and girls, help me understand about followers. I realize that some of the aftermarket followers are shorter (overall length) than the Beretta follower. How are they better other than being a brighter color and being a lower drag?
Pat
I think you answered your own question. They're shorter - this may allow that 1 extra round to be loaded, depending on your tube configuration. They're lower drag - they're less likely to 'hang up' and cause feeding issues.

In regards to the inverted shooting devise, Will we be shooting rifle, shotgun or pistol?
Adrenaline, followed by a shot of Tequila.

I've heard of people using a length of Tygon tubing to direct finished rounds into a bucket under their bench.

Good match. Stage 1 was tougher on the RO's than the competitors as a few of us used bird/buck from Area A.
