With the upcoming USPSA election, I took a quick look in the bylaws and noticed that, according to section 6.3, only members that are US citizens are allowed to vote. AFAIK, USPSA doesnt track immigration status and there are definitely quite a few non-citizens members of USPSA and likely some of them vote too. I assume the bylaws have to be followed for an election to be valid, so how can USPSA guarantee the integrity of the election if there's a really close or contested race, when they really have no idea if someone really is eligible to vote or not? Maybe it's time to change the bylaws to instead read "Legal resident of the United States"? Seems easier than tracking people's immigration status

Ive seen quite a few JPs with issues too, so they're definitely not immune. MPXes do seem to have more issues though, but once you figure them out, they seem to run fine. MPXes are a little more ammo sensitive, but from what Ive seen in the two I have, its really more powder dependent, since they're gas operated, they seem to like slower powders. My carbine runs great down to 105-ish pf with 115gr bullets and VV3n37. 147gr bullet and VV320 barely runs at 130pf. Personally, I dont mind a little bit of initial tinkering out of the box of it runs 100% after that and since my MPXes both run great now and they shoot softer than my 9mm AR, it's an easy choice for me. Also, ARs with Glock mags are just fugly.

I'd say that the JP isnt really more reliable, but more likely to work out of the box. If you get an MPX that runs, it will be just as reliable as a JP.

The membership itself might be near zero cost, but the pursuit of that membership certainly doesnt seem to be free...

It's not really AR10 compatible either. I believe a DPMS-style upper will fit on their lower, but not the other way around, so meh again.

Meh. As far as I can tell, it's still only "AR-style", so wont fit on an AR10 lower.

Yeah, there are some other alternatives, but my Firebirds run great, so what I'm looking for is something made in the the US that fits on an AR10 lower.

One can dream, right? Been waiting for years on a "real" AR10-based shotgun, but it's apparently harder than it seems. Rhino went bye-bye and though Genesis Arms are allegedly shipping, the lack of a 10 round magazine leads me to believe that they can't get it to work and without anything larger than 5 (which is what they use in all promo videos), they probably wont be around for long. Can someone please take my money already?

I'd prefer to not rely on either Russia or Turkey for parts, but until that day, we Open shooters will have to get by. I kinda like what I've seen from the VEPRs coming out of DA and I even bought two host guns to have modified, but they dont run any flatter and definitely not better than my Firebirds, so I'm holding off on getting them built up for now. I'd def take a DA VEPR over an XTR any day though.

Depends on the clamp and gun (most likely how parallel barrel and tube are). I did some testing without clamp, fairly loose clamp and clamp tightened down hard. At 50y, there was no measurable change in POI. I might just have been lucky, since others have reported different results. If you want to play it safe, dont use a clamp. If you want to use a clamp, test it first.

My local and very friendly family run FFL was burglarized the other night. Apparently that wasnt enough, so they came back the next day and picked up what was left under gun point. Everyone is ok, which is the most important part. Me losing an EVO carbine that was waiting for pickup, less so, but still annoying. Anyone see a CZ EVO carbine with serial C079659, call the ATF.

Some guys dont like to shoot in the sun and prefer to have the match in a rainy and muddy place every now and then. It's also nice to have it in shitty locations where there's no risk of your significant other asking to come.

Elf 3gun triggers in both my carbine and pistol. It's a great trigger and they have stated they fully support use of their triggers in MPXs too. Good enough for me

Longer than that. I saw deuces in Germany back in 2004 or 2005.

Or get an Elftmann. They've stated that their triggers are still covered under warranty even if used in an MPX.

What's the difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 mags? If youre LEO or have a C&R, you can get Gen2s for $40. From where? Brownells

You're cool with a genetically male shooter receiving high lady? Maybe he didnt want to shoot L10?

30 round MPX mags are less than $5 more than factory 33 round Glock mags if you know where to look and they seem to be plentiful atm.

With 3n37, my 115gr@1200 fps open 3gun load is almost 1400 fps, so I dont doubt you However, with the brake not doing much to help it seemed like more gas just increased recoil and muzzle flip

There are quite a few 9mm ARs and MPXs up at Richmond, so I'm sure you could get trigger time behind both before deciding.

I have the JP 9mm brake on my AR. Even with 3n37 behind 115s, it's effect is really negligible .

I have one of the very first FB guns, as well as a later Tac 12. Both run 100% with 10 round mags and 99.7-99.8% with 15 rounders. My biggest concern about the Tac12A1 is that there's no brake option. Sure, you can put a muzzle one on later, but if I'm getting a $2k race gun, I want it to be a race gun when I get it. A minor concern is that some parts (barrel and bolts?) are not made in the US and still sourced from Turkey, and so far I've been extremely underwhelmed of the quality of anything Ive seen out of there. If they could make it 100% US made and offer it with a mid-barrel brake, I'd likely replace one of my old ones. And as to the price... guys building race guns out of Saigas take a $500 shotgun and turn it into a $3000 one, so not really any different there. Unfortunately building a race gun out of the current mag fed options is going to be expensive no matter which route you take.

If you want them to be collectible, you shouldnt really shoot them at all.

I have a UBR on my 9mm AR, a JP captured spring, a JP 9mm brake and shooting ammo loaded with 3n37 that probably wont make 120pf in my handguns and it still jumps around quite a bit, nowhere near my .22 or .223s. I just dont think you'll ever be able to get an AR as soft as a gas gun. I love my 9mm AR and it's a blast to shoot PCC with, but if I wanted to get serious about it, I'd definitely get an MPX instead.
