I thought so too!

So CoF has a window that activates a swinger. Shooter proceeds to open the window by pushing it with the muzzle of his gun. RO stops shooter and calls DQ shooter appeals and is granted a reshoot because it was not specified in the briefing that window should be opened by hands only. Appeal was granted before the RO was able to mention what rule was breached. Is there such a rule?

I forgot what lengths it was, brother. Sorry. But i think the old ammo was *.450 and the new was *.39 not sure but maybe around that range

So I recently purchased ammo from another store. Shot a recent match with it and landed with 2 nose dives in my first stage. 2nd stage to next to last, used my leftover ammo from the usual store i buy my ammo from and had no problems whatsoever. Last stage, ran out of old ammo, used the new ammo and had the same nose dive jams. Used 3 different magazine, all the same jams with the same ammo. I just checked the lengths of both ammos, new ones that jam have shorter OAL from the old ones. Do shorter OAL really cause these kind of jams or should i look at another culprit?

hi, guys! i have an old comp i want to use again. problem is, the previous gunsmith i had, said that it won't work anymore because the treads on the comp are already "re-sleeved" and it wont align correctly anymore. just want to confirm his diagnosis or is the comp thread repairable and can still be aligned properly? thanks!

limtd shtr, i'm not from the US so i don't have access to cheely and other gunsmiths there. so best i can do is have one made.

Jid2, saw your post on comp design. you think your design can work on my barrel?

so i finally shot it without a comp and guess what, guys, no fliers! explained this to the GS and he generously offered to refund me in full for the comp. so now i am going to have one built and now i am confused on what to have built, the one where the ports go from big to small or the ones where it starts from small to big like the Akai types.

None taken, jid2. Ac6r, it's a schuemann hybrid .38super. I think the comp ream diameter is already at .385 guys. Is there still room to make it bigger?

purchased the "new and improved" RTS2. first few shots (while zeroing) the dot turns off. seems like the thin rubber that they pre-installed under the battery contact point is too thin to prevent the battery from jumping and losing contact. i added rubber bands under it and no problems so far.

thanks for the input, guys! toolguy, yup, i think the comp is fitted tightly with the barrel with no movement at all. i'm not familiar with the process of making a comp, but from what i saw, when they made it, there was just a rectangular piece of metal attached to the end of my barrel. then the gunsmith said that they were going to bore a hole through there to make sure that there will be no alignment issues. logan, i was also pondering on that possibility. can it really be a design issue? btw, if you guys notice the two small ports at the end of the barrel, just before the big ports of the comp? that is what the gunsmith is blaming the problem for. he says that the bullet cannot make a full turn before exiting the barrel that why it already starts to tumble as soon as it leaves the barrel and that's why the bullet is hitting the bafles. is that also a possibility? i also checked the diameter of the port by putting a bullet head through it. the bullet has a lot of wiggle space just like what the GS says. however, i already did my research and i gathered that the porting of the barrel should not cause the tumbling as long as the crown is intact. yes, my friend and i have the same gunsmith and they don't mass produce their comps. they get the customer's barrel first and they they start from there. i'm not panicking right now but i will be soon because that's the gun that i'm gonna use for the World Shoot this October! my practice gun also gave up on me last week due to slide cracking also. sigh.

hi, guys. i was wondering if any of you have experience or have you heard of a certain type of barrel being incompatible with a particular kind of comp. i recently had a used barrel be refitted with a new comp. my problem is, whenever we try to zero it, we notice that the bullet hits a comp port and the bullet tumbles/keyholes. so when we ream that particular part of the comp and go back to the range to zero, the bullet hits another part of the comp again! so this morning, after reaming the part where the bullet hits the comp port for the third time, we tried to zero it and lo and behold, it now hits another port of the comp! the gunsmith says that the problem must be with barrel. but we can't find anything wrong with the barrel. i had it re-crowned also just to be sure but still same problem. so now i just had a conversation with a buddy of mine who also had his old barrel be re-fitted with this particular kind of comp and he has the same problems as I. his gun shot straight and grouped well before but since he put in this new comp, he also was not able to zero and group his shots (lots of flyers). he and i have the same kind of barrel (schue rib type hybrid). we are baffled because other shooters who have the same kind of comp as us but have another kind of barrel do not have the problems that we have! is it safe to say that the comp is the problem with our guns or is it our barrel? btw, my friend says that when he took out the comp and shot groups with his gun without any comp, the shots grouped tight.

Hi, guys. I have a problem with my STS. There was this one time that i forgot my gun case in front of the air conditioner. when i brought it out of the case, my gun was very cold and it was moist. when i shot it, i was really having trouble looking for the dot. the dot was very weak when i used it in broad daylight. needless to say, i shot the stage point-shooting as i gave up on finding the dot. after finishing the stage, i tried replacing the batteries just in case that was the problem, but it didn't do any good. do you have any suggestions on how i can fix the problem? i'm in the philippines so i can't just send it back to C-More.

thanks for the welcome chuck. i've had conversations with other modified shooters in this forum before. they helped me decide on how to build the gun too. lynn, unfortunately i can't access the ipsc global village. i've been registering there for the longest time but still no luck.

hi guys. just had my modifed gun built. but there are rumors that the modified division will be deleted next year (2010). is this true?!
