Hello, Do you know if there is a quality carbon fiber handguard that will fit the new JP barrel nut / attachment system ? JP calls it the MK III Hand Guard System. It doesn't have the original 6 screws: http://jprifles.com/1.4.4_hg_mkiii.php Thank a lot Jerome.

Hello, That's (or that was...) my gun. As Julien says, it's a Ionbond process. if I remember well, it's either their Top Gear or Hard Cut coatings. http://www.ionbond.com/mm/LQ_Ionbond_Brochure_CuttingTools_EN_EUR.pdf

Here is the rule: 10.5.3. If at any time during the course of fire, a competitor drops his firearm or causes it to fall, loaded or not. Note that a competitor who, for any reason during a course of fire, safely and intentionally places the firearm on the ground or other stable object will not be disqualified provided: 10.5.3.1. The competitor maintains constant physical contact with the firearm, until it is placed firmly and securely on the ground or another stable object, and 10.5.3.2. The competitor remains within 1 meter of the firearm at all times (except where the firearm is placed at a greater distance, under the supervision of a Range Official, in order to comply with a start position), and 10.5.3.3. The provisions of Rule 10.5.2 do not occur, and 10.5.3.4. The handgun is in the ready condition as specified in Section 8.1, or 10.5.3.5. A self-loading pistol has the magazine removed and the slide locked open, or 10.5.3.6. A revolver has the cylinder open and empty. 10.5.2. Allowing the muzzle of a firearm to point uprange, or past the default, or specific safe angles of fire during a course of fire, (limited exceptions: see Rules 5.2.7.3 and 10.5.6).

It's an airsoft ipsc target (2/3?), fitted with a mechanism taken from a VERY cheap Ikea clock (http://www.ikea.com/...oducts/70098989) And yes, there are two .45 alphas in the head box BTW, Saul sells his own design http://www.doublealpha.biz/fun-items/ipsc-clock.htm

Thanks Randy. Got your email

Yes, it's a software for your pc, so that you can plug in the timer and analyse the shots. If I understood well... And I can't find a contact email on the PACT website. I'll try to call them, but as I'm in Europe, a digital version would have been great.

Hi there, I just bought a PACT MK4 XP timer from the classified. (BTW, smooth ttansaction with fayetteflash). Does anybody have a user manual for it ? It's quite different from the one I had and lost... No more on/off switch for instance... Simple pictures or a pdf file would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

My new ipsc standard blaster: custom slide lightening, SV & EGW internals, Koenig hammer, Ed Brown safeties and rear sight, Dawson front sight, tungsten guide rod, Ion Bond coating...

I use a dremel with a disc cutter, very easy to section the case. Once you got one, adjusting takes a few seconds.

Like this one ?

Done

Damn, looks like you beat me for the 1000th post ! Anyway, as the OP of this thread, I'll get the 1000th reply with a soon-to-be finished new room:

How about the cool factor ? I just thought I would like it, so I asked my gunsmith to do the flutes. It reminded me of a revolver cylinder. I had never seen it before, so not only would it look good, but also be unique. And the result draws a lot of attention at matches As for the chamber strengh, the flutes are not very deep. There is still much more material there than around a .40 or .45 chamber. The gun has over 15000 rounds through this modified chamber (PF 170+) and no problem so far.

Jerome, WHO IS THE CUSTOM PISTOLSMITH THAT DIDC THE FLUTING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE AND TIME. It was done about 8 years ago by a French gentleman, who I think is not taking any pistol business anymore.

How about external fluting ? cosmetics, cosmetics...

Yes, should be for the Quebec Province of Canada. No for France, as I don't think they sell much of them here. Not sure about about the other French speaking countries (like Belgium and Switzerland...).

When I got my RF100 about 18 months ago, it was working "ok" with a rate of 1-3/100 upside-down primers. It took over 2 minutes to get all the 100 primers into the tube. A month later, the blue timer push-button stopped working. Then I got a then-new Dillon Rheostat. It must have been a prototype or a 110 volts unit (I live in a 220V country), but it barely started the machine, even at max setting... I got it free of charge locally, but rapidly sent it back. Then I started trying to adjust and tune the RFF100, making things much worse. I looks to me that I tried all what is possible, but I might not be creative or clever enough. Today, when I try to use it again, I have a rate of 20-30 upside-down primers. So I'm back at the pick-up tubes. And it still takes forever to get all the primers in the tube (sometimes 1 or 2 primers never want to go in...) This is the first Dillon product that I'm disappointed with (and I do have a LOT of them...). I know I shouldn't have tried to tinckle with it, but the initial failure rate was very deceptive. And all other Dillon products have been easy to adjust. Should I order a new Rheostat? Should I throw the unit away? (I can not sell it with that kind of failure rate). I know many people who are satisfied with their unit, and accept a small upside-down primers rate. But what's the point buying a RF100 to gain time, and then have to check (or box) all your ammo and pull the bullets off the upside-down rounds ? In my case, the whole process is faster with the primer pick-up tubes. (For the record, I load CCI and Fiocchi small primers, use the machine as instructed in the user manual, on a rock-solid bench)

Brian, I've been using the classic aerosol version for years, and I just love it. I use it not only on the brass, but also on many other things (key locks, etc...) Then I tried the new pump version. It's nowhere near as good as the old one! It's not as slick at all. It doesn't dry as fast (and almost doesn't dry at all, leaving a sticky pellicule on the brass that you must remove afterwards). I'll never buy it again. If I were living in the US, I could send you my 3 units for free. But I would not because I like you... Don't buy it. Hornady should never have named the pump the same as the aerosol. I guess you can tell I hate the new version as much as I love the classic one...

You can read it on Dillon website.

Same here. If someone has a few inches left, and willing to put them in an envelope, I'd appreciate (and pay for shipping of course).

I happened to buy some of them earlier this year. Below is a copy of the PM I sent to Fastshooter03 (Nick) who is the manufacturer. You can tell I'm happy with the product that work just as advertised. Nick told me before I bought them that they might need some filing on the flange to fit them in the press, so there was no surprise either. I recommend this product, as it solved a recurrent problem with my XL650, and I'm not affiliated in any way with the people making or selling it. Copy of the PM to the manufacturer: Hi Nick, I was finally able to use the tool heads last week. They work great. No more problem with 38 Super cases not aligning in station 1. At first, the tool heads would not fit in the press slots. So I filed them down a little, in order to get a tight fit. Now they don't move at all, and the cases in station 1 all go straight into the sizing/decap die everytime, which was not the case with original tool heads. I'm very satisfied, thank you.

Hi Gary, On the 4 case feeders that I know of, all in 220V, there seems to be no difference at all between high and low speed settings... And yes, I get the (more than) occasional traped case between the rotating feed disc and the opening in the bowl. I used to have one in 110V, with an adapter, that showed a huge difference in speed though. Maybe something for your team to research?

My sincerest condolences, Brian.
