JDMarshall Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I see the rolling thunder is 1" X 3.5". Our club rules keep comps to within 1"X3" any longer and you are in open. I'm neither skilled nor financially positioned to run open gear. Does anyone know if one could turn down some of the length and recut the threads to fit within the 3" length or would it be better to just run a comp that fits within the 3" length?

warpspeed Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I don't think so. You could probably shorten it on the muzzle end but you would be better off run a comp that is 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I have run mine all over and never had anyone say anything. I don't think Benny would have one out that would be for open only. I have 7 on my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 You can shorten from threaded end to index without crush washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Are you sure about the 3" rule? That was an old rule. Mostly NRA type matches now go with the rule. I have not seen it in multi gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 It is 3" from the muzzle. My comp is 3" from the muzzle. You do not count the 1/2" that threads over your barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMarshall Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 OK that makes sense Benny. FYI brownells states in the tech tab for this comp that due to the 3.5 length you will be in open class and I checked our club rules to confirm. But you sir make a valid point that the threaded section does not affect OAL. Thanks for the wisdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMarshall Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 I sent brownells a note on that. I'd think folks would shy away with the description saying it will have you in open class. Not a savvy marketing plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
