    Just let me know when you're free if you head down this way. If you give me a day or so of warning I can grab the rifle from my dad.

    Indeed. He lives in Snohomish. Also, I plan to be up that way this saturday for a little while. Perhaps we could meet up in the afternoon (I don't know precisely what time I'd be free) and you could check it out.

    Just a note: assuming you're zeroed at 100 you'll be dialing up for distances under 100.

    Having been involved in USPSA match administration I would advise against trying to MD-by-committee. You'll never reach a consensus.

    I agree. Obviously you don't want a match to be too easy, but it's also important to keep it from being too hard since nobody likes going to a match and shooting 10%. I think the top shooters being around 70% is just right.

    Thanks to Unknown and Kevin for hosting the match. I had a great time and look forward to coming out next time.

    Gunsmithing Converting AICS Mags..... need help!

    I've done this myself by disassembling the mag and carefully drilling out the twospot welds. Then fill in the holes by using a thick strip of copper that you can slide into the magazine and clamp against the front face. I filled in the holes easily from the outside with a MIG setup. The welding...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Just picked up a G17 for $400!!

    Unless you have the night sight version with the metal sights, I'd replace the factory plastic sights. I'm also a fan of cleaning up and polishing the contact surfaces on the trigger bar, striker, striker block, and connector. You can get a much nicer trigger pull without spending anything. I...

    Adventure Sports in Lynnwood had, I believe, 2 pounds of H4350 left as of about 4pm yesterday. I don't know if you want to drive that far, but they may at least rate a call if you're still looking.

    Suppressors No ATF forms, no shooting?

    Some buddies and I were shooting up on Forest Service land last year in Whatcom County and a couple of sherrifs pulled up and started talking to us. We had a few suppressors and the sheriffs asked to see our Form 4s. I reminded them that we're only required to show them to the ATF and they...

    For you guys/gals that shoot the Hornady 105 HPBTs.

    I used .020" off the lands in my 6mmAR and they shot very well.

    Semi-Auto vs Bolt Gun: Precision/Tactical Matches

    Having shot both, I consider the semi-auto to be an advantage only if matches move to a "time+" scoring system. I've got an AR10 platform rifle in 6XC and it's extremely accurate and fast to shoot, but it suffers the same drawbacks that all the same type of rifles do when shot from less steady...

    The bridge that takes I5 over the river between Mt. Vernon and Burlington. Mile marker 227 or something like that. There are a couple of ways you can get around it if you take surface streets through Mt. Vernon though I'm sure it'll be a mess since all I5 traffic will be rerouted. The other...

    I wish I didn't have to move dirt and do yardwork all weekend! :( Just watch out for traffic issues going North once you get to the mess caused by the bridge collapsing in Mt. Vernon.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kahr PM9 vs Springfield XDS 45

    I've got a PM9 and I love it. It's tiny, accurate, surprisingly easy to shoot, and 6+1 or 7+1 rounds of ammo in such a small package is nice. As has been mentioned the trigger is long, but mine is very smooth and not very heavy. For the gun's intended use I don't have any problems with the trigger.

    I'm not arguing for or against the 6.5 Creedmoor, but one of the design goals for it was that it would function well in AR platform rifles. I had one for a while and it fed great, and I have a buddy who has had similarly good luck with it in an AR. Now, I know I've only got 2 examples of first...

    SWEET!!! Just scored a MATEN KeyMod Upper/Lower Set from Rainier Arms!

    I did a MATEN build in 6XC last summer. It worked out very well.

    Thanks Craig. I figured a name-change was in order. :D
