I'm pretty happy with mine.

The prices aren't at all out of line. I've paid more for less.

That's the main reason that I use (and recommend!) the 100-yd. zero. Well, that and the 100-yd. indoor range, twenty minutes from my house.

Yup, the gas block is aligned. Forgot to mention that one. Some additional research on the internets indicates that my gas port might be undersize. 0.093"-0.096" is the size range for a 20" barrel with a 13.2" gas system. Crane drills the gas ports on the Mk12 (18" barrel, 13.2" gas system)...

I have an AR upper built around one of the 18" Satern barrels from Doc's Gun Shop. I cannot, no matter what I try, get this rifle to lock back consistently on an empty magazine. I've tried: - Different bolt carrier groups (BCM full auto, JP stainless low mass, old-style JP Aluminum) -...

So it's like two bullets in one? :D

DP?

'Bout 130 in a 9x19. Exact same load I use for USPSA Production.

A few more practice sessions, and I've started shooting in my new rifle. Also got a new .22 trainer, so those numbers will be spiking soon... YTD Totals: 9mm Minor - 2653 .40 Major - 873 5.56mm Bulk - 255 5.56mm Match - 175 12ga. Shot - 337 12ga. Slugs - 94 .22LR - 946 Grand Total - 5333 since...

Impromptu pistol/shotgun practice at NVGC today. Worked mostly on box and barricade setups and SOTM. 390 9mm, 100 12ga. shot. Had a couple of indoor range practice sessions in there too. YTD Totals 9mm minor - 2368 .40 major - 873 5.56mm bulk crap - 120 5.56mm match - 120 12ga. shot - 337...

I shoot quite a bit of offhand rifle. For one thing, that's one of the only ways that I can shoot rifle at the indoor range - the ROs get a little weird when I start using the furniture for improvised barricade positions. For another thing, I firmly believe that good offhand rifle translates...

Ouch. I was practicing quads just tonight, barefoot. I think I'll stop doing that.

I train at the indoor range a lot - I live like ten minutes from one of the nicest indoor ranges in the country. You need to have a realistic understanding of what the indoor range can offer you. You're not going to be able to set up target arrays, shoot on the move, or practice setups. But...

Thanks! Need more shotgun, though.

So 2015 is the first year I've really kept track: 9mm minor - 1978 .40 major - 608 5.56mm bulk crap - 120 5.56mm match - 120 12ga. shot - 237 12ga. slugs - 64 .22LR - 696 Grand Total - 3823
