    Just this afternoon I had a company come to my house to check out my system as it wasn't working properly.  He cleaned it up got it working in about 15 min, I now know a place to clean that I didn't know before.

     

    I asked him if this was a good system and he replyed that they have replaced 90% of the timer/head areas of them.  I asked how much and he said around $650 for them to do it. He told me to just clean it when I had a problem.  My system is 10 years old.

  8. How $Much$ Does It Cost To Shoot 3 Gun Matches?

    The local style 1 day matches i've been to its been $20 to enter.  Additional cost are 1 hour drive, ammo that you shoot.  Normally say 50 - shot, 50 - 9mm, 50 - 5.56. Don't miss and its cheaperbeaten.gif

     

     

    Gear wise I run a cheap Glock 17 I got that was well used, $600 dollar ar I put together(as in upper pinned to lower), and saiga I converted. Most of the time you can put extra mags in your pockets.  Other times if you need more just what ever cheap holders you can find.  I have a good holster for my pistol, you don't want it falling out and getting you disqualified for the match. For the AR and saiga I have a $20 mag holder.

     

    You don't need to practice shooting to go to matches.  You don't need to hand load, factory rounds work fine.  Everything is up to what  you want to spend, what you want to do.

     

    You don't even want to know what "People deeply involved" in the sport spend. It would make you not want to try.

     

    3 gun is fun!! Best rush this side of racing that I've found besides alone time with your special lady.

  11. Nylon 66

    I have one that I bought in the PX at Ft Leonard Wood in 1968. Shoots well, but I haven't shot it in about 30 years. The Nylon 66 was Mohawk Brown, and tube magazine under the barrel. There was also a magazine fed version, called the Nylon 77, in Apache Black.

     

     

     

     

    I had a Nylon 77 in green when I was a boy.  I loved it, light weight and accurate, but it jammed 2 out of 10 shots so I traded it for my first AR.

     

    Bought one off of gunbroker for my boy so he could learn it deal with it and wouldn't you know it, it doesn't jam.

  18. my vepr just shipped

    in Vepr-12

    Don't have mine near me. But over all way nicer finish then my saigas. The only thing that I don't like is how the extra piece on the safety rubs on my hand even on fire. I'm going to flatten it out and bend it up higher.

     

    I got the plastic stock.

  23. Got my form 1 back. Possible issue.

    Orion replied today. They quoted $55 + $19 for return shipping and said in front of the magwell would work just fine. Good to know on the stamp. I'll call just to be safe, but hopefully won't have to wait for any kind of correction, like you said.

     

    I don't think that the mag-well would be a good or possibly legal place. What if you take it off?
