Shared on Wed, 02/27/2008 - 22:39Spring draws near and another season of action shooting is around the corner! My thoughts are turning to getting back to the ol training cycle.. which would be nice if I wasn't so freakin swamped with overdo orders and the recent / pending shop re-modeling. The busy season has really snuck up on me this year and I am more behind than evar. Fuck. Very soon I will have to cut the nightly COD4 rampage in order to compensate :(
Anyways, figured I'd share a couple pics of the tools I have assembled for the '08 season. These are the guns I will be shooting in IMGA Scoped Tactical Division, Trooper Class (if I shoot any), and probably a few Outlaw 3-Gun matches this year. I had originally built the rifle for Trooper at the '08 MGM Ironman, but I don;t know if I'll make it this year either, so I took the MRD off to be Scoped Tactical legal (normally a double optic setup is legal only in Open Class).
I think I'm going to duracoat them all coyote tan when it gets warm enough..
(EDIT: zomg the forced photo resize in this blog makes these pics look crappy! oh well, right click them to view the original if u want to see a cleaner image)
Shotgun:
Remington 1100 Tac4 12ga, pretty much stock 22" rem-choke barrel, +4 mag tube extension, lengthend forcing cone, EZ Loader, green HiViz fiber optic, extended charging handle, 3-gun gear's excellent velcro sidesaddles and slidelock 2 pack. 23 rounds onboard fully loaded, woot!
Rifle:
Upper - VLTOR MUR billet receiver with dust cover and brass deflector only, no forward assist. Barrel is a custom job: Mike Rock 5R stainless, 16" midlength gas, hand-lapped 1:7 twist w/ Wylde chamber, lined with electroless nickel silicon carbide, barrel was then turned down to minimum safe diameter and CNC helical wrapped with carbon fiber by Advanced Barrel Systems. Insanely stiff and accurate for it's weight. Handguard is JP's excellent Vtac free float. Gas block is a LaRue lo-pro. Bolt carrier: JP LMOS Low Mass Operating System black chromed stainless roller burnished carrier. Bolt: standard LMT .milspec shot-peened and MPI proofed. Muzzle device: Primary Weapon Systems FSC556 flash suppressing brake. Optic: Trijicon ACOG TA-11 w/ Progressive Machine flip cover in LaRue 4XDOS mount. Also put an extended ambi latch on the charging handle.
Lower - Cavalry Arms CAV-15 MKII polymer. Did a bit of customization on it, shortened the stock about an inch off the length of pull and re-profiled the grip a bit. Trigger group is the JP single stage w/ low mass hammer. Arredondo oversized mag release button, Norgon Ambi mag release, Ambi selector, Wilson Combat extended bolt release, Action spring is Brownells chrome silicon carbine spring and the buffer is 2.8 oz. I am using Magpul's PMAGs with this rifle, the best AR magazine on the planet.
Pistol:
Glock G34 9mm. I reduced the grip and re-profiled it somewhat, undercut the triggerguard and built a custom beavertail using Acraglas. Vanek trigger system, otherwise stock internals. JP aluminum magwell on the frame. HiViz tactical red fiber optic front sight, factory rear sight. I am using factory G17 mags with Arredondo +5 baseplates.
ok that's it for today, time for some grub and then teh CODz!
