OK, it's about time that I learn something about rifles...
Long time IPSC shooter who is finally trying (and loving) 3-gun competition. Most of my google search questions kept referring me to this great, CO-based site. Good work guys!
I really appreciate the advice that Hoser, Zak, Eerw, and many others routinely post as it makes the learning curve so much easier.

AR setup: MSTN 18", std ACE stock, Benny Hill's rolling thunder comp, JP trigger, TA11, Jpoint on a burkett mount secondary, experimenting with lighter carrier (Progressive Machine). Other than tweaking/tuning, I need to get more long-range work in.

Welcome KK.

Hope to see you and the Rabbit at a Pueblo rifle match soon.

I promise I will show up, hopefully next month as that's exactly the course of fire that I need work on. It may be ugly but what the heck? I just need to get RogerRabbit to put a scope on one of his .223s. I doubt he'll want to use his .17 although it's one cool tool.

So I tried that high zoot Ti bolt carrier (& JP's Leitner-Wise bolt). Not enough energy on the return to strip rounds. So, I've got a Wolff Xtra power spring on order. I'll probably try that with JP's low mass buffer just to throw more variables into the mix. Always trying to squeeze a little more performance out. That's the problem with the Open Weenies...
See you soon, Hoser.

I appreciate the warm welcome. I think the CO shooting community is one of the best that I've been associated with -- good folks well represented on this forum.

Welcome, and let some of us hunters know if you have any large varmits you would like to eliminate from your yard up there in Evergreen around the Oct & Nov timeframe (oh yeah and coyotes too).

Hey Tim,
I have the "large varmits" in the yard pretty much every other day. Especially this winter and always in Oct/Nov. The problem is the issue of houses a bit too close. In fact, we have a pair of coyotes that I'm trying to figure out how to eradicate (without getting the HOA posse at my doorstep). My idea of sneaking out in a ghillie suit with a suppressed AR early in the AM with some stinky beef doesn't seem to pass muster with my wife. Instead I've been wacking them with an airsoft -- how tame is that?
