    Anyone else shoot 3 Gun?

    We've got a bit of a privateer 3 gun circuit in my area, now. After years of running matches myself at my home range, a couple other clubs have started running them, too. At the matches this year we're looking at double the number of shooters we've had in the past. They're not big matches compared to those in the US, but a decent turn out for being in the butt end of nowhere.

    We've even graduated this year to having divisions modeled on the USPSA Multi-Gun rules. I'm going to take a stab at Heavy Metal at the match in Fort St. John, BC, next week.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I've shot a few 3 gun matches at our local club.
    I used my custom race gun ( I customized) and my 97 Winchester shotgun and my mini 14, using my 90 rd drum after my mandatory mag change for the rest of the run.
    Lots of fun.

    We used to do them out here in Victoria before the laws changed. Then the FNs and M14s stopped coming out so the matches died off. They still do them now but more with the cowboy action shooters.

    Bah, my 1911 crapped out. The firing pin is jamming in it's channel. No Heavy Metal for me tomorrow.

    Back to my Glock and AR, I guess.

    Take a small drift and tap it out from the front. Then turn down the biggest part by either lathe or just your drill press. Just a tiny bit...then find out why it flared in the first place. That'll give you the 1911 back...

    Looks like fun! That's something (along with the Cowboy matches) I'd like to try some day.

    Perhaps you should look into trying to organize something at your local range? They can be interesting.

    Sadly my local range is only interested in trap or bullseye. It seems like very few know (or care) that other disciplines exist and aren't interested in even hearing about them.

    Already did that once, Jim.

    Managed to get everything free and clear by polishing the firing pin up. When I attempted to disassemble it last night, I had to use a punch to get it to move far enough forward to remove the retaining plate. And then drive it out from the breech side to remove it. It's going back to the importer/dealer on Monday.
