It Seems I Have Struck a Nerve!

I was curious to get other opinions and feedback on how long it should take to get USPSA scores posted to the club website after a match.  Since yesterday I have 26 posts and 240 views.  Now, I kind of wish that the tread will die!  But either way, it is a healthy discussion and we get to find out how other clubs are handling it. 

On a side note, one club said that they did post scores the same day with the only catch being that all of the props had to be put away before anything gets posted.  A pretty good idea.  We have never had that problem at our local club, but we have never had the scores posted on the same day either.

Colt, Magpul Partner On Fully-Accessorized Rifle

The Colt LE6920MP Awarded as Prizes at the 2011 3-Gun Nation Championship

The Colt LE6920MP takes one of Colt's most popular rifles and outfits it with accessories from Magpul.
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. - Colt Defense LLC, one of the world's leading designers, developers, and manufacturers of rifles and carbines, will bring to market the LE6920MP, a rifle standard equipped with many of Magpul's most popular firearm accessories. Available this month, this version of Colt's top selling LE6920 will be available in a variety of color combinations complete with multiple Magpul accessories.
This rifle is the first product Colt Defense and Magpul have developed together. "By combining Colt's quality firearm with Magpul's popular accessories and offering them together in one standard product we are giving customers an option to save time and money," said David Ridley, Vice President, Colt Defense LLC. "Magpul has earned its reputation for developing and manufacturing some of the most innovative firearm accessories available, and by making those accessories available as standard equipment on the new Colt LE6920MP we feel confident this firearm will be one of the highest quality products available."
At the base of this new AR platform rifle is Colt's popular 6920 Law Enforcement Carbine, proven to be effectively mobile during tactical deployment and traditional patrol. With a fully retracted buttstock, the carbine measures only 30.5 inches and weighs in at only 6.8 pounds. Tried and true, this carbine boasts proven advantages like a safe, semi-automatic rate of fire for potent firepower capability and speed of target acquisition.
The advantage of the LE6920MP is the addition of Magpul's American-made accessories as standard equipment. The Magpul Original Equipment (MOE) additions are cost effective products engineered to enhance weapon performance and usability. "The Colt name has been synonymous with quality, reliability and pride in craftsmanship for decades," says Drake Clark Senior Director of OEM sales, Magpul Inds. Corp, "The integration of Magpul's industry leading designs into Colt's top quality AR-15s brings tremendous value to the customer."
Magpul accessories on the new Colt LE6920MP platform include the MOE Vertical Grip (MVG), MOE Hand Guard, Generation 2 Rear Back-Up Sight (MBUS), MOE-K Hand Grip, MOE Trigger Guard, MOE Carbine Stock and two durable 30-round Magpul Polymer Magazines (PMAG).
The Magpul MOE Vertical Grip (MVG), which is attached to the mid-length MOE Hand Guard and features an ergonomic design, is optimized for use with the thumb break shooting method. The LE6920MP is the only rifle on the market that offers the MVG as standard equipment.
The Generation 2 Magpul Rear Back-Up Sight (MBUS) is a spring-loaded flip-up sight that stows to just .51 inches above the rail and can be folded with either aperture in position. The MOE-K Hand Grip, with a compact design and a steeper, more vertical grip angle allows for improved comfort and control. Paired with the MOE-K grip is the polymer MOE Trigger Guard that has rounded edges and features a shallow "V" shape, beneficial for shooters wearing gloves in tactical or cold weather operations.
Also issued on the rifle is the MOE Carbine Stock, which has a streamlined A-frame profile. An extra-power lock mechanism with premium chrome-silicon springs helps to prevent auto-collapse failure and resists spring relaxation to deter auto-collapse failure. The rubber butt-pad offers prevention from shoulder slippage, even while wearing modular gear or body armor.
All models also come with two durable 30-round Magpul Polymer Magazines (PMAG) which have become the industry standard for reliable, impact resistant and resilient rifle-compatible magazines.
In addition to the black model, LE6920MP-B, other models being offered are the LE6920MP-FDE rifle, which features Magpul parts in flat dark earth; the LE6920MP-O including Magpul parts in olive drab; and the LE6920MPG-B with green anodized receivers and Magpul parts in black. Excluding the LE6920MPG-B, these rifles are also available with a bullet button for California compliance.
Both companies are excited to announce this partnership and bring these superior firearms to market. "Combining our products and giving shooters a quality rifle complete with accessories straight out of the box is something we're excited to offer shooters," said Ridley, "It is likely that this will not be the last product to come from this partnership."

This is Too Funny Not to Share!

Added Weight to a Rifle

I recently read a popular forum where somone had a question about Noveke's K9 attachment.  The attachment bolts on and is used primarily for barricade support.  Anyway, one particular person said that it added too much weight?  Really, too much weight, this person makes it sound like they are hanging a cinder block from the end of their rifle.  Really?  Really!  Too much weight, HA! 

I don't know about anyone else, but once that buzzer goes off I don't notice weight.  I can tell the difference between two rifles before the buzzer and after the buzzer....but in-between, sorry. 

Enough said.  Too much weight, GEEZ!

Holiday Savings

There were some great deals to be had this past weekend if you like to shoot and reload your own ammo! FNH had 25% off, Midwayusa had a week long discount program, as well as Weidners, GG&G, and the big box retailers.

I did take advantage of Dick's Sporting Goods buy one get one 50% off ammo sale! They were out of the shells I really wanted, but I did pick up a couple of cases for practice and local matches.
