MATCH REPORT

Zak,

As always, good write-up and good photos.

Looks like a fun match.

Is that a tactical Hawaiian shirt with 5.11 short shorts? :D

[Zak Smith]

I assure you those are not tactical shorts of any kind. :uhoh:

[Hoser]

The shirt is cool. But the shorts and white legs added in the equasion hurt me and make me cry like a school girl.

But thats a Remington 1100 user for you...

[Zak Smith]

Team Prozac.

[Hoser]

Now it makes sense.

They should stop breaking the Lithium in half and start taking the whole pill. But then they might not be as much fun...

[Fly320s]

Zak,

That AR you're shooting over the barricade... is that a Defensive Edge rifle or do you just have PRI handguards on it?

[Zak Smith]

My rifle setup was mixed up a little bit compared to my normal gear due to last-minute changes. Since they were nice enough to give me a sponsor slot, I shot my Cavalry Arms MKII lower, the same setup I started using at the 2005 Tiger Valley 3-Gun Match (Trooper Class) and the 2005 MGM Ironman (Trooper Class). Due to a last minute barrel issue with my normal 3-Gun upper, fellow 3Gunner Jimmy Holdsworth loaned me his 18-inch upper, which uses a DPMS barrel inside the PRI float tube, and a Miculek brake. I threw on one of my TA11 ACOGs and called it good.

[Fly320s]

Gotcha.

[dadman]

In photo #1, that's a large looking meat tenderizer on the muzzle end.
How do the Cavalry Arms lowers hold up to the competitions and long term use? I've got one, but it hasn't been used a whole lot.
Thanks for the good photos and articles. Keep them coming.

[Zak Smith]

I think that device is the KAC rebar cutter. It goes over an A2 FH. He removed it because it screwed up the zero (no surprise there).

The Cavalry Arms polymer lowers should last indefinitely- I don't know of one failing.

[jlbraun]

Anyone running AKs? (Besides the Saiga, I mean)

[Zak Smith]

I don't remember seeing any at RM3G-Raton.

At local matches, you'll see one or two occaisonally.

[Justin]

Man. Bummed that I missed it this year, but I was nowhere near prepared to shoot that match.

[lamazza]

Now that looks like alot of fun. Thx for the report

[jrhines]

...but I was nowhere near prepared to shoot that match. As it turned out, neither was I. :D

Reminder-- 2008's match is coming up in a few months-- Get registered ASAP! I still believe the RM3G Nationals is the best large 3-Gun match.

Here's some video Russell (SinistralRifleman) made from last year.
