I can only imagine what it is like to run a class with just 10rd magazines, but that shouldn't hinder someone from joining. Back when I shot a few USPS matches I had registered for Limited-10. It can be done! |

I gotta ask, how was the muzzle discipline from the students in this class? Were there any outrageous things done by certain students? I was there for the G21C malfunction, that was interesting.
SIR YES SIR!!!!!! lols.... |

ETA: The manual of arms for those weapon systems (AK,SOCOM-16, mini-14,CETME) is not as ergonomic or intuitive as an AR platform. Last edited by arfan66; 02-14-2010 at 8:21 AM.. Reason: content |

That would be crazy difficult. 3 days of a SOCOM 16 kicking your *** and dragging that weight around would SUCK!
I would think that if you had some pre-ban mags for your AR and a G-Pik, you should be up to par with everyone else.

Check with MaceWindu, I could have sworn seeing him post about training with an M1A. Gotta love honest to goodness battle rifles, they are a blast!

Then quit using the generic Wolf ammo. LOL. Costa had a couple R&D AR's and yep they weren't quite running right. He loned his one working rifle off to a classmate. A very cool move. Nice shooting with you guys. We had a great range.

Assuming the G-Pik was for a bullet button, you would not want to use pre-bans because high-cap mags in a bullet button build = illegal assault weapon.

Travis came to me and asked to have some of my crap ammo so he could see if it would jam one of his R&D weapons. I was honored to be able provide such a vital service. Yeah, a great 3 days and looking forward to seeing you guys on the range. See some of you in Carbine 2 in November? (I'll bring the Wolf) |

Why dont you guys just take the class out of state? Why are you putting up with commiefornias ridiculous gun laws? And for those that say train how you will run your set up are you really going to be running a bb in a marshal law type situation, which is the only time use of these training/tactics make sense. At least to me... I just dont get it

I didn't ask him but it appeared he had Vitiligo. I did hear Costa asking him about it. No matter, he was a really great guy from Vegas and I enjoyed joking around with him and shooting with him. If you remember he was the guy that Travis had him have an impromptu handgun draw contest against Costa. He was just as fast as Costa and even beat him once. You can see for yourself; the ninth picture on the 2nd page of this thread.

And for the love of god, don't have any preconceived notions going into a course just because of the marketing. Take the course with an unbiased attitude, and I believe you'll get more out of it. Last edited by SpeedRock; 02-18-2010 at 10:42 AM.. |

My sentiments exactly. I have not taken a Magpul class, but that is on my list of "to do" as far as training is concerned. The big name schools definitely have their attraction and for good reason, however, I hope students do not discount the "little guys." I will even go a bit further and say that shooting ability is not everything as I have outshot a friend of mine who is a good instructor and one of the "little guys." His real world experience, lessons learned in and out of class and ability to convey concepts are what makes me heed his advice. Last edited by Jim_KT; 02-18-2010 at 10:21 AM.. |

WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. And again WRONG. TRAINING is NOT EXEMPTED. COMPETITION IS NOT TRAINING. RTFL!!!! Someone will get busted on this. People are making assumptions, and you know what they say about ***-umptions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The "competiton exemption" is very murky, but clearly a "shoot" or "training" doesn't qualify - gotta be formal competition by a recognized entity (say, a CRPA or NRA match, IPSC, something like that - not the lower Hayward Roller Derby League Memorial Tin-Can Shoot.) And most all 'training' is organized by the training and there's no real 'sponsor'. Combine that with the lack of a 'match' and it's going downhill fast. IN ADDITION THE "COMPETITION EXEMPTION" ONLY REFERS TO AWs AND DOES NOT ALLOW IMPORTATION OF HICAP MAGS. Out-of-staters coming directly to/from a legitimate, scheduled sanctioned match with no overnight stays or side shopping trips or visit to relatives might make it. It's certainly defendable, but I'd bet one bad traffic stop could put them in a world of hurt including bail and lawyer costs (and he may well not know about CGF). "Training" DOES NOT COUNT. Even if it's cops. Remember, 12280(m) uses the phrase "all of the following". Missing one item makes it invalid. I believe several trainers may well be way too loosey-goosey and coming into CA with unreg'd AWs. They think they're protected because they're training cops. And probably some of the cops there have unreg'd AWs. ALSO THE ABOVE IS JUST FOR Calif-defined AWs. SBRs/MGs/SBSes/can laws in CA are even more strict. I'd bet many if not most trainers do not have any CA paperwork for any of these devices.
