    Re: 3 Gun Match Rifles: What do you shoot? . . . . . . What's in your Multi-Gun Rifl

    What rifle do you shoot for 3 gun? AR

    did you build it or buy ready made? Built it.

    What did you add to it and why? Nothing really, yet.

    Lower Receiver? Old Olympic I had laying around from the AWB days.

    Upper Receiver? Some no-name flattop I found in a box of parts.

    trigger? Turrible JARD single stage 2#(ish) non-adjustable I found in a box of parts.

    Safety? Stock.

    sighting systems? Old Burris 1-4x shotgun scope in an AR-P.E.P.R. mount

    barrel? DPMS Heavy 18" w/rifle length gas.

    Muzzkle device? Jerry Miculek comp.

    Rail system? MI SS-Series 15" FF Handguard

    Stock? CavArms A1 rifle buttstock

    Other gizmos? That's it for the moment. I'm sure it'll be undergoing a lot of improvements one of these days, especially in optics and trigger.

    Re: 3 Gun Match Rifles: What do you shoot? . . . . . . What's in your Multi-Gun Rifl

    Bought or built it? Put it together myself

    Lower receiver- pof 416 billet ambi

    Fire control group- jp enterprises with yellow spring. (it's the perfect single stage competition trigger)

    Selector - jp net adjustable ambi (adjustable tension so it feels just right as you move between safe-fire-safe)

    Stock/tube - civi spec tube with magpie acs (because I won it at the aac silencer shoot in GA- it's not to heavy, has great cheek weld & locks up solid)

    Buffer- spikes st2

    Moe grip

    Upper receiver - unknown mfr w/ f.a and m4 cuts

    Bolt carrier group - old ar-15 one laying around

    Barrel - white ok 18" spr profile mid length gas system (I wanted an accurate barrel for the long shots without too much weight)

    muzzle device-MSTN quiet comp. It ain't quiet but in our testing is measurably tightened groups at 100 yards compared to bare muzzles and several flash hiders.

    Sling -
    1. Tactical sling - various single or 3 point slings
    2. Shooting - my old m60 sling from my days in the us army.

    Rail/forearm- Clark custom carbon fiber free float tube w/ aluminum barrel nut. (I wanted to put weight in the barrel and take it out of the rest of the rifle)

    Sighting systems- acog on a larue mount with dueck defense rts offset sights (the acog is for the 40+ yard shots. The rts sights are for everything else. If the acog fails I can use the rts sights out to 300+ -assuming I can see that far)

    Magazines -
    1. pMags
    2. surefire 60 rd - because it's cool and all the pimps have them on their 3 gun match rifles even though the stages don't require 20 rss and they require one magazine Change
    3. 40rd magazines - C products, cmmg and a few old pre- ban mags with knights and magpul followers and new springs.
    4. various usgi 30 rd mags with magpul followers
    5. Surefire 100 rd magazine- pimp. Seriously . . . because I have one

    Miscellaneous -
    1. I added a magpul rail section to the top center of the rail with jb weld and a bolt to mount the front rts sight.
    2. Magpul bad lever- helps with end of stage weapons clearing.
    3. Norton ambi catch - because I could and sone obscure stage may require left handed reloads, did I say because pimps have them?

    Re: 3 Gun Match Rifles: What do you shoot? . . . . . . What's in your Multi-Gun Rifl

    What do I want to try?
    Optics - cqb 1-8x or 4-16x long range scope

    I wanted to shoot a suppressor, but major matches ban muzzles devices greater than 1 inch in diameter

    AR_Billet_1.jpg


    Old picture, sorry.

    Billet upper/lower. Gissele Super 3-Gun trigger. Magpul MOE grip. YHM "Jarrett" forend (soon to be replaced with a Lancer carbon fiber, same configuration). Noveske mid-weight, mid-length gas 18" barrel (taper removed, fluted, titanium nitride coated). JP stainless/heavy bolt carrier group, titanium nitride coated. BCM Gunfighter charging handle. ACE skeleton stock. Endine buffer. Tubbs buffer spring. Z6i/BRT in a LaRue SPR-E mount. Insight RDS in a Burkett mount. F2 compensator (because, hell, they are the best on the market).

    Fast, accurate, reliable, does everything fairly well. Not as fast as a short gun in close but more stable overall, not as sluggish as a long gun but a bit less velocity.

    My previous three-gun rifle had a Sabre 18" fluted barrel, and the one before that was a Oly Ultramatch cut back to 18". Both shot well, but the Noveske is simply in another class. I liked it enough to pick up another Noveske for a 10.5" suppressed/full auto build (which also shoots great).

    No need to go this crazy, of course. I build a lot of guns, and this one is all top-shelf parts...only built a few to match it, but I've built a lot that are...less expensive, but not that much less performance-wise :)

    Dang love the arsenal in that last pic. I am thinking about getting into 3 gun as well so ill be following this thread closely. I currently have a Carbon 15 with an Eotech, a taurus pt-1911 all stock, and a maverick 88 with adjustable stock and pistol grip and ghost ring sights.

    While not optimum, you would probably do better than most in Limited with that setup. Reliablity is king!

    Re: 3 Gun Match Rifles: What do you shoot? . . . . . . What's in your Multi-Gun Rifl

    That is my old rig...the new hotness is in my previous post :)

    That one is a Dreadnaught Industries upper and lower, Sabre 18" mid length gas fluted stainless 1/8 with a F2 comp (accept no inferior comps; F2 or...well, the Rolling Thunder is just about as good but half again as heavy :p ), titanium carrier, vintage M16 bolt, PRI adjustable gas system, Endine buffer, Tubbs spring, McCormick flat trigger, custom extended mag release, Badger tac latch on a DPMS steel charging handle, and an ACE stock. The scope mount is a LaRue (of course), the Burkett mount holds a Pride Fowler and the scope looks like a Meopta R1 (if memory serves; that was my gear about three years ago). I run a Swarovski Z6i BRT and a Insight RDS on my main Open gun these days.

    The pistol is a Bedell shorty in 9mm. Dan Bedell is one of a handful of smiths that I trust; Benny is (of course) one of the (very few) others :D

    The shotgun is a Dreadnaught Industries; short gas system, ported barrel, FH compensator, side folding stock, PowerCustom lockwork, modified Krebs safety, Insight RDS dot, JT mag guide, extended mag release, cut back to 18.1 and fitted with choke tubes.

    Re: 3 Gun Match Rifles: What do you shoot? . . . . . . What's in your Multi-Gun Rifl

    Yes. In almost every competition, a magazine-fed shotgun puts you in Open. I run the same rifle (with the microdot taped over) in Limited/Scope, a similar rifle with a carry handle bolted on (and a ARMS folding A-frame front sight, .090 Sightlink front sight) in Tac/Irons. Modified REPR 18" in Heavy Metal.

    My "old tech" shotgun is a Winchester SX2 with oversized release button, welded lifter, and 3GunGear side saddle/Plus2 shell holders. My iron sight gun is a Triangle Shooting Sports 6" STI (Benny makes FANTASTIC 6" guns; I can't recommend them highly enough).

    Re: 3 Gun Match Rifles: What do you shoot? . . . . . . What's in your Multi-Gun Rifl

    Finally got around to taking some more recent (if still crappy) pictures of my various 3-Gun assortment party packs.

    Open: Dreadnaught .223, Dreadnaught Saiga, Bedell 9mm. The AR forend is Lancer's latest carbon fiber creation...very slick.

    3Gunheap_Open_Oct11.jpg


    Tac/Scope: Dreadnaught .223, SX2 with Briley mods, TSS 40

    3Gunheap_TacScope_Oct11.jpg


    Tac/Iron: Dreadnaught .223, SX2, TSS 9mm

    3Gunheap_TacIron_Oct11.jpg


    Heavy/Scope: LWRC REPR/Dreadnaught mods, SX2, Dreadnaught single stack (for matches that require a pump, then a 22" 870P/ghost ring; double stack .45 gets the STI Tactical)

    3Gunheap_HeavyScope_Oct11.jpg




    Fun.

    I added a new scope to my rifle. Picked up a 1-8 CQBSS.

    Re: 3 Gun Match Rifles: What do you shoot? . . . . . . What's in your Multi-Gun Rifl

    I really like the ACOG. the Binden Aiing Concept (BAC) doesn't work for me so I prefer the Dueck Defense RTS sights for close in wprk or an Affset RMR red dot.

    The ACOG is compact and it works for as far out as you can see it!
