I shoot the AR now. I have a real nice shooting Bushaster XM-15 with all the match condition goodies. I started out long ago with a match grade Garand then went to the M-14. Anybody else? Feel free to jump in here. BTW, I'm double Distinguished. So, I can shoot the long guns too! R, Bullseye

Welcome wlambert. Sounds like you're getting off to a fine start with Conventional Pistol. I love the 3 gun. I shoot a Model 41 for the Rimfire, a 1911 Wad gun for Centerfire, and a 1911 for .45. All three use red dot scopes, my eyes are getting old and not focusing as well as they used to when I wa...

The "penny" test works well for pistol too.

How to position a Mark III pistol magazine By Bullseye The newer Mark III series pistol has the magazine release on the grip frame just like a Ruger 22/45 series pistol. This button holds the magazine securely in place by means of a dimple located on the right side of the magazine body and not by th...

DWS,

If you mean the Mark III trigger with the pre-travel screw built into it; then no, it's not a separate item. You may be able to call Volquartsen and talk Nick into giving you one as a separate item, and possibly pitch it to him that that would be a hot item to sell individually.

I used to use the same type of low-tech practice technique when I first started shooting. It works really well for strengthening the arm muscles and establishing a solid follow-through. It also helps to add an aiming point onto the index card for visual reference. I put a small dot - approximate dia...

Don't worry there's a glitch in the software. It allows newly registered users to post a message before logging in. No big deal, it's happened to almost everyone so far.

You're very welcome, and welcome aboard too! Having a solid contingency plan is a good thing, a little thing I learned well from my past military career. I'm just very pleased that everything is working out for you with the Mark II.org forum. I was getting a little nervous late last night. That is s...

The Clark trigger doesn't come with that feature. Marvel triggers were the only ones that came with a pre-travel screw. Although, VQ is now offering one installed on the Mark III triggers in their new Mark III trigger upgrade kit. The kit is pretty expensive for what you really need to get a great t...

Bullseye , Thanks for the new site ! I'm not a conventional pistol shooter yet but am working towards that end . I hope to be in my first 22 league this winter . In regaurds to the 45 , could a person buy or have built a gun that would pass for a hardball gun , yet change a spring and be succsessfu...

The Clark just takes a little minor fitting, it's not bad. Good idea to go with the sear first. See what kind of trigger pull that gives you and then decide if you need more. I'd recommend adding in a prt-travel screw into your factory trigger, it'll take a whole bunch of that travel out of the pull...
