This afternoon I ran my E4 in a local 3-gun match.  I was a llittle worried the day before because I needed to sight in a new optic (Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x) and discovered a problem using PMC ammo and the Brass Buster.  The PMC seemed to have hard primers and I had multiple light strikes which would not touch off the round.  When the PMC was working the Brass Buster sometimes directed the empty casings back into the ejection port which caused a jam.  I just decided not to use the Brass Buster for the match.

Fast Forward to today.  I decided to use steel cased Hornidy practice ammo as I have never had a light primer strike problem and my E4 actually loves this ammo.  Funny because Hornidy hasn't learned from Wolf who went from lacquering the casings to using a polymer coating.  The Hornidy is heavilly lacquered but my E4 loves it anyway.  It is also a good thing that I brought the Brass Buster with me just in case as one of the stages required you to shoot weak side on some 200 yard steel swingers.

My E4 functioned flawlessly with zero problems of any kind and my times were much faster then the last time I shot the match with my 10.5" AR.  I atribute the faster times to zero muzzle rise with the Battle Comp I installed, lighter recoil, & better balance then my AR's.  All in all I was extreemely happy with the E4's performance.  The other two guns I used were a 14" Remy 870 shotgun with an Insight Technologies MRDS optic and an FN45 Tactical with a Trijicon Dual Illumination RMR optic.  

I will post pictures of the guns when I take some on Monday,

Nice.



Which do you like more your Insight MRDS or your Trijicon Dual RMR?

I would have to say the Trijicon RMR with the 7moa Dual Illum over the Insight.  I already had the Insight and even though it is very rugged with a very bright self regulating 8moa dot it sits too high on the FN45 Tactical.  That is why it now lives on my shotgun.  I coughed up the cash to buy the RMR because the clarity and crispness of the Dual Illumination dot on RMR is spectacular.  The dual illumination RMR actually costs less then the Insight.  Mounted on the pistol the dot co-witnesses with the open sights and sits high enough to clear my suppressor ( I did not use the suppressor in the match).

Fury:

Red triangle 1-4 as it was the only one my local shop had.  I would prefer the green or even the amber.  I had a Burris XTR-14 on it first which was total crap.  The first day I had it after about 150 rounds I noticed some oil and debree inside behind the ocular lense.  Since I live an hour away from the factory I drove down and left it to be repaired.  I got it back supposidly fixed and evcen though it looked just fine, when I tried to sight it in it would not hold zero.  It was then that I noticed it rattled like a "baby's rattle" and had a bunch of oil smeared on the inside of the ocular lense again.  This time a large piece broke loose and was rattling around.  It was hard to tell but it looked like a washer of some sort.  I had to drive down again to leave it with them and go back a week later when they had a brand new one to swapp it out.  I immediately went to my local shop and since this one was new in the box, the shop let me trade it (no cash out of pocket) for the Accupoint.

The Accupoint ROCKS.

Is that a Lancer mag in there?

(yes, he's going to ask...) Does it drop free?

Yes it is a Lancer L5a which works great but then again my E4 likes any and all AR15 mags.  I like the fact that it has metal feed lips unlike Pmags but I still have 10 times as many Pmags then I do Lancers, HK, Cproducts or any others.  I haven't found any mags that just drop free under their own weight but with the bullpup design and the way you have to push the mag release, I don't see any advantage to drop free mags.  Since you have to reach up with your off hand to push the button I just strip the empty mag when reaching down for a fresh mag.  You cannot active the mag release with your trigger finger like you can with an AR so I don't see any advantages to a drop free system.

JMHO,

Do your neighbors think your crazy for setting all your guns out on your step like that?

I live on a Golf Course so the only people that will notice are the duffers and they are to busy tracking their golf balls.  I have wondered if a cop will show up on my doorstep because some buisy body called them.

Them are some nice guns for a 3-gun match you go there Dan! I really like the 45. Those FN pistols are pretty expensive so I have been told. I hope to get me a 45 someday, but I want mine to be a 1911...

What kind of stock is on that shotgun. AR-15 stock conversion?

WCSO124:

The stock is an LMT/SOPMOD for AR15's.  I sits on a buffer extension made by Mesa Tactical which is not hollow but rather filled with a bydraulic buffer mechanism made to reduce recoil on shotguns.  Shooting 3" magnum slugs feels pretty much in the recoil department like the MSAR using crappy under powered Wolf ammo...........................Well maybe not quite that mild, but mild none the less.
