Best Stage performances of Special Squad in Talvi SRA 2015
Talvi SRA 2015 Photos
Special Squad attended an SRA competition (a Finnish discipline that is similar to IPSC 3gun, but with a little army reserve twist). Here’s some photos (videos will follow later).
Chinese “NSR” Free-float
I have been looking for a 15″ slim keymod freefloat(s) for my AR build(s) and I found multiple manufacturers with suitable freefloats, like BCM, Leapers, Noveske, MI, etc. but these are from not very easy to nearly impossible to acquire to Finland.
So I came across a “noveske NSR” on AliExpress.com. Thinking that maybe it is a “night shift” or “back door” model from the actual factory, maybe an airsoft rip-off, but the price was pretty good, so one was ordered.
When the float finally arrived, it seemed sturdy and pretty well finished (including the Noveske engravings). A closer look and the installation process gave away some cues for the cheaper price. Another friend of mine ordered the same float in 9 inch and said instead of nice engravings, he had some shitty laser engravings.
Demo videos of IPSC
I have though for a while to do some sort of recap or compilation from the vast amount of un-edited shooting videos. I finally managed to get myself to do it, as I’m instructing an IPSC beginners course next weekend and these kinds of demo-videos will be a good addition to the rule-books and slideshows.
Demo 1 is about different start conditions: loaded, chamber empty and unloaded (or “Option 1 through 3”)
Demo 2 has reloads with pistol, shotgun and rifle
And the final video has different “stage challenges” and one example solution for them
Ps. I’m truly sorry about the few scenes that were apparently filmed with a potato..
Practical Shooting in the Dark
Special Squad took part in SRA shooting competition which was shot in the dark with the help of weapon lights.
SRA a Finnish discipline that is similar to IPSC but with a little army reserve twist. The scoring is calculated as “combined” for Open and Standard division but both divisions are awarded separately.
SLR Sentry7 adjustable gasblock
I’ve been looking for a while for an adjustable AR15 gas block that has adjustment with “clicks” to measure the setting and also keep the adjustment without any thread-lock.
So far I have found two manufacturers with such products, SLR Rifleworks and Syrac Ordnance.
Now I finally got my hands on one, the SLR Sentry 7 Clamp On model.
Nordic Rifle Match 2014
Special squad (SS) participated in Nordic Rife Match 2014 as Range Officers and shot the match in pre-match. For us the event was 4½ days from wednesday afternoon to sunday. SS was responsible to handle stages 15 and 16 on main match.
We had two new cameras to provide better coverage of the failures events of the match, totaling in possible 5 different angles.
Freefloat for Norinco 56S
Why not? That’s the answer to your obvious question: Why?
REWAL IRONHAND 3GUN 2.-4.5.2014
Special Squad attended a three day 3gun match in Estonia, organized by Rewal Shooting Club. Both shooters were in standard 3gun division and component matches.
Unfortunately one Estonian shooter was superior and won all three component matches (although shot one of them in Open division as the tournament in question allowed shooters to compete in non-3gun division in one match) and thus won the Standard division 3gun with 300 points. Second and third had 235.39 and 235.31 points.
Special Squad got one silver medal from shotgun component match. Unfortunately the longest stage in the shotgun competition was cancelled and this might have been the reason for not getting more medals!
