Service CQB @ Borden 19 Sep (warning, pic intensive!)

Magazine count at CQB Borden

Just out for curiousity...

How many pistol mags and how many carbine rifle mags did each participant use at Borden? I know the mag count changes depending on how you shoot (2,2, mag change, 2 or 2,2,1, mag change, 1).

Just wondering.

Thanks in advance for the info!
 
Never used more than 5 rifle mags and never more than 2 pistol mags. That said, I'd recommend bringing more incase you get a faulty mag problem mid match. That way, after your stage is over and you're reloading you can pitch the problem mag and use a good one next stage (if allowed in the rules).

I once slapped in an extra spare magazine during the match and was warned and enlightened, I shall now pass those lessons learned!


Hungry here: Cancer, when the rules state 2 x 5 rd mags, that's all you are allowed to have. You must recover from that situation (good, bad or indifferent). Remember the title "Service CQB"; that means "Service/Duty" Context... so you have to clear whatever jams/stoppages you encounter and shoot with THOSE 10 rounds in 2 mags you brought to the line with you. In Service Rifle matches, you can be disqualified for using spare loaded (with 5 rds) magazines if you are caught. No problems with this 'misunderstanding' but know that no spare mags are allowed, this is a match and not real world combat shooting preparation. ;)

No, there is no 'holster' qualification required for this match; Black Badge or IDPA.

Understand that at no time during the match is your pistol chambered with a round while it is in the holster! Safer that way.

Wow that looks like alot of fun. So far I have read there was one Red Rifle there, in a sea of black & green beauties!

I am just getting into the shooting hobby/sport, and this is right up my (and my brothers) alley.

I doubt either of us will have a black or green service rifle in the near future, so it is encouraging to hear some show up to take part with the more "affordable" service rifles.

No M14's at this match by the look of it, but has anyone used them before in your events Hungry? My brother has both the Norinco M14 and an SKS, and I hope to buy one of each soon.
 
an sks was used at the last match and so was a cz 858 and a ruger 10/22 (though the 10/22 was only for honours) the only prob i can see with the m-14 is the cost of ammo and maybe the time it takes to get back on target.

Sounds like a worthy challenge to me!
 
SKS is hard to keep up with the reloads, although I have thought of a way to make it much faster ;) JUST in case anyone wants to ask.... :D


M14 will have 2 issues. Recoil and mags changes.
AR15 mags go straight into the mag well. M14, you need to tip in. So, unless you are proficient with the mags, you will have some time lost.

(in real life, 2 hits from an M14 in the magpie would probably do WAY more damage than a .223 with 5 hits in the V-bull) ;) Just sayin...

fast reloading the sks is a b!tch...

when the course of fire calls for 4 shots then a reload... the AR's have 6 rounds ready to go.. the sks cant be topped up..

you have to wait til the last shot is fired to reload..this puts you into a reload situation while everyone else is shooting.. making it very tough to keep up..

you also have to load 5 rounds only per stripper clip.. (holy cr@p, I just got a great idea... i'm gonna try it out at my club tomorrow)..

OK Plink, give up your secret.. i wanna see if it's the same as the one I just thought up... PM me if you wanna keep it classified:D

you're absolutely right Plink!

So, with an SKS using 123 grain bullets, compared to an AR platform using 55 or 62 gr bullets, one 7.62 bullet is the same as two .223 bullets..
so, if my logic is correct I actually scored 594 out of a possible 550.

This is how Plink justifies his scores he remembers from his days at battalion with an FN :p

Well, even in those days I could shoot better than that guy with the SKS ;)... LOL


I was thinking that for the SKS you just pre load all your stripper clips with the required 4 or 5 rounds. Then when you need to reload you just slap in that clip and off you go. I think you were using the full 10 round stripper clips, right?
I'm sure you have some empty clips around, just put whatever load out you need for that particular match on a clip and stuff it in the top. Arguably, loading that way will make it as fast as an AR mag change if you practice it. Only problem of course is the change after shooting two exposures when you would be left with one round.
