I'd stay away from loctite and similar compounds, if you try and take it apart it may take some aluminum with it. I'd go to the local hardware store and get some there in the plumbing dept.

Pete has a good point and it would be easy to score, two holes in a target box equals a minus 10.

If thats the case then they should be charged a point for stupidity, the other shooter that got a nine didn't put a second shot on their target, so they get penalized for not shooting another shot!

Dan, if your useing more wraps to get a seal then that tells me that the aluminum has compressed and the threads are oversized. there's not much more you can do ,but be prepared to tear it down because teflon tape will come off in very tiny hairs and will travel downstream and find the first...

teflon tape isn't a good thread sealant, get a tube of pipe dope, it will stay in the threads and seal alot better. the npt thread is a tapered thread and should just about seal on its own but the pipe dope which you can use most types will stay in the threads and should make a gas tight seal Fred B

Nortatoga, I would like to hear more on this rimfire benchrest match. We have a range in Salem and we hold rimfire matches on wed nights and IR 50/50 matches on some sundays and there are several ranges in syracuse that have numerous shooters also that would like to hear more.

If it's a postal match why not let everyone shoot and send in scores

Here's some pics

your best bet is to go to a match and watch the guys shoot. and if you see something you can talk to the guys after and they can explain why they do different things. you can pick up alot more there than trying to imagine what there talking about here

I thought I read somewhere it was the same as an IR50/50 target

Bill, I want to thank you for your decision and support you. It's hard to be nice but some people take advantage. precidents have set and should justify actions and i'm sure the majority of members will be happy for the decisions. Fred B
