You DO realize that there are more modified Macs out there than Lage guns, don't you? People have been Slo-fire modifying these guns since 1999, which of course was Lage's reason for making his uppers. A ready market for those incapable of doing it themselves.
Only recently have I seen more Lage uppers at the Creek matches than the old slofire conversions... and mostly with all new people. People don't seem willing to part with the old Slo-fire guns for some reason.
The reason you see so many slow fire guns at Knob Creek, is because that particular match is set up for nothing but slow fire guns. Here in Florida, we have multiple stages set up at variable distances, to accomodate a variety of many different subguns. For instance, we have a shoot house or blind shoot, which is set up for fast paced CQB, which naturaly lends itself to the faster running guns. We also have the old town which is close and fased paced as well. In addition, we allow the use of the selector, which is vurtualy unheard of at any other subgun matches through out the country. To put it in simple terms, our sport has not progressed past the old slow running guns, that's why we see nothing but old slow running guns at subgun matches, throughout the country today. We here in Florida have moved past that mind set, and we set our stages up for multiple styles of subguns that run at more that one cyclic rate. If the matches throughout the country would adopt this same mind set, we would probably begin to see more than one or two differnt style subguns in these matches. And we would most likely begin to move forward, Instead of ultimate stagnation of a sport dominated by operators, who lack the ability to run anything faster than the old Stengun or Uzi.
