Armed Eye Doc

Welcome to the forum @Mike Tucson PSA is good at making most AR-15 variants. I have purchased a bunch from them. Their large frame ARs are not always as reliable. The reason they have AGB is because they use inferior carbine recoil components and have a small gas port. A properly balanced gas system and recoil system should not need an adjustable gas block unless you shoot suppressed. There are many threads in the PSA section of the forum that go over the issues commonly observed and the fixes that are needed for them. Look there before making a decision. Not all PA10s need help to run, but we can help get in running correctly if you go that way. As to your question of rifle vs. mid-length gas system, I have used both. As long as the gas to cycle the gun balances the proper recoil system, there has been little difference in my experience. Others may other other views. I can offer no input on SS barrels. As an aside, DPMS is now owned by the same company as PSA. New 308ar rifles are likely to be the same as PA10s.

Great looking rifle!

Welcome to the forum @CWO4USCGRET. How long were you in the Coast Guard?

This guy is going to need new underwear and a new seat. That's going to leave a skid mark on both.

Uncanny resemblance.

Tom, I didn't know you had this many kids.

Good video with great points.

Toric is the correct term. It just means that it corrects astigmatism. Go in with a positive outlook for the better vision and you will adapt fine to your new vision after surgery.

I was scrolling through YouTube shorts and, imagine my surprise when this showed up unexpectedly.

If only there were a T-shirt... Seriously though, I have one of these for my phone. I just need to use it more. https://godarkbags.com/

@98Z5V, I seem to recall someone else preaching the same thing.

The SHORT Act was added into the reconciliation bill as of today. It still has to make it through the parliamentarian process and the Byrd rule.

My daily carry since the recent protests have erupted is my AR57 with 2 50 round and a 30 round mags. That is in addition to my usual go-bag. Both are designed to be enough to get me to the house.

The statists won't give up.

These girls can rock

If your foot was fast enough, you could do it anyway.

Time for a new dirt bike.

She will make the trip.

I have had most of these parts for almost 4 years. I bought some raw aluminum Diamondback lowers for about $70. I then bought all of the other parts over the next 6 months. Everything sat in my safe for about 3 years. Then, it took me until last fall to get the lower cerakoted. I finally put everything together just before Memorial Day. Here is a short video of my nephew shooting it at about 270 yards. As stated, it is a Diamondback upper, lower and handguard. I've got a 20" Shilen barrel that I bought at their swap. They said they drilled the gas port too big and marked it at $350. I have an AGB to compensate. I put a Magpul PRS stock in back to balance out the extra weight in front. It is rifle length with standard rifle buffer and Armalite spring. I got a Geissele SD-E 2 stage trigger at a close out sale that I put in there. I like the Ballistic Engineering trigger that I got from @JBMatt better though. I may change it out later. I put an Arken 4-16x50 scope on it. I like it so far. I got it sighted in and adjusted the gas block, then destroyed a few rocks at 125 yards. Then I let others shoot it.

Looks good Neal.

@Rsquared, someone has your car air freshener.
