You didn't try to reprogram it? It looks like you could do a better job than the Chinese.

It's even peeing.

I'll let y'all find it on your own.

Welcome to the forum from Texas and thank you for your service.

Most of us have fat fingers as well. But a measurement of your actual receiver extension is needed. Some manufacturers, even well known ones, think that getting close is good enough.

That cancer is spread through the school system. That is why they fight so hard to get kids in there early and would like to do away with home schooling first and then likely private schools. There is not enough control for their liking.

At the very least, he will need a few dozen cactus spines pulled out.?

I also believe that a 16-18 inch barrel is the most you will need in your situation. I have a stock Rock River LAR8 (308) with a 16 inch barrel. It has nothing special but their match trigger (not that special). I was routinely hitting steel at 650 yards with it last fall. I can hit 300 yards while standing without using a rest most of the time. I purchased a 7.62X39 AR kit from Moriarti a couple of years ago. I had no issues with them at the time. My ability to recognize and desire to buy better parts points me in different directions now.

What are the details of the gun? Parts list, if assembled (which it sounds like) or was it a complete gun? Welcome to the forum.

My brother sent me this one.

Dirk, do NOT look at this post! 168gr FGMM is on sale for $16.99 today at PSA. https://palmettostatearmory.com/federal-308-168gr-sierra-matchking-bthp-gold-medal-ammunition-20rds-gm308m.html

I am just starting to watch this video series. I hope it will be a good resource.

Ill save you enough to buy some ammo. https://www.armorally.com/shop/vg6-cage-muzzle-device-combo/ I know 98Z5V has that combo on his 6.5 Grendel. I shot it in the fall and it shoots great. I have that combo in the mail for my Grendel build.

Matt and 98Z5V gave a detailed course on long distance shooting, including range estimation and reading wind, using only your optics to tell you how to adjust your shot. This was at the Fall Shoot in AZ. There were no flags posted in the desert to tell us which way the wind was blowing. The biggest thing you have to know is how your scope works. @Matt.Cross, I did order the PA 4-14 with MOA reticle.

I am running the Larue MBT with the heavy spring and I have had no problems.

https://www.armorally.com/shop/vg6-cage-muzzle-device-combo/ I have this on order on @98Z5Vs advice. I did not see this sale when I ordered mine. It would have saved me about $30. I have bought from this place before without any problems.

That's a great deal. I've seen the 45s go for $550 new. I haven't looked for them second hand.

Ruger makes one as well. I have shot several 45 1911s from them that are solid. They run about $800 IIRC.

Lol You've got a hell of an assembly.

Says the man who caused me to build a Grendel. Lol

If you want match ammo, watch for Federal Gold Medal Match at Palmetto State Armory to go on sale. It runs for $16.99 a box periodically. It's just not on sale right now.

Ammoseek.com is great. I use it frequently. I also use ammobot.net for alternatives.
