Armed Eye Doc

Here is the Armalite carbine kit. This is where Armalite sells their parts now https://everygunpart.com/oem/armalite-ar10-6-pos-rec-ext-kit-assy-plate-no-stock-ar10rekit01-armalite-parts-8dtzx2-7utx-00.html

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

Awesome!

If it is available, a Mossberg Shockwave (or the above-mentioned 500 with an adapter) with the 1.75 inch shells should be among the options. You can get 8-9 birdshot, buckshot or slugs in one. The recoil is minimal with the short shells. However, precise aiming is optional except for the slugs. Ammo is maybe a little more expensive than 9mm SD loads, but practice would be a little less IMO.

Nice spot you've got Rex.

That walnut is nice, but that M1A is gorgeous.

That is an awesome looking rifle. That stock is gorgeous! 😍

That's a monster.

That should work.

Those are ok for measurements, but I would still recommend Cobalt bits. I have used similar HF bits on other metal and did not have good luck, especially with the smaller bits. However, I did not have a pilot hole. With those, I would go up the next size that doesn't fit even if you have to drill more than one time. You just want to be sure not to break the bit in the hole. Be sure to use some oil to keep the drill cool. I used a drill press as well with an AR upper vise. But have heard of plenty of people using a handheld drill.

Looking at the above conversation chart, you need a #47 to get to almost 0.079 or #46 to go a little bigger. You can get individual numbered bits at many hardware stores. Unless you want an entire set, you don't really need all of them. Just be sure to get the Cobalt bits.

It looks good.

I hadn't seen the picture and the answer was yes.

This would be news except that it happened in 2005. I'm not sure why it is being brought up now except as something to divert attention from the current events.

If you set YT videos to unlisted, you can still post a link but no one will stumble across it.

Welcome to the forum.

At least there is a record of documentation for them. Remington has been bought and sold at least a couple of times since your firearm was made. People with early DPMS rifles are out of luck on knowing when theirs were made. No records exist anymore.

The correct length is 7 5/8. If you want the 7 5/8 tube, be sure to get either a true Armalite tube or a VLTOR A5 tube. Those will be the correct length. Others may or may not be correct. As for a buffer, start with a standard AR-15 sized H3 buffer. It will be 5.4 oz (maybe 5.6, I don't remember off the top of my head). That will get you what you want for the buffer. You also want to get an Armalite AR-10 spring or Sprinco orange spring to have the correct spring.

@shooterrex, are you getting any of the rain?

I found this at a different forum so I can't be sure it is correct. Modern Remington barrels are stamped with a Date/Code, which denotes when it was made. Remington Year of Manufacture Codes maybe found on the barrel of your Remington shotgun, on the left side, just forward of the receiver. The first letter of the Code is the month of manufacture, followed by one or two letters which are the year of manufacture. For shotguns with removeable barrels, the code will be valid for the manufacture of the barrel; maybe for the receiver, as barrels do get switched around. Month Codes: [first letter] B - L - A - C - K - P - O - W - D - E - R - X 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 Year:______Code: [second (and third*) letters] 1960_______ G 1961_______ H 1962_______ J 1963_______ K 1964_______ L 1965_______ M 1966_______ N 1967_______ P 1968_______ R 1969_______ S 1970_______ T 1971_______ U 1972_______ W 1973_______ X 1974_______ Y 1975_______ Z 1976_______ I 1977_______ O 1978_______ Q 1979_______ V 1980_______ A 1981_______ B 1982_______ C 1983_______ D 1984_______ E 1985_______ F 1986_______ G 1987_______ H 1988_______ I 1989_______ J 1990_______ K 1991_______ L 1992_______ M 1993_______ N 1994_______ O 1995_______ P 1996_______ Q 1997_______ R 1998_______ S 1999_______ T 2000_______ U 2001_______ W 2002_______ X As maybe seen, the year code letters duplicate; some knowledge of when the model was introduced should resolve the actual year of manufacture. SO, if (for instance) your Remington 1100 LT-20 has a Date Code of, say, "AZ" - that would indicate a manufacturing date of March 1975 ("A"=3=March; "Z"=1975).

That is awesome! Maybe she'll make the 2025 Fall Shoot. She will probably outshoot @98Z5V by then. I gotta do something to get the ape back in here.

Sharp looking carbine Al.
