Armed Eye Doc

Welcome to the forum from Texas.

I found complete uppers, but don't want that either.

I am looking for a stripped upper for a Diamondback DB10 (or 3). I have looked online as well as I can but cannot find any in stock. I am not particular about the color as I will likely change that anyway. I have something I would like to complete for the fall shoot if possible. I think Armalite uppers will work but I would rather avoid the tolerance issues of mixing upper and lower. Anyone with better search tactics than me are encouraged to enable me to spend my money. (This is totally not coming out of the @Lonewolf McQuade account at the bank of @Belt Fed.)

I have found a rabbit hole of spiritual affirmations. Here is the latest courtesy of Steve Harvey. You can't have a testimony without a test.

The difference between school and life: School teaches you a lesson and then gives you a test. Life gives you a test and that teaches you a lesson.

These are truly words to raise your kids by

Welcome from Texas and thank you for your service . The wife and I visited Hawaii about 11 years ago. We were on Oahu long enough to go to Pearl Harbor and spent the next week on Maui. We had a great time while we were there.

It depends on how much life insurance he has on you that he uses your cards to pay the premium. You may be worth more to him when you are gone.

So that's yours? I wondered who that belongs to. I just showed that to my wife. Apparently, it was not as amusing as I thought.

The broken TV was not as lucky

My brother was practicing safe shooting today.

The fortunate side effect of buying things you don't use is those parts are the beginning of the next build.

Armalite also makes a fine rifle receiver extension. If you get a carbine stock and extension, make sure to get a commercial stock and not a milspec stock. The internal diameter is slightly different. They will look the same externally.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum @58marine and thank you for your service.

Can you get a close-up picture of the bolt face. A squared off extractor can cause problems.

Not with the carbine stock you have chosen. The carbine receiver extension (buffer tube) is dependent on the desire for an adjustable stock. The rifle length gas tube is more of a function of the barrel length. Those terms are not dependent on each other. The buffer mass must be balanced with the proper amount of gas to cycle the rifle. When you get your barrel, measure the gas port, preferably with numbered drill bits. Don't assume that the port will be drilled to what they said it should be. Many times they will be fine, but it is a very common area of malfunction.

Be sure to wipe off the bolt face before shooting. You don't want the oil getting in the chamber.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service. In addition to the receiver extension that @shooterrex mentioned, you should also change your gas tube to this. There is a difference between 308ar and AR-15 gas tubes. The AR-15 tube is too short and will not provide the proper amount of gas to cycle the rifle reliably.
