Armed Eye Doc

I was born in Fort Worth and currently live south of DFW.

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.

15 second time exposure of the sky in the middle of nowhere.

More like @98Z5V needs to see them

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.

You stuck a thumb in it! It looks like it hurts though.

I wonder if @edgecrusher is involved here. https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/armed-men-in-standoff-shut-i-95-in-mass-shelter-in-place-for-wakefield-reading/2421271/

This happened at a lake that my parents had a house next to. Just not this close.

Pants down hugs are a special part of meeting Tom. It's not like it's skin against skin. He's hairy enough so it feels like fleece.

Welcome to the forum

Those are beautiful.

That's sharp Al.

I hope we can be there as well.

We will be hitting 32 around the time of the Fall Shoot. I should make arrangements for that in the near future.
