Is there a button that you can click near the thread title that enables you to jump to the first unread post in a thread so you don't have to search for where you left off last time? (Still getting used to this format of forum software, I'm used to vBulletin) Thanks

But...But...I have more guns. They all need new USO glass! I've been looking pretty hard at the SWFA offerings, I've got that Viper HS on order (ETA 8/9 F%&#$**@ >:() I'm leaning towards a Millett Trs-1 pretty hard since I read the review that LEO did on the Hide. That'll probably go on my 7mm 700 when the new one shows up.

Thank you for getting me through 3rd shift!

Thats awesome! Getting a can is on my bucket list!

You don't have to cancel the order, just send it over my way! I'll dispose of it properly

I'm enjoying following this project as it progresses. Admittedly, I havent thoroughly read all posts so I could have passed over the answer, but I'm curious as to why you wouldn't go with a target crown. That would save you the entire weight of the flash hider

Whats the length of the barrel now? Twist rate?

When I was a kid, we called them Super Soakers...

I just saw dpms post that on their facebook page. I'm getting real burnt out on the zombie thing, and that furniture set looks like something a city worker should carry.

Did someone finally start making magnum extractors?

A loaded one! My favorite handgun that I own is my Kimber Custom II, Damn accurate, Damn reliable.

Here she is!, Just have to torque the barrel nut and throw some optics on and she'll be ready to rock!

Thats the one I meant

What about the image on the 308ar wallpaper in site updates?

I looked it up on the web, and idk what that reticle is called. I wasn't trying to "correct" you or anything like that, just looking for clarification :banana:

By "rangefinding reticle" do you mean mildot?

I'm in the same boat. According to Midway, I'll have to wait until August for my Vortex Viper HS5-15x 44. I'm going to buy a "In the meantime" scope for it, and then put that scope on a different rifle once the Vortex arrives.

Well, I got it out! I held a magnet to the hole for the pin, held the catch so the spring tension wasn't restricting movement, and hit the buffer tube on the ground (on carpet) as it walked its way out. I wish I could tell you it was easy, but in all honesty, it was a pain in the ass! It took me about 15 mins to get it out once I got my method figured out. Once I got the catch out, I could see that the corners of it were digging into the rounded edges of the slot in the lower. I rounded both vertical edges and the bottom corner a little more and polished it up nicely. Its like butta now, releases with ease! I put an extra milspec trigger I had laying around in it for now, and have my stock on the way. Hopefully by this time next week, I'll be able to test fire it!

Do you guys consider corrections officers LE?

I may try to remove it. If I do, I'll get back to you. Cold blue is a good idea. I'm not as worried about appearance as I am corrosion. I think the catch itself was the issue. When I initially assembled it before I put the set screw in, I could tell that it was going to be an issue so I rounded the corner. I guess I just didn't take enough off.

I was doing a little function testing and encountered a small snag. I pulled the bolt back with the empty mag in it to check the bolt catch. It locked back perfectly, then I went to release it ant notice the bolt catch wasn't going down far enough. Turns out the corner of the bolt catch was riding on the slot in the lower when pressure was applied by the mag. At this point I'm thinking I'm completely boned because the way that the TM-10 secures the bolt catch is very difficult to remove, if possible at all. I started manipulating the catch by hand finding exactly where the contact was between the two parts. Then I did something that nearly made me break out in a cold sweat; I pulled out the dremel. I proped the catch in the 'up' position (while in the lower) and slowly beveled the offending edge. Worked like a charm! NOW its functioning the way it should have from the start. I just neet to take a little emery cloth and smooth out the area I dremeled and find some way to cover up the bare metal areas. I may use my Birchwood Casey super black pen to protect the metal unless anyone has a better solution. For those that are interested, the part was from Fulton Armory's LPK and here's a pic of the edges I altered (in red)

I get superb accuracy from my Marlin 17VS, but I dont think that fits your criteria, as its a laminate stock and bull barrel.

We're cookin with gas now! Got the barrel and bolt in...being the kid who opened his toys in the car, I saw no other option then to mock it up for some pics until I get the loaner tools to torque it on properly!

Bump

Good work! looks like it will do the job well!
