  1. At least she’s out getting a little exercise.
  2. Is it lubed up?
  3. You’re probably putting it in backwards. Try starting with the smaller side.
  4. Eh...everybody has waste.
  5. I’ll be curious to see what they are. And how long they hold up.
  6. I like my Geissele better, but the Larue is a great trigger for the price.
  7. I’ll give the Larue the 308AR guarantee that rolls out occasionally. If you buy it and don’t like it, I’ll pay you what you paid plus shipping for it.
  8. That’s the ticket. Open it up and put a buffer of appropriate weight in the gun A lot of companies have tried to shrink the gas ports to compensate for running a slightly lighter and “less expensive to produce” buffer and it’s caused many a rifle to function poorly. Fixing a problem that didn’t exist. Sure, the 10 pound rifle is now 1.6 ounces lighter, but they’re trying to reduce gas and play with springs to adjust the physics of firing the rifle. I’ll take the extra ounce and a half to have a gun that eats anything. Don’t know what the right bit is for you to go with, but get a wood dowel to insert in the barrel as a backer.

    Grilling

    Someday. We’ll have to figure out how to build one of those.

    Grilling

    Damn you shepp. I don’t need more attachments.
  11. Not so. Armalite and DPMS are different threads. The upper receiver dictates the nut you need, but it also has to work with the guards, so you need a guard that comes with a nut specific to your receiver. And then make sure you have the right height profile for the rail. Ever wonder why so many things get screwed up by manufacturers labeling anything “308” as an AR10? Guys might seem like they’re being A-holes on here when they jump on that...but believe me there’s a reason for trying to educate the masses. Wish the companies would listen. It would save folks a lot of headache and heartburn.

    Easter dinner

    We had eggs for dinner last night...not the ones from the yard though. Nothing special here. That rib roast makes the mouth water.
  13. I did get a shot the other night.
  14. Too big can be fixed with an adjustable gas block. Can’t go bigger than the inside of the gas tube or you’re just wasting open hole. You can almost guarantee it could go up a bit. Start small if you want after the new parts come in and work up to a comfortable level. Keep in mind some breakin will need to happen before things settle out, but build a gun that eats various ammo. Unless you’re building a competition gun around one specific reload...the basic numbers you see thrown out regularly in the other threads seem to work well.
  15. That is looking really good. Makes me want to start a build, but after shopping for tile and appliances with my wife this weekend, my next build is several years out.
  16. Don’t plan to be there. Just casually show up. Everything you plan, things go south for someone. Be spontaneous and get the ticket last minute.
  17. ...to clarify. The 2021 Fall shoot.
  18. I had $0.20 gal rewards to use last time I filled up...so I only paid $4.25/gal
  19. Well...I didn’t go far enough in for the pic. We stopped short. We were making the trip to get a little frozen yogurt for desert. And by my rough calculations, it’s only $16 to the gas station and back....dick. Lol.
  20. Really soon....
  21. Hold my beer...I’ll be right back. Headed into town and I’ll snap a pic.

    Ammo

    I’m figuring most of the defeated bodies around my area won’t be carrying any ammo unfortunately. I can only carry so many pillows.
  23. My buddy just scored a blem from them a couple days ago.
  24. Better than a poke in the eye I guess. Glad they showed up!
  25. One of my old co-workers had his wife respond to a fake email from her bank. Clicked the link and typed in all their info. It started pinging the account for 2k every minute until the bank shut it down. Hard to believe people fall for that crap. She was a college grad “engineer”. Wouldn’t have expected her to be a dumbass, but apparently people fall for that crap.
