Contact Savage , it should be under warranty .

I'm no metallurgist , it is , what it is .

On its way to SCOTUS , once & for all . This will be interesting .

Nope , magnet suck to it with out the guts in there . I don't think that Magnet is strong enough to go through Aluminum anyway .

I'm pretty sure Lothar Walther Barrels use Armalite AR 10 Gas Port locations , which would be longer then used in AR 15/DPMS LR 308 . Though most 308 Barrels with Carbine gas positions , can run fine with a short protruding Gas Tube , Rifle length can be a bit picky , saying that I have a early 20" HB Krieger Criterion barrel from Fulton Armory that has shorter protrusion then is shown in this photo , its still far enough that its never been an issue .

That freaking Nylon Bumper or what ever its made of was a bitch to get out, but I stuck with it to bring all they important info for all of you .? Total weight , 3.8 oz. ( AR 15 Carbine ) Three weights , the middle one is heavy , three rubber pads , at least I think it was in the middle ,I had to put the beef into getting the bumper out & ended up with a lap full of inside components . The black weights were really magnetic , the Silver looking one was magnetic , but not as much as the black ones . The Buffer Body was Magnetic also length of complete unit ( AR 15 Carbine ) length 3.25 " Inside Diameter 0.557" outside diameter , 0.684" Weight Diameter , 0.543" weight of Buffer Body , 0.08 oz. black weight or Spacer , weight , 0,06 oz. ( 2 ) The Silver weight , weight , 1.5oz. ( 1 ) Buffer Spring shelf on Buffer diameter , 0.752

Oh , now your going to make me work & disassemble one ? , I do have couple in AR's , I kinda like the system , so far , haven't had time to do comparison testing yet . Geissele doesn't say the weight is just for their Buffer , so its probably universal , but you never know any more , I try to not take anything for granted in the AR world .

Are you sure those Tungsten weights will work in other Buffers & not proprietary to Geissele's own Buffer , which will only work with Geissele's own Braided wire Spring ? Of course his Buffer /Spring combo is for AR 15"s ( so far )

As far him being able bodied , he looked like he was hurt & couldn't get up & the video stops at that point or adrenaline stopped flowing & usually exhaustion type symptoms follow . This is just like all the LE shootings that you only see the shooting & nothing before or after to see the whole story . “He felt, after being slammed to the ground, that the next thing was that he was going to be further attacked by McGlockton,” Gualtieri said, adding that the time between Drejka hitting the ground and shooting was about four to five seconds.

Never said there was a gang there , it was in reference to a gang fight , ever been in one ?

None of us know what the assailant was going to do next ( & thats what he was , an assailant ) , he did not back off or put his hands up , as if to say , ok its cool , I shouldn't have pushed you , he stood his ground waiting for the guy he just assaulted to try to get back up . I'm not sure how many street fights or gang fights you guys have been in , but I can pretty much bet , if the guy just tried to get up , he would have been assaulted again & thats from experience I have witnessed & been in . You just don't threaten others with a firearm , if you pull it , you better be ready to use it . He will get sued , no doubt , but Florida's, stand your ground law ,has some teeth in favor of the Victim ( the shooter ) because he was in fear for his life , so any suit may not go far . I love Florida .

Thats just it , ya have to balance everything out , change ammo types or manufacturers much , with out retuning the rifle ? I like that there are so many different components for the AR's & especially for competition shooters , but thats a whole different world & if the rifle fails in a Match , no big deal . My mind just doesn't think that way & when someone says ,"I did it to reduce recoil " of a .223 , I just roll my eyes & clear my throat .?

I think the author of that article was a 3 gun parts pusher , why are you worried about recoil in a 5.56 Ar any way , you could tell he was a pusher by the $175 Buffer he loved so much , I mean really , recoil in a 22 rifle , please . No doubt he has super light BCG's in his rifles , that increases felt recoil right off the bat . He said it , the Carbine is over gases for a reason . Components have a service life & if you want real life functionality , a little recoil is worth it . Far too much ado over the Buffer , IMO. Your right 98 , too many manufacturers ( and AR builders ) screw up a very simple formula for AR's , when its all in writing for them to read , just about every where .

One this is for sure , the dead guy will not be pushing anyone around any more . I have always said , if I pull my firearm , its going to spit lead , that was a violent push & more violence probably would have followed . I try not to back seat these shootings , but street wise , he probably knew he was going to be attacked again & you never know what someone is carrying or what they will do . Too bad its going to start a $hit storm , the Commie propaganda wing loves to promote $hit storms .

Send him to the ISIS camp for a week . They like Americans ?

I blend & polish all my Feed Ramps . I don't think 308s even touch the feed ramps on the Receiver . ( For some reason 'Edit ' wasn't working ) Now it works on this post , man ,I hear Twilit Zone music .

Whats that word for long winded answers? Starts with a "L " , 98 ?

I think Brownells has had them on pre -order for a while now .

Just a little info which most here know anyway. AMMUNITION, AR-15, RELOADING, RELOADING CORNER, RIFLES RELOADERS CORNER: 5.56 NATO: “GO,” “NO-GO” JULY 12, 2018 GLEN ZEDIKER1 COMMENT This “warning” has been around, and around, for years, but it’s still not always heeded, or understood. Read why and how it matters HERE. The circle-cross stamp is a NATO-spec cartridge. Your barrel might be marked “5.56” or a more lengthy disclosure referencing its specs. If it’s “.223 Rem.” do not fire a NATO round through it! Your barrel might also not be marked at all. I’ve increasingly seen that. Get it checked. A NATO round will chamber perfectly in a .223 Rem. All exterior dimensions are patently the same, again, it’s the pressure level. Glen Zediker I know this is “Reloaders Corner,” but, every now and again at least, I rip open the end of a cardboard factory cartridge box, or five. I just got finished building up a “retro” AR15 for a new book. Reasons for that are a few, but probably the main one was that I wanted to recollect the one that “got away,” well, the one that I let go. Errant short-sighted judgment, as is common in youthful people. So I built a replica M16A1, circa mid-60s, well, of course, with only two selector stops. At the heart of that rifle is an original-spec barrel, chrome-lined, NATO chamber. This is a NATO chamber stamp. If it’s “.223 Rem.” that’s NOT the same! That’s leading to this: I opened up a few boxes of “genuine” NATO 5.56 to check it out with, something I honestly haven’t fired for years and years. Dang. That stuff is potent. Over the past several years, the pressure level has increased. Current standard is a little over 62,000 PSI. (NATO is technically measured differently than commercial, but the figures I give here are accurate for comparison.) Compared to SAAMI specs for .223 Remington (commercial) that’s a solid 7,000 difference. (That SAAMI-spec figure has likewise increased over the years, judging from recent test figures I’ve seen respecting commercial .223 Rem.; most references heretofore were max at 52,000 PSI.) The main impetus for this article, though, came from a recent experience at a local gun shop. I went in search of a sub-sonic .300 Blackout load, and they had one in .300 Whisper. The counter person told me that it was “exactly the same as .300 Blackout, just like .223 is the same as 5.56…” Whoa. Neither statement is true, although Whisper specs are plenty close enough to Blackout that no differences factor in safety or function. However! I didn’t take the time to lecture, but, dang, .223 Rem. and 5.56 NATO are not nearly the same. First point: do not fire NATO-spec ammo in a rifle with a chamber marked “.223 Remington.” It will, not may, be over-pressure. Reasons have to do with chamber specifications for 5.56x45mm NATO and those for SAAMI-spec .223 Remington. There is a significant difference in the leade or “freebore” cut comparing SAAMI to NATO. That’s the space in a chamber ahead of the cartridge case neck area that leads into the rifling. NATO is radically more generous, meaning “bigger”: longer, more volume. (About 0.150 inches, based on my measurements of bullet seating depths that touch the lands.) There is relatively much more room for expanding gases to occupy in a NATO chamber. In a SAAMI chamber there’s much less room for expanding gases to occupy. The additional pressure is about the equivalent of another full grain (or more) of propellant in the case. Yikes. Here’s what happens putting a factory-fresh NATO round through a .223 Rem. chamber. This case is clearly beat. Sure, it might, should, hold up for that firing, but the case is done and the gun took a needless hammering. There are other little nit differences to pick between the SAAMI and NATO cartridge, and, therefore, chambering specs, but they don’t really factor in a material sense. There’s bound also to be just as many small differences in cartridge dimensions from one maker to the next. I’ve measured enough to tell you that’s true. Now. What this has to do with reloading (finally, I know) is based on a question I’ve gotten over the years, a concern to some, or at least, as said, a question. And the answer is that you’re better off going with .223 Remington loading data for any ammo intended for “general” range use. That means blasting away on an afternoon. Just because it’s a NATO chamber does in no way mean you’re supposed to run NATO-spec ammo through it! Back it off and enjoy it more. If you’re relying on a factory-published data manual to give a place to start, or stop (something from Sierra, Hornady, Lyman, or so on) pay very close attention to the test barrel specifications. Clearly, barrel length has a big influence on attaining the published velocities, and some load combinations are going to be worked up using considerably longer barrels than what the most of us have on our AR15s. But the biggest factor is the chamber used in the test barrel. If it’s a SAAMI-spec (sometimes called a “SAAMI-minimum”) chamber then the data should be on the conservative side. Should be. Do not, however, bank on any idea that you should jump straight to the maximum load listed if you’re loading for use in a NATO. There are, always, too many factors that otherwise create more or less pressure (primers, cases, propellant lot, and more). As time goes by it probably is less likely to encounter a semi-automatic “.223” that’s not a NATO, but it will be marked as such! Clearly, most ammo is used in the most popular guns. That’s not going to be a bolt-action anymore. Make no mistake, though, AR15s exist plentifully that have SAAMI chambers, and I see a lot of aftermarket barrels that are cut with that minimum-dimension reamer. ANOTHER OPTION So what’s a “Wylde” chamber? This is a chambering spec developed by Bill Wylde, one of the early and leading pioneers in the quest for improved AR15 accuracy. It is popular and available, especially in aftermarket barrels. What it is, is a chamber that’s in-between SAAMI-minimum and NATO, leaning closer to NATO. Rumors are true: it’s safe to fire NATO-spec factory loads through a Wylde. The Wylde was designed upon the introduction of the heavier competition bullets with the idea of providing more freebore to accommodate the necessarily longer cartridge overall lengths necessary with something like an 80gr. Sierra, but keep the amount of jump to a minimum with shorter bullets fed from the magazine.

Picked up a USGI Fiberglass Stock to compare the two , the FG Stock has some flex like SAI before I enhanced it , but not nearly as much , the FG Stock has a much better real to it shooting , seems more beefy , so to speak & seems to handle the recoil better , not sure why it feels that way , but it does . I went to the range with both Stocks yesterday & forgot my shooting rest & rear Bag , had to use my Range bag & was a miserable shoot , I was set up by 0800 & my glasses fogged with ever shot , I couldn't keep the sweat out of my eyes , the Range bag sucked for any kind of precision shooting so I just tested the two Stocks , just to compare the two . The FG Stock shot about 6" low compared to the SAI Stock , which the Scope was sighted in with , but both shot about the same groups , if you can call them that . I need to do this test again when it gets cooler & I have my Bags & rest to do a real comparison from the data I already have .I'm not going to shoot anything , but Hand Guns till it cools off . To be continued : The USGI Fiber Glass Stock in some kind of Camo

Great silhouette of a Rifle with a scope & the Bipod feet do look good , but you Star Treky lighting is not up to the task ?. I also looked at this scope a while back when Brownells had it on sale .Interesting .

Interesting , very resourceful .

Pretty sure the US Military drawings are archived some where on line . Good luck , because these Receivers are not like an AR , need specific tooling to make them & its not cheap to Forge anything . Some Manufacturers make them from Billet Steel ( Smith Enterprises ) Some make them from investment casting ( Springfield Armory Inc. ) The specialized Tooling will cost an arm & a leg & then find someone that knows how to use it .Much cheaper to purchase a Bula Forged Receiver , Futon Armory or a SEI & go from there . You have till midnight to get in on a Bula deal for the fourth ! Happy 4th of July from Bula Defense! We are pleased to announce our best sale ever and look forward to your business!

Gator

Well at least in my retention pond , It showed up today , haven't seen one in a while back here .
