  1. Congrat's Grand paw <thumbsup> 48, geezz, ,that is old ! <laughs>
  2. Have you handled any 308AR's , if you have, they are all on the heavy side . You can buy a factory Armalite AR10 for much less than 2K. As far as a less weight 308AR , check the DPMS G2 308 , they have a couple of versions of it & seems to have good reviews & will probable be less weight then all the other 308AR's on the market .
  3. Not only that , but we have a happy Trigger & Operator <lmao>
  4. When you get old like me , just walking from the truck to the line is stress enough & has the same effect . <lmao>
  5. I have a 8 track player in the dinning room , left over from my mother in law . Yes we have tapes & they still work .
  6. Damn ! The road rash would have been less if he didn't ride in shorts . Kinda exposes all that skin first , at least he had a Helmet on . The deer is in the woods probably dead . Ya , don't need 911 , bullpoopy , you just had a major accident & could be hurt where you aren't feeling it ------- Yet !
  7. You had to do some work to fit those two Receivers together , POF 308's Receivers are, I thought , proprietary .
  8. Electro plated ? How do they shoot ?
  9. I think you can get them lighter , but most is in the Barrel & BCG . I don't mind a " Little " weight , the big bores play nicer with some girth to them .
  10. You will not be disappointed with your trigger choice . I have one in my 20" 308AR & it is truly a fine two stage trigger . No matter where you get it .
  11. My POF is a Carbine I built for my Lefty wife ,but she shoots right handed , so I might have wasted my time . <lmao>
  12. Maybe that's Robocop , under cover ! <laughs>
  13. That magnetic one, that straps to the barrel has to be close to bullet path & I shoot about 2-3 " over my screens , but ya , you have to be careful . I thought its as good of an idea ,as is the Magnetic one , which has got some good reviews . This thing is too new & someone some where will blow the stink off it , to see how it works . Too expensive for me as is the Magnetic one , It doesn't take me long to set up my screens & if I break this Chrono , I will look into one of the two . I do a lot of Chrono testing anymore .
  14. I would like to think , that blowing air through the gas system would tell you something about the Volume of gas running through the system , but IMO it only will show that some air is getting through , not how much . If the Port is half way covered , you wouldn't know it from being open all the way . The only way is to take measurements of the two ports ( Gas Block & Barrel Port ), to line them up . I agree , you absolutely need to make sure there is no gas restriction . As said , I find it odd that it functioned fine the first few rounds . Something changed & the Gas system would be the first thing to make sure is working to spec's . The reason I asked if the BCG is an AR 15 or M 16, is the weight difference between the two . Using a lighter Buffer , if system is indeed short cycling , would be less expensive & less trouble , but a light weight BCG with a Pistol Gas system , to me would be the way I would assemble . I would like to see the bottom of the fired casings & a side view also ,of the cases .Looking for scratches on the side of the case . I had an XM177 ( 10 1/2 bbl . ) that came to me because it would not reliably function in full auto , I had to lightly ream the Barrel's gas Port till it functioned reliably . Its not something that's normally done , but last resort , if all else fails . This is the only AR 15/M16 Barrel I had to do this to & that's over thirty years of working on them . As said , I find it odd that it functioned fine the first few rounds . Something changed
  15. The UBR stock is no light weight .
  16. Wow ,That's quite an accomplishment ! <laughs>
  17. Looks like the linking rod or lever to link the left side to the right side , must interfere with this trigger system . I'll get some Photo's of how its set up on my POF Lower Receiver, I think it is set up differently .
  18. Chopped liver !
  19. When they are soaked in sea water & dried out , they make a very good beater , as I found out going across the Equator to become a ShellBack.
  20. I just love how these threads change directions <lmao> Ya, i'll bet the technology has changed since the 80's , if anything in how information is gathered from the Radar . It would be interesting to find out . Maybe from someone that is trained with the technology in the year 2015 <laughs>
  21. Trimming .223/5.56 brass , I only have another hundred or so more to go . <thumbsup>
  22. Whats the fired brass look like . any extractor marks ? Did the BCG hold back on last shot , after problem started ?( if tested ) Was Factory ammo tested ?
  23. Very good info , & as you put it , "another Arrow in your Quiver ". Wonder if or how that trigger would work in other Ambi-Bolt releases . I have a POF , but it works differently then that S&W seems to. I assume you looked at altering the Ambi ?
  24. Nope , check that also . Why mention it if someone already has . <dontknow> Its fill in the blanks <laughs>
  25. He said a few other mags , but didn't say what manufacture , all PMags ? Or some mix of PMags & metal mags ? That be why I asked. <dontknow> I don't see bolt bounce ether . Wonder how the chamber looks , rough ? Did you remove the Extractor & Ejector from the Bolt ? What Bolt Carrier is being used , M16 , AR 15 ?
