Yep , should have cut or broke off as much as they could sticking outside the Leg or leg protector , good they didn't remove the Boot & leg protector . If they had opened a major artery , he could have bled to death riding back .

I would also like to add , that the New MEC single stage Press is still pumping out precise concentricity Ammo , all with in 0.001" run out , with Lee Dies . I will be taking these 25-45 Sharps & the 308's I loaded to see if they do shoot better because of the Run Out .

Just like it was for the 300BLK at first . I'm using 6mmx45 data , pretty close , but won't know till I try . They read that you won't get much or peak Velocity , but we all know that high Velocity doesn't necessarily mean accuracy . I didn't want to spend a $$ on one pound of the ones SRC listed till I see whats is what with what I have , since I have a decent collection of Powders . I also don't have anywhere local to get any . Now ya cant say this isn't fun !

Didn't DPMS do the same thing with the G2 ? Though I like POF's Piston system in some ways . I have an AR 15 build with the POF Billet Upper & lower Receivers & with all of the Ambidextrous features built in & its real nice for my south paw Wife. Makes me wonder about the Bolt being the same size as a 5.56 with a 308 pattern face . Though POF has some good R&D .

So is AR 10 , just look up a part for a DPMS LR 308 Sorry , I couldn't resist .

Well the Patents don't mean a thing , they own the "AR 15 Name & have sued to keep it that way , just how many AR15 type rifle companies call their rifles " AR 15" ? My point is , you don't see Colt owners saying thats not an AR 15 , you have something else , when you call your rifle a AR15 , now do ya .

Loaded five each of 23.0 gr IMR 3031 23.3 gr.-IMR 3031 23.6 gr. IMR 3031-C 24 gr. IMR 4895 24.5 gr. - IMR 4895-C For testing with Chrono.. not sure how these Powders will do , I might even try Ramshot TAC & no you won't see these Powders listed for the 25-45 Sharps . Some of these are very slightly compressed .

What manufacturer is you Bolt /BCG ? Cratered primers can also be a sign that the Firing Pin Hole in the Bolt face is too large , may not be a safety issue , just cosmetic as far as what your primers will look like . Just ask anyone with a DPMS G2 . Or it could be ammo is a little hot .

I believe my posts were talking about firearms designations, definitions , is not AR 10 a firearm designation/definition ? ( or I'm just a stupid fuker ) To make things more confusing here are some points . Though i'm not sure of dates , when all this happened , Rough time lines here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmaLite Colt buys the rights to the term AR 15 from the original Armalite Company , brings suit to any other AR company/manufacturer , that they can not use any of the letters "A " or " R" in their firearms designation , they tried to keep everyone from using the Numerals "1" ,"5" or " 15 ' , but failed , so no one could use "AR" 15 , or any combo of the "A" or "R " . Olympic Arms , had called their version of the AR 15 , CAR 15 ( I have one ) & were promptly sued by Colt , ya have to know at the time , their were not many manufacturers of AR rifles at the time & I mean very few . Now at some time there about Armalite was picked up by the present parent company 1996 or something like that . What has me confused & maybe you people here can enlighten me , is , if Colt , who still has the rights to the " AR 15 " designation & sued everyone at the time that they owned the term "AR " in any form , how is it Armalite can use it ? Maybe they are paying for the rights ? You tell me . I was big into firearm dealing at the time , there was no internet , we all only knew what we read in the Gun books , Shot Gun News & at Gun Show where we would talk about this $hit ! & for all of you that stopped reading this thread , go back to sleep .

Foreplay is hell with a Shark . Maybe someone should have told her not to stick her body parts outside the cage when sharks are feeding around you !

This is great https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3489549/porn-star-horror-shark-attack/

Oh .

The whole point of the AR 10 comparison was to show how new people in to the large frame AR's , are not savvy on the 308 AR's & of course they should say they have a AR10 type AR , but the 308 chambered AR is synonymous to the Armalite AR 10 , so some , in both the manufacturing side & retail sales , use the term to separate it from its smaller framed version the AR 15 . On the term AR 15 , Colt owns the rights to that designation , do you see any Colt owners jumping in & saying thats not a AR 15 , because its not a Colt & it doesn't matter if its Mil Spec or not , its a name recognition . I agree & the only reason I wrote that I had a POS DPMS is because there is so much bias on them , I have never owned a factory built AR & still don't , in any Caliber or any configuration , including the Select fire versions I built & sold , I have got many on trade ins when i was a FFL dealer, never kept one of them . I have built every AR, in every caliber, I have or used to shoot & Been building & repairing them since the seventies . You have never heard me say one rifle was better then another & never will . I have said in many posts here that the proper manufacturer of said AR 308's is required to get the proper component for fitment , though as I have brought up here , their are very slight differences in the 308 chambered rifles , but some incorrect components can cause issues with function , as with just about every firearm out there . To me , they are all the same , just different in ways & as any repairman , be it a car , motorcycle , washing machine , the correct part , by model & manufacturer is needed to keep them in working order . Just don't bring up thet your Particular brand of Firearm is perfection & better then any one else , because I made a living repairing just about every kind or brand out there . Sooner or later they will break & need repair , I don't care who makes them , if they are used enough to get to the service life of said components . Yep !

Plenty of room in the 20 round metal mag. I could go longer in the COL & not have interference issue , but will not at this time . One thing I don't have are 20 rd. PMags, might get a couple just for the 25-45.

Metal mags will not have any issues like the PMags & I like Pmags , but with the metal they don't need any alterations to use these bullets . I will be getting some 87 gr. soon to try also . I already am reloading 25-45 & will have some results soon with my loads , I'm not using any of the Powders listed ,that are being used , should be interesting , one way or the other . One thing , my brass came out very pretty from the SS tumbling . Didn't have to trim much , all are @ 1.750"

Hay , just about every on line firearms manufacturer or store , is using the Term AR 10. We had a thread about that here somewhere & I think they use it to designate its difference in Calibers & Frame or Receiver size .Wrong , maybe , maybe not , misleading ,yes . Its really not misleading terminology , people use AR 10 parts on DPMS ( among others ) & DPMS Parts on Armalite AR 10's with no issues , I certainly don't recommend it , as we have recorded dimensional differences with the two Branded BCG's on a Thread on this Forum . Why would you put a DPMS Upper Receiver on a Armalite AR 10 Lower ? Some here have purchased the mismatched set ups & found out real quick ,they don't look right they should have researched or asked about the Cosmetic differences , I have read where they will work , just don't look right . Don't get me wrong , I agree that the proper manufacturer should be used for parts identification , just can't understand why some get so worked up about it . To me its Childish to say my car, gun , bike or what ever is better then yours . Before someone thinks , maybe I should buy a An Armalite AR 10 & I would feel the same way , al I got to say is bull$hit ! I would like to have one just because its another 308 , but I have enough ( yes I said I have enough rifles ) & my POS DPMS rifles work just fine .

I weighed the Rifle yesterday with mounted Scope & no mag , the weight was close to 8# , a little heavier then I thought it would be . Must be the 20" bbl.

I would display one , for a short time anyway , then it would have to go back where it belongs McMillian is out of business ? I don't think so , they may have changed their business model .

I see some didn't read so well , so I will spell it out , the differences or what part you need for what model or brand would be on its identification , just like a Registration number on a car . When you go to order or buy a part for you car , don't you say what Make & Model & in most cases , year of manufacturer ( you will need that in the Armalite "A" & "B " Models ) So why do people on Forums & much worse on others , give the info on what is what , with a demeaning put down . Why would someone get butt hurt because I called one of my 308ARs an AR 10 , why ? Its like they think they have something special , because the original Manufacturer made it first , WTF that manufacturer is long gone , there is no difference between the Rifles or very very little , except manufacturers & thats where the Parts designation is important , just like a ford or Chevy , sure you have hard core believers that one is better then the other , when in reality , they aren't . Thats the facts . I think that those who think they have a better rifle are in a way pissed because there are so many manufacturers that make the AR in the 308 version & when they bought theirs , it was the only one on the block & now theirs is just another model out there . Its just a rifle , like many many others . What Manufacturer makes or has made the most AR rifles in 308 ? If I made 10 million AR rifles in 308 & had 2 % returns for repair & someone else made 10 thousand & had 1 % returns for repair , which is the better Rifle ? Your first thought is probably not correct . Just my opinion , if you get butt hurt , its your fault . The comparison was hypothetical , as far as cars . You tell me you can't see the two Rifle brands are not nearly identical ? If so What is the difference , a cosmetic line in the rear of the receiver ? You cant really see that till you get real close , not so with cars & trucks .

I have never had to replace any parts with my Lee dies or my Lee 1000 ( that is one of the first ones out ) , but you can not go wrong with RCBS Customer service , I had a adjuster shaft on my 30 yr. old Bullet Sizer that broke & they sent me new one , no questions asked , I even had an a minor Part break on my RCBS Green Machine & if you know anything about this side to side progressive reloader , its old & they sent me the part , I couldn't believe they even had the part .

When you compare two almost exactly looking objects to one another & say this is this & this is that , no wonder there is confusion . The comparison between a ford or chevy is not a good comparison here , when you look at it , you basically have two of the same things , when you look at a ford Mustang & a Chevy Corvette , there are major differences in looks , they look nothing alike . Now compare aDPMS LR 308 to a Armalite rifles with the same furniture , whats the difference , a line at the back of the Receivers , thats it . That would be like comparing two exactly the same cars , be it a Corvette or Mustang & both made by different companies , be it Ford or Chevy , the only differences being one has a Spoiler & the other doesn't . They both look exactly alike , use the same Gas , Same Engine ( One might have solid lifters & the other Hydraulic , something you can not even see ) same Tires ( Armalite uses SR25/DPMS Mags ) the only difference in looks , performance , & that one has a spoiler & the other doesn't , but they are made by different Manufacturers . Yes you will need different parts for the two , but both look exactly alike , we will use Corvette for an example of what they look like , now how are you going to tell me they are different , look at the designation badges of who made them , thats it , so it is easy for a person to describe one as the other , till you get to the Spoiler & Solid lifters , & thats what you have to ask , who made what & its easy to say this one needs this & this one needs that , they are both the Fuking same ! With minor & I mean Minor differences . I think there is a cult for the Armalite AR 10 & they keep this up almost like shaming you because you dare to call your 308AR an AR 10 ! I don't have a fish to fry in this , I like them all ( well some Manufacturers are not all that good ) I work on them all & enjoy them all , if they use a large frame , they can be called a AR 10 , if you ask me the Original AR 10 owners should be thrilled that others use this designation .

This is still all spill over with the last so called administration , this is part of their agenda , they used this model to starve the capacity of firearms related companies & Manufacturers of commerce , by refusing dealings with anything related . More of their gun control , anti second Amendment agenda . Maybe you should make a list of the Banks that use this model for business & post it here so we can avoid them . Is PayPal an alternative for some transactions or is there issue with them ?

This one in the photo has a Dust cover of the same color , i'll have to look , but I may not have any gen 1 's , I have to look now , I have a bunch still in the wrappers . I sorted out 20 more LC that are in the 1.760" class length for forming & through research the trim to length is 1.750" just as a 5.56/.223 .

Ah ha , thats an old mag in the photo , how do you know the first gen. or second , for that matter ? I know the Gen 3 have it stamped on it . Can you still use the altered mag for 5.56 , I guess I should have asked it differently , so to be clear .
