Spit wads ?

So .

High version , pre 2009 , low version post 2009 , as far as DPMS LR 308's are concerned . Why PSA went to the older rail height of the DPMS LR 308 , is anyones guess . I know when DPMS did it in 2009 , a bunch of manufacturers were real slow to make Hand Guards with the newer lower rail height . It is said it was to co witness the Iron Sights like the AR 15 , because the Pre 2009 rear sight was a little higher , because of the rail height& some had issues with sighting them in & they needed a taller front sight post . Any more , you can find both rail heights in Hand Guards . Now , what I don't know is if PSA will match up to anyone else's , some of their stuff has been proprietary .

Looks like its shorter gas tube length then the Pistol length in the photo's of the different gas system lengths . Must be an optical illusion . I don't shoot subs or suppressed , so I can say what will work with he 300BLK in those conditions , all I can say is my 16" with carbine gas system works fine with 110gr. to 150 gr. bullets & I don't have gas tube fires , thats a new one on me . Hope it works as advertised for those who have this issue .

Might be an issue if you running a taper pinned A2 front sight , other then that , just make sure if your purchasing a Fee Float hand guard with a Rail , you order the correct one to match your Receivers rail height.

Have you looked through the two scopes for a comparison ? https://www.natchezss.com/p-308-4-12x40-matte-bdc800.html , the other models are out of stock .

I ordered the Sinclair concentricity gage from Brownells with the Dial indicator , it was on sale for $ 99.99 & free shipping . The reviews read that the Dial Indicator is Chinese , but I have a good one to replace it with if I don't like it & if it fits . Curiosity is not cheap sometimes .

You gave your bid , now its our turn .

What do you have , model , manufacturer , etc .?

I have never found a thing wrong or a Blemish on one & I have got a lot of them in the past , but of course if any of you'all buy one it will probably screw up The refurbished are the only ones I pick up any more , if I'm getting a Nikon . They come in a White Box & have a 90 day warranty , never needed to send one back yet & I have several on my 12 ga. Slug guns .

I have had & still have a bunch of Scopes from Nikon that are refurbished , most are from display & the Factory goes over them . I have never had an issue with one .

That was for Christians , the Mooselimbs were not effected ! Quote '"There were no such protests when former President Obama restricted Christian refugees from entering the U.S. from Syria, Egypt, Pakistan and other Muslim countries."

Ya thats it !

Wiggles may not be the correct word for it . The Case , be it inserted into the Die for sizing or retracted after sizing , is under a bit of pressure , less on retraction , but still under pressure , add to that that the inside of the Neck of the casing is actually being finished sized on retraction of the case from the Die . Wiggles may sum it up in a way , but more likely its a realignment of the case or with the floating Shell Holder ,permitting realignment , where as a fixed secure or locked in Shell Holder , its not permitted to do this aligning & any out of alignment of the case , its being forced through it . If you have a Dillon , with the Tool head , you will notice ( maybe by design ) that the whole Tool Head floats & may accomplish the same thing as a floating Shell Holder , with an added benefit of all processes , be it sizing , Seating of the Bullet or what ever form of Crimping is done . I wasn't going to purchase a concentricity gage , but may now , just to see if the case is formed abnormally in some way . The one I 'am looking at is the Sinclair one . I have a couple extra Dial indicators & this can be purchased with out one , for less $$.

Extra velocity , extra pressure , decreased barrel life , always a trade off . Use 6.8 specific Mags , might as well go with the 6.8 . I see some long range shooters liking it , keeping the .22 cal..

Interesting results with my experiment , here's what I did. As per above Post , I removed the spring clip that held the Shell Holder in a locked position in the Pacific Press & replaced it with an O-Ring . Took three LC 308 Brass cases , three of each , 2006,2010& 2011, measured each one ( there were some differences in the Unsized case years )& marked the bottom of the case with I, II & III , sized the # I's in the MEC press & the # II's in the Pacific Press , (now with the Shell holder loose to move a little ). Now ,No measurable difference in size length from one press to the other , this is with the same Bushing Sizing Die & same Shell holder . I took the sized cases from the MEC press & re-sized them in the Pacific Press & this time , no case got longer ! Theory ; the locked in Shell holder some how , by locking the case in the Press ram , it must not be aligned with the Sizing Die & sizes the case differently , by around 0.003" , on my testing anyway, on the comparison Pacific Press I have . Now it may not be much , but two things come to mind , one - if its sizing differently , how ? At an angle & two- Brass life has to be longer if its not being stretched by sizing it needlessly by misalignment . That brings up something else , if it is misaligned , in what way & does it effect how it sits in the Chamber , is the case deformed enough to cause the Bullet to be angled in such a way as to no hit the Lands or Forcing cone or Lead dead center ? I was going to use a larger test count , but after this , I don't think it will make a difference . That article about getting rid of the locked in Shell Holder was dead on , I can't believe just having slop in the Shell holder would have made any difference .

8 x 42 will work , but its not a spotting scope , but is better then nothing . I got the wife the higher end Burris 8x42 for bird watching & they are very good , crystal clear .

If you remember , I had a CMMG that would not work reliably with first PMags, worked fine with any metal mag & the Lancer's , until they came out with the Gen 3 & it worked . This is the trouble with no 308AR spec's thats industry wide . Did you try the Armalite A Bolt Stop ?

Me thinks there's more to this story then we are reading . just my spidey sense kicking in .

Still feared , not a fully correct statement , but it should be . http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-1911-semiautomatic-pistol-why-americas-enemies-still-19218

Could be the Heavy Bullets , I'm running 110 gr. Bullets & its not bad at all .

Starting that video in the link , froze my laptop up , got a blank screen & had to restart to get it to work again , I don't want to see it that bad
