Me too, I heard their customer service was very good and was hoping for a good outcome...

Yes sir, I value good customer service...regardless if it's a big company or a mom & pop shop...without it, people lose trust...

Arken contacted me this morning and apologized for the specs being off...they asked me to measure the distance between the lugs and apparently the measurements are bad, so they had me fill out a replace and return form...I'm just getting them to replace it for me...but you're right Tom, if it happens again, I'll file the lugs to fit the upper...

My dad might have a rail I can try, but other than that I don’t have access to another rail to try…

the rail spacing on the upper averaged 5.06mm, the 3 “ribs” on the mount averaged 5.0mm, but the space between the ribs on the mount weren’t even…one was 34.77mm (front) and the other was 35mm (rear)

You would be correct Tom…IRA upper/lower…I actually got them stripped…barrel is DPMS and handguard is Daniel Defense…

You would be correct Tom…IRA upper/lower…

I should’ve figured something was gonna go wrong when I was getting my reloading stuff together pretty easily…and today it happened… Since I got some space cleared out, I decided to try to get my scope mounted before taking it to the range to sight it in…welp, the one piece mount doesn’t want to fit into my AR rail…it’s like they just don’t line or are just slightly too big…

I'm thinking about trying this place out just so I can work on 100yrd zeroes and maybe, if they allow it, test my reloads, but I gotta read up more about there rules and such... Maryland's Premier Indoor Shooting Facility | GUNTRY

Ugh....I havent had a soft crab sandwich in years...SO GOOD!!!.....nothing wrong with eating seafood, I haven't had fish in awhile.........most ranges here are 100yrds....some private ranges go further, but you have to be a member and they aren't usually taking new members....there is one public range that I go to on occasion, it goes out to 300 and 500yrds, but I don't trust the people that go there...so many bullet holes in the covered roof over the benches and WAY too many people shooting across lanes and at other peoples targets...

LOL...I might need one! I've been here all 42 years of my life...just really wish we had some decent ranges for distance in this blue state...

You'll get a pass on the crabs due to your location 😉

Someone just recommended to me to get small base dies for reloading for my .308...they would only be used for this caliber/gun anyway...I currently have the Hornady Single Stage press, would you guys recommend SBD set to get for it? Thanks!

Seeing if anyone from the Crab Capital of the world is here...I'm just outside of Baltimore in Dundalk...

I'm actually gonna make up a list of recommended bullets/weights and probably buy a box of each to see how they perform...

Sample pack would be my bolt gun mind...LOL

I'll have to check out the ELD-X's.....damn shame you can't buy like a sample pack of the actual bullets you want to try out...that would be pretty awesome!

No stranger to reloading, I have an 6mm Creedmoor bolt gun too

I'm actually contemplating switching to a different caliber...might go the same route as my bolt gun and do 6 Creedmoor

Thanks man, it has been awhile...life and such... I wish I could tell you what kinda matches I was shooting...last match I shot in was a PRS match a few years ago using my 6 Creedmoor bolt gun.......however, PRS does have a Gas Gun Division and if I remember correctly, the targets are between 200 to 700 or 800 yards. Some stages are positional and others are one position, typically prone. I did pick up 3 stripped AERO AR15 lowers last year, mainly 2 for me and 1 for my daughter, atleast for when she gets a bit older...:D Doubt it matters much, but I'm in Maryland and there's not alot going on in this state as far as distance matches go...there is the Mason Dixon Precision Rifle Series, that goes between Maryland and Pennslyvania, but I've never been able to snag a spot when the registration opens up... So I guess to sum up, I'm looking for a match style that I can tailor the gun to...

Hey guys, finally decided to pull my .308 out of the safe and use it for what I had originally intended it for, to shoot some matches. Are you guys using stock ammo or reloading your own? If you're reloading, what grain bullets are you using? I did find some Lapua 155gr Scenars and some Lapua D46's sitting on my safe... Not using that scope/rings, have another scope and cantilever mount on order... I have some ammo on hand of various brands, but from what I remember, it didn't like the Hornady Superformance 178gr...I think it was piercing the primers...here's some pics...

Unfortunately not, I've been sidelined with a lot of other crap that needs my attention.....still wanting to get a new optic and suppressor and then I can put that Vortex on my AR10

Damn, 28 days is pretty damn good!.....I actually need to change that up, I had to change the spelling of "Designs" to "Dezigns".......might be changing that up also, never done any light bulbs

Good morning!!! 😁👋
