SOLD on GB thanks

I am guessing with the 1/9 twist I need some heavier pills

fired test rounds today, everything worked great accuracy with the Honandy 139 SST sucked but function was perfect

I have a IRA lower I just purchased used, its the Armalite Pattern and I use DPMS pattern, so I have no use for it. I am looking for DPMS pattern upper (not slick side)and Free float quad rail for rifle length prefer thin profile like a troy. Also looking for a spare bolt The Lower has a thin coat of duracoat FDE Minor marks on the top from charging handle going back and forth comes with lower pats kit receiver Pins, detent springs, safety and magazine release, trigger and trigger pins not included location; michigan for trade or sale $320

lesson learned ask before buying maybe I can trade it to some for parts I need? anyway I will see what IRA has to say checked mags and it does not take DPMS mags so I am putting it up for sale / trade, thanks for the info

I have no interest in getting Armalite parts, I run all DPMS pattern all of my barrels and extensions as well. I contacted IRA hopping for some answers,

if the weather holds I will shoot it today

I would not have bought it if I knew, the guy from AR15.com never mentioned it?

I recently purchased a IRA Lower 308, but found out it is a AR10 compatible not DPMS LR, with the angled back, will a mega arms upper fit a IRA lower?

So Thanksgiving break is coming, I needed a project, I have a 2-308 and a 260 AR, so I have decided to buy a barrel Blank and make a 22 -24 in barrel for my AR10(DPMS) and chamber it in 7mm-08 not sure why just never see them...I know R25 in a 20 inch is out there but I figure with a Premium barrel and slightly longer, it may be a winner ordered a 26 inch Shilein 1-9 twist CM Blank, I will parkerize it when finished. barrel arrived barrel is a Shilein, super Match CM 9 twist ===================================================== back from machine shop this one is 22 inches front of barrel is .845 I prepped it for blasting in the morning ============================================================ just finished parkerizing, now letting it sit over night

price lowered

heading out to the 1000 Yrd range tomorrow if it does not rain

not a great deal no but enough to get me back on target faster, I would say it makes a 3006 feel like a 308, thats the best way I can explain it Hope this helps

my shots here are out to 725 meters

no problem the krylon holds very weel

I already have a 26, 24, 20 and 18, in 308 just wanted something different, will shoot 400 yards this weekend, no goal, just having fun, and may use it for hunting this year, if I sell my 20 inch POF I sold my 26 it was too long, and sold the 18, too short I have kept the 24" DPMS and the 20" POF, I think I may be on to a good barrel length for a hunting rifle in SEMI, but that's just me

well 1st 15 rounds down the new barrel 1 and clean for the first 10, then this 5 shot group with American Eagle 168 OTM factory ammo, bottom shot was a called pull on my part. center to Center .763, I am sure it will get better as the barrel brakes in So over all not to bad room for improvement, will leave it for a few and see if it tightens up, if not, will go to 19 inch

thanks

yes troy, stock, heavy about 15 pounds, about .5 to 3/4 MOA

its not hard lay grass over the base coat and spray through it, glad yo all liked it

just got back from the lathe, barrel is cut 21 inch 11 Degree crown, will mount it tonight and shoot it tomorrow picked up 168 grain American Eagle Factory OTM for testing top is the 24 inch bottom 21 inch 11 degree crown

got the barrel in today will hit the lathe in the morning here is the upper its painted the same as my other, this one was in .243 I sold the barrel this photo shows where the 3inches is going to be cut

where I am stationed is a machine shop near by my office I use it and the Bridgeport often, to make muzzle brakes and face receivers, as well as cut new threads on barrel I am working on, so yep it is nice to have the toys available: wife wants me to take a NATO assignment to Northwoods that Branch is offering us next but I really am not interested in going to a country I cant bring my guns.

Roger, 1-10, 308, stainless Heavy Barrel, I carried the M21 in 22 inch barrel last tour in Iraq, did very well, well bottom line is if it does not perform I slap it back on the lathe and pop off 1 more inch down to 20.

Yep I know 18, 20 24, but why not 22 or 21, normal hunting rifles are 22 inch, any how It will be done <thumbsup> barrel should be here today then I will get the Lathe later today or Tuesday, when I cut it I will put a recessed 11degree crown on it as well Jgun; I do plan to use the lower and bolt carrier from my 24 inch I also use dedicated bolts as they can conform to the barrel trunnion of each individual barrel so it its not wise to keep transferring them, but why spend the extra $$$ for a carrier and parts when they can easily be changed, as you only shoot one gun at a time? and each of my guns have their own optics, my 24 inch has a Burris XTR on it now and the 21 inch will us a 2.5 X 10 Vortex Viper
