Rene remember Al gore invented the internet....where would we be without him....lol :) Wash get a rope!

I was going thru some boxes in the garage and found some pics of back in the day....this pic has the baby motor in it :) Wash

LOL now thats what I call a sporting event ! no bronze no silver....just the gold :) Wash

daaaaamn :) Wash

Thanks Rene.....yeah thats the ticket -50 Hahaha :) Wash

44 here's some info This is not the optimal method of securing upper receiver for any work where the barrel nut is involved. Contrary to author's claims, it DOES put additional stress on the receiver extension index pin and the upper itself when the barrel nut is tightened. Think about it: you are fastening the barrel nut to the upper receiver. These are the two parts that torque needs to be applied to for that nut tightening action to occur. If you don't use the traditional method (the upper receiver clamped in the vice using a receiver block), and instead fix the barrel extension in the vice by using this tool, then the barrel extension would have to transfer full torque that you apply to the barrel nut wrench (up to 80 ft-lbs) to the upper receiver through that little index pin and square notch cut in the receiver (made of aluminum alloy)! Not a good idea. This simply CAN'T HAPPEN HAPPEN when using the traditional method (upper receiver clamped in a action block) as there is very little to no torque applied to that pin when tightening the barrel nut. All interaction is between the upper receiver and the barrel nut, the barrel extension simply sits in between. Yes you might mar the finish. Oh the tragedy. This "reaction rod" could be suitable for working with muzzle devices though: it would put zero torque on that pin when you tighten the muzzle brake. But clamping the barrel in a barrel block works just as well. Or stepping on the FSB, for that matter ;) and this: RocketScientist thatguy • a year ago − Cthulhu is correct. The Geissele website can say whatever it likes, the simple laws of mechanics say otherwise. Drawing a free-body-diagram of the three-member system comprising the barrel/extension, the reciever, and the barrel nut make what Cthulhu is saying clearly true. An attempt to describe the relationship in wirting: As you apply torque to the barrel nut, it attempts to rotate and once snugged up this angular (rotational) motion is resisted (via the engaging threads) by the upper receiver. If the receiver is instilled in a typical clamshell vise block, the applied torque is transferred through the receiver into the vise-block, to the vise, to the workbench, etc. If instead the Geissele Reaction Rod is used, the torque must be transferred from the receiver to the receiver index pin on the barrel extension, to the Reaction Rod, to the vise, etc. In the first instance (using the common clamshell vise block) the barrel/extension see no torque (and hence no stress applied to the receiver index pin) and is simply compressed between the receiver and the barrel nut. When using the Reaction Rod, ALL off the torque passes through the barrell/extension, placing significant shear stress on the pin and tear-out stresses on the cutout in the receiver. Conversely, when applying torque to the barrel itself (muzzle device installation, etc) using a clamshell vise-block puts the stress through the index pin, while using the Reaction Rod would keep it stress free. and I dont want anything locking into my new chamber unless its the new bolt that is going to be used with that chamber :) Wash

Hey Beach...that gun you have/had is a ghost gun....in a defensive situation it will make a ghost out of you...lol :) Wash

Hey its 3am...had to get up and make sure the pipes are okay :binkybaby: its almost 33 tonite Wash bbbbrrrrrrr

praying for her....ill get a check off :) Wash

you guys are such weeenies....we had 1/4 inch here the other day...and today it was a freezing 50 degrees :binkybaby: Wash

44 like I said in my first post Ha you will get this...not a reach around...lol my quizzical mind wants to know why you dont want the claw? at proper torque value you wouldn't flex your upper .....the barrel nut is very close to the position of the end of the claw...and the claw holds the upper firmly in position inside the upper :) Wash

44 lemme know how it works for you :) Wash

Dave you just dont need that rod....the clam shell/claw will do you right..i went and read bout that rod...the tester said it prevented flex of the receiver at 1oo lbs torque....if you are at 100lbs torque..you are over the limit anyway....I've always used the claw,,,,it works everytime...dont waste ur money :) Wash

All you need is the claw .....rod? thats what they slide up ur azz for 200 bills,,,lol :) Wash http://www.jsesurplus.com/dpms308pantherreceiverclaw.aspx

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured. Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched - with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?" "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish." :) Wash

Rene the bird was cold by the time Char found me in a drift Ha ! :) Wash

Sisco this reminds me of years gone by.... " The salt water makes for a hard salty crust on the outside. Needs no more seasonings except pepper. Enjoy. Since I tried this I don't cook them any other way. " So in my waaay younger days I had a lil bit of gambler in me...used to go to Vegas a couple of times a month....so one night we ate in a lil resturant rright off the casino floor at the DI...it was for special folks lol....there was a spot in the wall that opened when the shift manager got the high sign to let people in Well I ordered what they called a Hobo steak.....so after drinking and munching out ,the waiter brings out dinner.....he brings me a big block of salt on a platter...WTF? He then takes out a wooden mallet and smacks the block of salt to reveal a big ol filet mignon.....I can still see that thing...lol....and it wasnt salty but crusty and oh so good! :) Wash

If it were me....I would purchase a dpms complete upper to match your dpms lower....so you dont end up with a mismatched rifle...it would be worth a lil more than a frankengun.. :) Wash

Hunker down turkey...almost a 1/4 inch of snow....lol 6lb turkey breast...put pecan rub under skin along with a stick of butter mushed up put pecan rub on skin along with billy bobs rub....inject another stick of melted butter into breast smoker temp 325...put breast over pan of water bath that has chicken boullion and onions baste with jalapeño honey 1 hr into smoking remove breast when internal is 175 :) Wash 2hrs in... ready to pull off go for it....

lookin great! :) Wash

looks good so far.....whacha gonna do for a barrel? :) Wash

Can you imagine your heart pounding while skiing,then shooting bulls eyes ...got give them their creds! :) Wash

Welcome from Texas Sig :) Wash

I found a used condom with Angelina Jolie's dna stuck to a genuine colt sp1 butt stock :) Wash

So its 25 degrees outside...time to fire up the grill....we gotta keep our strength up...could get a 1/4 inch of snow...brrrr brave the cold ...go get a couple of pounds of t-bone...rub em douse em with soy/worstershire...burn em :) wash
