  1. Both stocks gone, shut'er down.
  2. They don't always have the slanted rear. I have 2 com tubes here with flat backs.
  3. As long as the Oracle comes with a commercial buffer tube it will swap right in. Good call on the ACS. Awesome stock. One of my favorites.
  4. If it's not light..it will at least be pretty!
  5. There was a thread in here where someone was arguing that his LWRC M6A2 was God's gift to the AR platform. Someone else posted an article written by a guy who runs one of those Vegas gun ranges with all the cool rental toys. I'm pretty sure that place is harder on guns than even military service, and his experience was the piston guns can't hang with that type of abuse. I don't feel like digging it up but maybe someone else can post it.
  6. Good hustle anyway lol
  7. Free float main purpose is to keep any pressure off barrel for the sake of accuracy. Side bonus is being able to run a handguard longer than your gas system. You can hang stuff off of non floated handguards just as well as floated. There was a article a while back where a guy showed some pretty big POI changes with non floated handguards and a bipod. Obviously wouldn't be as bad with a piston since the weight of the gun isn't resting on the end of the barrel, but I'd think it would have more affect then a gas block. Only reason I brought it up is because it seems it wouldn't be as good from a competition standpoint. I was just thinking out loud though. I have no experience, and no desire to own or build a piston AR. the system wasn't designed to work that way and its just different for the sake of being different for as I'm concerned. I have zero of the problems a piston is suppose to fix.
  8. Doesn't that heavy piston system clamped to the barrel defeat the purpose of freefloating?
  9. Also an ignighter (ignition control module) will kill spark if it dies.
  10. Wish I could be of some help....but all I can think about is falkor the luck dragon lol
  11. Wonder if the SR762 carrier looks like that one.
  12. Couple of us had the same issue with that roll pin. Best option is to run over to ace hardware and get one slightly larger. There's a great deal on a barrel/bolt/gas block in the sale forum. I think geistacwm has a barrel to sell as well.
  13. Like tool said...just Google the model/engine and you can find instructions to jumper the obd plug if there is a check light on.
  14. Don't think older Hondas are interference engines depending on which engine so cranking won't hurt it. Quick Google will tell you. Timing belt could have let go and would give you those symptoms but I'd definitely check spark and fuel first. You could always crack the banjo bolt at the fuel rail and have someone key it to get the pump to kick on.
  15. Gorgeous! I'd like to do this to all my guns, but I swap parts around too often. Have yet to find a muzzle device that I fall in love with. Finally shot the VG6 gamma on my 5.56 gun after all the hype and meh. Think I liked the stag comp better.
  16. Well....that's pretty Damn cool.
  17. I've only replaced one set, and they burnt bad. Not sure what happened but it wasn't wear and tear. I have a family member with an early 80s colt that far as I know is still on its original rings with many thousands of rounds.
  18. Just to throw this out for future reference, DPMS hasn't made the "high" rail uppers in years. Any new DPMS branded gun or stripped upper will be low. Some other companies still use the high pattern though. Also, lots of bad reviews on those qd rails. Will only tighten down so many times before they start to wear out. Just can't see any reason whatsoever to need that option. I'd consider something else if you plan on a new one.
  19. Those do look neat, but there's a few instances of failure on the big forums. Think I'll wait till they get some tenure. Also, I'm still a little disappointed in trijicon for bailing on that vets discount they offered last year.
  20. Somehow I think you will survive with an acog lol. I am liking my aimpoint M4, but I'd still like to get hold of a T1

    Pri is top notch stuff.
  24. Considering he posted pics of the complete functioning rifle 5 months ago, I'd say you probably jumped the gun on your criticism. Nice pointless thread resurrection though.
