  1. I keep looking at Ares Facebook page..comments are pretty funny. Every post they make gets overrun with trolls. They ought to just shut it down at this point.
  2. I mocked the scope up and it seemed to feel good with the eyepiece sitting just forward of the top of the folded down buis. With the raised rail, I get a good cheekweld with the scope center 1" over the rail. AD and GG&G both have non extended "bolt action" QD mounts in that range. All the extended mounts I'm looking at seem to be too tall.
  3. Initially it was reported the trigger was going to come with pins. Guess they dropped the idea.
  4. The mk262 and the ML118? If I'm not mistaken, the M110 uses the same rear sight? Considering I'm running a 16" barrel instead of the 20" of the M110 it might close the gap a little more.
  5. Dangit Rene. I never looked at the options for those randals. Now am dreaming about a fighter with the border patrol grip in black micarta.
  6. Say no more...
  7. And painfully expensive...even with the mil. Discount, and a 10% off sale. Reason there's no barrel or bcg yet lol. Glad I bought some ammo last month because I'll be broke till the end of the year
  8. Might take me a bit to get use to the extra bit of receiver rail in front of the sight assembly, but looks good! LMT makes a A2 sight assembly without the carry handle part. Just bolts on to the rear. Might look cool on there.
  9. I had every intention of a 14.5 in 308. That damn PRI top rail ruined it for me. Can't mount a buis on it and can't really cram a barrel mount sight on the end of that 14.5. Had to sacrifice that 2" lol
  10. Damn instigators Matrix receiver set from Chris (big thanks, and damn you...) I also ordered his LPK because I didn't want to deal with modifying and piecing stuff together. His LPK is direct drop in. No issues. Had a standard DPMS buffer setup and sopmod stock in the parts pile so well give it it a shot. PRI delta rail and SWAN sleeve. KAC 200-600 rear sight. These were designed for MK262 77gr 5.56 ammo, which is pretty close to some 308 ballistics. Well see how close when it's up and running. PRI gas block sight. SLR brake. Going to be running a 16" rifle gas barrel. Optic is a bushnell elite SMRS 1-6X. SFP BDC reticle. Plan on mounting in Warne QD rings, or a AD RECON SL mount depending on how much I can scrape together.

    My dad had a chrome German helmet with a spike on top. Said he found on some Buddhist shrine. He has a picture wearing it and holding a Thompson smg at one of the FOBs. lol. He kept the helmet but said the Tommy stayed in rotation between the radio guys that lived.
  12. Like a blank canvas....
  13. I saw that beast on a trailer at the truck stop in Tucson a couple months ago. Wonder if Ken was with them
  14. Does anyone even make BCGs without fancy coatings anymore? What's a brother got to do to keep it old school?

    That's a long tour!
  16. 2 left. Also going to list my Eagle H harness. Ranger green. New condition. Doesn't really suit my purposes. $55 shipped.
  17. Good to go lash...he's just making fun of the other board that gave you grief
  18. I had the day off for my bday. Phone woke me up. Post was locked down and It took me about an hour to get on. Got stuck on QRF and lived in the dayroom of the MP barracks for about a month until someone else rotated in. We were locked and loaded for 12 hours a day, hummers parked in the grass right out the front door. Rushing out every time someone left a TO-GO box on a bench. I think every unit had armed guys on 24s for a few months after it happened.
  19. Mmmmmm mega. Good choice.
  20. 13.5 Will cover the gas block. 12 or 12.5 are usually right up to gas block. Sometimes that extra half inch in the description depends on how they measure it. My PRI rails are listed as 12.5 and expose the gas block. Look for it to specify "rifle length"
  21. More like "I paid $1500 for this AR after Sandy hook and I've shot it twice, but I'm totally ready for SHTF cuz it has some sweet upgrades. Check out this triggeBANG"
  22. And in general, wannabes are the types to come out and do this. This is the sort of thing we should have local militias for. Actual trained civilians that don't feel the need to play show and tell and wave at the camera. We have stereotyped ourselves out of a valuable civil resource.
  23. And then the old guys sitting on the porch telling stories. "Remember salt? Use to be so cheap we just poured it on the ground...."
  24. I remember a popular science article back in the early '90s about HK experimenting with caseless. They couldn't get around the ammo cookoff issue in full auto. Once they started, the gun just ran away until you ripped the belt or mag out.
