  2. I'll have to check the brand...but I'm not sure they failed. Right when it hit a smoke alarm and my disconnected home alarm both chirped. Anyone know if lightning strikes cause some sort of EMP effect? Maybe just a burst of static? The TV and modem still power on...they just don't do anything else. Our cell phones both went a little crazy too and we had to reset them several times to get them working. I knew it hit us because I could smell it, and it was LOUD. I told my wife to check all the rooms and then we heard neighbors yelling outside. My outside lighting is toast also. Had a ground light right at the base of the.tree. The breaker was tripped and pops soon as I flip the lights on now.
  3. Lightning hit the big palm trees in front of my house about an hour ago. Went up like a Molotov cocktail. the wind was howling and blew the fire away from my house thankfully. the whole corner of my yard is black and most of the bushes are gone. 2 TVs and a modem are toasted despite being on surge protectors. I'll try and get some pics up. Pretty scary stuff. After the year I've had I'm not sure I could handle my house burning.
  4. Jsesurplus.com has RRA 10 and 20 rd mags. Some BCGs and DPMS mags too. On the home page. Just a heads up.
  5. They have a 14.5!
  6. Nice. Where did the FSB come from? I never see them in stock. For what's its worth....I think the MOE handguard looks like it was made for a dissy.
  7. Well...if ya need to get rid of that BCM on the cheap... :)
  8. He's saying its a feature that doesn't hurt...so why not? If you have a long rail...there's only one way for it to interface with a sights base. I suppose someone could make a permanent attachment point...but why bother when the screw will secure it and give you the option to adjust your setup. If it really bothers you...break out some epoxy or JB weld. Just hope you don't change your mind. I know I swap my rifle parts around like Legos.
  9. When something breaks I usually use some google fu to see if its something I can handle. Tier 2 is to call in the father in law who can fix anythin...or has a buddy who can. I bought all new appliances with my house and got the super extended warrantee deals. I should be good for a while.
  10. Well...thanks to the enabler in chief.....all my EBRs will have MOE+ grips now. I have cabelas gift cards and that place doesn't carry any fun parts so I bought a pile of grips lol.
  11. So now they need to come up with a ambi bolt release like magpul BAD that works on 308s!
  12. Most of the stupid in CA comes from the "better than you" set that consider Marin Co and SF bay area Mecca, so that imaginary line wouldn't help you out much. most of my CA family is in that area so I have some first hand knowledge.
  13. Man...I'm here trying to trade my 30s for 20s...and they keep cranking it up!!
  14. Can we call it "a" dusk til dawn and not "the" dusk til dawn. I highly doubt anything resembling Selma is anywhere near that poop hole.

  16. While I agree that the factory should be able to give you measurements when you want them...I also agree you might be working a little to hard at this. Pull upper....look down bore...line it up on a target...check sights...adjust as needed. I just did this with 2 Scopes and an eotech last weekend and first Shots were on the paper.
  17. BCGs showed up today. look really nice. FA chrome lined carriers. gas key staked nice. bolt marked MPI. all black, looks like phosphate coating. were boxed individually, in zip lock bags, in bubble wrap, and the boxes were shrink wrapped together. also came with lube/cleaning/assembly instructions. several pages long with pictures. very happy with them for $98 shipped. Shadow Ops came on the other forum in response to people bitching about the wait time. they made it clear that they got shafted when their suppliers raised prices, but they werent going to pass on that shafting to the group buy. said they actually lost money at $98 if you factor in labor and packaging. very stand up company. they said they have about 1000 more on the way, but i think they are closer to $130 now.
  18. Lol...pretty sure only vets will get the Jody reference
  19. got her out today. ran like a Rolex right out of the box. used some M118, XM80C, PPU 147g, little bit of FGMM. decided to push my luck and try some crap ammo too. had no issues with steel cased herters and some ugly Indian milsurp with a '75 headstamp. ran on Pmags and factory DPMS mag. no misfires of any kind. bolt locked back every mag. just ran flawless and im a happy camper. accuracy..... were not gonna go there right now <dontknow> laid bullets on top of each other to zero. opened up a bit at 100. im blaming me for now. spent the morning with my 5.56 guns and it was getting ugly hot by the time i started working on the 308. stock trigger is really bad and was literally making my finger sore. i also worked a double yesterday. got off at 2AM, and woke up to head to the range at 5AM lol. overall, super happy with the rifle. cant wait to get back out and do some real work.
  20. It starts when the alarm clock goes off.
  21. Met with Planeflyer to score some parts. Thanks jon!
  22. Troy and apex fit. Probably a few others...but most are made to match the old height.
  23. Is it chambering rounds? Just saw another thread on these and the guy said it wasn't feeding very well.
  24. Lol...looks like a cartridge conversion...but funny either way.
  25. Militant Muslim. Imagine that. he must not use Verizon.
