50k units aint replacing anything. Maybe looking for a new squad DMR or something. army is too cheap to outfit every grunt with 7.62..plus its heavy and takes up more space. 7.62x51mm caliber? TFB is slipping. Few days ago they made a big deal about sig P320s not being drop safe and getting banned from duty for texas LEOs. Turned out to be bs.

New rule....first day of the shoot everyone has to wear target bought fatigues.

Every man must answer that question for himself.

I can say for sure from experience timney(ar15 version) and velocity have issues with hard 308 primers. I had an RRA trigger that would hit the bottom of the carrier and lock the gun up. Just had to remove a small amount of materiel to fix it but it happens.

You might want to take that pic down before AR15.COM sends you a cease and desist letter for copyright infringement.

AR15 triggers usually work in 308s, but not all 308s are built to the same spec so occasionally there are combos that dont play nice. Some have issues setting off milsurp primers but most factory ammo pops fine.

I dont know for sure he was a RSO. may have just been a register monkey, but he was an employee so it doesnt make a huge difference to me. I thought of 100 things I wish I said or did soon as I got home, but at that moment I was just kinda dumbfounded. I never look at the business end of a barrel unless its removed from the firearm.

Went to the indoor range this morning to play with the Q5. as im cleaning up, some ladies come over and ask me to "fix their gun". Its one of those bull barrel .22s with brass stuck in the chamber. Must have been pounding on it because it was practically staked in. I manage to get it out but I dont know how to take those apart and didnt care enough to try so I suggested they ask the range guy to run a cleaning rod through it just to be sure there wasnt a squib. Range expert struts over to investigate while im talking to them. Says im sure its fine. I agree, and say id still check to be sure. Just takes a sec. Mr range expert takes the gun from the lady, spins it around and looks down the muzzle...says "its fine" and then points it at my face to show me. I instinctively duck sideways and the douchebag LAUGHS and says "its obviously unloaded" and shakes his head at me. I just stared at him..said wow.. (because I was speechless at that point) and walked out. this is why I shoot in the desert.

lol its cool. My last 308 took about a year. PRI raw carbon handguards are gorgeous...and battle tested. Absolute top quality. Im a fan. I have the black ones on almost all of my rifles.

Year and a half and you are just now putting the gun together? Sounds like one of my builds!

First instinct was china-mart or fake store...but looks like that might be a real place! Smokin deal if it is. If it shows up and they have any more in stock id grab one!

Good price. Brownells is a forum sponsor also so if you buy from them remember to go through the banner link up above. Helps keep this place going. I saved that link in my favorites so my brownells shopping always gives the forum credit.

Hows the tension on the extractor? Broken spring maybe?

any Dpms compatible upper should fit your lower...but there is always some risk when mixing manufacturers with these big frame guns. someone will probably chime in with personal experience, but if you stick with a reputable company you should be ok. I believe Aero Precision use the high rail and are solid uppers.

ah yess...the goofy "target" height upper strikes again. DPMS doesn't make the "high" uppers anymore so you will most likely need to find a DPMS compatible upper made by someone else. The manufacturers usually specify what profile they use in their product description.

In the past ive used sections of bike inner tube around the rail.

I do need a ppk/s in my life. A coworker has one and is always "considering" selling it but he wants too much. I need to catch him on a broke day.

I prefer the euro style mag release in the trigger guard to the standard button but they dont make the Q5 in that configuration. Im trying to trade frames with someone who has a PPQ classic. The slides are interchangeable but the classic uses the same mags as my P99.

C-130 flight out of BIAP was about the pukiest flight ive ever been on. Those things are brutes.
