THIS! IS! 308AR!!

Are you storing your password and pasting it?

That's the hard part about getting older. While we used to be "strongest, fastest" that isn't so much anymore. One of our range officers is knocking at 70. His son in law, a deptuy, keeps telling him "You need to just avoid fighting altogether now. At your age, you're in the old woman category. Just shoot them!"

It is important to remember that each 308AR is a proprietary platform, although the DPMS and Armalite are the most imitated. That being said, I'm a Rock River Arms LAR-8 geek. Ambi bolt-stop and mag release. Haven't tried to fit an ambi safety selector but I believe it has been done. Don't cheap out on a .308 platform!

Touché. Yes. I believe it was stated there that warning shots don't do anyone any good.

If you train to use or are of the mindset that "a warning shot will scare them off," pay attention: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/03/15/a-man-claimed-he-stood-his-ground-with-a-warning-shot-a-judge-revoked-his-carry-permit/?utm_term=.47e9c5570a5f I agree that the CCW holder was way overstepping his bounds. In every state, the requirement for use of deadly force is that it be "immediately necessary" to protect life or limb. Like a buddy of mine in Cali said, make sure you know exactly what is happening, after he stopped two black men at gun point chasing a white car thief.

Yeah it does. I've handled the Italian replicas of the old iron and brass Henry. Slide the magazine follower up to the muzzle end to full compression, twist about 90° (IIRC), then drop the rounds in until the magazine is full. Twist the end back over and the follower snaps in behind that last round. An enterprising soldier with a tube could have reloaded that magazine uber fast.

In Arizona (and other states no longer honoring any kind of ban), the "pre-ban" is just a marketing ploy to get more cash by the seller. At current AR rifle prices, it is ridiculous to pay $1200 because it is "pre-ban," when current production for $1200 will get you a much nicer rifle. Of course if I was selling said rifle...

Hunh. Corn cob. And JT's from Iowa. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Not a pre-Constitution firearm but an interesting argument for identifying the Henry rifle as the first "sturmgewehr."

Welcome from Arizona! Looks like R2 can have a whole crew now for the drive out.

Welcome from Arizona!

Welcome from Arizona!

And to where in the tolerances the reamers were made, etc.

It's really too bad that people with potentially good products fail at the customer service. And production.

Nothing quite affects your memory like sore arms and shins.

Chess move. These are people with the discretion to drop lawsuits before they even get started.

Great find brother! Getting added to the favorites now. SS, I agree. I've seen many types of piston assemblies where misaligned aligned ring slots/gaps led to gas leakage and failures. Actually just watched a vid where a dude got a screaming deal on a Harley that wasn't running. The rear cylinder was fried because all the ring gaps were in a row.

Quite a bit on the physical layout and construction, as well as operation of the Oroville Dam:

Not sure about volume but my polymer RRA mags have a good 0.020"+ clearance on ammo. Seems like an ideal platform for heavies and bigger calibers.

Very impressive Ramblerman! I love that big slug poking out of the case. You are rekindling my desire to build a .358 Winchester LAR-8.

Welcome from Arizona!

Bummer. The little popup ads on there led me to this: https://secondunited.com/2017/03/04/legally-3d-print-gun/ Gotta love 3-D printer technology! So much so that the next popup showed me the U.S. Army approves of 3-D printing: https://secondunited.com/2017/03/08/us-army-3d-printed-grenade-launcher-worked/ <<<<<<<<< I've ruined the dancing banana guy with Mikedaddy's aerobic video. Ruined it.

Kermit the frog went commie!!

Wow. One of the instructor's kids' Mom was like that. Or her phones were like that. Two days after I mocked her for it, I dropped my armored up phone at the range and it landed on a pointy-tipped rock right on the screen. Cracked. I'm on this current phone like 2.5 years now. With a screen protector this time.
