I only see two fixes, bigger shim or trim down the barrel, maybe a JP jam nut instead of a shim???? https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPJN.58B.750

Cans are sitting at the LGS, they let me rob the flash hiders so I could start prepping the rifles, hard to walk away from them. They will let me bring a rifle in and shoot with them but I'm not big on shooting at a 20 yard indoor range, hitting the steel makes enough noise to require ear pro anyway so I'll wait till I get the stamps and head outdoors. Word is there are two people in Iowa that have gotten their stamps and they sent the paperwork in the day the law was signed, I'm three weeks behind them. I've got a 51T comp I scored on ebay for $50 but it has an even shallower threaded section than the standard 51T flash hider. I'd also prefer to stick with FH's since the rifles will be shot with the can 95%+ of the time, comps are said to cause the can to erode just a bit faster and have no benefit with the can on. I may just try it with the muzzle bottomed out since the actual crown would not be touching, not sure if it will carbon up faster and possibly interfere with the crown? It does cover all the threads when bottomed out so no issue there. Bottomed out will clock the FH a bit off but then symmetry doesn't really matter except in my anal retentive mind. LGS could not find any shims thicker than what I have. I'm going to get the Geissele gauge to check for anything off center before I shoot one so maybe I'll wait till I get one and check it both ways, shimmed and bottomed out. Just thought it was odd to have such a long threaded portion compared to other barrels I've messed with.

Getting my rifles set up in anticipation of receiving my tax stamps for cans I have waiting. I'm finding the threads on the muzzle of my AR-10B are extra long compared to my other rifles. I've stacked 8 shims to get it to clock where I want it, 2x 2mm, 4x .41mm,1x.25mm, 1x.075mm, .235 inch total when I measure the stack. Until this rifle I only used 3 max and none of them 2mm's. Will this be an issue? Should I try to find a larger shimm than the 2mm to cut down on the number? It is just a flash hider so should I just forget about clocking it and bottom it out on the muzzle with some rocksett on the threads and call it good? I haven't found any kits with larger shims available........... Measurements are .743 inch from the muzzle to the shoulder on the barrel, The 3 prong AAC 51T measures .563 inch from shoulder to where it bottoms on the muzzle.

How many rounds through the rifle? Are you running it real wet, like dripping oil? I would suggest trying some FGMM ammo, I know the Perfecta and the PMC Bronze are notoriously underpowered.

I may have to get a couple of these for gag gifts at Christmas time; http://alamedacustomholsters.com/The-Original-Tampon-Holster-TampHol.htm

Double check your bit sizes. The set I bought had numbers that didn't match what the chart said they should be, I ended up going by the measurements my caliper told me instead of the chart.

Glad to hear ya'll are up and running without too much damage Everyone would be hoping it is a slow moving storm, never enough scotch and hookers!

Yep, the incestuous pedophile is out of the picture now, still not sure they do anything I'd want to pay for. Always thought the show gave us gun nuts a bad rap.

Didn't that Son of a Gun show do something like that?

Looks like it had some life left. Noticed this from BAD while I was looking around for new sights today; http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/sights/front-sights/ar-15-fixed-clamp-on-front-sight-prod85934.aspx?avs|Special-Filters_1=New

......can't remember, must be all the hookers and blow from my youth.

Those were the days my friend.......... at least what I remember..........

I put less priority on them due more to what my old eyes are not doing than what others are doing!

Whew! saw parts on a scale and for a second I thought breast guy was back

Good deal, I'll buy MI before Troy any day, they must have recently started adding the colors. I'm feeling that same urge to buy ammo, harder to fight the urge to shoot it though!

Still waiting for the Bobro to come back in stock, using some Matech and Magpul right now for those few occasions I shoot irons. BUIS seem to always take a back seat to other parts for a new build, someday I may get caught up and have everything outfitted properly.....but then I'm still short a couple quality optics since that goal got put on hold for a suppressor buying binge.

Don't overlook d. wilson for a BCG, about an ounce heavier than the AIM but still has the FA serrations; http://www.dwilsonmfg.com/store/p6/Light_Weight_AR15_bolt_carrier_groups.html

Like this one; http://faxonfirearms.com/16-pencil-5-56-nato-mid-length-416-r-stainless-steel-qpq/ or this one at just a few ounces more than the faxon pencil profile; http://ballisticadvantage.com/16-inch-223-hanson-625-mid-ss-premium-barrel.html

I used a d. wilson lightweight BCG and a weightless buffer on a build. Once done tuning it it has run great, the wife is starting to spend more time shooting a rifle since she got it. It has near 400 rounds through it from cheap Perfecta 55 gr to MK 262 77 grain just a few clicks on the gas block and it functions reliably. Here is the thread with all the particulars, parts list, final weigh in, and pictures at the end of the first page;

I loved being a carpenter......just not that part! I could almost smell it from the pictures!

That is what the video shows, you can still operate it as usual though so I'm not seeing a downside except maybe the extra force required to operate the mag release button.

I've gotta try this Boonie Packer Redi-Catch; http://forwardcontrolsdesign.com/Boonie-Packer-Redi-Catch_p_37.html Roger will be getting some of my money for sure!
