    NEW BUILD

    Why worry, in the scheme of things these pencil barrels are cheap, burn it up and change it out.
  4. WWIII in progress. Putin will fill the vacuum we have left in the Middle East. Question is do we fold, pick up our chips and go home or double down on the next deal? Obama's repeated ante and fold when raised is getting us nowhere fast!
  5. Is the code still good, doesn't work from my phone?
  6. I'm finding the discount won't help much, the scope you asked about would be $689. I checked the Razor HD lineup prices and found the same thing, cheaper on several sites than using the discount. Looks like they are basically recruiting Vets and LEO's as free salesman with the referral program.
  7. Got signed up, looks like there is a discount for referrals as well. You get 5% of the total on the first order from a person you referred. PM me your name RCNut and I'll put you down when I make an order And anyone here feel free to put Jim Allen as your referral contact
  8. It has the NATO cross on the headstamp so it has to be fairly decent. I shot a bunch of their 5.56 and it was as good as any other NATO ammo I have used.

  10. Excellent article! These are the kind of reviews I pay attention to, not some mall ninja practicing in his living room and putting it on YouTube...........
  11. According to Todd you are ahead of the curve. The 260 is more capable by about 100fps but the 6.5 has a better factory ammo selection. It looks like that may be changing though with more big name competitors using the 260, those sponsors need to sell new kit so you can count on ever changing fads.
  12. Long range guys like Todd Hodnett are pushing the 260 Rem as the next hot cartridge; http://www.recoilweb.com/todd-hodnett-the-long-range-cowboy-108460.html the actual ballistic difference in some of those cartridges are so slight it can boil down to fads and marketing as to which one dominates at any given time.
  13. Funny on the face of it but I guess I see it different. She did the interview to humanize herself, like self deprecating humor. It didn't damage her in the slightest, if anything it made a mockery of the issues like her email scandal by making a joke of it, thereby inoculating her against real criticism on it. Zach is no friend of the conservative, just look back on more of his interviews and statements, he is a shill for the ultra left libs.

  15. Certainly not fast enough..........
  16. Wouldn't want them deleted, better to leave them for future reference on how big a douche you can be........
  17. So on the qualification range it is metal only but when it counts in the sand box P-Mags are allowed, this backs up your metal is better argument how?

  19. This is on the issue they recalled a lot of L5's for, saw this same video when I searched, every other review and comparison put Lancers at or near the top, nothing on crumbling...........
  20. I newb's defense I have worn a groove in my 10 round P-mags from shooting FGMM 175's and M118 LR's and posted about it here. The groove is so slight it is inconsequential though and has never been an issue. I did look for info about Lancer mags crumbling, didn't find a thing on that, broken followers but they were recalled. I'd be interested in seeing first hand info on bad Lancer L7 mags?????
  21. Lancer did have an issue and recalled a bunch of magazines, the videos I have seen relate to these, people slamming Lancer without realizing there was a recall. I'm not going to beat on my lancer mags but I'm pretty confident in them. Haven't heard of any issues with Lancer 308 mags.
  22. From what I understand the M118 version is just a bit larger, Magpul puts a disclaimer on its web page; "To accommodate longer than SAAMI-spec match ammunition, this magazine may not drop free from all makes of lower receivers." I'll measure the outside difference when I get home in a couple weeks, got me curious now. I think some it may be marketing but even .010 in can make a big difference when handloading. What puzzles me most is that they do not make a 10 round M118 version since most people will be shooting the longer match ammo from a bench????
  23. As Shane said the difference is the COL they will handle, M118 P-Mag at 2.835 and a standard gen 3 P-Mag at 2.825 for the mags I have. They both work the same for me in the two rifles I have that run P-Mags. The M118 mag is a 25 round mag but don't really use it due to being so long, I actually use a 10 round P-Mag the most because it works the best when shooting from a bench; https://forum.308ar.com/topic/12319-magpul-m118-gen-3-p-mags-review/#comment-169443 Palmetto State Armory runs a special every so often that bundles P-Mags and some ammo but I don't see it now, still have decent prices though; http://palmettostatearmory.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=p-mag+lr I've also got some good deals from Primary Arms; http://www.primaryarms.com/ar-308-magazines/c/110700/ The Lancer mag gets top reviews from most everyone that tries them, here is a thread with some close up pictures of one. The bolt catch height issue I mention turned out not to be an issue, never had a problem with the Lancer, never had a problem with a P-Mag either though; https://forum.308ar.com/topic/12327-lancer-l7awm-20rd-magazine-reviews/#comment-169584
  24. Buy what your rifle likes best and you can afford, proper storage will handle the rest.
  25. Haven't shot the 320 put I did get to dry fire one a bit, very nice trigger for a striker gun. If I ever buy [plastic that may be what I go with.
