Welcome from Iowa, via Missouri!

Welcome from Iowa, via Missouri! I will be paying close attention to that build, been thinking about a .358 build since Wilson Combat started making the barrels for it.

Don't lube the case or chamber, lube the crap out of the BCG. Looks like some pretty sharp edges around those feed ramps/lugs. I have used a small jewelers file to smooth that kind of thing out but you have to take the barrel off to really get at them. It looks like the receiver does not have any ramps, @98Z5V has posted pictures of correct feed ramps in many of the threads here, a dremel can get you the proper ramps with minimal effort. I have also had to polish a chamber some to stop the sticking.

Then I am not following how the gas used to make the rifle function would come at your face, some residual gas yes but how would it stop function?

So if the screw worked loose it could be propelled at your face when you fire? Not sure I would care for that arrangement.....for sure be using loctite and checking it regular!

Welcome from Iowa, via Missouri! Build one from Aero receivers, gives you the chance to select everything yourself, we will help you lighten your wallet....I mean select good quality parts.

Roads? Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads DIPA brewed and canned for Hoof Hearted Brewing by Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore NY. A sweet citrus aroma with a hint of bread. Hop gravy, so good, makes me stutter. There is a hint of lemonade, ripe orange akin to a creamsicle. I get some pineapple, melon, and some floral notes. Ends with a tingly orange pith but not overly dry pith, just gets better and better as it warms, smooth schit . This is a hop bomb, a fresh hop bomb, go get some if you can, unless you are headed to where there are no roads which isn't a bad idea right now.

You will not be disappointed

Another apropos title for the times, Are We Having Fun Yet? Double dry hopped party pale ale brewed and canned for Hoof Hearted Brewing by Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore NY. Aroma is a mild citrus, orange blossom came to mind with the first whiff. Mouthfeel is above average by a good bit, silky smooth, light, creamy, a touch of that oily feel. Flavor starts a little citrusy then I get that tropical fruit note, maybe passion fruit. Finishes a little pithy dry with that fresh cut grass note and some floral hints. SO easy to drink and a very unique flavor, I'm having fun now!

Ouch!

Paint some dykem on the tube and see where it rubs, sometimes you can tweak them a bit. I have the best luck when using a tube specifically for the large frame AR, Armalite and White Oak Armament are two that I prefer. The large frame tends to need a slightly earlier bend to clear some barrel nuts.

Fired up the landlords grill, caught filet mignon on sale at wally world this morning, forgot how good those things are!

Appropriate titled beer for the times, Only Hell Can Save Us Now double dry hopped milkshake IPA brewed by Dorchester Brewing Boston Mass. For Abomination Brewing Co., distributed by 12%. Mild fresh cut grass and floral aroma. There is so much going on in the flavor, tropical fruit, guava and a tart berry up front going to a slightly bitter grassy floral taste. There is some of that citrus pith dryness but it is held back by the sweet from the vanilla and lactose. At the end I am left with the passion fruit and raspberry hints. Good but not the best from Abomination, maybe leave out all the fruit additions and let the hops shine more.

I have seen some pretty good size chunks of lead removed from soft points, it can be a pain to clean up and can't do much for accuracy. I would look at hollow points or any of the polymer tipped hunting bullets mout there, with all the choices no reason to use soft points.

That guy might just show up if you keep poking him!

Didn't even look at the thread title.........been a long week.

Welcome from Iowa, via Missouri! Sounds like the Marines need more practice ammo, they should be shooting every day!

P17 you mean? I love mine, shoots lights out for something of that vintage.

I have done some side by side off bags with my low mass AR15 and a pretty standard carbine with H2 buffer, I noticed more movement through the scope on the standard carbine but you would have to be a real fast shot to get the advantage the low mass gives you. For me the most telling difference is the round count, from wife to grandkids they always pick that low mass rifle for the range so it gets near three times the rounds fired than the other AR-15's, it's been very reliable beyond one incident with the nib flaking and causing the ejector to stick, still feel better about using the standard carbine with the H2 buffer as a personal defense weapon.

The more mass the more the barrel wants to dip when the bolt slams home, you would have to shoot a lot in rifles set up with opposite weights to even notice though.
