Makes you wonder, ammo is coming down all over the place but primers, especially large rifle primers, are still real scarce to non-existent, that bottleneck needs fixed.

If you put ten in the cart with code PMAG today they are under $7.50 each to your door, is this an investment opportunity or can they get cheaper? https://palmettostatearmory.com/magpul-pmag-30-5-56x45-magazine-mag571-blk.html

You'll swap a SSA-E for this trigger? https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-custom-ar-3-5-lbs-match-grade-drop-in-trigger-flat-116055.html

Welcome from Iowa!

Been wanting a progressive press for years, now that I can make the press happen the lack of primers makes me think what for, even ten thousand large rifle primers on hand doesn't warrant the extra speed.

My local shop has bought a bunch of those from them to build some deer rifles. Early on the ports were small, first few he got. After that they went with a Tubbs flat wire buffer spring to fix reliability issues they were having. I think they build on Aero parts, I know they were using the short buffers in the carbines, seemed like the Armalite carbine kit would have been a better route for them but what do I know. Are you having the same issue with Pmags?

Should be smoothing out some by now. Read that waterboarding thread and put all the data here, it'll get diagnosed pretty quick if all the info is here.

Expect that with a suppressor, I've seen it all my rifles, including a Sig piston gun. You'll want to give it a few boxes of shells to mate up with opposing parts and get a carbon seal on the gas system. These large frames often start out sluggish but break in fine. Worst case you might have to open the port a bit, no big deal if needed.

You could try it and see, it's all about the balance between all the players, it's not gonna beat the rifle up or anything. If you have any issues I would say that would be top of the list to swap. Wilson Combat has an odd length gas tube or two.

That's gonna cost me...........

Still not a peep, they have said nothing beyond they are investigating. Brad has been suspended from his Chiefs job, they sighted the city could not have the appearance of criminality from the chief so he is suspended until it's worked out. I got two replies on the letters, one from Brad and one from my state rep, radio silence from the media beyond repeating the atf press release, no editorials accepted. They got nothing, nothing but the right to intimidate anyone as they see fit, that they have in spades now. I guess it's not a trial so they can drag schit out as long as they like, nobody can stop them at this point.

With the quiet quitting, rat your neighbor programs, and just flat incompetence of the government it's looking more and more like the Atlas Shrugged world, I ain't seen any soma yet. Even if their destination is set we can help ourselves by making paths very difficult for them, humans run the system and they are lazy and stupid humans being chose to run things these days, they will take the easy way if they can get by with it. Be the water in the oil, they have to change the whole damn thing for a bit of water or risk blowing the motor.

I felt a little nauseous a few times......... but then it's hard for me to throw stones when strippers and coke are involved....damn that's a lot of strippers and coke!

If the bolt is sound and headspaces on the barrel then it's technically OK to shoot it. I would still recommend having a dedicated BCG for an upper, parts that slide together should ride together.

^^^ Yep, bet they line up with the extension ramp lugs.

Looks pretty normal, just smooth it up with lots of ammo.

Not as easy as the Loctite.... 509...609....? I forget the number. I've never seen any slop after the barrel nut is tight, most likely don't really need the loctite but it calms my ocd.

I use liquid shim, lazy but it worked so far.

Don't be so sure, some of that early stuff was very machine hour and hand fit heavy, a true reproduction would be a major investment to manufacture if you could find the qualified help! There would be enough "Hi Points" step in to make them available though, whether I want one or not I'm all for it.

^^^ What he said, run an A2 or stick with using the rail.

I got in on something like that, objective for the day, burn up that pallet, I had no clue or care why. It actually started to feel like work after an hour or so, tore up hands from loading mag after mag. Short of a last ditch hail Mary from a defensive position in the dark, grazing fire, I got no use for full auto, right now, times change but I can't see a benefit for me now. I almost shouldn't mention it but my thoughts are that modern optics have added more lethality to the AR than any giggle switch can ever accomplish.

Seemed like it was, I remember something about a divorce, the owner was a looker if I remember correctly, I checked, they took down the picture of her on a bike, maybe things have changed.

Sure thought there was one more current than this.
