  1. Welcome from Iowa, via Missouri!
  2. We had a couple copperheads living under the crane mats at our job. Since it’s a crime to even harass the wildlife in a national park we just left them alone.......... that’s my story and anyone who says different is a liar...........
  3. Check out Fulton Armory’s high pressure bolt, their whole BCG is a sweet piece of machinery for a good price. Many others prefer the 260, boils down to a reloading question, do you? If you do then 260 is the deal. Many of the pros prefer it. https://www.recoilweb.com/todd-hodnett-the-long-range-cowboy-108460.html
  4. Used a couple, without trigger, in the 308 platform and never had an issue. I do swap the bolt catch for a Sig 716 catch but that is a preference and not a needed swap. Never heard of it. If you want trouble free then buy an Armalite buffer kit and be done. Get one that fits, there is AR-15 rifle size and Armalite AR-10 size, depends on what the barrel maker uses for specs. Find out what your barrel/bolt maker uses and buy a set of gauges like them. It can be adjusted, hell man went to the moon, not sure I would want to do either.
  5. Welcome from Iowa, via Missouri. Riddle me this, what was the last "reasonable" gun control measure that satisfied the left? They will not stop until they have your guns or can be assured you have no ammo. I remember getting carded in Cape Girardeau Missouri to insure I was not an Illinois resident buying ammo............... Plenty of members here align with your gun control thoughts, just not me.
  6. I laugh, not at you but with you! I just wondering what the list would look like if I started digging into the storage drawers and boxes myself. There is a for sale section here, list it cheap enough and it will have a home in my drawer
  7. OK, no responses, if you need an extra ten round magpul spring just post up why I should send it to you.
  8. Sounds like a good excuse for a build 👍 No primer strike is what ended my BO’s thousand rounds without cleaning run. There was carbon packed into the front portion of the firing pin channel, cleaned it out and no issue since. Amazing how much gunk a suppressor deposits.
  9. Man you got robbed, the weird dreamy schit was the only part worth remembering, past that I felt death was over rated. Glad you’re back with us Brother, hope you have a speedy recovery 👍

    Grilling

    Caught that on instagram, fuk that makes me hungary!
  11. They are critical just not a safety issue like headspace, most don't show up here till after they tried to fire the weapon and had problems. With a little time on the search engine here you will quickly see a pattern develop for PSA rifles, they have had recoil system issues. PSA has regularly changed the components so we don't know what you have, the measurements and pictures will help diagnose any issues, post them up now and I'm sure you will get some input on them. Grow a third hand! Take it slow and the little things like this will show themselves, you'll have your own method that works for you in no time.
  12. Don't oil the mag, wipe it clean, use a dry lube if you need to lube it. Here is the basics, a search here will give you every angle you need on headspace.
  13. Last two PSA parts kits I used had an extra detent and spring in them. I imagine the roll pin is for the trigger guard you didn't need. Check the headspace, a must do safety thing if you build it yourself. Check and see if the bolt will lock back, insert magazine, pull charging handle to the rear, bolt catch should be holding the bolt on the face. If those checks are good then put one round in the mag, chamber it and fire, the bolt should be locked back. If it's not report back with a picture of the gas tube ending in the upper receiver, your buffer tube inside length, buffer length and weight, and spring length with coil count.
  14. Rotting Earth Double Dry Hopped DIPA, there be hops in this schit! One of those drawn out by and for things 12% are the distributors, Dorchester Brewing made it and canned it for Abomination Brewing Co. The beer pusher was wrong, this is a better beer than his best. Aroma up front is a pineapple, mango tropical fruit with just a hint of malt, still smells like beer. Flavor is off the charts tropical fruit and layers of it. There is that dry bitter component present all the way through, like you would expect from a double double IPA. I need to make the drive today and buy more………
  15. I can see it now, Christmas break I'll still be swapping springs to try a certain combo that maybe I like a little better than the other perfect set I liked the last time In was home but I'm not sure so better swap it again..............
  16. Did a little work on an ESEE 3MIL to give as a birthday gift, my oldest Granddaughter's boyfriend of four years now. He liked hers when he saw it, since they will both be freshmen at Iowa so I etched his jersey number into it along with the factory marks then blued them. and of course stropped it to stupid cut yourself sharp. Filed the spine flat for some 90 degree spine action. Now if I could just find the Iowa gold color in grips it would be perfect.
  17. Been giving it fresh grease, Geissele grease, 25-45 pulls. When I put it in a weapon that Rat stuff will be on the engagement surfaces. Treating it like my newest family member. This thing is a seriously neat toy to play with in a trigger jig, what trigger pull do I really like....overtravel, maybe zero isn't good......2nd stage weight can be light.....so much to play around with.
  18. I wouldn't have blamed you for my choice if it didn't work for me but I will admit the praise you have for the trigger was thought about, enabled me to click the button that dings the bank card just a bit easier. You just can't go wrong recommending this trigger, smooth, crisp, picked up the feedback quick. Most times feedback is the grind and grit of a cheaper trigger, feedback on this trigger is a smooth roll, a distinct wall, then snap, makes me grin Been dry firing the thing off and on all day, thinking I may swap springs and try that Match set for a bit.
  19. Superposition Idaho 7 DIPA brewed by an outfit called Freethought in New York, distributed by 12%. The beer pusher said this was the best beer he had in the cooler right now, he did not mislead me. Smells like a tropical fruit fest, almost an orange blossom aroma. The flavor is outstanding. A big citrus/grapefruit burst up front but the fruity theme keeps rolling into an almost starburst like fruit flavor. Sweet but not overly sweet with that dry component always there in the backbone. Also get a good dose of malty flavors, has distinct flavor zones as it travels the path. Hard not to suck it right down but the flavor gets even stronger as it warms a bit. Almost complex but just plain good so not that complex.
  20. Ok, it's a necro post, I'm somewhat outside the thread title using the DMR set up, but this F'n trigger is iconic for a reason. Just got my Geissele National Match trigger installed in a LaRue jig. First pull was yuck, crunchy and bumpy with almost a snap at the wall. Went with the DMR springs, they send all three now, as DMR is the factory set up. Read the directions once then started following them, WOW! I'm being conservative with all my settings but this trigger already feels outstanding with about 50 dry fires in the jig. I do not have a trigger pull gauge, don't really care as long as it feels good. The little bit of adjusting I did amazed me being able to feel a distinct difference, a great learning tool. I hit a sale, directly from Geissele for $209.25, got a bonus bag of goodies and it just so happened my dad was wanting a summer time Geissele hat, instant Fathers day gift! Is the trigger worth more than two MBT's? At this point I can say yes maybe but I have several spare MBT's and just love this NEW to me trigger. Another of those "depends" questions. I think I may have more to learn once this match trigger gets rounds down range.
  21. I missed that, either keep that a rifle or pay the man $200 wait and get permission to cross state lines. My shorties both have stabilizing braces instead of a stock.
  22. So do you think the court will strike down the regulation?
  23. I have two, one Sig 716 piston and built another with the Sig barrel converted to DI. The DI version has been very reliable and shoots soft and smooth. The 716 beats the crap out of you comparatively and is a jam-o-matic before you hit 100 rounds. Most relevant thought is get a can for maximum enjoyment but the DI gun isn't that unpleasant with a shield installed on the muzzle, AAc sells one that fits my adapter, Used the Noveske version at a time it it worked good to get the blast directed forward.
  24. Funny how it is ok for a state to ignore federal law when it comes to drugs but not when it comes to a safety device that could possibly save a kids hearing. Must be trying to keep us redneck hillbillies deaf and stoned some reason.?.?. More people than ever are educated in the fact that suppressors do not get as quiet as Hollywood quiet. Problem is that still isn't very many people. It's a lost battle once the propaganda machine becomes engaged in the subject. Question to evaluate is do they take suppressors, grandfather in existing and stop new production, or outlaw and do a buy back? oh yeah and I forgot, there is always the "bump stock method" just regulate the meaning and make them a felony.
