Tonight I am still in the shop again at 11:13, and it was Domino's and pork rinds with iced tea, I wonder if pork rinds are bad for you? I am going to try to fix this dammed clock now!

I am still out in the shop working, sweet heat barbeque pork rinds and grape soda. Why does the clock show 6:19am when it is 12:24am?

Built new AR-10, light-weight ammo returns poor results
texas30cal replied to VPSowner's topic in Building a .308AR
Mine was tighter than I thought it should have been when locking and unlocking and it would not completely lock closed sometimes, I read about the moly grease on here somewhere, I put enough on the lugs to cover them with a small brush and kept it there until it worked freely now all it needs is a light coat of oil. -

Built new AR-10, light-weight ammo returns poor results

I had similar results with my steel barrel when brand new and the more I shot it the worse it got, ( 30 or 40 rounds), I went to the range with a good friend and he asked if I has cleaned it yet, I said I had only cleaned it with hoppes and a jag, He had some bore tech eliminator, we used it on a plastic jag until no more blue came out on the patches, the blue is a indication that it is removing copper, then hit it with the hoppes. It improved immediately! Then we started shooting 5 or 6 rounds and repeating this procedure, did this for 60 rounds or so and now it shoots way better than I can with bad eyes and carpal tunnel in both hands. It may not be your problem but that stuff worked very well and would be worth a shot. As far as breaking the rest of it in I use moly grease on the bolt lugs and oil on everything else. -
Good luck I hope you get it, I had a job in a plant where we made coat hangers, industrial wire, and some related paper products, had it just over 10 years and got shut down due to poor management/chinese labor costs. Anyway I am a machinist and we built new machinery, maintained, rebuilt, modified and made replacement parts as well as helping with breakdowns, we had a good crew in the machine shop and a good maintenance dept., we got along well, it was by far the best job I ever had. We were always doing something different and learning something new, never got bored. I got laid off oct. 3rd. 2003 and have missed that job every day since.

Pretty plain jane here, folding lockblade uncle henry, about a 3" blade, had it since 93 when I found it on the floor in Hobby Lobby the blade is about 1/4" shorter now from sharpening it. I was just about to give up and get something else but I was in a pawn shop one day and found one identical to it almost new condition, thank God, I fear change!

Josey Wales, "to hell with them fellas, buzzards gotta eat same as worms" and "does just about anything does it? How's it do on stains?" And in Airplane it has to be "Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley". It's been a while so not I may not have them down to the word but very close.

Not no, but HELL NO!

Nevermind, I told you I was almost illiterate! I just saw the site help section.

The only time I have been asked if there is a firearm in the car was when I was pulled over and gave the trooper my c.h.l., he asked if I was carrying, what it was and if it was loaded "because a empty chamber doesn't do any good", but have always wondered how they would handle a arsenal in the back of the 4 runner. I would be glad to put up pics of the 1919, how do you put pics on here, I am almost illiterate when it comes to computers?
-
I have often wondered what a trooper would think/do if I got pulled over like that, when we go to west Texas or New Mexico to see my dad we are "ready for battle" too. I usually have the Tommy, 308ar,1919, m1a, ar15, 30 carbine, a couple of 22's, several handguns and cans full of ammo. My wife says that if we ever get in a bad wreck she hopes we are ok and also that all of the cargo is not spread all over the highway.

Sounds like you got it going your way! -
Doing driveby's in the grocery store is always fun, so is cropdusting on the way to your table in a busy restaurant, or even better an airplane!

Every time we go to the range my wife takes my manhood from me! We went to the range second week of deer season because she had not picked up the 308ar in over a year (trigeminal neuralgia/neuropathy were not sure which yet has had her really down for 2 years) and wanted to hunt, she waited till last out of 4 of us and had the best groups of the day, I didnt measure but it couldn't have been too much more than 1". We went to renew our chl's, she had not practiced in a long time, used a glock 19 and scored 249, ripped the whole center out of the target. I give up.

When I polished mine, this one was built from a blackthorne kit, actually for the price I was pretty happy with it it had a rough chamber and the extractor needed a little fitting, anyway it was extracting very hard and upon examination it had spiral chatter marks from the reamer. I thought about the flexhone but didn't want to wait so I removed the barrel and polished the chamber with 600 then 1000 grit paper on a 5/16" dowel with a slot cut in the end, it only took a few minutes and at the end just slowed the machine down and fed it in and out faster to make cross hatching like in a cylinder but still smooth. Now it extracts properly and doesn't damage the brass. As a precaution I cut the slot in the dowel a little deeper than I cut the width of the paper so the paper would not contact the shoulder of the chamber and I could feel the shoulder with the soft wood dowel. It worked very well at little cost.

If the hole is the right size then the pin should be gutentight, it should take a punch and something to tap it into place. -

Don't forget that the roll pin, if it is a 1/16", should measure oversize. You always drill the hole for a roll pin on-size adn the pin is oversize so it is under spring tension when installed. I don't have one to measure handy but I would guess .065"-.070" dia. at least. -
It is not much trouble to attach a short 3 or 4 inch section of rail to the handguard using the existing swivel hole as a guide so it will be on center. Then you can attach a bipod directly to the rail and a sling swivel too. I did this on my free floated guard that is very similar, I would post pics but have never learned how, sorry.

Oversize hole due to some button pusher not checking their tooling and running dull or chipped drills? -
I missed it, but GO TEXAS!
