That's some killer countryside. Absolutely gorgeous.

Outstanding find Magwa! And you're right. That's a hell of a pick-me-up, amongst the sea of horse$hit that we all hear everyday.

Meh! More room for the rest of us. laughing

^^^^ Now that's funny. Love it Sisco. Keep em coming.

I hear ya Beach. The different patterns that are emerging into the 308 world of AR's can be frustrating as hell. Especially to complete greenhorns that go into these things just thinking that they're just another AR. Unfortunately, I don't think that there's any way that we can entice the manufacture's or retailers to be more specific on the patterns of the parts that their selling. Obviously, some manufacture's/retailers are more helpful than others. And your story of the piss poor customer service is completely unacceptable. Unbelievable that that guy would be such a prick to a customer over the phone. Guys like that, aren't helping these large frame AR's at all. Overall, that's probably why most of us around here try to encourage guys to take their time and read, read, read up on these things before jumping in. As far as proprietary parts and patterns, everybody knows that I'm a BIG Armalite guy. And like Blue stated, I don't really waste my time trying to correct people at first. Mainly cause they'll just think that I'm some kind of Armalite snob (just keep your mouths shut all of you jokers out there). Luckily, I waded into the water instead of just diving in. I bought my first AR-10, and kept reading and trying to learn as much as I could about the platform as a whole. And that led me to not having any issues for parts when it came to building the other 10's that I have since that first purchase (short of breaking parts, that is). With that being said, I've slowly (still am) gathering parts for a Black Rain Fallout-10 (DPMS pattern) that I'm planning on building. Bought a POF P-308 (mostly DPMS with some of their own proprietary parts). With the POF probably the last fully built rifle that I'll ever buy. So I've also dipped my toe into the DPMS side of the platform also. It all comes down to knowledge of the platform itself. And that's why all we can do, is try to keep spreading the word and continue to try and help guys (or gals) that don't have the experience yet, building or working on the large frame AR.

Welcome from MD.

That's F-ING Hilarious Doc.

Cool. I can swing by there, before heading to Larry's.

I think that I've said before......how I hate you guys.

Gotta agree with Planeflyer on this one.

That's a FINE young Marine you have there brother.

Damn. That sounds good. I like em spicy.

Me too Larry. I hate it when my MGD isn't fresh.

Now why do you think?

This'll work for us Jon. Just watch out for Armed Eye Doc. You KNOW what he did with our last plane. Don't want you melting down about another microphone. <laughs>

You talkin about Hemi again? <lmao>

Hey JT. I run a UBR on one of my AR-10 carbines with a lightweight Troy rail. I run one of Slashs' heavy buffers in it (CAR 10 XH). The UBR is a little hefty. But it's worth it (in my opinion at least). You get used to it pretty easy. I love it myself. It also has a PRI adjustable block. Not bad, but it can be a pain in the ass to adjust (adjustment screw is on the side) unless you take a dremel to the rail once everything is in place. Just the enabler coming outta me.

Welcome aboard lupy.

Replace the barrel (you're screwed). For the piece of mind. Unless you want to experiment..........................................

First of all. Armalite had their own design that they submitted for the SASS (M110) program (mrraley step in if I'm wrong). The Armalite SASS (which I have 2 of them) is a 20" 1x10 rifle gas system with an adjustable gas block. A QD muzzle device is provided (depending on manufacture). Now mine....being built from the ground up....I went with the AAC style suppressor setup (51T ratchet). 762-SD......or SDN-6. They both work exceptionally. The Fed's decided to go with the Knight's SR-25 (M110) platform. The Knights........well......an outstanding weapon. Pricey......but nice. I'd love one.

Dammit man!

We all know about you my man. And Rob...........well......what can I say? We'll just have to let the rumors fly about him. <laughs> Get that M5 working brother!
