Hope you're not in a hurry. Both of those barrels are showing as not in stock. Part of the 308/AR10 pain of finding parts.

Wait a minute. The DPMS/SR-25 (including TM) pattern use a set screw to pin their bolt catch in place. I just re-read your post. it sounds like you need to just back off that set-screw to get where you wanna be. Keep in mind (I'm the Armalite guy.....our's are pinned). But the other patterns use the set-screw for the bolt catch. Just trying to help my man.

A blind hole? Hmm. I'm looking at mine (an Armalite 10, not a TM lower), and you should be able to drive the pin back out from the other side. But it's two different manufacture's. And I wouldn't expect the TM lower to be any different from any other manufacture's "rule of thumb". You know, what gets put together, can't be taken apart. Can you put up some pics?

The painful wait.

Is'nt that a screw for that pattern?

DON'T FCUK WITH TACTICAT! Period! (even Tom doesn't.....short of the boot) <lmao>

Oh....and bring the wife. Hell.......she can load mags. <laughs> Unless she's like Tom's "little woman". ONE.....she WILL kick my ass. TWO.....She'll probably outshoot us all. <lmao> I'm not kidding (even though never even met her..........my fault)

Brother, the way I see it.....all of our guns are OUR guns. When we all finally get together......we have a table full of "toys" to play with. I hope to make the Thanksgiving desert run one day.....and I'll be in Mass sometime around the "May or so" timeline. Epic!

Damn. That sucks. I don't even know what to say about that. And I thought that I had bad luck......

Just kiddin brother. Now, the mag loading becomes the next obstacle. That s h i t ain't cheap. But.........what price do you put on fun?

^^^^^ :laughing4:

I've been waiting for you to chime in mister......................... You get to load mags as the rest of us shoot. <laughs>

Hmm. I didn't know that you finally stepped up and got yourself an Armalite. <lmao>

I'm sure the animal society is happy for you. <laughs>

Yeah, but look what you're stuck with. <lmao> Too easy

Hey, Hey, Hey! C'mon now. I said that I was picking it up tomorrow. I only kept the "order" part of it to myself. Just so you guys wouldn't bust my balls about it. What am I saying? You guys are gonna bust my balls no matter what. Sheesh..................................brother can't get a break.

I agree. I waited until the last minute to order my Noveske Leonidas barrel (and almost missed out on it) for my 10 SBR. And I sweated the couple months that I had it in my possession until I got the tax stamp back for it. My only defense would have been that I could prove that the paperwork was "in progress". Not that I think that the black helicopters were waiting to swoop down and land in my front yard. But...technically...if it's in your possession, and can be dropped on to another lower. They can pop you for it. And I kept it completely separated, in a different gun box than my other AR-10's. Not that that would have mad a difference in the long run. In the grand scheme of life, I like to follow the rule of don't Fcuk with the man. Moreover....don't give the man a reason to Fcuk with you. Lots of opinions of this out there. Be careful of any local laws (as 98 said), and cross your T's and dot you I's (I hate that expression, but it works).

Come on now. You don't have to pretend just for the other guys.

Sing Along............................... So I went stumbling through the door of my local gun pusher (2 weeks ago). I was a man on a mission. I had a purpose. I had a specific goal in mind as I scanned the walls. He still has some decent stuff (that skirts the now socialist laws of my state). An Armalite SASS. Nice....but I already got 1 (2nd one in pieces). A SCAR heavy. Tempting......but I'm trying to stay focused. Nightforce.......some nice glass that he's got laying around (focus focus focus). Some heavy barreled AR-15's that don't look too shabby. Somehow, they're still transferable in my F-ed up state while all others aren't. And of course, the small compliment of class III full auto equipment, that he just loves to float out in front of me. A good selection of parts laying around, and blah, blah, blah. After all......I had an order to place. Like I said. I was staying focused. Standing steady. Keeping my eye on the ball. I was going to keep everything to myself until zero hour came. And..............................IT HAS. Well ladies.........it's here. My MRAD arrived today (in multi role brown....because that's how Tom would get it of course). Times are good. Things are looking up. Stock market is up. Inflation is going down. Global warming is receding. Dogs and cats are getting along. The planets are all aligning. Traffic is being cancelled. The government is giving us all of our rights back (I know...just a dream). My vacation starts at the end of the day tomorrow. And.....did I say? MY MRAD IS HERE. I'll be picking it up tomorrow afternoon..........and then the fun begins. I'll have 2 full weeks to play with it (naked of course while at home). Pics to follow tomorrow evening probably.

OK. I won't sugarcoat jack. BUY THE F-ING PISTOL ROB!

Armalite doesn't make a Pmag. They make their "10A" pattern rifle that'll except magpul Pmags, but not the mags themselves.

Welcome from Maryland.

Welcome aboard Sneaky. I sure hope that you weren't planning on saving any money by showing up around here. laughing

You don't EVEN wanna get me started on this.

That would be the A pattern brother. That's the primary difference of the A and B. They made the A just so people could use the Pmags. I'm already deeply entrenched in the B side.......and I've got plenty of mags for them. :auto:
