Welcome from Maryland

Gas blocks are a matter of preference my man. If you plan to run suppressed, you'll probably want an adjustable block. If you hand load and want to try dialing in different weights, you might want an adjustable block. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. A Yankee Hill lo-pro is just fine. It'll get the job done. I've got adjustable blocks on some....and fixed blocks on others. It really depends on what you wanna do with any given rifle. And, as I started with......everybody has their own preference. No really right or wrong answer. Oh.....and welcome aboard Ducky.

Can't for the life of me figure out why you'd say such a thing.

Welcome to the insanity. Keep your hand on your wallet and just ignore some of these guys. <laughs>

Was working in the northern Virginia area (Mclean) right outside DC. Heard about the first plane, then the second one awhile later, then the pentagon. Went to the roof of the building. It was pretty surreal to look around and see absolutely no planes...except for the warbirds that had been scrambled, and were circling the entire region.

Right in the Vag. <lmao> Good lookin ride though.

And here I thought that I had shown patience while waiting for my POF SBR ( a mere 18 months). You went waaayyyy past that Matt. It'll be interesting to see how long the refund takes.

That looks pretty cool brother. But details man.........we need details!

I'm a big fan of any roll pin holder.

I'm right behind you on this. I don't remember hearing about this build. Of course, me and my memory these days..................................................

+1 <thumbsup>

Nice piece of work there Bubba.

Nice lookin rifle there my man. I don't have any BCM stuff (yet). But I like their equipment.

EOTech, ACOG's and Elcan's are designed for "both eyes open" shooting. For what it's worth...........

Yep. I got the 2 bucks back with mine also. Didn't understand it.......but who am I to ask? The BCG looks pretty nice also. I can't wait to build out the BRO set that this is going into.

Armalite bolt carrier's also have the serrations. If the upper has the FA or not. Not that they would work in a DPMS/SR25 platform anyway. Just figured that I'd throw that out.

Out-Fcuking-Standing!

Yeah right. Don't get your hopes up my brother. Our man Matt is like a shuttle that's not operating on all thrusters............just sayin. But that's why he's on the short bus with us I guess. Besides......somebody has to pass beers......er, ah.......water to the pilot and navigator

Isn't that already Rob's daily uniform? Except in the rain of course.

Yep.....you officially now have "Ron" luck. Sorry dude.....I don't make the rules.

Yeah. I'm waiting to get something in that grain of round also to see how she "steps out". She already proved that she's quiet.......................

Alright you MF-ers. This story ain't starting out with me "stumbling through the door of my local gun pusher". But, that will come into play a little later. So last Sunday, I take the out the MK18 to do a little "base" sighting in with the EOtech 553. I've decided that this sight is better suited for this rifle instead of the OSW. Look it up....for all of you that don't know what rifle that is (don't wanna disrupt my train of thought). You talk about a beautiful morning. There wasn't one other MF-er at all at the range. Now to some of you....you might think...."too bad....nobody to talk to". Me....on the other hand........this is Nirvana (and I ain't talking about the grunge band). Nobody! I'm literally the guy that will go to the range in the rain just hoping to be alone. Not that I'm a loner or anything.............................................well.................... Anyway...... So I play around for a while. Just sighting her in at about 50 yards or so. Really, more playing than actively sighting her in. HEY! It was a holiday weekend (even though Robo was in the rain Monday). I'm all by myself. I can take my time. I deserve a little fun time to decompress. It was about this time that I start thinking of the 300 BLK SBR that I built not too long ago. As we all know, ammo has been non-existent for this round for quite some time. For some reason, I get the urge (the rumblings of the force) to whip out (excuse me why I whip this out) the ole cell phone. And who do I call? Yep. The aforementioned gun pusher. So I'm talking to one of his minions on the phone, asking if they happen to have any 300 BLK ammo by chance. The young guy is kinda hemmin and haulin (no correct spelling for that...no ball busting), when I hear the head gun pusher ask (in the background) in a professional kinda way......"who the hell is that?" I give my name to the young lad on the phone....he repeats it (to said gun pusher)....with a response of "tell him to come on up here". I had the sudden urge to use my wallet for skeet practice when I heard that. As most of us know....it's not safe for me to go into my guy's shop.......especially if he's expecting me. BUT......I figured that I'd soldier on. It's actually anti-climatic for some of you that get off hearing about my expenditures. I actually just got the ammo that I was looking for and got out. Some 220 grain sub-sonic 300 BLK. He had a case of ten boxes........and I walked out with a case of ten boxes. Though I was able to pick up an Armalite (ha-ha Matt....screw you....CMMG my ass) M-15 lower that he had for me, that was waiting on the Maryland stormtroopers to approve of. And........I might have verbally agreed on some other stuff for future builds. Stay tuned on that one, you buncha degenerates. So.....I race back to the house....going through the beer store of course. Drive-thru...........the only good thing about PG county. I make it back to the house to drop off the MK18, and switch over to the 10.5" SBR 300 BLK. Drove up to find my son there waiting for me. He had an armload of rifles that he was saying that he needed to clean, so he figured that he'd come over to clean them at my place while we drink (non-alcoholic beverages of course ;) ). Well, seeing that we had the 300 ammo, we promptly chucked his rifles into my gun-boxes and flew up the road back to the range. And this really is the point of this whole story. Yes.....Yes......I know that some of you are saying that it's about F-ing time! (hands thrown in the air) This little beauty runs PERFECT! She never burped. Even being the first time out (cherry popping), and not doing ANY kind of break-in to her. She ran flawlessly. No FTF's.....no FTE's.....she just ran. As fast....or as slow as you wanted her too. With no sighting really being done.....she was running minute of man. Who can ask for any better? All of that with just the flip up Troy BUIS. I can't wait to put some kind of optic on her. I'm probably leaning towards another EOtech setup. Don't know yet. Also.......she's quieter than a 22. Anyway.....for those of you that might not have seen her in previous threads. The first pic was when she was still wearing an MOE stock. I've since swapped that out to an ACS stock in the 2nd pic.

Brother Mike is ONE bad ass playing with those predator birds. I like it. That's cool as hell.

^^^^ I'm looking at playing with some them on a couple different builds that I have in mind also.

That whole Trek thing had me laughing my F-ing ass off. And low and behold, I kinda feel the same way with all of that pop-culture horse s h i t.
