I'm sold on Clint's heavy buffers. Especially when running suppressed, or just because........they make a rifle run better. I WILL be getting one for my AR-10 SBR build. Wouldn't ever consider not using one. Ron

As any right-thinking red-blooded American male should! <laughs> Welcome to the board Brewster Ron

Well, I can't say that it's "proper".....I'm just sayin what works for me (as far as lubing up the lugs along with everything else). Lube never hurts. Definitely keep the carrier itself "wet". Ron

You're tracking with me Rene.

Yep. I use Hi-Temp bearing grease when I'm running my suppressor. It does tend to collect grime easier, but it runs smooth with the extra back-pressure and heat from the gas (also using an adjustable gas-block). Now if I don't plan to run the can, I just lube the living hell out of the bolt carrier and lugs (short of dunking it). grin Ron

They do have some pretty cool stuff. Some in R&D, some farther along. Just a small company based in Australia.

Big ol' hello from Maryland Jim Ron

You SOLD the upper? So does that mean......that you just have an expensive club in your hand? <laughs> Seriously though. Welcome aboard. With this crowd.....you'll find plenty of ways to make your bank account lighter.

I hate to say it............go with the lawyer. I did. For CYA if nothing else. Ron

Nice. <thumbsup> Ron

Check this bad boy out! More intel at www.metalstorm.com Ron

Barrel nut doesn't come with the handguard?

Have sawzall and angle grinder with cutting wheel.......will travel!

I agree with Edge on this one. On the sights and on Armalite. Top notch....both of them. Ron

It kills me that Advanced Armament is on that list. Even more how they treated the owner after absorbing them. I think that they make some of the best suppressors on the market. With that being said, I just received another of thier blackout QD muzzle brakes. They've re-designed them slightly, and I don't think that it's for engineering advancements. They've thinned out the walls around the ports, and moved the wrench-flats to the other side of the QD threads. I can't imagine that they're saving a whole lot of $ per unit. But you know how large corporations think. Don't know if this will inherently weaken the brake or not, only time (and rounds) will tell. Ron

<lmao> You're hitting on all 8 tonight Robo. Ron

<lmao> Now that's too damn funny. Sadly true......but funny none the less.

I'm pretty much in the same camp as you Flat. My ex and I get along fairly well. I mean, I gave her the house...but our kids stayed with her, and they could come with me anytime they or I wanted them to. No alimony....just some child support, which I actually always gave more than what was required. After all, they were still my kids. Both of them are adults now, and they both came thru it pretty good. So like you, I count myself as luck also. I feel bad for some of the guys that you hear the horror strories from. F-ing lawyers.

I'd get one just to piss off the anti-gunners of the world. But alas, here in the communist state of Maryland, 20 round mags are the limit. Which, by the way, has to make you laugh. As much as I joke about the state, we can still buy just about anything we want. It's just funny that you can buy a belt-fed machine gun, but 20 round mags are the limit. :cookoo:

I'm hoping to get a pack in the mail from BATFE. But I know it's waaaaayyyyyyy too soon. Hey...a brother can hope can't he? Hmmm...let's see (tapping my head seriously). I think that I might get myself a desert eagle for xmas. I'm not really a pistol guy (you use them when the rifle goes click), but I've always thought they were cool looking. That, and then I'll have something as big as my son's HK mark 23 (really nice pistol). Little bastard (he's 6'3'')...always has to one up me. <laughs> Ron

Can't really complain. Here in the DC metro area, my field hasn't really slowed down too much. But this area is kinda insulated from the rest of the economy, being the heart of democracy (hard to say that with a straight face). Oh, my company and I do HVAC controls/building automation for commercial office buildings. Ron

Check em all out brother. No hurry when it comes to spending dollars. Wait a minute! What am I saying? I don't even follow my own suggestions. No wonder I got some many damn parts laying around. <laughs>

I can envision a nice Harris Bi-pod on this bad boy. Ron

Yeah, but Garands are pretty cool though.

Welcome aboard SPBCTS. That's a nice rifle. O course I'm kinda biased when it comes to Armalite's. Anyway, I use Troy iron's on mine. But more than likely, it'll come down to a matter of preference. You'll find many opinions here. All valuable....and knowledgeable. Ron
