After this article I'm finally thinking seriously about just that for my DPMS. Not so much for Hornady ammo, but for my own reloads.

C'mon in . The water's fine.

Welcome! Lots of good info here and helpful participants, too.

Welcome to the site. Just got done with my first 308 build in January after a couple of AR builds about 20 years ago. Love the 308! If you've built ARs before you already have a pretty good start.

Way cool!

There wasn't any on the bolt face. But Survival Shop is right, it's the chamber that you don't want any kind of lubricant in. It can greatly increase thrust on the bolt face.

...made in Boise ID. - PWS Precision Comp I would be looking at less of a CQB role (hope I never end up in a real life situation like that, shotgun might be a better choice) and more of a 50 - 200 yard scenario with a device that minimizes disturbance of the sight picture. Can't see much beyond 50-60 yards with target detail without a low power scope or binoculars. Probably won't be in any kind of competition. I just like the rifle to stay close on target under recoil. Your photo reminds me of Gunny.

Interesting point you make about the compensator vs muzzle brake. Never quite thought of it in those terms. If you get the chance, let us know how it does along with some of the details - as in where to get one. If it really works that's two pluses, the first one being that it looks cool. It appears as though the very bottom is not drilled so as to avoid the dust signature.

Hot Dam!

Exactly. Talk about a freight train!

Helotes, just curious, what weight bullet were you thinking of loading in your .458? I imagine a good heavy FMJ, even at relatively low velocities, could wreak havoc on an engine block. The CWS for my LR308 got here today, just in time for the three day weekend - YIPEE! Can't try it out 'till Monday, but YIPEE anyway!

I'll bet that's a real thump gun.

Carrier weight system on the way - hope it gets here by Friday so I can try it out over the weekend. Flat wire buffer spring got here yesterday and it's already installed. I've only completed my basic .308 rig a little over a month ago. Already there's an exponentially expanding wish list, and new products for my two 20 year old AR15s that I hadn't previously known about. How can I do this without ending up in Chapter 11?

Almost sounds as if the gas port is nearly closed off, but that's only a guess.
