  1. I need to get a new chop saw though, the one I got on Amazon is junk.
  2. Very Tempting, but I am committed to making my own cases from all my extra 5.56 brass.
  3. Welcome from Wisconsin, hope you folks get a break soon. Stay safe.
  4. Messed around learning on some S and B brass that was expendable. Now I am doing my Lake City brass and those instructions above are right on the money. Turning out nicely beveled at precisely 1.368".
  5. Not only that, but the ZQ-1 brass is great for reloading. When Walmart was closing it out for $5.40 a box I bought a 1000 for that reason. Don't care about the accuracy, just gimme the brass!
  6. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you in Texas. The firearms issue is a tough one. There should be a system for reclaiming them after the emergency. If I was an LEO I honestly don't know how I would feel. 99% of the owners are fine, but that 1% would worry me.
  7. Got me thinking of this for my AR10 Rifle. http://woodforar.com/

    Kids make it all worth while.
  9. Interesting but too pricey for my blood. https://www.cdnnsports.com/turnbull-tar40-308.html?___SID=U#.WZ9v5yiGOaE
  10. Well said.
  11. A few years ago there was an incident in the Black Sea between an Aegis Class cruiser and a Russian SU-24 Fencer. The Fencer started an approach on an attack vector and immediately the whole electronic suite on the Aegis crashed. The Fencer went over low and slow. Some EW stuff went down. Maybe the Chinese are practicing their capabilities?
  12. 200 rounds Squires and Bingham subsonic 300 BO ammo from SG Ammo. For the fall shoot.
  13. Fago DE Chao is a Brazilian Steakhouse chain that is outstanding. When I was in El Calafate Patagonia, Argentina I ordered the "Mixed Grill" to split with my nephew. Along with blood sausage (morcilla) and a great bottle of wine. It turned out to be 5 pounds of lamb and beef wood roasted on its own brasserie warmer with various sauces. Incredible! Total bill equivalent to about $35 in American dollars.
  14. yep, I can see it.

    Tragedy

    Your on!
  16. WELCOME FROM Wisconsin. Nothing wrong with "B" model Armalites.

    Tragedy

    Not all were killed, I don't think. A LEO in Pennsylvania survived I believe. The 2 in Kissimmee Florida, its tragic.45 year old ex Marine was the perpetrator.

    Tragedy

    Your right there! Wish you were up here. I would drag you out fishing on your days off! In Ashland and Bayfield Counties we have a good group of local LEOs as well. I got stopped by your counterpart up here a while back. No biggie, when I bought my new truck in Minnesota they put it as a load range "A' when it needed a "B'. I think she was on the commercial weights and measures enforcement team that day. She was cool about it though and I got it changed the next week. A lot of us up here wouldn't think twice about coming to the aid of an officer in danger. They have helped us out so many times. And unfortunately with the heroin outbreak and consequent crime increase we are having, it may very well happen.
  19. Like Wash said, good detective work.

    Tragedy

    Six law enforcement officers were shot in our country in one day yesterday. Words fail me. Thanks to all you current and retired LEOs for your service and courage. God be with their families. and them.
  21. I ran into that with the Sig Forum as well but as I sold my Sig I didn't lose much sleep over it. I am a member of the M14 forum, but don't participate much. Just take advantage of their really good disassembly videos. 308AR is home.
  22. No reason to ball bust, welcome to the 308AR club. You run into problems, you will learn more about your rifle in solving them then you ever would otherwise. Boot Scraper and bfoosh maybe can weigh in. They are becoming our PSA authorities. A good general break in procedure for all AR308s, particularly stainless barrels, is to take your cleaning equipment with to the range. Fire ten rounds cleaning the barrel after each round. Then fire 5 rounds four times, cleaning the barrel after each string of five. Load the first ten rounds singly and check ejection and bolt hold open. Take a look at each round for abnormal denting, tearing of the rim, etc. Then do the same for the strings of five. Don't worry about accuracy yet. After that, get some variety of different weights and manufactures of 308 rounds and see which give the best feed and accuracy in your rifle. Generally 168-175 grain BTHP will work very well. Lighter bullets it is up to the individual rifle. But the most important rule is to enjoy the hell out of it.
  23. Boot, glad your here. Learned a bit from you already about PSA's. The regulars on this forum are first class. All walks of life, but we get along even when we disagree. Robo glad you know who is doing better. He isn't bad...just different.
