Brother there is nothing better than homemade chorizo. Read your recipe and started drooling.

Drool drool drool! When I was in North Carolina in April I made a royal pig of myself on soft shell crab. Wish I had taken some pictures the other night. I had an Argentine Asado. I pulled out my 4'x3'ft Parrilla grill, stoked up a maple log fire underneath it, and put on a leg of lamb, 6 2 inch thick bone in rib eyes, a dozen lamb chops, two venison tenderloins, a half dozen venison chops, and a half dozen chorizo sausages for appetizers. Fed twenty people, and I am still feasting on the left overs. Seasoned them all with hand minced garlic, ground pepper, and salt water. I think "Parrilla" should mean "Death by meat" in Spanish.

Seems a lot of people are looking for the softest feeling 308 AR they can put together . The problem there is you may end up causing function problems that would not be there if you would have just kept to the OEM parts. Its a freeking 308 & its going to have some recoil impulse. Agree. 308 AR's don't kick that much anyway.

Tried new reloads' unfortunately in a 20 gusting to 40 mph wind which caused accuracy to suck. Had to halt 175 gr SMK's BTHP, showing signs of overpressure with 42 gr of RE15. 168 grains in AR10T carbine, AR10A4 rifle below, along with an M118LR control group in the rifle. All shot at 100 yards. Did not bother to fine tune scopes in that wind. AR10T 168 gr with 42 gr RE15 6 shot group AR10A4 168gr 5 shot group M118LR 6 shot control group in AR10A4.

Whatever it proved it ended up costing me nothing to prove it so I could care less.

Easiest review ever! Took them out of the bag to take some pictures, first thing I notice is that raised ridge running the full length of an AR10 magazine in back, is missing. Try to feed it in the mag well, loose and doesn't fit very well. Call CTD, give me return UPS label, will give refund, including shipping. Review: At this time, stick with Armalite.

Got them in the mail today will take some pics tomorrow. Initial inspection has absolutely no country of manufacture stamped on them. Look to be an absolute clone of Armalite mags. Plastic bag has a label saying famous manufacturer AT10B magazines, and that is it. I know Matco makes tools, competes with a business model similar to Snap On tools. Don't know if it is the same company though. Will be disassembling and inspecting internals tomorrow.

Fair enough.

I agreed to test them for another site. First thing I will be looking at is country of origin. Never had a problem with any of my 12 Armalite mags so you don't have to convince me. But they need to be evaluated.

Know what your sayin. Not my favorite place to shop.

CTD is offering a second source supplier for AR10B type magazines. I will be testing some. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/7-AR1020B

That SASS is a beautiful rifle, for my go to rifle though, I like the AR10T carbine. Under 9 lbs unloaded, good to 600 yards minimum with the right optics. But for putting holes in things from a long ways away with an AR10, The SASS is the word.

I want him to teach a course in distance shooting.

Sports Hollow in Ashland WI. The owner is one of the Nations best distance shooters himself. He won the Palma Cup at Camp Perry last year. Knows his stuff backwards and forwards. Prices are fair as well.

The day I depend on one brand is the day I have let somebody's advertising get to me. Check the other prices on that link, and right now, nobody else in the 308 market comes close for the different features and models being offered. Don't know why the discounts, but that translates to more money for ammo and reloading components, which equals more shooting. And I am all for that.

If you want reasonable weight and excellent accuracy. Take a look at this link. Down side: Armalites do use a proprietary magazine. Upside, you are getting a match grade barrel and a National Match 2 stage trigger with it. Weight 8.7 Lbs without a full magazine or optics. Best all around rifle I have. And a heck of a price right now. http://www.cdnnsports.com/armalite-ar10-a4-308win-16-sts-vltor-stk-package.html#.U5MsFNq9KK0

Armalite has been running some great deals, both from them and through surrogates. That is how I got my AR10T carbine.i don't know why, but I am going to see about taking advantage of it. Thanks for the heads up.

Armalite also recommends a 168 gr bullet with those barrels for optimum performance. I am going to be testing 168 and 175 SMK's reloads in both my 1 in 11.25 and my 1 in 10 Armalites in the near future to see what matches up the best. I will do a report when I do.

That really sucks. I lost a canine friend post op last fall so I know how you feel man. My first thought was Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but it sounds like that has been ruled out. Fire ants?Don't know if you have them in your area. Did they do a blood workup? Find anything unusual, like elevated White Blood Cells? That would indicate an immune or allergic response. Prayers are with you and your dog.

That is the problem here is finding long distance ranges. I am working up a hundred of each, 175 and 168 SMK's to see which my rifles like better. As they are two different barrel twists who knows until I do it.

You are so right. Plus the Chinese have exact copies of a lot of our best infantry hardware. Is it as good? Probably not. Can they make ten of them for every well made american one? Yes. Don't underestimate what they can accomlplish, but also understand they have zero blue water navy tradition. Zero. To expand outside their home waters they would get their A__ kicked. Reminds me of a lieutenant jg I knew in the seventies that served for a while in a destroyer deployed to the Black Sea. I asked about the Soviet navy and their build up that was going on then, and how they stacked up. His reply was that his destroyer was a leftover from the Korean war and was still steaming rings around what the Russians had in the Black Sea. Not because of the equipment, but because of the sailors. Tradition makes a difference when the SHTF.

Have to check it out. I know there are civil rights groups that believe strongly in the Second Amendment as a very important measure that helped Blacks protect themselves from lynchings in the early 20th century. Gun rights is not a racial issue, it is a personal liberty issue.

Armalite makes good stuff right out of the box.

^^^^^^^^^^^^Agree with all those sentiments. They pay the price for the rest of us to live in freedom.
