FaRKle!

Excellent! Looking forward to your eval!

Damn. A diminishing loss indeed. Any word on how his family's doing?

Tirerack + Fatwallet are your friends.

Depends on the gas port size and location on your barrel. Once you figure out which barrel you're getting then we can look at buffers. It'll either be an H or H2 buffer though, and if going A5 system, A5H2.

Double feeding isn't a buffer issue. Usually a sign of worn magazine feed lips. Just to be sure, you went from a 5.4oz LR308 pattern rifle buffer to the 10oz AR10R-XH buffer right?

I'm only trying to build one gun here, not two! You KNOW that spare upper will morph into another complete gun. Plus, I'll have to find a standalone AR-10 pattern lower for it anyways. Try www.centralfloridafirearms.com/ instead ;).

This is awesome! By chance do you sell just the stripped lowers? I have a spare MWS chassis and barrel I've been thinking of building up into a complete gun...

That would surprise me if true. I haven't seen anything to suggest it.

Hrm, my MWS' pins work just fine with finger pressure on both of my upper chassis. The PWS H4 is 6.9oz. I don't know why their website says 1lb (unless that's just shipping weight).

Wow, your MWS is that difficult with the pins? Did it come with the H3 buffer? If so getting a PWS H4 is another option to Slash's HSS.

You sure end up with a good amount of $ in your bank account when you get back though (well after the expense report anyways)!

Some things yes, but the take down detent channel being too far inward so that it doesn't actually lock into place on the on the pin, and leftover material in the corner where the pivot pin head sits that prevents it from going in all the way aren't intentionally designed that way.

Has your friend cleaned them up? They do require some touching-up with a dremel for 100% functionality.

You need to be careful with LED bulbs since they tend to have narrower spectrum light that may not be at the 6500K natural temperature level. You may end up with a tint instead of the white light you want. BTW a color-calibrated monitor is crucial when doing photoshop work on your computer. Without one the color you see on your screen, might not be what color you're actually making it...

How's your lighting? That'd be my guess as to why the white sheet isn't working. I've had to build makeshift photoboxes before where we took a cardboard box, cut a hole in the side (so the box became more of a frame), lined the interior with white printing paper, and placed a bright work lamp (like one of these) where the cutout was to illuminate the interior.

Ok, let's argue trivial semantics then... ::) If you want to go with formal dictionary definitions then we're both right.

I guess you're not up with the times then... It would've helped if you read the article I posted earlier. Those 500,000 M4>M4A1 upgrades aren't for SF/SOF.

So what's stupid about that statement? Your post isn't clear on what's stupid/BS and what's not because you say a lot of the same things it does (aside from initial introduction, which that statement didn't say anything about). Colt makes the M4, thus the M4 is Colt's rifle. The Army did believe the M4 was deficient (hence the whole replacement shenangians they went through...) The Army did award the contact for new rifles to FN. The FN M4A1s do have FA instead of Colt's burst in the M4. Regular Army is issued M4A1s, and is upgrading their Colt M4s currently (with Colt-made M4A1 conversion parts).

Well bad news. I called Armalite today and asked about lots of the missing items on the site and they said that some of them will probably be added back, but many aren't going to be available as standalone parts anymore. The rep was fairly confident the AR-10 action spring (EA1095) would be added back, and probably the 2-stage triggers, but said overall that they were shifting their focus to becoming more of a complete gun manufacturer and less of a parts supplier. He also said lots of the tech notes and the exploded diagrams (with part #s) wouldn't be available anymore... They were such a great reference.

Welcome! Always good to have more enginerds around!

The Sig 716 uses an AR-10 pattern receiver extension (and an H2 buffer IIRC) which is ~3/4" longer than an AR-15 carbine receiver extension. The F93 only comes in AR-15 carbine length, which is why your BCG can't travel far back enough. If you want to use the F93 you'll have to convert to an LR308 carbine buffer system with LR308 carbine spring and heavybuffers.com's CAR-10 buffer.

Wow, this must've JUST happened. I was on there around noon PST today showing Robo stuff and it was the old site.

Yes. Comes installed in the dry-fire jig with all the control parts. You then take it out of the jig and put it in your rifle.

Wow, I didn't realize this includes the trigger as well as the dry fire assembly. That's not a bad price at all for all that. So Ponce, when's yours coming in? I see Bud's has it for about $100.

Excellent info! Dude we need pics!
