FaRKle!

On my .308s I use a GG&G XDS-2 QD. For my lighter guns I use chopsticks. Bundle multiples of them with paracord till you get to the needed strength. Super cheap! I get mine from Panda Express.

Or they're using a straight gas tube like Noveske did with their switchblock.

Time to get your buffer! Damage Ind. H3 Use "SUMMER30" for 30% off.

I like the sound of this... I've been buying V7 parts lately.

Stay away from Arms Unlimited. They're a shady retailer. They got caught selling fake Raddlock bullet buttons and fake Rainier Raptor charging handles. I got swindled buying one of their fake Raddlocks and was wondering to myself why everybody thought they were so good because mine sucked until I found out I got a fake.

That's where I left my sandwich! Thanks for reminding me!

Depends which 6 position buffer tube you're talking about. If it's the non-A5 one (part RE-1), then NO, it will not work, and will require LR308 pattern parts (short buffer, short spring). If it's the A5 6-position one (part RE-10/A5SR), then YES, it will work. If you're going to use a stock that can fit on all 7 positions, I recommend the RE-A5 receiver extension.

Sexy! I'm trying to convince Bmoney to do this to his Recon.

It will. The G2 has the same buffer setup as the G1.

Me: Awesome! Thanks Shibi! My wallet: You bastard Shibi! Me: Expect correspondence from me shortly... :) I always win...

A1 rifle receiver extension = A2 rifle receiver extension = AR-10 rifle receiver extension. They're all the same! Money

You sure he doesn't already have it and has just been using it to cut his lines?

So how many grams of coke was the dust cover equivalent to?

Not sure what you meant exactly by "DPMS buffer tube," but the PRS stock requires an AR-10/M16A2 rifle length/fixed stock receiver extension (such as this) and isn't compatible with an adjustable stock receiver extension. Since you're required to use the rifle receiver extension you'll need an AR-10 action spring, and AR-10 rifle buffer. Once again, skip the heavy buffer (but if you absolutely insist on it for bragging rights, this is the one you'd use).

I like the VLTOR A5 7 position tube because I use stocks that can close on the smallest position (ACS, EMOD, STR, ect). If your stock is too short internally to use the 7 position tube they also make a 6 position one, or you could get an AR-10 tube from Armalite. The DPMS AR-15 carbine receiver extension is a compromise in a .308AR. Knight's found that the shorter receiver extension causes the action spring to get very close to binding when compressed. The MFT minimalist will collapse fully on the 7 position VLTOR A5 receiver extension. Slash's CAR-10 buffer ($99) is only .1oz heavier than the H3. The Car-10XH ($125) is about 1.1oz heavier than the H3. Spending money on that when you already have an adjustable gas block is just spending money to say that you have it...

Yup, those are the parts. You should be able to get the buffer and charging handle for much less during sales (Damage Industries usually has a 20-30% off coupon and has the buffer, Primary Arms and others usually have good sales on the BCM charging handles). The VLTOR tube can be had a bit cheaper too (I paid $40.40 shipped for my last one). The SLR gas block has a coarser thread pitch and requires a larger degree of rotation per adjustment so it doesn't foul as easily and is easier to clear/set. You can also fully disassemble it and it can cut off the gas completely.

Consider a Mod 3 large latch if you like to charge with just the left palm or have optics near the charging handle. Check out the SLR Rifleworks adjustable gas block. It's more expensive, but also looks better designed (and it seems that PXT has sporadic reviews - either great or terrible). Do yourself a favor and go AR-10 pattern on the buffer system. A VLTOR A5 (or standard AR-10) receiver extension, AR-10 spring, and AR-15 H3 buffer costs the same (or less, when on sale) as JUST Slash's CAR-10 heavy buffer. That combination of parts has been proven reliable (AR-10, Knight's, and LMT rifles), and is similar to running the heavy buffer in a LR308 pattern gun. It also gives you the option of swapping cheap AR-15 buffers when tuning your gas block instead of $100+ ones. I've converted/will convert both my .308s to the VLTOR A5, 7-position receiver extensions for more adjustment.

Per Knight's research, going below 16" in a .308 isn't very optimal and performance becomes very similar to smaller .30cal rounds like 7.62x39.

Your feed ramps scratch the bullet more than a mag will.

It can tell you when the gun is level when mounting your scope. Also tells you how level the gun is when you're setting up a shot.

It does, and it's a long big black tube thing...

Probably Raahauge's in Dunnigan since Bubba's staff there. It's about a 2hr drive for me.

We won't be doing dB measurements. You're correct that in order to do an accurate measurement (both in magnitude and relative) you need some pricey equipment. I do want to get force diagrams by using the accelerometers in my phone to measure the actual muzzle movement in 3 axis.

Let me know when you get to the bay area man! I don't think the center console is an approved storage area since a locking glove compartment isn't approved for firearm storage.

Camera comes in next week. After that I just need to build the holding fixture (but that's easy). Then have to figure out when we can film. I'm hoping either July 4th weekend or end of July depending on when Robocop and Bubbasks are free.
