FaRKle!

Med profile, 1:10 twist, melonited barrel. Not sure what the base steel is though.

POF uses that stupid high rail. I'll take a PWS over it any day.

I was wondering what happened to this. I remember their rep going on LFnet a few years back and talking about how they wanted to change the bolt.

I love my LaRue stuff... Make sure to get the low-mount!

SR-25 16" barrels have rifle length gas systems.

I wish my MWS 16" barrel had come with a rifle-length gas system. Makes for a soft/smooth shooting rifle!

Re-profiling the barrel shouldn't affect accuracy much, but the barrel will heat up more quickly which may lead to vertical stringing. You shouldn't see a difference in barrel longevity (wear).

You can get a Geissele G2S trigger for about the same price as those other two. Very close to the SSA. Sign up for the in-stock notification at Exile Machine.

The more the merrier! I'm voluntelling Robocop to handle all of the devices you guys want to send in since he's a mod =P

No poop? We need to get you out next time bubbasks, robocop and I meet up!

We need to do some more filming to finish up this round of devices, so if you want to send some more in for testing we'll use'em.

You're not going to find a legit milspec (7075 aluminum, milspec diameter) receiver extension for less than $20. The cheapest milspec tube kits I've found are from Tactical Intent. For a milspec tube, spring, and H-buffer the kit was $60 shipped, but I had to call them.

Geissele triggers use a full-strength hammer spring, no worries.

Shouldn't be any different than a normal AR-15. Lube and shoot!

Hey now, two is one and one is none. And thirteen is twelve, should be just enough redundancy ;)

I wouldn't call the ACS-L "light". I bought one for its heavier weight to balance out my MK216 better. The CTR, MOE, SOPMOD Bravo, and IMOD are light.

Was able to get in a 5rnd group at 100yds today with this ammo while taking my brother shooting for his first time. Result: .743MOA

My LMT MWS comes with a 16" barrel and carbine length gas system. The stock buffer is an AR-15 H3 (5.6oz). The ideal weight is dependent on the gas port size on your barrel, for instance, the H3 in the MWS might still be overgassed, but in my PWS MK216 the H3 feels just about right (stock came with a normal AR-15 carbine weight buffer). Most DI systems will likely be overgassed even with an H3 so one of Slash's heavy buffers will probably decrease the recoil impulse while maintaining reliability. LaRue uses an H2 AR-15 buffer in their retractable stock OBR systems IIRC. Stay tuned for our muzzle device comparison! We'll be using the LMT MWS with 16" barrel.

I'm actually planning on going up to Bubbasks and Robocop's area the weekend after too, although for other reasons, but we might be able to do some more filming then. I just need to ask my coworker if I can borrow his video equipment a bit longer haha.

Looks like a two-stage to me. You can tell by the dual catches on the head of the hammer (piece that broke off).

Natchez has a case of Federal XM80 Ball for $458.49 + $50 shipping = $508.49 shipped. That comes out to just under $0.51/rnd shipped!

So the other day I was thinking to myself, "We sure had a bunch of cool toys at the last NorCal meet/shoot." This realization brought me to a hunch that between Robocop, Bubbasks and I we've got to have a bunch of .308 AR muzzle devices too. It turns out our cache consists of a JP Cooley brake, Bad-Ass Battle Comp, PWS FSC30, Griffin Armament Flash Comp, LMT A2 Comp, and Knight's Armament MAMS. I naturally wondered how these various devices compared to each other and flew off to YouTube to see if anybody had done a mass .308 AR muzzle device comparison like so many have been done of their little 5.56mm brothers. To my surprise, nothing this extensive existed (although Vuurwappen Blog's side-by-side is a damn fine benchmark). Cue, ".308AR Productions." This Saturday Bubbasks and I (and Robocop in spirit) will be filming a muzzle device comparison with our slew of toys. Below is the test plan. Let us know if there's something else you want to see! Rifle: -Stock LMT MWS 16" CL (Bubba's LR308 is too damn heavy to shoot standing all day and my PWS has a dead-blow buffer and is a piston system that might not replicate the common DI case). Test 1 - Standing Muzzle Movement: -Side view of standing and unsupported shooter. -Three to five rounds fired in slow succession letting the muzzle come back to the neutral/resting position. -Three to five rounds fired in rapid succession. -Concussion blast masochist observer 10ft away at a 30deg angle back from the muzzle's face. -Observer will have dB meter to record max sound intensity with each device. -Shooter and observer will note performance properties of muzzle devices (muzzle movement, recoil, concussive force, and sound pitch). -Video will be shown at full and slowed down speed (unfortunately can't do too slow since only have 60fps camera). Test 2 - Rotated Muzzle Movement: -Shooter will be crouched leaning to the side or lying on side as if shooting around a barrier. -Camera will observe debris blown off ground by muzzle device. -Three to five rounds fired in slow succession letting the muzzle come back to the neutral/resting position. -Three to five rounds fired in rapid succession. -Shooter will note performance properties of muzzle devices. -Video will be shown at full and slowed down speed. I'd love to add a "Test 3 - Flash Suppressing Performance," but I won't have enough time to stick around to film it this weekend :(. Ideally, we'll be able to get through both tests this weekend, but there's a chance we might only have enough time for the first one.

You can transfer all the "high capacity" magazines out of CA as you want. That reminds me... I have some legit 15 and 30rnd MP5 magazines lying around I acquired pre-ban I need to try to sell...

PSA has them.

10rnd, Gen 3, .308 PMAGs just released :)
