I will vouch for the weight of that 18.5" barrel. Although a nice shooter that sucker is heavy.

A whole different kind of sport. Must feel so weird shooting a rifle like this. Anybody here ever get into this? Link

THIS. hell if it works leave em in there <laughs> your problem has absolutely nothing to do with the retaining pin. BCG is blowing back too far when cycled. EDIT: are you missing this by any chance?

thats funny

Welcome from RI

Wow, really shrunk that group up nice. Looks like you got it dialed in.

I'd call that a bonus!

Just give it to me I'll "unload" it for ya.

Congrats! breath easy and drink a cold one

Welcome from RI. Come to the right place you did

I wonder if Matt will be packin a 1911 shoulder holster to the interview?

Its funny this thread came back up. Ive been talking with a friend of mine about piecing together an M1A and just building one a little at a time. Think I would also do a 16" barrel.

this place is a "community" all right

Now THAT would be cool. It's a 10mm, but that shell isn't quite big enough for a forward assist.

Thats pretty wild, I like the look.

I need to anodize this project so I'll stop modifying stuff

I'm just busting your ass

Are you saying my block isnt neat? <laughs> It looks just like the above block only the gas tube hole continues thru. The set screw right above the barrel is still there.

Block is stainless steel, gas port is about .145 but its adjustable so it doesn't really matter. #10-32 set screws 1/2" apart on underside. Also #10 set screws for the gas adjustment. It doesnt look "exactly" like the one in the pic, its missing that sexy radius on the corners and the hole for the tube is drilled through. I will post actual pics later if you want. I only have the block you need to get your own gas tube. The only place I could find a straight gas tube was Precision reflex

My own design

Stewart, I actually have an extra one of these. Its the double set screw type though. But .936 that uses a straight tube.

I watched that for longer than I should have

this would have been funny
