Doesn't Chris have any LPK's available? I got mine from him

FYI Saltworks Rifles recently changed owners and is restructuring - they should be up and running again soon https://www.saltworksrifles.com/default.asp

And of course as expected, not legal on Kommiefornia! Doesn't seem too practical but looks like it might be fun to shoot on occasion

I was heavy into African Cichlids up to when the '94 Northridge Quake hit - the flood was epic, many tanks let go - had the entire back blow out of a 300 gallon breeding tank full of mature wild caught Frontosa - also remember hearing the sound of a 60 gallon setup being hurled into the air and landing on top of another 60 exploding both upon impact - pretty well ended my days of fishkeeping!

Glad to help - for the DPMS model, JSE Surplus has them pretty regularly (currently out) and has about the best price you'll find: http://www.jsesurplus.com/dpmsdetachablecarryhandlewitha2rearsightlr-308.aspx

AR15 Carry Handle looks out of place on the larger frame AR's - Here are 2 places that list them, the first seems to have them available and the second shows an 8 - 10 day backorder but has a "notify me" button - I'm not familiar with the firsy merchant but "LA Police Gear is near my house and is pretty reputable - I bought a Samson rail from them a while back, they are good to go. https://delta3tactical.com/store/products/Armalite-AR10-detachable-carry-handle.html http://www.lapolicegear.com/armalite-ar-ea5050.html Here is a pic of one of my 308's with a DPMS? 308 Carry Handle - the larger handle just looks proper!

Considering the latest from Turkey, anyone that likes ZQI for plinking etc might be wise to have a little extra on hand: http://www.sgammo.com/product/308-win-762x51-ammo/640-round-case-762x51-m80-ball-147-grain-fmj-zqi-ammo-sale https://www.targetsportsusa.com/zqi-ammunition-762x51mm-m80-ammo-147-grain-fmj-zqi762-p-58715.aspx

There's always this: https://ghostgunner.net/ or, just buy a finished lower and be happy - 80's can be very time consuming/$ consuming to do if you really want it nice - custom engraving, bead blast, anodizing or cerakote etc

I think this is it: http://outerarmortactical.com/products/exo-defense3-body-armor And it looks pretty damn good - as usual they'll probably outlaw them here (california) first, might be smart to try to scrape together the $ This looks nice too http://outerarmortactical.com/products/exo-defense4-body-armor

Just heard this fuker was using an SKS Rifle - at least it wasn't another AR incident, albeit still an "assault weapon" I'm sure the anti's will spin it to their advantage as usual - heartless bastards can't even wait for the tears to dry before they start flappin' their lips about "gun control"!!

Article from the Boston Globe.com: The FDA is stockpiling military weapons — and it’s not alone By Jeff Jacoby Globe Columnist June 26, 2016 America’s gun culture has been a subject of intense interest and controversy for years, with concerns frequently raised about shadowy militias, paramilitary extremists, and unstable zealots in possession of alarming quantities of explosives and firearms. Amid the current din over assault weapons and body armor, consider one domestic organization’s fearsome arsenal of military-style equipment. In the space of eight years, the group amassed a stockpile of pistols, shotguns, and semiautomatic rifles, along with ample supplies of ammunition, liquid explosives, gun scopes, and suppressors. In its cache as well are night-vision goggles, gas cannons, plus armored vests, drones, and surveillance equipment. Between 2006 and 2014, this organization spent nearly $4.8 million to arm itself. Yet its aggressive weapons buildup has drawn almost no public attention. Does all this firepower belong to a jihadist terror cell? A right-wing hate group? A vicious urban gang? None of the above. It is the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, an agency of the US Department of Agriculture, that has built up such a formidable collection of munitions. And far from being an outlier, it is one of dozens of federal agencies that spends lavishly on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment. A report issued this month by American Transparency, a nonpartisan watchdog that compiles data on public expenditures, chronicles the explosive — and expensive — trend toward militarizing federal agencies, most of which have no military responsibilities. Between 2006 and 2014, the report shows, 67 federal bureaus, departments, offices, and services spent at least $1.48 billion on ammunition and materiel one might expect to find in the hands of SWAT teams, Special Forces soldiers — or terrorists. The largest share of that spending has gone to traditional law enforcement agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the US Secret Service. But the arms race has metastasized to federal agencies with strictly regulatory or administrative functions. The Internal Revenue Service, for example, now spends more than $1 million annually on firearms, ammunition, and military gear, double what it was spending a decade ago. Since 2006, the Department of Veterans Affairs — which has been sharply criticized for episodes of fatal incompetence in patient care — has poured nearly $11.7 million into guns and ammo. Even the Smithsonian Institution and the Social Security Administration have each devoted hundreds of thousands of dollars to weaponry. Incredibly, there are now fewer US Marines than there are officers at federal administrative agencies with the authority to carry weapons and make arrests. The soaring growth of this federal arsenal alarms Adam Andrzejewski, the head of American Transparency’s OpenTheBooks.com, which researched and assembled the new report. “Just who,” he asks, “are the feds planning to battle?” Arguments long and loud about all the deadly firepower in the hands of private US citizens regularly engage liberals and conservatives. Far less notice has been paid to all the deadly firepower in the hands of federal bureaucrats. “The government itself has become a gun show that never adjourns,” remarks former US senator Tom Coburn. Dozens of federal agencies — entities that will never be called on to fight foreign enemies — now pack heat at unprecedented levels. Perhaps that, too, is something Americans should be arguing about.

Terrible!! and before the blood dries, the gun control stuff is brought up, I was watching on CNN the senator geraldine thompson (democrat of course) making a big fuss about how military type "assault rifles" and "large capacity magazines" need to be kept out of the hands of civilians - she went on to say she would be discussing that with the governor of Florida in the next few days - she seemed pretty determined to penalize anyone with a "black rifle" or a magazine that has any sort of a reasonable capacity for the terrorist actions of this looser - very reminiscent of the situation out here in california.

You would think that as an ex LEO he would be familiar with the difference between semi auto and full auto firearms consequently I don't feel there's much choice but to believe he's an outright liar deceiving both the legislature and the public! http://asmdc.org/members/a64/about/biography

Things are starting to look pretty bad for us out here - the new bills are gaining a lot of momentum through legislature with LEO exemptions added to quite a few of them to gain their endorsements - this stuff is gonna pretty well screw us law abiding citizens by restricting/neutering our choices of available firearms and availability of ammo - here is an example of the clueless mindset of the lawmakers we are dealing with here:

So, I see 98 made a "rare public appearance" It's great to see him back posting, I'm sure everyone will agree he has been missed - I look forward to an update on his 338 Federal/Matrix build and hopefully have him back in more discussions here - his experience and opinions not to mention his personality are a big part of 308AR.com!

Browser?

I will say that that KAK "Value" barrel looks suspiciously similar to the barrels Ares Armor was blowing out before the company changed names - Hmmmm I bought 2 of them and have only used one, seems to shoot well - certainly not match quality but decent and it headspaced well with a DPMS Bolt.

$7 a box? Perfecta 308 soft point? I've seen it at my local wallyworld stores but not at $7 a box - I'll check tomorrow to see what it's going for out here. Almost worth pulling the softpoints out and replacing them with a more desirable projectile.

Nice! Great Find! Making a barrel nut is within my means, I had to make one for the ODIN Works handguard I bought that had a rail height mismatch shown in this thread:

I am kinda liken that longer handguard pictured - did you get more than one of those?

Looks like Radical Firearms logo: http://www.radicalfirearms.com/category-s/1835.htm But, the design and the "ERGO" logo leads me to this: http://ergogrips.net/products/rail-systems/ergo-superlitetm-modular-keymod-rail-system-15.html The rails look very nice BTW

Well, unfortunately he is terming out this year and the choices for his successor are rather bleak to say the least - the 2A future of california is not too good these days.
