Done deal here folks... Sketch hooked me up! Thanks again!!

Turned out the one I found was for 5.56 and not 7.62... So.... I'm still looking!

Found one! Thanks folks!!

Not a bad idea. If I had other parts to order I'd go for it. Ordering just one part... The shipping would literally double the cost.

30 cal., 5/8 x 24

As the title says... I'm looking for a A2 flash hider to install until my Ultra-9 is release from jail.

Thanks folks! The Ma Ten build was a bit of a challange... Even for one who has countless "small" builds under his belt. The receiver / rail height differences were the most confusing. With the help of Precision Reflex everything came out pretty darn good as far as I can see. The Mk12 design may be outdated for some but it holds a firm place in my memories. Ahhhh.... Yes.... the time honored supressor issue. From what I gather, Ops Inc. is no more. I'm told my quest for a more auditory pleasing range session needs to be addressed by Allen Engineering. A AE30 might fit the bill nicely... IF I CAN EVER ESCAPE THIS POLITICALLY BRAIN DEAD NANNY STATE IN WHICH I CURRENTLY RESIDE!!!! >:( I live in the Land of 10,000 lakes and not one privately owned supressor!

It's seen a short range session so I figured I'd better post up... My Mk12 Mod0-ish big brother build. Maten Ambi Receiver Set. Craftsmanship at it's finest!! I may have to build up a set for my 5.56 Mk12 version. Geissele High Speed NM DMR trigger. (VERY SWEET trigger!!!) No name ambi safety. F.A. 18.5" with rifle gas, A.E. muzzle brake (Yes... I did use a Armalite rifle length gas tube... <thumbsup> ) Precision Reflex forearm, top rail and folding sights. Exceptional quality parts! I'll be using more of PRI kit in future builds. NiB BCG Magpul grip and mags. Basic A2 stock w/ Slash's buffer and spring. Vortex Viper PST 2.5x10-44 sitting in a Larue LT-120 mount. This is a temp set up until I purchase better glass... N.F.? Leupold? S&B? Dunno yet... Harris bipod connected to the forearm under-rail with a Larue LT-130 adapter So far, she's a 1MOA shooter, from the bipod using 150gr. cheapo factory ammo. I expect better performance with better ammo and warmer weather. Shooting out behind the barn in 20 degree weather is not conducive to decent accuracy. My guess it's the shivering that throws off my POA... :unsure: No feeding or firing issues to speak of. With the heavy buffer, this is a very easy shooting rifle. Almost too easy as it's gonna be tough to feed given the current powder availability...

My Armalite tube measured 15.5". And a DPMS tube I had measured 15.125". Sounds like we now have a 3rd length with the FAR tube at 15.450". But... old eyes and small text on the rule coud negate the .050" difference. I too have a FA barrel... 18.5" with rifle length gas. The Armalite tube extends a full 1.00" inside the receiver (Mega Maten). so far, with only 30 or so rounds down the pipe, not one feeding issue. Can't say for sure if the DPMS tube would have caused short stroking on my build, but confidence is high that it would have. So... Why the "need" for the longer tube? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yep!! That be the one!! Many thanks from this "search disfunctional" old fart. <thumbsup> This kind of confirms my suspicions... Comparing my laterst build with one of my AR-15's... the gas tube is about .25" shy on my .308. The DPMS tube is cuurently installed and a Armalite tube is on the way. Looks like a few extra tools will be coming along to the range. Thanks again!!

Seems I read here a while back of a member having issues due to a "short" gas tube. Seems the tube's protrusion into the upper receiver wasn't enough and switching from a regular "rifle length" tube to a Armalite rifle length tube solved his problems... I'm looking for THAT thread to refresh myself on the details. Anyone remember this? Or... Happen to have a link to the thread?

I've read reviews on the FA stainless barrels but not much on the chrome moly steel, chrome lined barrel... Anyone wth personal experience with this" Just wondering if the claims of the chrome lining (and chamber) not degrading accuracy are true... A range report would be awesome!! Anyone?

Whoa... Whoa... Whoa... I did NOT jack my own thread... Yet. ;) It was only a preemptive strike announcing more info and a possible solution will be inbound shortly. THEN... I'll issue a proper thread hijacking alert! I think I'm getting the hang ot this... How am I doin' boss? :banana:

Whoaaaa..... Maybe I shouldn't have asked. That was ugly! And the barrel porting was extra special!!

Anybody happen to have a link the "rifle butchering" thread mentioned above?
