looks okay, did you get a lot off the MRP of $1600?

hello wild rose. I thought about a deer stand in the driveway but I can just shoot deer out of my bedroom window. I live on a Corp of Engineers lake. In the cross timbers area of Central Texas. I do some grilling an fishing.

Welcome again from Texas, the lone star state!

maybe he is talking about the height of the gas tube at the gas port block, and the same gas tube would be able to be inserted in the receiver extension hole because the tube is kind of flexable at the rear end, so you could use a couple of different gas port blocks with the slotted forearm adapter and have the tube still line up with the key on top of the bolt carrier. Just guessing. I have been told that here are two different heights on DPMS uppers. FYI: from Troy Industries; How to tell what type of DPMS LR-308 receiver you have: IMPORTANT: DPMS, BUSHMASTER & REMINGTON may have two different height upper receivers. Please reference Rifle Technology Page for more information. The new “Low Profile” upper receiver has a 1/8″ wide top portion where the charging handle is installed. The older “High Profile” upper receiver has a 3/16″ wide top portion where the charging handle is installed.

Hey 911 dispatch, we gotta problem out here in the mesquite patch. We need a debuttie sheriff and the medical examiner and send your slowest ambulance too. A sleaze bag has bled out on my driveway, again.

Muzzle velocity of ammo is one of the most important factors in effective sound suppression. The.308 cartridge probably could be loaded to below a sonic (1150 ft/sec) mv but the cartridge case has a really too large capacity. The 300BLK is more adaptable for subsonic MV. The 5.56/.223 gets it energy from high velocity and in my opinion is a poor choice for suppression except paper punching outpast 100 meters. Even the.22 long rifle round needs to be subsonic to be an effective suppressed close range pistol round. Precision machining is probably as important as any factor right along with the gas expansion volume and baffling of the can if you want the system to be portable.

Yes, all of that sounds delicious. There are very few days I can't grill. my wife will brown up some beef and make a big pot of stew, with some fresh produce or even some canned Vegall, rotiel tomatoes and taters and onions with a couple of Jalapenos from the fridge . Thank goodness for fresh produce being hauled in daily. I used to do a garden but now we have several local produce and farmers markets that supply us with good stuff. I still like to raise some different kinds of peppers and make some salsa, pico and pepper sauce.

"Man don't live by bread and meat alone" I like my grill good and hot to sear in the juices so while the grill is heating up the veggies go onto the warming rack. Yeller squash, thin slices of taters & onions,tomaters, bell pepper slices a sprinkling of garlic salt and a drizzling of olive oil and a topping off with some sharp cheddar cheese. Double wrapped in foil and separately wrapped roasting ears well buttered salt and peppered. After the veggies have been on for 15minutes on high heat slap on the ribeyes or porterhouse steaks smeared with Woodies cooking sauce, flip the meat and when both sides are a nice brown take everything off and EAT! It is only forty days till spring is sprung....Today was like spring here in Texas.

Sorry about sitting in the wrong pew, thanks for moving it to here

I was a FDC guy back in the 1960s we shot a lot of !55s 105s but my son retired from the US Army and he shot a bunch of these in Iraq, he says if you shoot some of these you won't want to go back to an AR.

Looks pretty good for the conditions! What powder? Was the rifle canted a little to the left? were you shooting off a bi-pod ?

I used the Burris extra high on my LR308 and it made the center of the scope almost 3 inches above the center of the muzzle. That seemed awfully tall but it feels comfortable and leaves room for fold down irons.

Man you gotta love that picture! I had a senior drill instructor just like bro Emory..... RIP Gunnery Sgt. Ijames (Platoon 341 MCRD 1960)

Sounds like a good choice to me and a very fair price.

Lo-what-isits. Is that one of Bill O'Really's words?.......splain that to this old Jarhead shooter, please

Lancet1, It is possible that the extractor let go of the cartridge rim because of the short gas tube rather than a weak extractor spring. On the DI gas system, part of the gas entering into the BCG pushes forward against the bolt to delay the bolt from opening before the pressure inside the cartridge case drops to a level to allow extraction. Your original extractor and spring may work fine with the new longer gas tube.

I have an older Wyler Incaflux that Wife gave me one Christmas around 1974. It outlasted all the battery powered jobs I have. It is my everyday watch stainless. I set it and wind it every other Sunday.It runs about a minute slow a month. Just tells time no calendar. I think it really likes a hard recoiling firearm. Maybe recoil is good for winding the auto winder.I expect it will out live me.

I have my first.22 a Remington 550 semi-auto that shoots shorts,longs, and long rifles in any mixture. Probably has 10K rounds thru it. It has a floating chamber just a bit longer than a .22 short case . Winchester .22 long rifle shells will fire but the soft brass case will bulge between the front of the floating chamber and fail to eject. The rifle has to be disassembled and the case cut off. Remington and CCI cases are harder brass and don't ever jam. Now If I buy Winchester.22 I only buy shorts. I have never had a fail to fire in any of my.22 rimfires with Remington and CCI. I Also HAVE Ruger .22 semiautomatic pistol 10-22, a Colt frontier scout, a Ansultz 64, a Winchester 53 Marlin 39, high standard 9 shot revolver my 4 children all grew up shooting these after starting on Daisy BB Guns and an old Stevens .22 single shot bolt action.

Never was fortunate to have the clap but had a good time in T-town passed my short-arm inspection on my single shot. It was strange once a guy in my motor pool at Pendleton went to T-town to get a gold tooth and a tattoo, came back to work with VD I had to escort him to Balboa for shots. Wheels topic? I drove him to Balboa in a Mighty Mite.

Once I had a B-73 Mack twin screw with a 250 Cummings,5th direct and a 3 speed auxiliary! Also had a XKE Jag., a Corvair Monza.

I a dues paying member (Tahoe-Drivin-on-ice) of the Hacsaw tribe also had a vision: Pats will inflate 12 football s to 12.667 PSI.....with Helium!

Hello Magwa! BTW all of Texas ain'tt flat and we have salmon. I shoot one every once in a while when they are trying to eat the crappies out of the crappie hole. he he. Don't they taste a lot like bugle mouth bass? Kyle and Alexander were shot just a few miles away from here, that is the true tragedy of the story. Such a waste.... Anyway you would be welcome to come to Texas, we do eat a lot of our native meat, it is where the beef is!

I haven't found much of a place to convert US dollars to noise here in Comanche County. We had a nice indoor pistol range but it went South with the economic boom (more of a fizzle) of the last 6 years. I was a member of the Pampa R&P club back in the 1970s and enjoyed their 500 yard range. About 1983 I got involved with the chasing the oil patch bust. I really need to sight in several scopes could use 200 yards. Anyone shoot at Brown County or Erath County?

Wow that is better than 6 for $14.96 at Amazon, with free shipping....but I don't have a costco card

Oh dear, Dallas wins a first playoff game in years and it has to be rigged! looked like it was rigged for Detroit to win up till forth Q. Detroit couldn't win without their "defensive stepper-on-er-leg lineman" being suspended for stepping on pore old A. Rogers sore leg! ...That was funny, my kind of football (After all it is called FOOTball. Carolina won over Arizona by rigging the game ? Any way it is good entertainment, better than Two Broke Girls and most of the broadcast networks are putting on. It causes more sales of Imodian pills for diarriea. Duck Dynasty and Pawn Stars and American Pickers run 99% reruns so just keep on using the internet and posting about your 380AR. Anyone notice how the SEC football conference got their come-up-tance? WOW the ESPN folks got thrown a curve ball, slider, change up for a shut out on their predictions.
