If there had of been any of the Nitro still in the wrappers you would have prolly have developed a splitting headache after smelling the nitroglycerine in the dynamite . probably had been exposed to the elements of the woods for many years. Was there any evidence of mining operations or stump removal in the near area?

I ate some once, cooked over a camp fire, back when the NRA Whittington Ranch was a primitive camping area, it didn't really taste like chicken. Quite bony and greasy. Would kill one and eat it if I really needed to eat something........

You could go to Amazon.com search and type in : sling swivels. There are several pages of swivels

When I bought my new in the box DPMS LR 308 Oracle at a Local gun shop, back in 2014, I asked the shop owner to install a front sling swivel, he removed the handguards and screwed in a QD sling swivel into the rifle, detached the QD swivel and replaced the handguards, I had never owned a LR308 before that.

Let us know what you find out, I have a LR308 Oracle that has the high gas block that could use a new handguard, however the original has been okay so far. I really haven't been "into the free floating handguards" before.

I knew a Corpsman like that once!

Welcome from Comanche County Texas

of course you already know that DPMS Gen 1 LR308 bolts have a single extractor and the Gen 2 bolts have 2 extractors.

MIDWAY has these on “sale” 200/ $199...$214 with shipping Convenient 20 Round Boxes 7.62mm IMI Match Headstamp Complies with MIL-C-46931F Specifications In use by the IDF, U.S. Army and NATO Forces This IMI 7.62x51mm NATO 168 Grain Razor Core Hollow Point Boat Tail ammunition is a great choice for shooters looking for an affordable target shooting round, training and practice. The optimized load and crimped primer make this an excellent option for semi-auto rifles. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases.

Has been true for me at least four times, some folks just never learn.

There is not any difference that I can see both the 175 and FGMM 168 are more accurate than I can shoot! That price would encourage me to buy the 175 FGMM.

Be sure to click the sound on!

Bad lighting.

Anyone that thinks our kids mean more to those that are in charge of where the money allocated toward "Education" of our children goes hasn't been paying attention to how much school administrators are played compared to how much schoolwork teachers are paid or how safe the big yellow-dog buses are. Hell they don't even have seatbelts!

Are you talking about this Farnam dude?

That is what we do, it is a man thang , so says my wife, of course there some worser thangs, like for instance , a woman thang!. We live and learn. We expect to pay more and therefore get better stuff, but sometimes it is the S.O.S (same old Stuff) just sold by a glib tongued a$$hole... so live and learn, another man's thang....... Welcome to the forum, we all have one thang in common, or maybe several thangs in common......

Yep, like Shepp says, and it is too bad that you are only 30 and you lost your memory, a mind is something bad to lose, Maybe you can get better. Stay out of the sun.

I really don't see how the Remington 1100 or Ithaca 51 action with a detachable mag or the original tube be bested without a bunch of investment cash. (why re-invent the wheel?)

They probably wouldn't be able to collect the life insurance if they murder you and mutilate your body! LOL

"I would think" ....could that be a WAG about doing break in on a LR 308, or do you have good documentation , like from the manufacture?

AMEN!
