I now have seen one other buffer tube/spring combination this short and it was a thread here. From this post: FYI... PSA using 2 different buffer system lengths andbfoosh006 stated: Here are the measured weights and lengths between the "New" and "Older" versions. Again, remember these parts do not interchange... unless you the complete buffer system ( DPMS v. Armalite ) New / Armalite / Longer.......................... Older / DPMS / Shorter Supplied OEM PSA buffer ............ ( Both are way to light IMHO, they should be min. 5.4oz ) .....3.8oz / OAL 3.260"...................................3.8oz / OAL 2.5" Supplied OEM PSA Buffer Tube...... .....5.0oz / OAL 7 7/8" ..................................5.0oz / OAL 7 1/4" Supplied OEM PSA Buffer Spring..... ......1.5oz / OAL 11 3/8" / 29coils..................1.5oz / OAL 10 5/8" / 28coils His buffer, spring, and buffer tube measurements are identical to mine or within measurement method differences. When the BCG is fully pulled back with the charge handle the bolt is .1" - 1/8" behind the bolt catch. The rifle has functioned perfectly including hold back on empty magazine since its first shot. It just ejected brass about 8-10 feet out at 1:00.

It came off a Nemo arms rifle? If so how did you get it off? If it is going on a Nemo arms rifle, the rifle makes no difference as long as its a 308 barrel nut and a 308 upper with the same thread pattern. Who made the handguard it is for? My first step would be to contact them.

I've been reading with great interest all the threads detailing the need for proper length buffer tubes, springs and buffers, and the companies that manage to get them wrong. I have always thanked my lucky stars to have put together my 308AR with parts from scattered sources not knowing what I was getting and having the rifle work perfectly from day one without any of the issues I have read about. Today I measured the inside length of the buffer tube that is on it and its only 6 7/8" inside length! 7 1/4" outside length! WTF? Was supposed to be a milspec carbine tube. The spring is 10 3/4" long with 26-27 coils. .078 wire diameter. It ran fine with the original 3.8oz, 2.5" buffer but ejected out to about 1:00. I recently put in a 5.4oz KAK 308 buffer to try to tame the ejection a bit and it worked to a degree. My questions are: Has anyone heard of a tube this short? Would getting a proper length tube give me any benefits? Should I just leave well enough alone and be grateful that it eats whatever I put through it?

With our Lab puppy we litter trained him. We had a large tray from a big dog kennel (2X3 ft) and a tile floored bathroom. We used some litter to absorb an "accident" to pre-scent the litter in the tray and kept it along with his bed in that bathroom at night or when we were away from home. A dog will generally not want to soil its bed and having the scented litter tray close by got the idea across to him that he should go there. It was kinda funny watching a puppy use a litter box but it worked. Right up until he was about 4 months old and big enough to have the bombsight over the litter but the bomb bay door over the floor. By then it was an easy matter to get him going to the door.

I have 3 of their 15" slim handguards that I got for a great deal. Couldn't pass up the price. They are sturdy and installed easily.

I'll second the Awwww. How does she like the sick white crap that is on the ground in the pictures? I'm glad to see we aren't the only place in WI with that stuff still around. 12-16" of it on level ground in the woods.

Grendels short and long!!! We shoot them all!!

Welcome from WI. Have you found http://www.65grendel.com/forum/ 98Z and I are both over there too.

End around? They aren't getting around any law. They have designed a magazine for AR15s that works WITHIN the current laws of Californistan. American ingenuity at its best.

My wife watched the clip with me. Her first comment was "thats scary".

FMJ ammo no matter who makes it IS NOT legal to use for hunting game animals in most states. For game animals it must expand. Here in WI you can use FMJ for Coyotes. They aren't considered game animals

Dateline: 4/1/18 "Northwoods Ordinance Works has announced the introduction of the largest subsonic AR15 round to date. The .50 caliber bullet is to be called the 50 Ma-Beo in honor of its major components. A 750 grain, .50 caliber subsonic expanding bullet derived from what is currently used in the .50 caliber Browning machine gun, commonly called the Ma Deuce, seated in a 50 Beowulf case. The huge round will have a muzzle velocity of approximately 1020 fps and an expansion threshold down to 700 fps. It eclipses all previous subsonic loadings for the AR15 platform in size, weight, and performance downrange." Company spokesmen have revealed that the new round will function in any AR15 with three simple modifications. First: The barrel must be changed to accomodate the larger round. Second: A 50 Beowulf bolt must be used. Third: A special non-magazine must be used due to the rounds length. Each round must be single loaded and fired. They will not fit in any standard AR15 magazine. Some may see this as a detrimental factor in the new round gaining popularity but for those who want the biggest thumping bullet possible it is now available. Preorders are now being accepted for this new devestating combination.

The teacher in a Catholic grade school was just beginning her second grade religion class. She asked the students what part of the body they thought went to heaven first when we died? Little Bobby raised his hand and shouted "I know, I know". "OK Bobby tell us", the teacher said. "Your hand goes to heaven first, because when you raise it, it is closest to heaven!" The teacher looked at Bobby, smiled and said, "Thats pretty good thinking Bobby, does anyone else have a guess?" Little Suzie raised her hand, thought a minute and said, "I think your head goes to heaven first because when you walk down the street your head is closest heaven." The teacher praised Suzie for coming up with another good guess. Then little Johnnie raised his hand as high as he could and waved it as he yelled "me! me! me!" The teacher looked over at Johnnie, scowled at his boisterous antics and finally relented and called on him. "I think your feet go to heaven first!" "Why your feet?" The teacher asked Johnnie with a confused look on her face. Johnnie puffed out his little chest, and with an all knowing look on his face faced the teacher and said: "This past Saturday morning when I got up to watch cartoons there were noises coming from Mommy and Daddies room. I peeked inside and Mommy was laying in bed on her back and Daddy was trying to hold her down." ""All I could do was watch, and then she started screaming, "OH GOD YES, I'M COMING, I'M COMING!"

If you got the beer, I've got the apples. I'll even donate them to a good cause.

Never have I seen a group of people take a two word opening post and derail a thread so fast! It wasn't even hijacked! It was completely derailed down into the ditch and off into the bushes!

You have already crossed over to the darkside by being here. This group of enabling gun nuts will help you drain your wallet faster than you can imagine. They will also get you through any misfortunes that pop up along the way toward rifle perfection

Yeah I know about the impatience part. I've got all the parts for the upper waiting here for the barrel to arrive. Then I get to decide if the short Grendel upper goes on my SBR lower or on the pistol lower I already have. Either way what is now black will get camo'd to match my 8" Blackout.

Hey Bro! Since I know you have a Grendel in the stable and all rifles reproduce and have little ones. http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showthread.php?15972-OPEN-65G-MONSTER-12-7-Barrel-Buy-155-12S-amp-H Thought I'de do a bit of enabling.

We have landscapes and tractor supply in WI. As well as similar weather to much of NY.

At your age and with your interests I'de run NOT WALK as fast as possible after your marriage to a free state.

Suppressed .223 sounds like a 22LR when shot.

The law never changed. The suppressor itself is $200 tax stamped to purchase or build it. There is nothing in any application process that you tell them what kind of rifle it is going on. You have to state what caliber suppressor you are going to make for a form 1 but that only covers the hole size of the suppressor. You can run a 30 cal suppressor on anything from 30 caliber on down as long as you can put up with the little bit of extra noise due to smaller bullets flying through the 30 cal holes of the baffles. As far as my SBR lower goes, it is only the lower that is tax stamped. I can put any short barrelled upper on it I have. The SBR lower and the can are tax stamped which allows me and my trustees to possess them. What they go on or get attached to is up to me. Yes I certainly agree that suppressors need to be off the NFA list. At least its legal to hunt with SBRs and suppressors here in WI as long as you have the stamps for them.

I've got a 10" form 1 can that currently lives on my 300BLK 8" SBR. Makes it BB gun quiet with subs. All I have to do is put on the proper muzzle device and I can move it between the SBR, 16" BLK, 18" 6.5 Grendel, soon to have 12.7" Grendel upper, and my 308 AR. All of them have the same muzzle threads.

I keep wondering what it is going to do when I start loading rounds specifically for it. The ones I have on hand also work great in my 8" SBR.

That could be.... I hope so anyway. As far as the rest goes, all it is is a Caldwell 7-rest. It folds almost flat and pretty much lives in the back seat of my Jimmy. With my ARs, whether they are .223, 300BLK, 6.5 Grendel, or .308 I've found I shoot them better by just resting them against my shoulder and resting my left hand on the front arm of the 7-rest. No pulling it tight or solid grip. Just let the rifle kick to where ever it goes after the shot. At least for bench shooting. A bit like the loose grip used for vertical bow shooting so you don't torque the shot one way or another.
