Way cool party there.

I was thinking the floor plate retainer might have a deformity, but then you said multiple mags. Interesting challenge from this side of the problem, best of luck. What would make the second to last ass end of a bullet sit higher than normal? Old springs? Follower? Gotta be gremlins.

where can I buy some? Did a search but came up empty.

It's a poor word game going on. They can't use AR-10 unless it's an ARMALITE. Those rifles are DPMS compatible. They are two different animals. Welcome to the 308 semi world. I may get my bASS hairs singed in a moment but wanted to offer my 2 cents.

There be monsters among us.

Looks like great fun, glad you men had a successful trip.

Best wishes sent for a terrific time folks.

Good stuff for sure, thank you for posting.

DSGARMS has them now.

Cool, I'm glad I visited HF. Craftsmen in some stores treat you well, some don't. Loud and clear on the stealing end. Some folks will do anything for money, except work.

Cool, thanks for the information, especially on money saving coupons. Before anyone thinks I'm getting down on Harbor Freight, it is not my intention. I'm talking power tools that were sold 25 years ago. I bought high end tools when working in the field. While I didn't visit HF for power tools this time out, I'm sure many people are overjoyed with their tools. I can see why. I am recommending a visit to HF, it was worth my while and believe it is worth your time. The breaker bar I bought is for removing a barrel nut, and not using the torque wrench or socket wrenches I already own. I bought Proto back in the day for breaking nuts and bolts on 8" flange valves. I'm not going to spend big bucks for tools I expect to use occasionally. Proto breaker bar at Grainger $101--- Harbor Freight $13. I'm going HF on this one for gunsmithing in a home shop. I'm not showing up at NASA with anything less than Proto. In any event that wood tool chest is already in use and worth a look at.

Thanks, I've been wanting to visit a Harbor Freight for thirty years and never went in. A couple of fellow construction workers bought in reciprocating saws from HF and they really weren't up to snuff for heavy duty building, so I assumed all their stuff was ' less than ' stellar. Too bad my wife was along yesterday or I would've bought a lot more stuff. 18" x 1/2" socket breaker bar $13, 3 sets of Allen and torx wrenches $6, tarps $3. They also had some woodcraft children's models for .99 cents, good holiday basket packing stuff for the kids. I bought a 6" caliper for a backup. I did not get the micrometer, although I will. I had more fun at that HF store than I did my first visit to a Sear's toolshed. I believe it might be a good place for our first time builder's crowd for many tools. BTW it was my wife who talked me into the wooden box. She likes neat, and assumed my cardboard box filing system would disappear. Hmm well maybe.

I went to Harbor Freight for an inexpensive breaker bar, found some good buys, but this wood tool chest copped the cake. It's like a jewelry box for parts and nice looking. On sale from whatever to $75. I had the 20% coupon for one item which bought it down to $60. I thought it worthwhile enough to offer a head's up.

Watched a video on this stuff, water soluble, relatively quick dry, with both oven and free dry. Used with 120 grit for prep, nice job. First cup of coffee not completed yet, need to recheck my assumptions.

Nifty little addition those set screws, saved some cussing in Fla. for sure.

OK, he gets the nod for handling guns.

Youtube.com/watch?v=6p5x0nxtqVs, thought this was a cool find. Gordan Ramsey from the git.

@Pete, John still runs the matches. State Championships are the best big/little matches you'll ever want to attempt or attend. Prizes, both skill and luck of the draw. Once a year an introduction type clinic, and several matches, open to the shooting public. $30 non member. Arrive early, volunteer to help set up, if you're able, and have a great day. Last Championship I attended a young woman took top honors. Her Dad I believe was a USMC instructor, and she had been shooting from an early age. Good Luck.

Good for you, better for the puppy, and terrific for that little angel there.

Zero for me. Wind conditions not right, still waters. Some yellowtail and one nice mutton. Fishing trips are worthwhile, let me know.

Nice job Sir. I'm fifteen minutes away from leaving on a fishing trip. Just going to " Living on Island Time ." Reports follow. Off of Hypoluxo and Dixie Hgwy., Sisco.

Shoot a high power match at CJRPC, non member entry to the place. This way you get to shoot, they take exceptionally good care of beginners, have loaner equipment from spotting scopes to rifles. Also it's a good way to see the club since you will have access. Range 14 was cool as well. Since you are here in semi auto land I assume CJRPC is worth a shot. It's the beginning of the season and you do not need to be a member, you'll need to pay $5 more than a member but it's a terrific place to go to. Check them out online. If John is still running the competitions you'll find he is an exceptional gentleman, just don't do anything stupid, his demeanor cuts like a knife. @Pete

What? Feb. and no OK yet? Hope my LGS isn't farting around.

Building the 6.5, 5/8x24. Thanks Sisco, I'll add pics soon.
