I'm no longer selling these items because I can't afford to upgrade at this time, Thanks to all that showed interest in them.
-
Giving this a bump, I have still have all of this for sale and thanks to uncle sam I have to sell it before I can order what I want to replace it with.
-
Yes I do.
-
Dropping the price down to $350.
-
That was easy. There is a locking nut on the muzzle end of the barrel that I forgot to take off, I have to keep it.
-
-
Was hoping that I wouldn't have to take the barrel off until I knew that it had sold, can I just take pictures of the bolt, gas block and the barrel still mounted to the gun ?
-
Decided that I want to go with a longer barrel and the one I'm looking at comes with a matched bolt and different size on the gas port so need to sell what I have now, Barrel is a Rainier 16 inch 308 match stainless that I took time breaking it in according to Rainer's instructions, fire a round then clean for ten rounds, fire five then clean for the next twenty five rounds then clean after a day's outing. I have put 240 rounds thru it with no rapid fire rounds. Bolt has been headspaced for this barrel and is a JP Enterprises Enhanced Stainless. Gas block is a Syrac Ordnance Gen 2 that uses the squeeze clamp on the bottom. Gas tube is a standard mid-length tube that also goes with everything. I have right at $600 tied up in these parts so I'm asking $400 and I'll pay for reasonable shipping costs and I have a paypal account if that makes a difference. If interested send me a PM and I'll get back to you, generally I'm here once a day early in the morning.

Two Identical Mags, one works the other won't ?

Good news, I switched over to a Armalite magazine catch and all my magazines work now . -
Stuff that needs fixed and bug reports

I don't check in for a couple of days then I have to sign in but keep getting error message that I'm using the wrong password, have to reset it and I use the same password I always use and I'm back in until I skip stopping in for a couple days. Been like this since the update. -

Both mags are Gen's 3, I have a twenty round Pmag that I bought later but haven't had time to check it yet. My lower is an Aero Precision and I think they tend to run a little wider so a longer mag catch shaft wouldn't hurt to have. -
Bought two Magpul 10 round mags at the same time and one works fine and with the second one the round is never picked up and loaded, thought I saw a post about somebody else having this problem and it was the lever for the mag release that was causing it, suggestion was to switch to a Armalite lever, Does this sound right to anybody ?

Success... ^-^ Finally got my last part and tried it out last Tuesday, I have to admit I was nervous about firing that first shot, this was my first build and all the info to do it was taken from this site and youtube video's so I was 95% sure I had done it right but to be on the safe side I took a heavy wooden bench and sit it in the backyard and fired the gun from a mount while I crouched under the bench using a string to pull the trigger. My better half and her dad stood about 30 feet behind the gun and said even with the mount it jumped back about six inches but everything looked normal, I only put one round in it and with the adjustable gas block set at half open ( 2 1/2 turns ) it did lock open, Next shot I turned the block down a half of a turn and it locked again, I did this again till the block was open just one turn and on the second shot it failed to eject the shell so I opened it a half turn, the next five shots all cleared, unfortunately it started to rain so that's all I was able to do. All the parts I bought were to reduce recoil as much as possible so how well that works I can't say, the only guns that I have to compare it to would be a AK-47 and a 30-30 lever action and it kicks as hard as both of those do, Do want to add that the ammo I was using is the ZQ-1 that you get from your local wallyworld. Gun weighs in with no scope or magazine at 8 pounds and 4 ounces and with scope push's it up to 10 pounds and 8 1/2 ounces.

Ok lets try this again, first picture is before the mod and the second a little harder to see but the gap between the upper receiver and the rail is smaller.

I can't find a way to upload or link photo's thru photobucket, I have tried to use the gallery to upload directly from computer but can't find anyway of uploading them, In a post using the image button gives me a box to load URL's but when I insert the link and click the OK button it doesn't do anything, it won't let me cancel either, I have to use the back button or close the page to get out of it.
