  1. I would think it doesn't necessarily have to jam the bullet into the lands to cause a pressure spike. Try handloading a dummy round with very little crimp, and 0.020 extra long or as long as you can fit in magazine, sharpie it up and see if it hits the lands or is pushed back. I have no idea wat a 6.5 in an autoloader should have but I'd guess 10 or 15 thou minimum. Internet is all over the place like 20 to 100 thou for AR's. The one we built a couple years back did pierce primers with a 308 bolt, went to the SRC dual ejector just because I had one on the shelf but later figured out somehow I had a 308 bolt with a small dia firing pin so that may have been the primer issue.
  2. Never know, might want to re-rent and double check. Did you fire the same ammo with the DPMS bolt? Do you still have the DPMS bolt? Agree with above looks like overly hot ammo but different brands of commercial all doing the same thing seems unusual, but I don't shoot commercial except to test new builds. See what the chrono shows.
  3. Maybe things to check, does unfired ammo that has been chambered from full back bolt extract easily? Can you slowly chamber a round fully? Do you have access to chamber gauges?
  4. Soak in mobile 1 See what you have under the extractor- Dougnut, spring, tiny spring inside the spring? Weigh the H3 The swipes do not look like rounded ejectors When it locks back does it lock on the bolt face 100% or maybe just the bolt carrier? 100% sure EA1095? Look through the questions on the waterboarding thread, maybe find a clue there
  5. Great graphics. Did you do the magazine with a laser?
  6. When they stopped teaching American and world history and replaced it with social studies the downward spiral began.
  7. One is on a 458 really like it. One is on a 12ga. Really like that one too. Brother has one on his 6.5 CM
  8. It's a good stock, have them on a couple builds.
  9. Totally awe inspiring! Looks like something I should be doing. 20 or 30 years ago I was using a film camera and a modified flash dialed down to a few microseconds with a sound trigger to get photos of bullets but never thought of shooting one with the other. Developing the film added weeks to what the digital can do in a few seconds. Also had to work in complete darkness. $hit has come a long way!
  10. Mine was a new build all cerakote finish so didn't have to match anything, but the Graphite Black Cerakote looks close to a lot of the annodizing to me. I was looking at photos, front was a little long also, had to do just a little bit of relief so the handguard retainer would clear ... Here is the whole build if interested, had a lot of fun with it. http://albroswift.com/308Commando.html
  11. The RR carry handle is just a little long, can be left overhanging or trimmed. Also need a recess in the receiver for the sight adjustment post. $185.00. You really have to want one to go through the effort. I really wanted one.
  12. Looks good. We grind 12-13 lbs special trimming or lean trimmings with 5 lbs of bacon and press into burger patties, come out great. Like to try the smash burger approach.
  13. I like the riflespeed AGB. Only thing I'm curious about, the way they measure the tube did you have to buy/ mount the AGB, Then take the measurement, then order the straight tube?
  14. Looks like CDNN bought out all the Anderson Manufacturing inventory. Lots of barrel configurations and spare parts.
  15. if you milled off the back the rifle tube would stick out the front. I'd go back to your carbine extension, if it runs don't fuk with it. Find a stock you like that fits the carbine extension there are plenty! If you want a rifle build one you already have a good start with an extension, we have started with less. Welcome to the forum!!!
  16. I see what you are looking at, but if it's a carbine endplate where does the tab go?
  17. Problem I see just looking at the photo is the rifle extension is threaded in about the right amount. If you threaded it in far enough to catch the keeper (Incorrectly located), it would interfere with the upper when closing. Most carbine extensions I am familiar with have extra meat down where it contacts the buffer retainer. If you thread in the rifle extension far enough to retain the pin you may have to file some off the top to fit it .
  18. Wonder how long he held on before he dropped to the pavement.
  19. Awesome, thanks!
  20. Seems strange but looks like pretty nice scope. Brother didn't have any paperwork, what is the procedure for focusing the reticle? Start high power or low power or middle? Takes 2 hands to focus reticle, one to hold the zoom and one to twist eyepiece, or am I missing something?
  21. Friend just put a nightforce on his shooter, eyepiece rotates with zoom. Is that normal? Locking ring tight or loose doesn't matter
  22. Started reading about them until a big banner offering 10% off popped up right in the middle of the page with no obvious X to close, and a chat window popped up, so I closed the whole page out and moved on. Told them about it in the chat first though, just a bot judging from the instantaneous long winded response!
  23. Mine expired a few months after the warranty expired. Buttons quit working. Did call the company. 2 pairs of Pro golds both started exhibiting problems, old pair had a 5 year warranty, went a good year after the 5 year warranty expired, then the right channel started screeching, the newer pair went a year after the 1 year warranty expired same issue. The pink Pro Ears I got for the woman still working. Talked to the shop about all 4, obviously I'm a repeat customer and 3 for 4 you would think they would do something to make there customer feel valued, but no, they toed the line on the warranties. Did get a nice "I'm Sorry" out of them, that and $5.00 will get you a cup of coffee at starbucks. I'm looking for a different brand for the next pair. Expensive ear protection should come with more then a 1 year warranty.
  24. Had the 10mm blaster out to the range a few times over the last month, has been 100% reliably chewing through everything from light tightgroup loads to full blow AA#9 loads and brass is coming out in reloadable condition. Shoots the loads I use in my 1911s, the ladder loads I worked up for the carbine, factory 180 Federals, and a good bullet puller for anything that says 10mm laying around on the bench and floor. Adding the weighted spacer in front of the heavy buffer seems to function fine, no issues. Might have even improved the deadblow effect, feels really good when cycling. Scoring the JRC 8-1/2" internal depth carbine extension was the final piece of the puzzle. Guy on a muzzleloader forum pointed me to that, believe it or not.
