  1. Welcome from eastern Nebraska
  2. Thank you to all the men and women who have been willing to put their life on the line for the rest of us.
  3. I went to Heavybuffers.com and bought Clint's Car-10 buffer and spring combo, weight is 5.5 oz. and the spring is matched to the buffer, works like a champ. He has them in stock if not he manufactures them he will get one built in short order. Get in touch with an email and let him know what you have got , he will have a solution. My trigger issue was with a POF aftermarket trigger not the stock trigger. did find a small dab of grease on the disconnector "hook", cleaned that off, but haven't been to the range since to give it a try. good luck.
  4. I have two of these barrels, one in 223 the other in 6,5 Grendel, my limited experience agrees with 98's assessment. I have no regrets on either purchase.
  5. Following up on the 48 hour rule on the Odin Works adjustable buffer. Gave up on 98's recommendation of tuning my Grendel with a VLTOR A5 system, couldn't find one anywhere. Purchased the Odin buffer from Joe Bob's and a Wilson X power spring from Clint at Heavy Buffers, the goal being to duplicate the A5 system as close as possible. after some experimenting set the buffer to the max of 5.8 oz. Worked like a champ, brass in a neat pile at 4:00. Bolt locks on an empty mag, cycles Am. Gunner and Wolf. Has tamed the recoil, I can almost see the impacts thru the scope at 100 yds. Will give any one who purchases one a bit of advise, Set the large allen screw to a depth just a few thou below the face of the buffer, mark the face of the screw where the lock screw will make contact with the threads on the large screw. Remove the large screw and file a small flat on the threads where the lock screw will make contact. If not the large threads could be "dinged" when locking down the small lock screw. these "dings" could then damage the internal threads of the buffer when removed. Ask me how I know. After chasing the internal threads of the buffer I took the additional step of placing a small piece of 14 gage copper wire under the small lock screw and tightened it down, on the filed flat, the copper preventing any further damage. I like the ability of this buffer to tune a particular rifle with out having to have several buffers on hand. . I am pleased with the buffer and hope this fulfills my "obligations" under the 48 hour rule.

  18. Welcome from Nebraska
  19. Thanks tp MikedaddyH and Albroswift for the info, this is great news as I have quite a few small pistol mag primers. Maybe enough to get me thru the current BS.
  20. Thanks I appreciate the info..
  21. I don't have many small pistol primers left in the stash, Is it possible to work up a 9mm load substituting small magnum primers, or is this out of the question?
  22. Welcome to the best site on the net from eastern Nebraska
  23. welcome from eastern Nebraska
  24. "If he gets an 18" Grendel Upper kit before I do, that's when I'll get pissed..." Not to worry, this trigger completes my 6.5 G. No upper in the pipeline! !
  25. been watching there site for a month or so, always the same, "out of stock". This time it didn't indicate anything about stock availability, took a shot and got lucky. sounds like he has quite a back order list.
