  1. The upper has nothing to do with it. You are over complicating your life. The buffer and buffer spring are dependent on the type of stock not the upper or gas tube length
  2. This is great.
  3. yep I misread the question <thumbsup> The buffer and spring only relate to the stock being used.
  4. Scope leveling is one of the few things I'm OCD with on rifles. The Badger Ordnance Dead Level Scope Leveling Device is an expensive but interesting way to get those crosshairs level without using the firearm itself.

    Compromise

    For some time now I have been having lengthy discussions with co-workers about their choice for President. They are always eager to point out that the Republicans never compromise on anything. Apparently much like the President and his party the definition of compromise is lost on them. It's ok if the White House refuses to budge and basically says it's our way or no way but of the other side of the isle digs in "The republicans wont compromise" Definition - An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions. Democrat definition of compromise - cave to our demands
  8. Somehow the only thing I got out of that was "Strap on" <laughs>
  9. Brownells is now listing the Geissele Reaction Rod in their online catalog. Cheaper than I had anticipated $61.99.
  10. Man I have issues. I can tell you guys how many times I watched the video where the camera man follows her ass. I was even watching it on my phone in the office mens room.
  11. no the 300AAC is for AR15 sized lowers
  12. yep and there are anti 2a republicans too
  13. Members and staff of 308ar.com graciously devote their valuable time and energy to helping others here on the site all the while asking NOTHING in return. While we understand these are trying times and firearm parts are being traded at 20-10x or more their normal price we will not tolerate that here. Not at all, not one bit. We are not opposed to a higher than normal profit but we are opposed to gouging and find it offensive to all that we try to accomplish here. Any one deemed by the staff to be gouging will be banned for 14 days. A second offense will result in a permanent ban. Threads will be deleted without explanation. If you are responding to a "WTB" request and your going to gouge I suggest you present your offer via PM. Buyers - Your on your own if you choose to pay ridiculous prices that promote this behavior All transactions are between the buyer and seller and in no way shape or form will the staff mediate disputes. I suggest reading the good to go thread. If the member is not listed there ask for go to go references at other sites.
  14. Sorry guys, my health is kicking my ass for a few days now. Cant even stand upright. Back on meds. Maybe tomorrow
  15. You likely have a cellphone that you bought from a carrier, like AT&T, Verizon or Sprint, and that phone only works on that carrier's cellular and data network -- unless you "unlock" it. That is a software process that allows the phone to work on other carriers if you put in a new SIM card or want to take the phone to another carrier for service. If that sounds complicated to you and like something you wouldn't bother with, then today's news won't matter to you. But if that's something you've done before or have thought about doing, then you should know that starting today it is illegal to unlock a subsidized phone or tablet that's bought through a U.S. carrier. Why now? Starting today, the U.S. Copyright Office and Library of Congress are no longer allowing phone unlocking as an exemption under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). You can read the full docket here but, in short, it is illegal to unlock a phone from a carrier unless you have that carrier's permission to do so. If you're wondering what this has to do with copyright, it turns out not much. "It wasn't a good ruling," Rebecca Jeschke, a digital rights analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), told ABC News. "You should be able to unlock your phone. This law was meant to combat copyright infringement, not to prevent people to do what they want to do with the device they bought." Of course, the carriers prefer the new rule because it ties your phone to their network. U.S. cellular carriers sell phones at a subsidized or discounted rate with a contract. You pay the network for service on a monthly basis and they give you the phone for a cheaper price than it actually is worth. When it was legal, people may have unlocked their phone to resell it when they upgraded to a newer model or to use it with an overseas carrier and take advantage of local rates when they traveled abroad. If your phone has already been unlocked, you are grandfathered in and won't face any legal issues. But what could happen if you unlocked your phone now that it's illegal? "Violations of the DMCA [unlocking your phone] may be punished with a civil suit or, if the violation was done for commercial gain, it may be prosecuted as a criminal act," Brad Shear, a Washington, D.C.-area attorney and blogger who is an expert on social media and technology law, told ABC News. "A carrier may sue for actual damages or for statutory damages." The worst-case scenario for an individual or civil offense could be as much as a $2,500 fine. As for those planning to profit off of the act or a criminal offense -- such as a cellphone reseller -- the fine could be as high as $500,000 and include prison time. "I don't see carriers going aggressively after people, but bottom line is that I would not recommend violating this provision of the law," Shear said. Jeschke said that the EFF hasn't heard of anybody who faced legal action during an earlier period when it was illegal to unlock phones in the U.S. before a prior rule change made it legal several years ago. In 2015, there will be another rule making over the exemptions and, according to Jeschke, the question of the legality or illegality of unlocking a phone will likely be revisited. Until then, your best bet is to buy an unlocked phone.
  16. i love this comment For all of those who believe that the second amendment is unclear.... are hopeless and ill informed on the facts !!!! Pick up any writings or documents written by George Mason the author of the second amendment. "I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effective way to enslave them" - George Mason (during VA convention to ratify the Constitution, 1788)... that's pretty **** clear to me. "A militia, when properly formed, is the people themselves..." - Richard Henry Lee (May 1788). I could on and on but it's this simple. Pro Republic, pro Second Amendment, Constitution lovers are individuals that believe in "individualism". "Individualism" scars the leftist of this country because WE don't believe in the "collective", "handout" mentality. It is completely alien to people that believe in self-reliance.
  17. http://www.wcax.com/story/20637428/gun-control-bill-shot-down-in-montpelier Posted: Jan 21, 2013 5:40 AM EST Updated: Jan 23, 2013 5:00 PM EST By WCAX News MONTPELIER, Vt. - A push to ban assault weapons in Vermont has been shelved. Sen. Phil Baruth, D-Chittenden County, introduced the bill earlier this month. It would have banned assault-style weapons and capped the number of rounds in a magazine to five. Baruth says he was inspired to write the bill after the Connecticut school shootings. But now he says there is not enough support in the Statehouse or among Vermonters to pass it. Baruth sent a statement to his colleagues Sunday saying he would abandon the legislation. Monday, he refused to do an interview, but released this statement: "After much thought, I've decided to withdraw S32, a proposed ban on assault weapons. It was a difficult decision, and one I fear will disappoint those who have written expressing their support. I began thinking about the bill after the Gabby Giffords shootings in Arizona, thought more seriously about it following Aurora, and had it finally drafted in the wake of Sandy Hook. It seemed to me that with the Federal government paralyzed, it had been left to the states to address both the mental health and gun-related components of these tragedies. But it is painfully clear to me now that little support exists in the Vermont Statehouse for this sort of bill. It's equally clear that focusing the debate on the banning of a certain class of weapons may already be overshadowing measures with greater consensus, like tightening background checks, stopping the exchange of guns for drugs, and closing gun show loopholes. Finally, as incoming Majority Leader, I owe it to my caucus to remove an issue that seems increasingly likely to complicate our shared agenda this biennium. To the many responsible gun-owners with whom I've communicated over the last several weeks: I've heard you. Please hear me when I say that government is not your enemy - we are all alike threatened by the kind of violence we saw in Newtown, violence that is clearly spreading. And all of us are responsible for stopping it. It's my hope that with this ban set aside, you'll join more willingly in that effort." Saturday, gun rights activists rallied at the Vt. Statehouse in opposition to Baruth's proposal. The bill would have reinstated in Vermont a now-expired federal assault weapons ban.
  18. Years ago I got fed up with constantly changing email addresses as I moved to different providers. I finally decided to buy a domain, in this case my name, and have total control over my email. This also enabled me to have different email addresses for different purposes. Some are disposable, some are for forums and then I have the personal one. For me it was one of the best moves I made. I never have to worry about changing my email. The down side is cost about $120 per year. It was also the start of my internet presence with my first guitar website.
  19. It seems the gun industry has learned a bit from this past election. So many media sources citing Romney would beat BO. We know how that turned out. Now the gun industry is saying the media and the white house are playing the same game with gun owners. "It's an uphill battle" blah blah blah. The feeling is they want gun owners to get lazy and complacent. DONT LET UP.
  20. Do they block some email addresses? Many forums take issue with yahoo, hotmail and gmail because of spammers. There are other ways to get that done if you need to.
  21. Ill use they old ladies Oral B <lmao> Thanks guys.
  22. Cloth leaves lint, compressed air does not get the lint out. What do you all do?
  23. As i have said elsewhere some other sites were my inspiration for doing this. Meaning how not to treat people. Make no mistake AR15.com is big business and not a guy renting a server. Kudo's to whoever was behind that site.
  24. Here in CT many years ago they decided that the state run mental facilities would either be shut down or not take on new clients. As the clients died they would combine and close facilities until none are left. Because nobody can take care of these people like their own families. I remember a governor spewing that. Might even have been the governor who instituted the AWB
  25. I dont trust the ME's report at this point. I think it will be biography with creative fiction included.
