thanks for those 2. i bookmarked them

I ordered an rcbs charge master supreme and a frankford arsenal bundle for cleaning and drying brass. so far

I like to think of myself as someone who can spot a scam and cant be so easily duped. Especially in my line of work. The problem was simply that I didnt pay attention to my spidy senses on this when they wanted me to send them the money through paypal friends and family. I have never used paypal that way so I didnt see it coming. Now I know I can hear some chuckles right now and I have to admit looking back on it I cant help but call myself a dumb ass for ignoring the obvious and laugh at myself a bit. I will try again to buy the varget gunpowder and large primers someplace else...lolol. Aint gonna tell the wife. I dont have a death wish. I get a lot by her I mean hell she thinks that rifle I just built only cost me a few hundred....but this would go over like a fart in church. A loud and stinky one...lol

Dont know where this should go so apologies if its in the wrong spot. In any case, I found this site to buy some varget and some primers. They never sent me my order and refused to refund my money. $150 worth. I made the mistake of using their preferred method which was paypal and to use friends and family section to send the money. I didnt trust my instinct on this and sent it. After about a week of nothing I contacted them on their chat section and they came up with some excuse of me needing to buy some sort of hazmat insurance in order to get it and I had to pay that too for the order to be delivered. Then it would be magically refunded. They quit talking to me on the chat so I know I am out but wanted to let everyone know. Maybe someone here has used them? https://primoreloading.com/

Thanks all .... got to give some credit to some of the members here. Read a lot of threads and got some good ideas. The funny part of this is that with all the buying of parts etc I plum forgot to get a cleaning rod and a bore brush set for it...lol... darn. gotta buy something else...

sorry that whole thing went sideways... lol

finally got it finished. zero in at 1oo yards. about 1/2 moa or so.

Well its basically done. changed the bolt catch and the safety selector so when he gets that done I will go pick it up and Ill post a pic or 2. I love it myself. I will say its a heavy sucker...lol Now once thats done im gonna build my next one myself. it will be an AR15 set up the same way..

Ill get more clarification on it when i go pick it up.

the man knows his stuff. I trust him completely ... now he may have dumbed it down for me but still. I will put his skills up against anyone on this form or any other. I trust this man with my life so I can trust him with my guns. As to why I am not doing it. Its simple. 2 reasons. 1 I dont have any tools for such a thing and 2 since I have no tools I have never done it before. That said I plan on buying the tools and building my next one myself.

When I took my box of goodies to him to build i decided to weigh it first in the box for some reason. 24lbs I think it was. Its funny cause that was the first thing he asked me when I dropped it off. weird ... In any case i discovered that I missed buying one part. Of all things it was a mag release. So I bought a troy industries ambi release. Tool steel. I thought perfect. I swear when I bought it, it said it was for ar15 and ar10. In any case.... its not...lol... SSSOOOOOOOO I had to order another one because it was too short. Got that in and gave it to him so it should be ready anytime. Im kinda hoping its done this weekend but we'll see. Im not in a hurry although Im anxious to get it back and post a pic. But Im not gonna bug him to much about it since he's doing it for the price of some homemade cookies.....

I am planning on building my first AR over the winter probably. Right now a friend of mine, who is an armorer, has built an AR15 carbine for me and almost done withe an AR10 in 308 for me. But why should he have all the fun. Im trying to understand all the little details about doing this but it brought a thought to mind. Say I decide to build and AR. So when I am buying all the parts for it how am I going to know what will give the right head space? I mean I get what it means but why would some parts work and others wont? Further what is typically the root cause of headspace being to far off?

disregard the clothes basket..lol

I got the case in today. Pelican 1750... Damn nice case. Heavy as hell. Very solid. My armorer friend has all the parts now and is going to put it together. Thanks to every one who had suggestions on this. It helped a lot and I learned a lot more. I will post a pic of it once its done.

I got with the guy who is putting my rifle together and he is aware of that issue or possible issue and said he will make sure all is well. But thank you for pointing that out to me.
