Damn Skippy. This ain't your mother's knitting circle you bunch of inbred window lickers, so pony up a set of man testicles and let me or Tom know your free time availability for March, April, and May right here in this thread. GO GO GO, MOOOOVE IT!

That Snap-On Torque Driver is sweeeet!!!

I don't know who you are and what you've done with Tom, but if you don't release him unharmed, we're going to vaporize your Democrat ass.

^^^ This.

Your guess is as good as mine...

Don't get into a gun fight in Cali. The criminal is hopelessly better armed than the legally armed person. As for the ownership of Cross Armory, I have no clue. My company is going to be called "MC Squared", shorthand for Matt Cross Machining Company.

She could eat corn off the cob through a chainlink fence....

I remember when I only had 3 kids....

I'm actually curious to see how this one resolves..... Popcorn anybody?

I hope your friendship survives.... Nah, just kidding. We'll be your new friends instead, you can learn to live on soda crackers and creek water with all the rest of us. It'll be great!!

More like a down payment when you consider the sheer volume of Mike's content....

Mmmmm. That second gal... Words fail me.

Welcome to the forum! You got a nickname, MATT???

Refurbished isn't equivalent to "once broken", often picky people return perfectly functional new optics for cosmetic blemishes.

Got any pics of the flash hider?

The 168gr FGMM has been 19.99 a box for a couple weeks. Right now the 19.99 per box (for 175gr) is for any quantity if I'm not mistaken.

That's 'cause they wanted to be the round that obseleted the .308 and now there's an even better performing round than their pet. Sucks to be them, but at least .308 keeps getting cheaper to shoot.

Haven't run a JP gas block yet, but they generally enjoy a good product reputation. I'd buy one.

The whole gun is moving quite a lot,not just the barrel. It won't be an issue.

Voted.

There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary math, and those who don't.

The idea has actually been discussed here before. Whether or not it has merit depends on what you are out to accomplish. If it's working for you and improves your accuracy, there's nothing to argue against you doing so. However, broadly generalizing that doing so will make everyone more accurate just isn't the case. Nobody is trying to discourage you from experimenting, but having every Joe Shadetree try to weld up his bolt and dremel it back down would have dire consequences, not to mention the potential liability. Folks here are trying to give you food for thought, or a balanced perspective on something we've discussed before. Lastly, we really are some abrasive sonsabitches sometimes, it's 'cause we're far too accustomed to one another to be bothered by it. Hang around and you'll see for yourself.

Alright, since the buffer project is going to have to wait for free time to become available, it's time for a "Barbie" teaser. There you have it, a very sensible straightforward lower, ready to be transformed into a magical rifle that propels fairy poop by lighting a unicorn fart. I can't wait!

I missed the part where anyone besides you expressed it in those terms. Furthermore, @survivalshop is right on the money as usual. While you may well have 0.001" dimensional clearance to the bolt carrier bore, you aren't guaranteed the alignment for clearance, whereas with gas rings that factor is irrelevant.

I ran into the exact same thing with the same ammo some years back.... It was really ugly.
