LMAO.... Pay our dear friend little AdamO no attention, he's a bit of an alarmist. I'm sure you'll receive no less than unanimous agreement from the senior members here that we can be trusted in the utmost with respect to your personal finances. Relax and make yourself at home here, we're glad to have fresh meat... errrr, uh, a new member here. Welcome!

LOL...

You must've disagreed with Peggy Sue... If you are on his side you can be an expert.

I'm getting a little lax, blame it on old age... :D

I agree on going with Armalite's service department for parts and advice. Welcome to the forums!

This thread is destined to be locked, nice it up or play elsewhere. This is my only warning. Play nice!

Might be a tight chamber, I'd try a couple brands of premium match ammo through it to see if those cases give you the same issues.

I know exactly what you mean, unfortunately you will have to fulfill your daily drama requirements with locally broadcasted soap operas. I do apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused..... >:D :banana:

Turns out you knew something Peggy Sue didn't, and now he's banned. Oh dear! :stfu2: :banned: :gtfo2:

We're all about to find out, everybody say bye-bye to Peggy Sue!

most of the better drama has to be cleaned up....

Welcome to the 3rd circle of hell, nice to have ya with us..... LOL

Welcome!

My point wasn't to question your knowledge or credibility Pegasus, but by your own admission your data is based on a platform vastly dissimilar to the one this community bases it's experience on... Are there common elements? Absolutely, no question about that, but by and large it's apples and oranges. I'm sure your opinion is dead on in terms of the platform that informs it, but data speaks louder than opinions. Show me your proof in the AR platform, and watch me eat crow. Otherwise, I'll take your opinion to be what all opinions are, some hot air packaged with noise. As for the 32" AR, I'd vastly prefer to build two 16"-ers instead ;) I hope my facetious rhetoric didn't catch you off guard. Sorry bout that if it did. Finally, welcome to the forums here. Glad to have the insights of another long range competitor here! P.S. Check out this short barreled 1k shot.... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ3XwizTqDw

:D I 'stand' corrected... :P

I don't understand why this comparison is always drawn up by F-class shooters and the like, it's apples and oranges to the AR platform. The whole point(in the AR's case) is to be the best combination of reliable, portable, and accurate as can be achieved in a balanced manner. To that end, with regard to the platform this forum centers around, a shorter thicker barrel lends itself better to accurate shooting. If you care to offer contrary data, by all means share your results. An opinion based on F-class experience doesn't mean a whole lot to me in terms of an entirely different animal.

I knew it! I'm building a 32" heavy-profile barrel AR-10, and when you chumps want to compare 1000 yd results, im gonna pull that bad boy off the flatbed trailer I had to bring it on and when two of you have helped me set it on the bipod, I'll outshoot everyone. That will settle the whole question.....

There are a whole lot of possibilities here, I'd try to locate another upper and check it too. If it also has a large gap, the dimensions on your lower could be wrong, possibly something as simple as a mislocated forward retaining pin hole. If no gap with a different DPMS type upper, most likely the upper is out of spec.

Forget the delete button, where's the dynamite?

Never have been able to get soft points to feed, in ANY large AR... I'm convinced they are designed around feeding FMJ and OTM type bullets, and anything else they'll feed is icing on the cake......

Randomness such as you describe, suggests a loose or non-spec barrel nut torque, IMHO. That may also not be the case, but it's a decent starting point.

This you Gibbs or did somebody try pranking from your account?

Tom looks a little worried at the prospect of spilling his drink, Rob is clearly preparing to get airborne over the speed bump...

Thanks for setting that straight.

I'd find a way to approach her from the front first....
