If you have an item listed for sale that hasn't already been sold, we'd like to have a picture of each item. It will hopefully keep us from having to referee fights about "what I got isn't what was described". <thumbsup>

Oh yeah, I was in a sort of ranting mood and spotted an open door... If I get too windy just kick the soapbox out from underneath me.. <thumbsup>

I tried that once... I got, "You can have a closed casket, or be cremated, which do you prefer?"... *sigh* One of these days.... <laughs>

The logic is sneak it in under the radar, whatever it takes to get the BS past the filter of the people who do not wish to see their rights diminish. In this case, it's just another government failure.

You have every right to get the service promised or your money back. Since future business is off the books with these guys, wait for a nice crowd in the store and bring in a police officer with you to get your refund. They will probably give you your refund with no questions asked, no bad attitude proffered, AND their potential customers will get a hint at what kind of service they offer.

I don't know about too hot to handle. My question regarding this kind of stuff is, how paranoid do I have to be before I'm right, and how paranoid can I be before I'm wrong? <dontknow> :cookoo:

It's a terrible tragedy all the way around. I don't think the timing is just a coincidence either... but if it is part of a conspiracy, the investigation into the incident will tell you little, if anything. Just another heyday for the anti-gun lobby and the press.

My sentiments exactly. Couldn't've said it any better...

I run mine wet all the time, but you will probably find that as you get it broke in, you will not need to run it quite as wet as you do at first. Trial and error would be the best way to find where it's comfortable. If you still have issues running it lightly oiled, add a little more and shoot to test. If you get to the point where you still have issues with a nice heavily oiled carrier group, it's time to look at other contributing factors. My personal method is to diagnose from the cheapest factors up.... Use whatever works best for you.

I think the story is just that, a story. As long as you don't run your 308 AR bone dry on your first range session, you should be fine. Oil your bolt carrier up nice and wet before you begin firing, and just shoot the crap out of it. <thumbsup>

The only truly worrisome issue you will face is the addictiveness of the 308 AR in general... <laughs> <lmao> No seriously, run before you get infected. :o :cookoo: Enjoy your stay on the forums!

I think we're back to the personal opinion square on this one. Most of your counter points involved expending more money than the original fix cost. <dontknow>

You're dead on about the mag length being a problem on the shooting bench. I guess to be fair you're dead on about the other points too, but the bench one is the primary one that applies to me. <thumbsup>

I tried the DPMS break in, as far as I'm personally concerned, it's a fraud. Find the round that it likes and stick to it like glue. Wasting barrel life on break in rounds is pretty much pointless, IMHO.

LOL @ Robocop... Welcome to the forums Makulu, enjoy your stay. 8)

Welcome to the forums Brett! Thanks again for your service. Nice gun too! <thumbsup>

Nice writeup buckhorn, welcome to the forums! Be sure to share some pictures of your Les Baer AR, as well as some target pics, that would be awesome.

Welcome to the forums! You are correct about the firing pin retainer, make sure your firing pin sits as deep as it can before you insert the retaining pin, it would suck to have your firing pin wandering around in your upper.

Yes sir, it is indeed the CAA grip, I was in fact referring to the model rather than manufacturer. If i'm not mistaken, the exact model number is UPG16, as seen here. That is also the same configuration I use, as I have pretty large hands myself. I like it even better than my Magpul MIAD grip, but to be fair there isn't really anything I dislike about the MIAD.

That's a good looking build there BayouBob, how are you liking that UPG grip? I love mine!

You sir are evil! That is one sweet looking rifle ckesek!

Glad to see another Texan here on the board! It's beginning to look like if we ever have get together function for the members, Texas will have to host. <laughs>

Is that some kind of sick joke? Of course we're interested! <laughs> Post up brother, we love our gun pics around here. ;D

Welcome to the forums, we're glad to have you! As far as I know, you're the first from SC that has joined and posted in the introductions thread. It is traditional here to post pics of the "kids" once you've described them, so we're looking forward to that too. <thumbsup>

In the context of anything besides the satisfying "clang" of a metal target, I wouldn't think you could do it very practically. JMHO though. :)
