Shoot me a PM, I'll see what I can do.

Truth. <thumbsup>

I see now how you got the title "Riddle Master".... <laughs>

I agree on this one. It's all in good fun, but shouldn't become a topic taken lightly.

There are a lot of variables that could be behind this. Your receiver face or barrel shoulder or possibly both may not be square and flush to one another, or your barrel nut may have been incorrectly installed. Robocop's suggestions are good ones and I would exhaust the least expensive fix options first. Have you spoken to the people you purchased it from yet?

Thanks for posting this Drew, I knew I wasn't loosing my mind! This brain is like a steel trap, rusty and likely to cause you bodily injury.

It looks good! Maybe I'll try it out when ammo buying time rolls back around.

These beasts are becoming famous for needing to run wet. I don't think your problem is truly that much of a problem, nor is it uncommon. It should become less and less necessary as your rifle begins to wear in.

Nice, I like the tanto blade parked next to the fork, it's extra eye candy.

I don't have a link, what I have is a couple of sheets that mailed with my original trigger from PACT. The trigger I bought from Brownells is identical but didn't come with the sheet and illustration. I'll look around and see if I can find it, if not I'll call PACT.

The ATC manual says a little material can be removed from the rear of the trigger tang to restore the function of the safety. I would try to sand or lightly file it just until the safety will operate under finger pressure.

This needs to be it's own live art gallery, with each one captioned "So, you thought it couldn't get any uglier huh?".... <lmao>1 J/K I reiterate that I think this is a fantastic cause, and I'm behind it 100%.

Given Mr. Springfield's reputation, it's not something I would personally worry about a whole lot. On the other hand, he's a human and as such, subject to the occasional error. It's not an illegitimate point, but it's not an overly worrisome point for me either. If you can afford the Geiselle as the alternative to a trigger job, by all means buy the Geiselle. If not, get an affordable trigger job from a very reputable smith. Based on the trigger work I've seen, there is very little geometry change in the parts themselves, mostly burrs are removed and critical surfaces stoned square & flat.

When your pecker is on fire, nothing relieves like the nice cold door on an ice machine huh drew? <laughs> <lmao> ;D

I don't do it either. Ever hear the phrase, "Much ado about nothing"? Facebook is exactly that.

Heaven help us. <munch>

Actually there's pretty good reason in it. Here's the short version (and I do mean short, the technical description would take days): Barrels are made of hard stuff (like steel), and bullets are made of not so hard stuff (like copper). Barrel steel is porous, and copper usually fills the pores and gives the surface of the bore more uniformity across it's contact surface. When you remove the copper from those pores, you lose that uniformity until you have fired enough shots to refill the pores. The essence is that copper is minutely doing you a favor, the carbon is not.

It's the Police Training Range. Great place to shoot, you just can't be stupid with the Range Officers. They're nice guys but they tolerate zero crap.

I currently shoot at Rankin Lake when my weekends are free. It's only 100 yards but it's enough to develop good practices.

I shoot mostly in Gastonia. However, I am currently working on a private range for future use.

Hornady does indeed make steel cased ammo, but it's for competition shooters (like 3 gun) and shooters who cannot police their brass for reloads. The coating on that ammunition is only on the case, not the entire shell, and the bullet itself is an SMK, not a jacketed bullet like most Mil-Surp.

I'm in Maiden and come through Denver often. Welcome to the forums, we'll have to go shoot sometime.
