Sounds very interesting! I'm curious to know if it's button-rifled or point-cut and who made the blank.

You've got it all wrong. There's no way this A3 upper is going to be replicated as a Mk12 Mod 0 upper, it just isn't going to happen. Not as far as the wife is concerned anyways. <laughs> <lmao> <dontknow> <munch>

Here a while back, an upstanding member of our board here sold me a Troy MRF 13.8" rail at a terrific price. When I received the rail, it was brand new, still in the Troy box. I was enthralled, until I put it on that is. The receiver height didn't match up. This isn't an unfamiliar problem in the .308 AR world though, so I figured I'd have it cured in no time by simply ordering the correct height receiver. I put in a call to DPMS, who told me that the difference between their old receiver and the new is that the new one is higher. WRONG! So I ordered a new A3 upper based on what they told me. When I get it, the receiver heights are the same. I had a newer style receiver to begin with. So I place a call to Troy and explain that I have two new uppers of the wrong height and they quickly explained that if I had an older DPMS A3 receiver, the heights (between the rail and my upper) would've matched. They told me to send my upper back to DPMS for a refund. Then he told me to send him back my Troy rail, and he'd replace it with the correct height rail, don't worry about not having a receipt or anything they'll replace it. That's customer service! I may hang on to my new stripped upper though, you can never tell when it will be useful to have a spare upper!

It's all good. Dave's free time has to be getting scarce these days, he's probably going to have to purchase a warehouse here soon.... <dontknow>

The only other rules we play by are the Russian ones, so the alternative was the firing squad. I think we picked nicely.... <dontknow> ;)

It's like the difference between a manual and automatic transmission. Both are transmissions, but the methods they function on are very different. One is also a bit more 'user-intensive' than the other.

Honestly, hanging out here is probably his best chance.... <laughs> <munch> <munch>

Hey hey, easy there big fella! Some of us here are into chicks! <laughs> <lmao>

PARTY FOUL! j/k <laughs> <lmao>

I'm glad to hear it, and I wish him well. One of my biggest regrets in hindsight is not serving in the military. I certainly respect and appreciate those who choose or have chosen to serve.

Get 'em while they are hot gents, they're worth their weight in gold!

My oldest is nearly 4 and he will begin learning gun saftey at that age. They will still be inaccessible to him, but he will know exactly what to do should he come across one.

I'd forgotten about his proximity to the danger area. I hope all is well!

Right on skeeter! <munch>

LOL, "You're welcome" doesn't translate directly, so I responded with "I am happy to assist you." Trust me, you can speak a whole lot more foreign languages than I can.... ;)

Watashi wa anata o tasukeru koto o ureshiku omoimasu. <thumbsup>

Fixed. 8)

LOL, thanks, this could get interesting... If he doesn't notice, I'm going to see how often I can change it without him noticing....

Just be on the lookout for a somewhat philosophical tag line under someone's avatar... <munch>

I just want to notify the public at large that someone's personal text has changed, so be on the lookout! ;D <laughs> <lmao> <munch>

Well, the hottie got sent home.... :( She drives my wife crazy, LOL, my wife was constantly saying "DO YOU REALIZE HOW BIG YOU GRIN EVERY TIME THEY CUT TO HER?"... I can't help it, she was sooo cute! Guess now we get to see the war of the chumps.... <munch>

Payment for the suppressor went through on the 21st, tax stamp check has not posted yet.

Hope it goes well for you! I haven't heard anything else on mine so far....

Waiting on the new height DPMS LR308 A3 upper reciever...
