You can rest assured that you will not be disappointed, good choice.

Welcome to the boards! Enjoy your stay!

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay!

Welcome! Enjoy your stay and keep us posted!

Welcome!! Enjoy your stay. Beware of harmless-looking folk with notably thin wallets, they may infect you.

I have talked to their shop in person, from what I gather everything (castings aside) is done in-house, apparently the trigger assembly is a Gieselle, and they expected to have BCG's for matched barrel/bolt sets available to be sold as parts by June or July. I'm thinking of buying a barrel/bolt/BCG set this summer when they become available. It was hinted at that their specs for BCGs and barrels were not proprietary, which lead me to believe that LBC barrel/bolt sets are based of the common DPMS design. Please remember that this info is based off my conversation with the shop back at the beginning of the year, some info may not be accurate, design specs could have changed in the interim, etc etc, remember that YMMV. If in doubt, feel free to call them up, they're very friendly folk and will be happy to answer your questions.

PRI Also now has the same forend & monolithic rail combo for AR10 & LR308 ARs now... Thinking of finally building that Mk12 Mod0 mockup in .308 now...

Rifle-length / Full length. Mid-Length and Carbine are not in production yet....

Not complete yet, but when it is I will have many more & better pictures... This is one SWEET receiver set....

Good info guys, once I get my custom build completed, reloading will take center stage.

You need to consider that carefully one more time, you are right in that heat will cause expansion, but it will go in the direction of least resistance, ie into the bore which is the free area, making the hole itself SHRINK. Freezing both parts causes both to shrink, which causes the bore to GROW (ie more free area, larger bore) while the pin still shrinks. Is it making sense now?

Yep, I didn't think of the freezing but that should work perfectly, it would also be my first choice because it doesn't involve any metal removal.

I would try stoning a slight taper onto the ends of the pins, if they will start try to gently tap them through. If that fails, try a second set of trigger pins. I would try the drilling dead last. I'm not sure if you're concerned that the drill is undersized, but I can assure you it's going to leave you with a larger bore than .152". If you do drill, it'd be wise to use a low speed and cutting oil to try to keep the bit as cool as possible.

Yes it is. I got pulled over one night after work, and neither of the two LEOs present knew how to unload & make safe my 1911. That was a major wake up call about the assumptions I'd made about LEO firearm knowledge.

Congratulations! Sounds like a really fun day at the range. :) <thumbsup>

That's alright, good advice TAKEN is money SAVED, I'll take advice in lieu of a loan. <thumbsup>

Silly goose, you could never treat him as good as that woman. Why would she ever divorce him? Happy April Fools!!! <laughs> <lmao> <thumbsup>

Go already, sheesh.... <laughs> Enjoy your vacation! <thumbsup>

I've had one on order for some time now, can't wait to get it!

This sounds like a good question for 98Z5V, he's an EXPERT on gas block roll pins, and he would be the first to warn you that loose gas block pins can grow a whole rifle like a dead tree grows mushrooms... SO BE CAREFUL!

I do like the way rail covers make for a nice forearm... That's a big plus for rails.

I have seen left and right rails carrying flashlights and laser designators, but I don't see any use for the laser designator in the civilian arena to be honest.... The top and bottom rails are a little more immediately obvious though.

Welcome to the fray! Please find the nearest helpless person and proceed to infect them <laughs> <lmao> Hope you enjoy yourself here!

I don't have field data, but I do know that when you have a barrel ported, the bore needs to be relieved from just behind the ports to the end of the bore to keep the bullet from being destabilized by the intersection of the ports & the bore. With a threaded muzzle device, most are already relieved. My .02 on the topic, <thumbsup> <dontknow>

Glad to know it, I need to order a couple.
