Don't sweat it, you've done your research and that's more than most.

You know he did...

I get it brother, you stated the devil's advocate bit and all, I know you weren't trying to justify their misbehaviour. I'm just pointing out that if preventing panic buying/hoarding/etc is your actual goal, there's ways to do that without altering the price of the product. It's still available to anyone who needs it at the same price, but in a limited amount.

Limit purchases to no more than X amount per person until the crisis is over.

Those hard drives could use a bit of defragmenting it appears..... Anybody got a good disk recovery program?

That's a great looking build! Post up some targets for cryin' out loud!

I'm perfectly OK with what he thinks, and OK with him being wrong too, but anyone stumbling across this thread while trying to get their build working should understand the fallacies.

Not what I said or implied, but a strawman is nothing new to me. The kind where most of the operation of the rifle becomes quite smooth by feel. That's not always the same number of rounds, it depends on the individual rifle. Like an engine for instance? Or maybe machine tools are a better example? That's not my logic at all, and I'll offer you $1000 cash to show me where I've ever said such. No. It would make sense that unlubricated metal-to-metal contact between metals of varying materials, strength, hardness, and surface finish would only be an invitation to the overall deterioration and inefficiency of contact surfaces, or galling. Lubrication serves to minimize the number of inefficient contact surfaces until interference surfaces wear into a state of even lubrication and surface contact. No. See above. That's terrific. It's also a sample size of one that's specific to your experience, so making generalizations about the platform in general on that basis seems ill-advised.

Was the weapon you were carrying in the military a variant of the large AR platform, or the small AR platform? If you're basing your logic off the small AR platform, the large AR isn't the same animal. It's been well born out for most of the life of this forum that heavy lubrication is a key to getting this platform to run well initially. After the rifle has been broken in and the moving parts play more nicely, it's not quite as critical, but it's still important.

I'm pumped about it brother, I haven't forgotten what you showed me. Good times bro!

It was actually the Fall Shoot before last, and the gravity issue wasn't the prevailing problem, but rather how to explain to a slightly tipsy Tom-ass that 3am might not be the ideal time of night to teach the east coast redneck how to shoot like John Wick.

Glad this panned out, but it's getting too chatty for the sale section. Holler if this needs re-opened.

😂

Do bears crap in the woods?

I got to check a set of Vortex binoculars out at a gun show recently, they were really nice. That's a great piece of gear you got there brother!

Wandered right into a very large nest of enablers, never had a chance.....

No. Don't do it, save yourself the hassle of learning the hard way, don't do it. Buy or build off of a compatible Aero upper, and thank me later. PSA's own website points out that their PA-10 platform is proprietary and not intended to be compatible with any others.

Yes sir, indeed!

No problem, the rule of thumb is 3 wraps for every 1" in diameter of the tree in question.

It was quite an improvement!
