* Must... Resist.... Temptation..... *

I completely believe it brother, that is outstanding! This is a newer favorite recipe for me but I think it's going to be a favorite recipe for a mighty long time. Between the relish and the smoked paprika, it's harder to beat than a sore dick.

Guys, all this has been resolved, we're moving forward with a better idea. As you were.

Alright, with all that cleared up, let's fix Gopher's gun!

This thread is about Gopher's gun and what it will take to get it to run, not about whether or not PSA belongs in the large AR market, and not about who owns PSA large ARs with no issues. If you aren't having issues relevant to this thread, posts concerning that fact aren't relevant, and will undoubtedly be treated as such. Glad to know your rifle is running right, but this thread isn't about that.

Here is the answer to that very question; if the torque wrench is at a 90° angle to the armorer's wrench, there is no effect, you'll get the torque that you set the wrench to get. If you use the torque wrench in line with the armorer's wrench, you'll get 1.75 times your torque wrench setting.

Lothar Walther barrel, that's the problem...

Well, this just became relevant...

Good luck with that, he has to rent a time machine to get that old dinosaur to take a battery charge.

Tensioning works correctly... More than 90° cant either direction and holds tension throughout...

Thanks Doc, when the going gets tough, the tough switch to Cheerwine. After painting..... Pre-final mockup...

Indeed, more than 90° of it! Milling the radius the old-fashioned way... Before sanding... After sanding & before bead blasting... After bead blasting & before painting...

A quick mock up...

So, with another PRS match coming up at the end of next week, I decided to finish bipodification revision 1 this weekend. I decided on new dimensions and materials for revision one, 1018 cold-rolled being plentifully available and easy to machine. Semi-Final dimensions are 7/8" tall, 1" long, and 0.600" thick per segment. I also upgraded the pivot shoulder bolt from 1/4" to 5/16". A shot of the countersunk socket head cap screws.... And finally, a view of the segments attached to their respective bipod components.... Everything fits pretty well so far, I'm going to take a hard look at how much length and height I can reduce without a compromise of strength. All that's left beside that is to put the radii on the segments, bead blasted it, and paint it flat black.

That's when you know the sickness is terminal, when you can no longer remember what all is headed your way.

In the machining business we have a term for the kind of product that Anderson's large ARs typify; "scrap"! My only use for it is to recycle it and make something useful out of the recycled metal. My beef with this sub-par crap being sold is that some poor tool somewhere will stake his life on the one POS he could find that fit his budget, and it will fail him in his time of need. Don't sell junk that doesn't work, doesn't get any more simple than that.

I can't. Everything I build runs like a champ, except for that one lockback issue with the oversized buffer on the MA TEN of course.... and I did fix it but it was too easy. I guess I need to get myself a PSA PA-10 and document the turd polishing process.

Save yourself some money, know your limitations! Pay no attention to that guy over on your other shoulder...

Brass wouldn't be good for that application, because it's very malleable and that's going to cause problems.

Good point, and along with single shot functionality, you won't need that heavy loaded magazine either. Further weight savings, yay!!!!

Early Christmas?

Go shoot that sucker! (Put it back together first...)

You are fully entitled to retain both your testicles and your man card. I'll beat the living crap out of anyone who makes claims to the contrary.
