Uh oh! Tom, change of plans buddy....

Keep your head on a swivel fellas, Larry has gone off his meds and started wandering the halls again....

Oh, and RUN IT WET, like 'Holy cow Batman, you can't be serious!' level lube on the BCG, and once you get the break-in done you won't need nearly so much.

More info on buffer tube/spring/buffer and where aquired please. Also, breaking the gun in with cheap ammo is bad juju. Think of the break-in as the first 3-5% of your barrel life, and ask yourself why it makes sense to condition your barrel to crap ammo only to switch to good ammo post break-in. Your components are well-picked and reputable, it seems incongruous to run E87 + 10% ethanol pump gas (cheap ammo) in your brand-new Dyno tuned turbocharged supercar. Run the GMM throughout the break-in, you're doing yourself a favor if you do.

Welcome to the forums @Sharpshooter, looks like you'll fit in just fine.

John Moses Browning is going to make you run laps in Lego sandals Sisco....

Hmmmmm, I'm starting to wonder if divorce is really as awful as everyone makes it sound.... Really really want an FNX...

I'll bet future shooters will be thrilled to know that they can expect law enforcement to form a defensive perimeter to keep anyone from running in and ending their killing spree, including SWAT cops.

He needs a fund I can make a donation to for his legal fees.

You can find a wet red crater where the rabbit was when you shot it....

I'll bring my iPad along and we can put that baby through it's paces.

That's the general idea I was trying to convey. I was by no means trying to make anyone wear a shoe that doesn't fit.

Not really, it has more to do with making things straightforward for the guy that comes along not knowing anything about the platform or how to turn a wrench. It's also not uncommon for folks who haven't yet fired their rifle to be attempting to solve problems that their particular rifle doesn't necessarily have. Trying to help someone diagnose their rifle is a difficult exercise when they've added every aftermarket component known to man before going to the range and trying to shoot it dry, and then try to blame the manufacturer for their malfunctions. The straightforward approach is actually the easiest. Buy the base platform, lube it up real well and shoot some high quality ammunition through it. Then begin addressing what is and is not desirable about the way the system functions, with as few component changes made at once as possible. Simplicity is golden on these platforms.

We need to make the target frames out of AR500 and the gongs out of 1/16 square tube stock....

I'm amazed at the speed with which it's possible to completely miss a 12" gong, and at the same time impact the 1.25" target frame with every single round. It's mind-boggling.

Tom and I stopped in a CVS one time to find a brush suitable for gun cleaning in a tight spot. Tom needed to do some 'personal shopping' so we agreed to meet up back at the checkout counter. It took forever to finally find the brush, so I arrived at the checkout just in time to see Tom pay for his stuff. I watched with great interest as the cashier bagged up a large bag of condoms, foam ear plugs, and a swimmer's nose clamp. As I was paying for my own purchases, I leaned in close and asked the cashier what was the deal and she told me: "There's only two things Tom can't stand, screaming and the smell of burning rubber!"

Well, I guess I'll go get some lime and a vacuum cleaner.

There's even a little damage done on the downrange end from time to time.....

LMAO

Well, get to work then, you loquacious opinionated bastard....

None of the 4 I've owned needed one to function correctly. If I wasn't running a suppressor, I still wouldn't have an AGB. As it stands, more than 3k rounds mixed suppressed and unsuppressed (without cleaning) before the first hiccup convinced me that the gas block is the least significant component to gas issues. Gas port size, recoil spring/buffer combination, and gas tube length are the primary drivers of a functional DI system, by my experience anyways.

Dammit.... *Takes SLR Sentry off MA TEN and scratches head*

Spring 'Fest is going to blow some mental circuits, all I'm sayin...

1. TP sniff test. 2. I don't understand that either. 3. Cat food and dead rats both taste like crap.
