Yes, but that's not what you said....

North Carolina is honestly one of the finest states in the US all around. It's the bastards in the Northeast/Eastern 1/3rd of the state that grab all the negative attention.

After I get back from AZ, you can buy mine. I'm going to buy replacement foam and sell it.

Interior Dimensions: 40.98" x 12.92" x 12.13" Exterior Dimensions: 44.16" x 16.09" x 14.00"

Alrighty, so I was supposed to get a Pelican 1770 but my chosen Pelican dealer (my in-laws) misordered and I got the 1740 instead. Restocking fees, shipping fees, and other BS being what it is, I elected to keep the case. It's actually pretty dang nice, it has plenty of room to accommodate the MA TEN (via the LAW Tactical Folding adapter), my Ruger SR 1911 and three mags, my 2 barbie ARs and 6 mags. I'm loving it!

Any fairly well known match ammo in 168 and 175 gr will likely perform best.

It's alright, you made the last one so you're cool. The rest of these slackers though, can expect ball busting of the 1st order.

Found a cooler crowd to burn ammo with, got it. See you in the Fall Dirkball.

Mike will probably record all our unseemly comments concerning you, and share them here.

Oh yeah!!! Talking sh!t about the knuckle heads that didn't make it out and plotting a kickass course of fire for the Fall Shoot. Talking about gear upgrades for the Fall, hearing Mike describe old flames' tits, it's gonna be epic!

Also from NC, welcome!!

It's going to be pretty tight until it gets broken in, I recommend a light coat of oil on everything in the bolt carrier group. The rifle isn't cycling at all, IE the bolt doesn't unlock and the carrier doesn't move? You may have issues with your gas system, that would explain both short stroking and failure to cycle. Check your gas block alignment with the gas port and make sure your gas tube is correct and installed correctly.

This and this.

Welcome from NC, and many thanks for your service. There aren't any stupid questions, with the exception of "Should I sell my AR?", so ask away.

Awesome to have you sir! Thank you for your service to this great country. I'm mightily pleased to have another machinist join our ranks, welcome!

.... and it works like a charm! Locks to the rear on empty with the PMAGs, just as it should. Now I have to function test live, and then add the AGB, rinse & repeat.

New buffer length, 5.200". I can't wait to get home and see if it's going to clear the bolt catch!

SLR Sentry 9 AGB and a Guntec AR-15 Armorer's wrench.

Ordered the Guntec from Optics Planet.

His buffer dimensions (for rifle length AR-10) are .012" longer than Pat's, for anyone curious.

@MikedaddyH smart-ass....

Don't let me discourage you, ask Mike whether or not I enjoy a slide-fire...

That sounds expensive....

Awesome!
