First, welcome to the forum! I run a Magpul PRS on my big 24" DPMS, and I'm putting a Magpul ACS on my carbine POF. The VLTOR IMod clubfoot is a very nice stock as well. Now, I hate to ask, but are you truly Marine or ex-Marine? I can't imagine a Marine mis-spelling Semper Fi, or putting it together like that either, maybe just a typo? Or I'm not edumicated on something...?? Anyway, again, welcome to the forum!

Dude, Otter Box are like the best cases available for phones... http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-fascinate-cases/samsung-fascinate-cases,default,sc.html

Come on 2012!!!

I know the package says it, but is the buffer supposed to be so small? Wow, it's tiny!

Man, I damn near got stuck in MO.

Nice setup JD!

Welcome! Read, learn, ask, enjoy!

Welcome aboard!!

I'm in Kearney, MO -- been blowing snow all day, right now it's about 7 degrees. :o

Welcome aboard!! <thumbsup>

Welcome! Nice work! <thumbsup>

As soon as the VLTOR arrives I will give you this data. <thumbsup>

Can't watch the hulu link without an account. I'll look it up on IMDB. Sounds like it's up my alley. <thumbsup>

Yup, all looked good, thanks brother! Man, that 308 buffer is tiny! I can wait, thanks for the offer though. If I get the itch too bad I'll yank a stock off one of my ARs. <thumbsup>

One step closer, got my .308 buffer and buffer spring. All I'm missing now id the VLTOR stock kit. <thumbsup>

Interesting reads. I've recently been at opposite ends of this topic with my chief instructor since I told him about my new 16.5" .308 AR. He had a blanket claim originally that a carbine-length .308 was too short, but was surprised by the claimed velocities. Thanks for the links guys!

PS - feel free to jump in the tactics and training forum, I imagine you could have some input there.

Welcome aboard!! Now that sounds like a fun job!! <thumbsup>

Set your VCR, DVR, whatever -- this looks to be a cool show!!! http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/sons-of-guns/ Premieres tonight, 8pm CDST.

Isn't the heavier bullet recommended for high twist rate, carbine-length barrels?

So, this was interesting. After I assembled the parts on my POF lower last night, I was mating it to the POF upper. I put the lower in place and the pivot pin would not enter the lug on the upper. It was aligned just right, it just wouldn't go in. So I spun the lower around and pushed the pivot pin in from the reverse side, and it went in, but stopped just shy of exiting the right side. I started thinking there was a burr or something, but couldn't find anything, and the calipers showed the right size. Since I'm in the pipeline industry and we live by the code "Hammer to fit and paint to match!", I put some CLP on the pivot pin and in the lug hole, pushed the pin in reversed again, and tapped it through with a small rubber hammer. It went, reluctantly, so I tapped it back out, then repeated the process and it got progressively easier, until I was able to do it by hand. I put the lower on properly and am able to push the pivot pin in and out with a fingertip now. It took a little finish off the pivot pin, I guess the hole was just a FRCH too tight..?? <dontknow>

FYI, for potential buyers, I recently purchased something from JGun and it was completely as he had said it was, and the transaction was very good. This is a seller you can trust! <thumbsup>

Just missing the stock kit now. :banana:

Got it. I'm an idiot. <thumbsup>
