What keeps us separate from the other forums is the etiquette we require here. Everyone in the forum must abide by these rules and yes, I spoke with Blue. It's not so much the swear, as it was the way it was used. We try to keep a brotherly atmosphere, and swears will happen.
What isn't tolerated is the public bickering or attacking another member. All is well that ends well, so this is now over, and we are good. Let arfcom and the other guys fight. I like to have beer with my guys.
It says you can use it with a 5.56 rifle to allow for extra clearance. To get your .308 at to function properly, you will not be able to use 5.56 parts. The buffer size is different, as well as spring coils and tension. They do share the tube.
Will, you have been sent a warning regarding your behavior on this thread. It came with a note, this will not be tolerated here. Ever. If this continues, your membership will be terminated. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Not real sure why you won't try the electric muffs? They amplify ambient noise and only reduce when the shot goes off, then immediately amplify until then next noise.
Nothing is going to quiet the .308. Nothing short of a suppressor and subsonic rounds, which has already been mentioned.
Watched it, laughing so hard, wife wanted to know what's so funny. Next thing we're both cracking up, on the floor. Then she asks, who was that girl, and upon hearing the answer, she nearly died of shock!
Disclosure: my wife is an attorney for the court system out here working for the Superior court judges.
She said that if any of the op's statements had truth to them, it's an automatic defense to libel, defamation, and slander. He'll be ok, minus lawyer fees and time in court.
This should put that company out of business IMHO
Please don't bend your gas tube, that will only give you problems in the future. I too am not quite sure if that's what you really mean. If you mean the lugs of the bolt going into battery (the barrel extension), then yes, like Survivalshop said, there should be some tension and resistance.
