^^^ He's in - right there it is MIke. You need to plan to shoot with me and Ron on Sunday. Shibi, you're not off the hook either...

You will if you have the sack to show up for the Halloween sand trip - I'll make you sweat, even in your new "svelte" form... <lmao> You better hang onto BOTH those lungs, and I can damn sure tell ya right now you're gonna need BOTH those kidneys for that trip... <laughs> :ecs:

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! As you were typing that, I was putting lead on steel. I'll be back out there Sunday morning, brother - come on down. I'll give you a shout about it.

^^^ HELL YEAH!... Sad thing is, I know we can do that, too. Pod filters, $hitcan the airbox, play with the injectors - and everything else that's already been done. Some people are gonna $hit some britches... <lmao>

I like this guy already. Not only is he an Arizonan,... He's gonna fit in.

AR15 charging handle is too short. Must use one for the .308 AR.

YEP!!! <lmao> Sooner or later, they get to come in... <laughs>

^^^ They didn't have to do much work - ACUs didn't work worth a damn in Afghanistan, and Crye Precision developed the multicam for them, and put it on people. Basically, they had someone move the colors around a little, or make subtle changes to Crye Multicam, and called it their own - without a doubt to avoid paying CP for the design. Same exact $hit they did with their "new, improved" mag followers. Make a change, call it your own, and don't pay MagPul for the design. They probably STILL paid too much.

Picking up the paint gun today - might even strip everything down and just get to the paint!

^^^ Ah, yes, good old Dave Branson. OP, you can't go wrong with him. <thumbsup>

Looks like we need to setup another Marana shoot. <thumbsup>

Drive out to ADCO and let Steve look at your rifle. There isn't anyone better qualified to diagnose your issue, in person, than him. You're lucky you live that close - he's one of the best AR Armorers in the entire country. He's in Sylvania. EDIT - Call first, and set it up. Don't just drive out there...

LaRue RISR on a MagPul MOE stock, just to try it out. That's an option. Better option than what you're considering, IMHO.

I'll be out there tomorrow, brother, testing mods to my BLK. Come on down. <thumbsup>

Sierra Vista, or close - lived there for many years. Send me a PM, man. <thumbsup>

That is one FAST SIDE-BY-SIDE!!! <laughs> <lmao>

Yeah, man - let's go! Nice and peaceful where I set up to shoot. Very nice and peaceful. Nobody bothering you.

Doesn't mean anything. Hell, we've got people asking for target dope for 50s in the "Accurizing the 308AR" section. <dontknow> Let's get it - I'll be back out there Thursday morning. <thumbsup>

Contact Aero Precision, if the issue is machining - they will make that right, for sure.

Shib, take a $hit in the fresh air intake vents of his car. Pack it in there good. Cat$hit works amazingly well for these things. <thumbsup>

I don't mind a bit - I expect it to make phone calls, and send text messages once in awhile. It does that, and gets coverage when I'm at the dunes. I don't need it to do anything else... :banana:

But, Mega only makes a .308 Win barrel. They don't make any other barrels at this time...

Second look at the carrier - that's not a 5.56 carrier... Very concerning... But not a 5.56 BCG... M4-looking feedramps don't look right - in a 308. Something not right going on. Upper ramps are one angle, barrel ramps are another... Lots going on here, but WTF is going on here... <dontknow> EDIT - just re-read all the initial stuff - chambers by hand. Bolt locks into place, all the way forward? Fully seated bolt? Out of ideas at this point...

I was also wondering this - from the marks on the brass, and only SO far on the brass, it looks like a 308 Win bullet was jammed about as far in as it can possibly go... into a 300BLK barrel. Cartridge base won't even seat into the bolt face - looks like trying to jam a 308 Win cartridge into a 5.56 bolt...

Buying the complete rifle up front wouldn't be a bad thing, either. Shoot right away, on a factory platform that WILL work, and change what you want as you go along (and determine what you want different). Get the Armalite, buy a bunch of Pmags, and have fun. <thumbsup>
