Old work quads... not kidding... <thumbsup>

The Isle of Man race is for Bad Motherfuckers. You need to BE one just to think about entering that race. "His balls are so big he has to carry them in a wheelbarrow" kind of badassery. :eek: :hail:

Joint hanging from his lips... "...I never inhaled..." Dawn Marie caught that one... <lmao>

Welcome, Homie! Where in Southern OH? Originally from Zanesville, left in '86, and haven't lived there since...

Another welcome from AZ, man. Steele67, where in Southern OH are you, brother? I'm originally from Zanesville. Left there in '86 and haven't lived in OH since...

Chicken... Once you get up to about 45 different firearms, you kinda slow down. ...and buy nicer things like expensive glass, and Elite Iron bipods... <lmao>

Check these out - very nice. I'll be waiting for the sets for the XD pistol. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/01/23/new-gun-gadget-promises-faster-clearer-shot/?intcmp=features Also, I think it's cool that you're seeing things from SHOT covered on Fox News.

...and if it DID remove from the neck or throat, is was necessary.

The NiB stuff will darken over time, and with use.

Make that $hit, brother. I'm looking for projo's right now. Load 'em up and go! Here's the shots, for the first 20rds. Indoor range that allows rifle caliber up to 300 Win Mag. Hadn't seen a place that would let rifle cal indoors around here, but the other guys found it. It's only 25 yards, but it was just to get the scope close for me, and see how it cycles. I must say, I'm happy. <thumbsup>

Rem Premier Match 125gr OTM.

Shot it today - only 20 rounds. Zero'd that Leupold pretty easy, gave the last 8 rounds to friends. This thing is a HOOT to shoot! I didn't know how well it would do with rifle buffer parts in it. I shot 3 round mags, at a time. The first two mags didn't lock back on the last round, and I was thinking "rifle buffer parts are a mistake on this gun." 3rd mag locked back, 4th mag locked back. The other two guys shot 4rd mags each, and they locked back. Just had to seal that gasblock up. <thumbsup>

Socket isn't gonna work - it's going to have a barrel running through the middle of it... Crow's foot. Or, crank the thing on there with a giant crescent wrench, and not worry about torque. The range is 30~80lb/ft.

Call Red-X Arms and ask them who makes their barrels. That'll be the fastest, most accurate answer you'll get. <thumbsup>

Go through PP. Best route to take. If the guy was still talking, I'd give him a chance. Since he clammed up, file a PP dispute on his arse.

What is this stuff, blowing in the wind?

In his suit jacket pocket...

Eff that thing - I'll take a Mk19, though. <thumbsup>

Ronald McDonald shooting at something!

Yep, this Sunday at the Casa Grande range. The 26th. Thank ya, brother. Can't wait to pick up the full top rail and rear site, and finally call it done. I bought the damn barrel (and started all this) in October 2012. Longest build I've ever done.

I just hope he's not as Badge-Heavy as that dude in Sacramento... <dontknow>

I'm looking into stroking a Magnum engine. I've got a 318, and can stroke that out to a 390. If I grab a 360, it'll stroke to a 408. Either way, I'll pick up a boneyard engine and start the work there. Completely rebuild it, take my time, and then just straight swap it into the truck in a day or two. That'll be the more efficient way. I'm leaning more towards grabbing the boneyard 360 Magnum, and going the 408 stroker route - more options for keeping the compression lower in a 408, versus the 390, and this is going into the truck that does the towing. I'd like to be able to run cheap 86-octane Mexican piss-gas in it, if I have to. Not too many lower-compression options with that 390 combo.

The Machinist's Rule, right there. Fast, Cheap, High Quality. 1. If you want it Fast, and you want it Cheap, it won't be High Quality. 2. If you want it Fast, and you want it High Quality, it won't be Cheap. 3. If you want it High Quality, and you want it Cheap, it won't be Fast. So, how do you want it? <lmao>

Yep, those circular scratches around the body of the brass - those aren't scratches. That's a rough chamber. That's the only way those could have happened, in the rifle. Upper manufacture doesn't matter, but DPMS does make those uppers, and lowers, for Fulton Armory. What you need to be concerned about here is that JP made your bolt, and it's a Fulton barrel, and the two weren't headspaced. That is, unless you sent that JP bolt to Fulton when you bought the barrel, and they headspaced it for you (they will do that when you buy any barrel from them). You need to headspace check that combo...

<laughs> <lmao> THAT'S PERFECT!!! :hail:
