Safety spring is larger in diameter... Won't fit in the detent hole, unless the machining was bad and that hole is huge. We've seen some huge holes before... :eek: <dontknow> <laughs>

I'm pretty sure there's some airline that can get you here by Saturday afternoon, and get you back out Sunday in the PM. If you show up on Saturday afternoon, that means I need to buy ANOTHER Supercross ticket... I'll do the picking up and delivering at the airport, just make sure it's PHX. Let me know if I need to get the additional ticket - I'm already buying 7. You make 8. The ball is in your court, brother... :banana: Pssst. You get to blow up Drew on Sunday... SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!! ONE DAY ONLY!!! <laughs> <lmao>

Now we've just wiped out tomorrow for Matt. He's gona be watching votes, trying to hit that button like he's going for something on eBay at the last minute... <laughs> <lmao> <munch>

I'll buy a Prius for you... <dontknow> :banana:

Oh, you just wait until I get my other computer fired up, mister. We have hills out here, and we hang Jeeps off of them. Il'l get you some pics...

...then my first PM to you would have been unanswered... <laughs> I'm not lying about that first PM - I STILL think you're hot! :yup: <lmao>

Brother, I hope you meant one thousand... If you're not getting a 3" group at 100, don't even shoot at something at 600. :eek: <laughs>

I'm almost there, brother, in the middle of the desert. We can hit high 20s in the winter and damn near 120 in the summer. :ugone2far: :tweed: I did not know that about the AA powders, or the IMR powders. <thumbsup>

That's 1/3 MOA!!! :eek: You need more than scope to do that!!! :hail:

Might be a "machining problem" on the lower, then, if that hole isn't the proper depth. I don't have an unassembled lower on me right now, or I'd measure it for you - someone here has to have one, though. It's gonna be the exact same depth on a .308 AR as it is on an AR-15 lower, so just about any lower should do for measurement... EDIT - Eff it, I've got a built lower that I'll strip down tonight... I'll get a measurement back in here before the clock strikes 12... I can take some additional pics, then, and show you how to get that thing together easier...

You got it, brother. SUPERCROSS SATURDAY NIGHT!!! Dawn Marie will be driving, too... :happydrunks:

SCHIT!

I'm not gonna lie - I was GLAD when I saw Larry post in this one... I was worried... <laughs> <lmao>

That's just MSRP, as printed by the very first publication that was allowed to review them - street price won't be that steep.

I've got a damn sweet Krylon Khaki carbine. It's pretty unique, with what it's made of. I recognized that color right away. <thumbsup>

There's not a Geissele made that won't light off a hardened military primer. I'm just sayin'...

Check the detent pin without a spring in there, first - if that thing won't go in the machined hole for it, you might need to employ some small drill bits and "fix" that hole a little bit.

Militarily, the rule is 1x for every hundred yards. 9x gets you 900 yards. That has changed alot in the last decade, with some badass scopes available to military snipers. For 600, the 3-9x40 on mine does just fine, and my eyes aren't perfect.

Tell you what - have you assembled the takedown pin yet? Use the takedown pin to assemble the pivot pin, then put the takedown pin in.

Same spring. In fact, pivot pin spring and takedown pin spring are the same, AR-15 and .308 AR. Same one. In the pivot pin, it doesn't go all the way in - the detent sticks out. You need to compress it with the pin, or compress it to get the pin in there. It can be tricky. Attempt to assemble it inside a 1 gallon zip-lock freezer bag - because when the thing shoots out, it won't go far... If you attempt to assemble it uncovered, and it shoots across your room - you will never see it again...

754. That's not a Boeing. I'm pissed.

For sure! Pinky is a 16" midlength, and that thing might look funny, but it's one hell of a shooter. The other 16" midlength I have is a precision rig, the Spike's billet set with the Wilson/Nordic barrel. That thing is smoooooooooth. Carbine gas system was a direct development of rifle gas system on the A1/A2 with the 20" barrel. Dwell time - distance from the end of the barrel, back to the gas port location. The amount of time (or distance) that gas is entering the gas port, before the bullet leaves the barrel. It's almost identical on the 20" A1/A2 barrel (from end of barrel back to gas port location) as it is on the 14.5" barrel carbine. End of carbine barrel back to the gas port location, of the carbine gas system. Civilian-legal barrels must be a minimum length of 16", so carbine gas systems in a 16" barrel have longer dwell time. A 16" AR with carbine gas feels a little "more harsh" or has "more recoil" than the military 14.5" carbine - because of that extra 1.5" of barrel. More dwell time. Midlength gas systems started out as an alternative on a 16" civilian-legal barrel, to replicate that magic amount of dwell time of the A1/A2, and the military carbine with the 14.5" barrel.

YES!!! KRYLON KHAKI!!!

^^^ <lmao> As much as it makes some people schit their panties, I keep most of mine like that. None are chambered, but most have a loaded mag in them. Otherwise, they're only good for throwing them at things... This one obviously isn't a shooter yet, but it should be soon. Final "get it into operation" part is on it's way.

Damn Ron, I'm feelin' what you're feelin'! <dontknow> Gotta beat up on me a some others to make the page run well? <lmao>
