  1. Tell him I call bull$hit. I can hit out to 300 with the 7.5". Not saying it's deadly at that range, but I can hit steel, with boring regularity. Next time I'm out, I'll take it with me. I'll keep the targets. I'll give you groups from 25, 50, and 100. The problem is FPS. You need to keep the projo speed up for the round to perform like it's designed - fragment. Once it drops under a certain FPS, it won't fragment. I'll find the precise data sometime, because I've got that info saved and stored. Basically, on a 7.5", you're only "effective" out to about 75 yards. Beyond that, no fragmentation. There's also a pretty big drop in speed between 11.5" and 10.5". 20" down to 16" down to 14.5" down to 11.5" - not alot of drop in speed, but almost consistent, inch by inch. It falls pretty far when you get down to 10.5". The step down between those two lengths isn't as consistent as the other inch-by-inch tests.
  2. I can't imagine filling the living room with 2-stroke smoke! <lmao>
  3. If I'm not mistaken, don't all AR lowers have to be registered in Cali - because they're the backbone of the "Cali Assault Rifle" horse schit?
  4. ^^^ What Ron said. I'd just buy a dedicated bolt for that Blk barrel. Swap barrels, and bolts, and keep the two together. Never have an issue.
  5. I'da stuffed some QuickClot into the holes and listened to him scream some more. He wouldn't be bleeding anymore, but that hand would be on fire. <thumbsup>
  6. I'm wondering if that was a safety detent spring, and not a takedown/pivot pin spring. Takedown and pivot pin springs are identical. The safety detent spring is slightly larger in diameter, larger wire coil diameter, and a little bit shorter than takedown and pivot pin springs. EDIT - Matt, I wasn't the first person to mention the MRAD, brother... <dontknow> >:D
  7. Built my kid a lightweight full-metal AR for his 15th birthday. Only time I bought a complete upper assembly. Went with the BCM lightweight carbine-gas 14.5" with the pinned A2X flash suppressor. Used a Surplus Ammo & Arms stripped lower with MOE stuff and a mil-spec buttstock setup. Used a brand new KAC RAS rail on it with KAC foregrip. Wanted something he could handle easily, but also never, ever worry about. It's not sub-5lbs or anything, but it's definitely not heavy, although it is heavy duty. <thumbsup>
  8. So I did. Before she changed her mind!
  9. It should, but I don't know if it should... Make sense?

    no bueno

    The only time I've had that happen was when I missed chamfering the inside of the case mouth, on 5.56 rounds. Is that what primarily causes something like above? It happened early on that batch of brass of mine, and I caught it - and was slapping myself in the head (much like Rob will be doing shortly...).
  11. How fast can you get a 90~100gr 30-cal bullet going in a Blackout loading? Where the hell will we find 90gr 30-cal projos? This sounds fun. <thumbsup> My 16" Nemo barrel is carbine gas, and 1:8 twist. I haven't even finished that build, so I have no idea how it'll do with a range of bullets, but based on early 300Blk data, that's supposed to be an all-around combo. Supposed to do subs and supers decently, more towards the supers. I need to finish that damn thing and get it going.
  12. <lmao> Video, dude, video... I know, brother, racking that schit up left and right. Having "The Warner" smacking himself around on vid might make it worth it, though... :banana:

    Why the hell would you try to fight him?... <lmao>
  14. You guys know the Demo rules, don't ya? Calculate your charge for the given effect. When you think you've got it right, add one more... <laughs> When it goes down, it will be good. <lmao>
  15. The stock on that one in the link is the Tactical Intent TI-7. That thing is solid as hell, and not heavy for having storage tubes. TI makes them for several different vendors, so it might have another branding on it, but that's what it is. I used that thing on Pinky, and like it. <thumbsup>
  16. DPMS tight chamber, from the factory. Wash called it. Ream/polish the chamber, either yourself or by a good AR gunsmith. <thumbsup>
  17. <lmao> All other posting people should take note of his actions... That's how it's supposed to be done, right there. When you find something that nobody else has right now, it's your responsibility to buy one and evaluate it for the rest of us. You must take that plunge. If you ask a question about a certain product, and nobody has any details yet, you're just obligated to do your part for the good of the herd, fall on your sword, and shell out bucks. <thumbsup> <laughs> Well done, 2336, very well done. :hail: :hethan:

    Dave Branson. He should be the go-to source for all things Mega. BB Shooting is the name of his place. <thumbsup>
  19. Yes there will, brother, and some good video of it, too. I think I need to plan it out properly, and get Jon in on that one.
  20. I love it - he couldn't stop laughing... <lmao>
  21. fornicate, I didn't know that!!! <thumbsup> <laughs> EDIT - Well, you CAN'T type F U C K...
  22. I fcukin' ROCK. Come on, say it with me... <lmao>

    elk down

    That's awesome, brother - nice take. That would have me smiling all winter long. <thumbsup>
  24. Supply and Demand, yeah - combined with: Those ones in the link Drew posted - those are AAC factory uppers. Advanced Armament Corp branded stuff. Nothing AAC is cheap.
  25. Rob's at home saying "Ah, SCHIT!" <lmao>
