Geo Metro, brother. I'm seeing them pop up starting at a grand - DEEP into your $15k budget! This dude is pullin' 100mpg!!! http://jalopnik.com/5558345/how-to-get-997-mpg-from-a-geo-metro

I hear ya, brother. DSG Arms is very, very good with the honor system, for many customers. Back in 2010, I ordered a 16" midlength 5.56 barrel from them - an Armalite barrel. They sent me a 20" barrel by mistake. I called them and stated that this rifle "had to be together and test fired by the end of the week," and I was in a time crunch. They overnighted me the correct barrel. Included in that box was the return shipping label for the incorrect barrel. So, they weren't concerned that they didn't have their stuff back first, before shipping out the other. Very cool. Their instructions were: unpack the correct barrel tomorrow when you receive it. Place the incorrect barrel back into that box, stick the label on it, and have UPS pick it up when they can. No core deposit, I didn't pay any extra, and didn't have to get pissed off at anyone, at all. They handled that perfectly. I've heard that from many people, but that's how it went for me. They're great. <thumbsup>

Only 97 left in stock - move fast, men. <thumbsup>

This won't be a smoker, or grilling - but the deep pit. Next weekend, me and DNP are meeting up for our Thanksgiving ritual, out in the sand. I picked up two 15lb turkeys today, and the ribs. Got 4 racks, totaling 24lbs. These things are monsters. Dawn Marie started the vacuum packs today, dropped a rack in each pack, and stuck in the marinade. They don't go into the campfire pit until next Saturday night. <thumbsup>

^^^ THAT is AWESOME!!! <lmao>

...just the opposite, brother... <lmao> Rob called it. You're never smart enough to ride one of these things - just dumb enough to get back on. It's never in control, you can't man-handle it, and it's always making up it's own mind on when it's going to try to kill you next. You can only pray it doesn't succeed. This is the scariest bike I've ever ridden in my entire life. I've ridden some pretty crazy schit - Turbo Raptor 660 on methanol, WITH nitrous, pushing out over 175hp WITHOUT the nitrous. Schit like that. This thing is MUCH scarier. That's why I own one. <dontknow>

Mike, congrats on the XDS, brother! Now, here's my $0.02. I can't see why you'd build a 300Blk upper. To swap onto another lower, that the 20" lives on already? Why not just build another lower. Then you have two complete rifles, instead of 1.5 rifles. I'm just sayin'...

Great article, right here: http://sadefensejournal.com/wp/?p=1093

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.

I can't imagine filling the living room with 2-stroke smoke! <lmao>

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?

^^^ 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.

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>

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

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>

So I did. Before she changed her mind!

It should, but I don't know if it should... Make sense?

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...).

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.

<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>

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>

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>

DPMS tight chamber, from the factory. Wash called it. Ream/polish the chamber, either yourself or by a good AR gunsmith. <thumbsup>

<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:
