Sad news - Tom Clancy passed away Tuesday night. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/10/02/tom-clancy-dies-at-age-66-according-to-multiple-media-reports/ RIP

That's awesome, man! I'd like to see more of these rifles out there - as more time goes by, we'll start to see what's really different about them. After that, parts start turning up. <thumbsup>

That pricing is AWESOME!

:fawkdance:

I'm in, brother! I'll go back through the thread and gather the payment details, then get the stuff out to you right away. <thumbsup>

This isn't a guessing game, like "Who's on First?!" with Abbott and Costello. Redefine your original post, and tell us what you're looking for.

That's why DPMS makes extruded uppers. Not true at all - there are many companies out there now making rails for BOTH screwed up sizes of DPMS upper receivers. New, old, doesn't matter. You can find a great rail out there for either.

Give more details now - how is your rifle running?

Best bet is to Google the part number, and search through the field. Here's a sample search - don't be offended. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Magpul+LR20

Schit, I missed this boat completely. Let me know when/if you do another run. I'm an XL kinda guy. Fcuk me...

I'd risk it. <thumbsup>

That ammo is mil-surp, and it's 30 years and 7 months old, right now. You can't guarantee that it was ever stored properly, at all, and the brass isn't schit by now. Get some NEW, good ammo, shoot it, and see what happens. I'd be curious. Also, that was the first round - it's brand new. You need to run a few through it to see how everything functions. That first round is kinda like putting ten targets up, firing one round apiece at them, hitting the dead center on one, and saying "My rifle is dead nuts ON!" You need to see the variation in more rounds fired, before you can really judge what the rifle is doing. My $0.02.

Very, very interesting device. Read the details in the link: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/08/18/sig-sb15-pistol-stabilizing-brace-review/ Before everyone that doesn't read the link gets in a huff, that was/is a registered SBR in that pic, and that's the only way a "pistol" would be legal with a forward vertical grip...

Pack that full-sized AR in a case as small as the one in the picture, or pack it in a small(er) backpack if you're in the wilderness. That's the whole reason I went with the LAW Tactical Folding Stock Adapters - pack rifle-caliber firearms into a backpack that doesn't look like there's a full-sized AR in there. Stealth, when you need/want stealth.

Sources, as in who makes them, or currently in stock stuff?

BRD51, here's your avatar photo:

R2... Armalite AR-10 lowers forged?... <dontknow>

My $0.02...

Haven't heard of any issues with JP bolts, or their ejectors. You have to look at what's going on - if the spent cartridge is pulled from the chamber, the extractor is working. If the brass is getting out of the rifle, the ejector is working. If either of those things are not occurring, then look at the part that's not doing it's job. If the rifle is clean, and all the parts work, it should run, almost flawlessly, until it's either too hot to run right, or too dirty to run right. That should be thousands of rounds.

Pretty sweet setup! At first, just from the link, I thought it looked like an Aero Precision/Armalite COP upper. Not the case. This is more like a Ruger 10/22 Takedown. Nice!

I don't see it that way, man - I'm glad you brought it up. Now, we know what you're looking for - the process of troubleshooting on these things. Now that it's known, drive on from here. There IS a lot of info in this thread about that already - I hope you didn't think you received no answers. The only reason I feel confident in a lot of my answers is this: I've got over 20 years of experience watching Soldiers fcuk up weapons. I've seen it all. Some of those guys (and girls) could break an anvil in a sandpit.
