JD Machine, like Robo stated. Give them a call, and go that route - you don't have many choices in Cali, as far as manufacturers go. That "list" pretty much has you screwed. That will put you on a DMPS-patterned build, and that's not a bad thing. To make a 1,000 yard-capable .308 AR rifle, You can run the Fulton Arrmory stainless 18.5" Criterion barrel, and that will get you there, as far as barrel capability goes. If you want longer, they have a 20". Start there - matched upper and lower set from JD, and barrel from Fulton. After that, be on the lookout for a Fulton Armory BCG setup. Those are the guts for an accurate rifle, and most everything else is cosmetics. We'll get you into the trigger later. <thumbsup>

Damn! Mini B2!

Go get 'em, NoFail! Just do us a favor, bro - make sure your avatar moves with you... We don't want her to get lost, man!!! <thumbsup> I used to haunt the Santa Cruz, Capitola, and Aptos areas myself, when I was at Ft Ord. I know what you mean about the area, man.

I didn't see that one previously... There's going to be alot impacting CO in the near future.

OUTDOOR CHANNEL PULLS PRODUCTION FROM COLORADO DUE TO CO SENATE BETRAYING 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS! From: Michael Bane Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 4:09 PM Subject: OUTDOOR CHANNEL Pulls Productions from Colorado To: Steve King Dear Senator King; I met you yesterday after the so-called "public hearings" on the anti-gun bills; as I mentioned, I am an Executive Producer for OUTDOOR CHANNEL. I currently have four series in production, including GUN STORIES, the top show on OC, with several additional series in development. My series focus on guns, hunting, shooting and the outdoors. This morning I met with my three Producers, and we made the decision that if these anti-gun bills become law, we will be moving all of our production OUT of Colorado. We have already canceled a scheduled filming session for late this month. Obviously, part of this is due to our own commitment to the right to keep and bear arms, but it also reflects 3 lawyers' opinions that these laws are so poorly drafted and so designed to trap otherwise legal citizens into a crime (one of our attorneys referred to them as "flypaper laws") that it is simply too dangerous for us to film here. I can give you chapter and verse on the legal implications if you need, but suffice to say that the first legal opinion was so scary we went out and got two others. All three attorneys agreed. We are relatively small potatoes in television, but our relocation of production will cost Colorado a little less than a million dollars in 2013. Secondly, we have proudly promoted Colorado in our productions (and have been moving more and more production into the state); now we will do exactly the opposite. What does this mean for Colorado? The community of television producers is a small one. Last week I had lunch with a major network producer who was looking to locate his new reality series in Colorado. That producer is also a shooter, and the new reality series will now be based out of Phoenix. That lunch cost Colorado over a million in economic impact. Thirdly, according to numbers I received from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (for whom I used to work) yesterday, hunting had an almost $800,000,000 impact on Colorado in 2012, driving as many as 8330 jobs. Next month I will be in Texas meeting with most of the top outdoor/hunting producers, and the Number One agenda item will be Colorado. Already, hunting organizations and statewide hunting clubs around the country are pulling out of Colorado, and we expect this trend to accelerate rapidly. The message we will take to our viewers and listeners is that these proposed laws are so dangerous to hunters and any other person, be she a fisherman or a skier who brings a handgun into the state for self-defense, that we cannot recommend hunting, fishing or visiting Colorado. We reach millions of people, and, quite frankly, we have a credibility that Colorado government officials can no longer match. Colorado Division of Wildlife is already running ads trying to bring more out-of-state hunters to Colorado...in light of the flood of negative publicity about these proposed laws, I can assure you those ads will fail. We estimate that as many as one-quarter to one-third of out-of-state hunters will desert Colorado in the next 18-24 months, which will quite frankly be a disaster for the hunting industry in Colorado and have a devastating effect on our western and northern communities (certainly cities like Grand Junction). This is not a "boycott" in the traditional sense of a centralized, organized operation; rather, it is more of a grassroots decision on where shooters, hunters and other sportsmen are willing to spend their money. Look at the collapse of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in February. That venerable multimillion dollar trade show chose to ban modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines, and within three weeks it collapsed as all vendors and sponsors pulled out. Colorado is going to pay a huge price for laws that will do nothing. Thank you, sir, for your support. Best. Michael Bane OUTDOOR CHANNEL mbane@outdoorchannel.com

Put me on your trust - they can live in AZ until your state gets it's head out of it's ass. <thumbsup>

^^^ The Raptor is a bad sum'bitch. <thumbsup>

Here is that thread:

I'll weight it out for you tomorrow, and list it in here.

Not with the sheit-storm going on right now - they've pretty much sealed their fate. IRS... Benghazi... Justice Dept hitting AP phones... All the other Administration Lying... For 2014, they're done. My prediction.

What he said. You don't even need to attend an Appleseed Shoot - you can join the RWVA directly. Hit this link: http://www.appleseedinfo.org/join_rwva.html

Federal makes it, and I always nail several boxes of that whenever I hit up Cabela's. Another real good one from Federal American Eagle is the 7.62x51 ammo for the M1A - it's a 168gr OTM round, and works very, very well. <thumbsup>

Josh sent me a vid to my phone, and I can't get it to play now on the computer. I'll have to resend it, and try to post it. That sheit went FAST! :eek:

^^^ Good prices, too. This is the next most-inexpensive way to go, Rene - this is my practice ammo for the M1903A4:

This is the Beta mag dump. Mike's upper was so hot, from previous firing, so I tossed my 14.5" upper on there and got busy. Lots of brass in the air...

That little guy is my hero!!! <thumbsup>

I feel like a dumbass now, but when all this panic started and I was looking for components, the only .30 cal on the shelves arounf here was 110gr to 125gr. I walked away, thinking "No way am I putting that light stuff in my AR..." Didn't even consider 300BLK loadings at the time. I just wanna kick myself... :binkybaby:

I'm WAY good with it - I had some brass FLYIN'... :2nd: Disclaimer - my performance brought to you by copious amounts of coffee, and Monster Energy.

If you know someone military, they can accompany/escort you to Range 9 at Fort Riley. There's more involved, but knowing someone with a Mil ID Card would be the first step.

Ironically, I haven't even started loading for this caliber yet. I've got ALOT of 5.56 brass to convert, but haven't even shopped for projectiles. Not in this current climate. I'll probably wait until the end of summer to even start on the brass, honestly. Really looking forward to loading this up. <thumbsup>

Right on, brother! I love that MOE rifle stock. <thumbsup>

For heavy rifle that will get humped around alot, the TT 3-point is the sheit - wide strap material that distributes the load well (better that skinny straps), the 3-point keeps it close to your body when you're moving, bending forward, etc. It's the only way to go for a heavy rifle that you'll be carrying around for some distance. I had my TT 3-point left over from my M4A1, in Afghani-land. That thing weight just over 10lbs, unloaded, and got run up and down mountains, etc. Damn glad I had it. When I built the .308 AR, I already had it, and it was a short decision-making process on it. <thumbsup>

Just a note on the Tubb Final Finish projectiles, and kits - those projectiles are actually abrasive. They're numbered differently, and vary in the level of abrasiveness - like sandpaper. Shoot them in order, and it smoothes out any manufacuring imperfections in a barrel's rifling, from the rifling process. Obviously, match grade barrels that have been final finish lapped by the barrel maker won't benefit from it as much as a "good" barrel that's mass produced, or semi-mass produced. I've used it on the "accurate" barrels that I've purchased, that are "almost" match barrels. Ironically, they're all Wilson Arms stainless barrels, 1:8 twist, with .223 Wylde chambers - one 16" midlength, one 18" rifle gas, and one 20" rifle gas.

I can't find a pic of this beast anywhere... It's gonna be damn nice, that's for sure.

Probably not - we damn near put Drew in the Poor House! <laughs>
