It's legit - I still have a spare from them in the packaging. It's real - you did well. I honestly forgot about them, as a solution, because they just recently started doing that.

They're fucking with you... I've had Brownell's shipments like that. Watch them go all over the country, by train, to different destinations - major ports, for trains - , just not close to destinations that are near me. Just because it's cheaper for them to send it that way - train from hell, all over the country, basically free for them. A mere 13 cents could have changed that, and made my delivery time 2 weeks earlier... I'm just sayin'...

Canadian postage...

Might need work. 99% of them do. It's all detailed in the PSA Section, all the fixes. Easily searchable.

That might be like throwing a lithium battery into a pond... I've never worked as hard as these guys did - I've just done it simple, and literally thrown a lith batt into a pond. These guys worked for it. Whatever your method - it's equally as Spicy...

THis thread needs moved into the 80% section - this isn't the place for it. The very design of this section is for need to know information, not questions, and it's subsection title is clear. The whole section was started as Read-Only, but opened up to the public. This thread needs moved to 80%.

So, you're telling me that there's no way in hell that we can waterboard one of them... Great...

Here's a couple more articles on school violence prevention from them - I think they know what they're talking about, when they're talking about "protecting someone..." Just sayin'... https://www.secretservice.gov/sites/default/files/2020-04/Protecting_Americas_Schools.pdf https://www.secretservice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2020-10/USSS_NTAC_Enhancing_School_Safety_Guide.pdf Gun Free Zones are garbage, and attract violent offenders. Period. In a Gun Free Zone, someone hell-bent on killing people will know that they've at least got a few minutes to wreak as much havoc as they intend. Most suck-start their own gun, when things get tense, and they're closed in on. Chickenshiits, from the very beginning, preying upon the weak in the first place. When it comes time to do Gangster shiit, against some real Gangsters (police show up), they don't want to fight anymore. Hmmm.

Here's the most recent NTAC MAPS report, covering 2016~2020. Check the source, closely, and see if they know what they're talking about. You'll need to either download this one, or open it - it'll open in it's own browser. https://www.secretservice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2023-01/usss-ntac-maps-2016-2020.pdf Here is where that report comes from: https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2023/01/new-secret-service-research-examines-first-time-five-years-mass-violence Here's one of their articles on targeting school violence, and more importantly - how to stop it... https://www.secretservice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2021-03/USSS Averting Targeted School Violence.2021.03.pdf Oh, I have more...

Discuss, at will. I'm gonna bring the data. Bet your ass on that.

I'll get more into this with more documentation, proof, data, all that. For now, here's the most recent article that kicked me off about this nonsense. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2023/02/13/the-new-york-times-has-an-embarrassing-epiphany-about-gun-free-zones-n1670169 The New York Times Has an Embarrassing Epiphany About 'Gun-free Zones' By Matt Margolis 1:09 PM on February 13, 2023 We’ve all seen signs announcing a particular place is a “gun-free zone.” While these signs are supposed to reduce gun violence by informing would-be shooters that their firearms aren’t welcome on the site, the reality is that they are instead beacons alerting criminals to soft targets. And it looks like the New York Times may have finally figured that out. After a murder took place in Times Square on Thursday night, the paper openly questioned why posted signs banning guns from the area didn’t stop the violence. “The shooting was the first since the creation of the expansive, signposted zone, the police said in a statement, and it immediately renewed questions about whether such a designation can truly protect the area,” the so-called paper of record reported. “People feel emboldened to carry guns on the street,” said Tom Harris, a retired New York City police inspector and the president of the Times Square Alliance, told the Times. “A gun-free zone is not going to stop a criminal from carrying a gun.” I have to admit I’m shocked that the New York Times acknowledged this. While I’d like to give them credit for that, the fact is the inefficacy of gun-free zones is something conservative media has been pointing out for years. In fact, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the Pulse nightclub, Sandy Hook Elementary School, and Virginia Tech University were all targeted by mass shooters despite being gun-free zones — and that’s barely scratching the surface. According to a 2018 study by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), a whopping 97.8% of mass shootings over a 68-year period occurred in “gun-free zones.” So, while it’s great that the New York Times finally has acknowledged that gun-free zones are useless, this epiphany is decades too late.

Did you crimp them. Asking for a friend...

Wow. Never would I ever...

Rex is exactly right, below. vvv White Oak Armament will make you any gas tube you want, whenever you want, and you can do it right on their website - in the past, you used to have to call it in, and be questioned on what you were doing, what you were making, why you think it's correct - and they stopped that, with a disclaimer. They're gonna make anything you want, you specify it, and it's not their issue if it doesn't work out. They make it to your dimensions, that you specify. You click this link right here, and it's the page to get your custom gas tube from WOA. https://www.whiteoakarmament.com/white-oak-custom-gas-tube.html What the Armalite Rifle gas tube is: 15.5" OAL, AR-10 bend. You order that, and you'll get a gas tube that's identical to one you'd get from Armalite. If you want to measure and get specific, find out how far your gas tube is from center of the cam pin cutout, remove your gas tube and measure it's OAL, and add the dimension that's "short from center." That will give you a perfect gas tube, that ends in the very center of the cam pin cutout, like it should be. Your barrel was drilled "in between." It's gas port location isn't AR15, and it's not Armalite AR-10. It's between those two specs.

That, right there, my brother - would give me satisfaction, and a little payback. Cujo the Beaver was no joke, and he haunts me to this day...

I'm really liking your mini-gun approach. This might lead to something... I can see Rob pulling this, on his annual squirrel hunt...

It obviously shipped with an AR15 Rifle Gas Tube in it, or the pic you posted before wouldn't look like it did. You need an Armalite AR-10 Rifle Length Gas Tube to make that right. Not a copy, not a description of "AR-10 Rifle gas tube" from some shiit-vendor - the real part, from Armalite. Armalite Part # is 10007010. It's 15.5" OAL, and that's what you need to solve this issue.

@Robocop1051 loves squirrels. Just sayin'. We can't be rippin' up squirrels with a vertical chainsaw, because that's LESS squirrels for him to handle. Just wouldn't be right.

Shiit, contact me via PM, and I'll send you 5 of those projectiles to try out...

Get a box of those Hornady 225s, and try them out - my thoughts on it. Weight matters, projo construction matters - but the 225 SST is built pretty tough. Will it survive a 1:3" twist? I have no idea. Load up 5, lower charge, and try them out, and if they suck - I'll buy the rest of the box off you, because I can use them. Whatever happens, it won't happen inside the barrel. They might spin fast, but they won't come apart inside the barrel - if that's really the case - until they leave the barrel. If you shoot a couple, and see a small smoke cloud, then they're coming apart... in flight... If it was me, in your situation, I'd risk it. Completely. No hesitation.

Hornady makes a good 225gr projectile - that's what I use in my .338 Federal AR. Those things are always available. 225 SST. It has a pretty badass G1 BC, at .515. This one: https://www.hornady.com/bullets/rifle/338-cal-338-225-gr-sst#!/

No Can Defense. Unpossible. Beavers would fuk the griz's up.

I heard that he was sleeping, and missed one...

I love it...

Now you'll get Mikey started again...
