Ogive. Curve of the bullet, in a case that's 5mm longer than the 300BLK. Look down into a loaded (with 5.56) 5.56 mag - see those ribs at the front? Ogive on the .308 projo, loaded into a 40mm case, can hit the ribs, and reduce capacity. Here's some 5.56 to give you a visual: In a side-by-side look, you can see where the issue will be: Ribbed mag next to a de-ribbed mag: Loaded ribbed mag next to a loaded de-ribbed mag:

Mike, to take the delta ring and weld spring off the barrel nut, you'd have to remove the barrel nut - barrel can stay in the upper receiver, but the nut must come off to take it apart - just cut it with a dremel cut-off wheel. Cut the weld spring, too. After that, you can mangle the snap=ring with a pair of pliers, and take it off. Heat that flash hider - I almost guarantee you that DPMS loc-tited that fucker on the barrel. Everything else should be simple. If you don't have the tools, and time is a factor, find a local 'smith that knows ARs. If time is no factor, send me the upper, and I'll pop it apart right away for nothing, and set the handguard/front sight up for you, and ship it right back. <thumbsup>

The news on this just keeps getting more twisted, and worse. The problem in this country isn't too many guns, and not enough gun control. The problem in this country is not enough guns, and not enough people proficiently trained to use them. "Gun control and gun laws" shouldn't be a list of who can have and who can't have firearms, or where you can carry, and not. "Gun Control" should be a list of firearms qualification requirements you have to meet, and how often you have to meet them - for everybody over 18. Proficiency. I can't even imagine how so many of those parents feel right now. That will last forever.

That's some fine shootin', Rene! <thumbsup>

Now, how in the hell do you have that many thumbs?... <dontknow> <laughs>

I want it loud and blasty for the dude that's in front of it - I don't give a poop about his hearing... <thumbsup> <lmao> If he winds up on that side of it, it's for a reason - he has bigger issues at that point... <dontknow>

Whomever you deem a trustee is who will be able to use the items in the trust. In a NFA trust, you need to be one of the trustees in order to use the NFA items on your own (owner not present during use).

<laughs> <lmao>

Magwa, if you cut the delta ring off with a dremel, and cut the weld spring, then you wouldn't have to remove that barrel nut (and disassemble it from the back). That's the easiest way to go about it. Gas tube roll pins are gas tube roll pins - they're all the same. You can remove the one you have in the railed gas block, and reuse it in the A2 asembly that you have, if it's not damaged. They're pretty easy to get out. <thumbsup>

Felt concussion on a short barrel can be pretty heinous. On my 11.5", to me as the shooter, it feels no different than a 14.5" carbine. the 7.5" is a complertely different story. I started it with a standard A2, just to shoot it, and it damn near rattled my teeth - the concussion was BAD. I decided to not dick around with a bunch of different devices, and just put the KX3 (pig) on there right away. I feel no concussion now - just like shooting any of the other ones, now. The biggest advantage - people next to me don't get blasted out. <thumbsup> Mike has a shorty, too - I think it's a 7.5". I don't know what kind of muzzle device he has, but that thing was painfull to shoot beside. :o On a 10.5", you are right at that length where it might not bother you too bad, and it might not be very bad when beside it. There's ONE way to determine that, too... Have someone else shoot it, and you stand beside it. Once you do that, itll be pretty clear which direction you need to go. NOTE: I'm not talking about getting directly beside the end of the barrel. Keep yourself about 5 to 8 feet to the side... about the distance to the next shooting table at a range...

Let's do it! <thumbsup>

Unlocked - follow this flowchart, and you can't go wrong. <thumbsup> http://www.calguns.net/caawid/flowchart.pdf

"Livestock Breeder" is an actual profession. Those guys just take it too far... <laughs>

...or a cow?... <dontknow> <lmao>

I could try to explain that, Matt, but it's probably easier if I just post the link - nothing in your search history that way... LOTS less to explain! <thumbsup> <lmao> http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/482372/

The 30mm cannon is a very formidable weapon... Hellfires are just plain NASTY. ;D

Nah - the donkey's boyfriend just got shot - he was mourning. <thumbsup> You guys have heard about that, right?... <laughs> <lmao> FLIR vids are out there... <dontknow>

Hey unlocked, reason I said that was - good tech info will get lost in the Intro section. If it's in the right (rifle) tech section, people that hit those sections will always see it. <thumbsup> You'll have responses to your (long ago answered) questions two years down the road... <laughs> Wasn't trying to bring you down, man, if it seemed that way. ;D

That IS great news! It's a victory for you, in KaliforniStan! <thumbsup>

carnivore, that is EXCELLENT work on that paintjob!!! <thumbsup> You knocked that outta the park, man. Fine, fine work. :happydrunks:

I'm in, brother, one way or another. <thumbsup>

Damn thing HAS to be a strange cross-bred Whale Shark combination!!!... :o

AWESOME PRICE!!! I'm pretty sure that if I could find a deal like that locally, with two of them on-hand, I'd be able to talk Jon into "1/2 a matched set..." <lmao> ;D

That's the best damn thing I've read in weeks... <lmao> <laughs> <thumbsup>

Your's was unreal to shoot, brother - flatest shooting rifle I've ever fired. That thing was so fast on-target for follow-ups. <thumbsup>
