...And... you need to check this forum closely, if you're thinking about the IRA setups. Just words of caution. Phonecalls to them with specific questions might be in order, before sending off a wad of money. Again, just words of caution. <dontknow>

What are you gonna lap?

First, don't EVER slam a Go/No Go gauge into battery by the bolt release. EVER. That's one way to really screw up a semi-auto firearm. You RIDE the bolt carrier forward on the gauge, and if it doesn't seat, you have a problem. Hope you haven't done anything worse to the rifle by doing that, besides whatever issue it already has. Chances are, you've done more damage to it by doing that.

That will probably never, ever happen. These things can't be built from new parts as cheaply as the AR 15. That's just how it is.

Neither one of those is made for .308 ARs. Those two are out.

Kinda hard to immediately commit to keeping it pinned in 3rd gear right off the top of a 100-foot hill that you can't see over... <laughs> I worked up to that, and it was in the clip - last time I hit it. By the next day, the high winds had completely changed that whole takeoff. It would have been suicide to try to go out there and do the exact same thing right off - and that gets alot of people out there. The dunes can change daily. :o

I was making some plans to load up the truck and drive about a hundred miles... <thumbsup> ;D I'll hold out for info.

Drew, I love this mag. <thumbsup>

1.46lbs on the UBR. 1.68lbs if you used the .308 PRS, but that's not counting the receiver extension (which the UBR comes with). So, the UBR has some beef to it, but it's still slightly under the weight of the PRS. With a 20" .308 barrel on there, even fluted, it's still going to need something out back to give it some balance. A PRS would do it well, the UBR would almost be the same, and anything else is going to leave it front-heavy. It's a .308 with a 20" barrel, so it's not going to end up as a carry-all-day, light gun. <dontknow>

Awesome, man - I miss the hell out of slug season there. I'll have to call my brother and see how he did. He's WAY INTO bowhunting, but he always goes out for slugs, too. Hunting is hunting for him. <thumbsup>

Militarily, my gear of choice was Tactical Tailor, going all the way back to the mid-90s. By the late 90s, I was using as much of it as I could. From the early 2000s, all I used was the MAV 2-piece vest setup. Since that gear always worked so well for me, I still currently run that rig, but the MAV 1-piece now. If I need more than that, I've got a padded belt setup (that's all I use when just shooting handguns - no vest necessary for that stuff). The med bag is on there most of the time, but I sometimes change it out for a Maxpedition Roly Poly.

Envious of the weather, the terrain, the race quad... Or my Mad Skills? <laughs>

You sneaky man - I didn't even know you had a whole bolt of ATACS cloth... :o

Is it really this coming Sunday (the 11th)?

Here's ghost-loading the 930 SPX: Note: not my vids, just an example. <thumbsup>

Click that pic, brother! That's an embedded video!... 8)

The SSA-E is one AWESOME trigger - very good call on the combo, Roger! <thumbsup>

<lmao> We HAVE had some people here that wore Pink Lace Panties with a hole in the rear... <laughs>

That suppressor requires a stamp of it's own, ya know. There's another $200, but very well worth it. <thumbsup>

Jon, it can hold 9 total. 7 in the tube, 1 in the chamber, and you can ghost-load another one on the lifter tray (that's with 2 3/4). <thumbsup> The only way to get more in there is with a longer mag extension. That shotgun will eat anything, too. Doesn't matter what the load is. Digests it all without a problem.

Forward assist is the same as the AR-15 parts. Don't know if the dust cover comes as a kit from anybody, but anyone might have that, Fulton Armory might be the ones.

Yeah, brother!!! For a whole week!!! ;D <thumbsup> We planned it all out that way - hell of a great vacation, too. I needed it. Here's a vid from that jump - I'll try to get the helmet-cam stuff cut up into smaller vids. Ignore my kid in this one - he's a dork...

I've been getting that from you alot lately... <lmao> I am looking at that Sig, brother - closely. Once I see one face-to-face, it'll be a difficult decision. Well, costly. I already know how "difficult" it will be... <laughs> This might seem random, but it's an answer to a question from Drew... 8) Teaser pic until I can get some vids loaded up...

My only point, brother, was that they can pass that law there, and it's not going to make a bit of difference in whether or not criminals get guns. They're scaring the public by telling them that the criminals get their guns from gunshows, and they do it through the loophole - once it closes, they'll still get as many as they want, however they want to get them. Closing the "Gunshow Loophole" doesn't have any kind of impact on the ability for a criminal to get his hands on a gun.

Always, brother.
