  1. Based on that info, man, you could literally Google "AR-15 .750 gas block," and anything you find will work on your rifle. Only two things gas block-related) would need to be considered: 1. is the gas block I'm looking at going to fit under my freefloat rail/handguard? (if you're going that route), and 2. What gas tube am I going to need for this barrel? 2nd question I put up there, just because I have no idea what gas system lengths RRA uses on their .308s. I'm not sure if they're some proprietary, weird length or not - that's definitely something to research. <thumbsup>
  2. Published December 29, 2011 | Associated Press WASHINGTON – The District of Columbia has been ordered to pay more than $1 million in attorneys' fees as a result of a historic gun case that was ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Dick Heller sued the city in 2003 over its ban on handgun ownership and the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the ban in June 2008, saying it violated the Second Amendment. A federal judge on Thursday issued an opinion awarding Heller's attorneys $1,137,072.27 in fees and expenses. The attorneys had argued they should be awarded $3.1 million. Attorneys for the city said the figure should be closer to $840,000. A spokesman for the D.C. Office of the Attorney General said city lawyers were studying the opinion. A telephone message left for Heller's lead lawyer, Alan Gura, wasn't immediately returned. The judge's opinion awards Gura approximately $662,000 for more than 1,500 hours of work on the case, paying him at a rate of $420 per hour. Five other members of Heller's team are also compensated. After the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in 2008, the city rewrote its gun laws and for the first time in more than 30 years permitted handgun ownership. The new laws, however, include numerous registration requirements. Those requirements prompted Heller to sue again, saying that the new laws are too restrictive. That case is still pending, with a federal appeals court ruling in October that the city must provide evidence justifying what it called "novel" handgun registration requirements including vision tests. The city is considering changes to the law that, if implemented, could impact the case.

  3. Arch, sorry I came across as getting on you about that, last night - I only meant to correct the terminology, but I didn't do that very politely. My apologies for stating it the way I did, man. <thumbsup>
  4. Exactly - don't get down on the LEOs for what they ARE allowed to own - get after the state government that creates the dumbass laws that restrict the civilians so much. I still hold the opinion that the LEOs need to be armed, greatly, when off duty - in that crazyass state, they're certainly targets. It's sad how there's such little respect for law enforcement anymore - some of the BS that people actually say to police when they're pulled over (not talking about this discussion, in the least...). Worse yet, the disregard for the law, when some freak jumps out of a car and starts shooting at them. The frequency that this happens nowadays is mind boggling.
  5. This, right here, actually led down the (short) road to another build - iron sights on a 20" rifle build, but a little different - basically, a National Match 20" rifle, but wood furniture. It turned out SWEET! <thumbsup> http://308ar.com/forum/black-rifles/re-swfabobro-scope-mount-review/
  6. DPMS is not an AR-10. Fix your thread title, by editing your post. Hate to be a stickler, but that's one big detail that matters. It's just not an Armalite AR-10, which would be the only "AR-10."

    Hiya

    Bull. I'm VERY happily divorced, so I'll take this job. <lmao> Welcome aboard, man. <thumbsup>
  8. That's a great way to look at it - happy to have you here. Welcome! <thumbsup>
  9. Personally, I'm pretty damn happy that you're here now, Clint - please stick around, man. <thumbsup>
  10. That just means it's functional under hand pressure - which it should be, for a new gun. That doesn't necessarily mean it functions fine when fired. That test just means "it's not completely screwed," but a serious problem with the extractor would have shown, with that. You could still have an extractor issue here. Try the gun lube first, instead of motor oil, and see where that gets you. Might solve everything. Fire up some results of what happens next. I was kinda hoping the casing would pop out, too - make this easy. <dontknow> <laughs>
  11. Haha! Awesome! <thumbsup> ;D
  12. We've needed you here for awhile, Slash - glad you showed up. <thumbsup> I like the Woody Hayes avatar better, man. ;D
  13. This almost looks like an extractor issue - the extractor is failing to hang into the spent casing, and the ejector is popping it loose before it fully clears the chamber, or clears the ejection port opening. Since it doesn't happen every time, and some rounds are clearing, the ejector is working - see if that thing had some stout spring pressure by trying to push it in with a spent case. You can also see if it's sticking in position the same way. Remove the BCG from the rifle, hook the rim of a spent case into the extractor, and press it "straight" onto te bolt face to depress the ejector. Hit that a few times to see if there's any hangups with the ejector, or if the case rim slips off the exrtactor.
  14. When you get the FTEs, is the empty case still stuck to the bolt face, or is it just laying in the chamber? You may need to test this with only one round in the magazine. Ensure that the bolt is locking to the rear, but see where the empty case goes.
  15. What's listed is a good price. Not the best, but good.
  16. What exactly are you looking to replace? All the furniture, or just one or two things? Welcome. <thumbsup>
  17. It's the VooDoo double rifle case in 36". Saw that up there last time I went through, but didn't pick it up then. Damn nice case.
  18. Before you make a decision, I would definitely go down to the For Sale section, and look at the MA-TEN Group Buy thread. Get that price first, before you decide on this set right here. <thumbsup>
  19. In Phoenix right now, and I'll be passing back through there sometime later on Tuesday - late afternoon or early evening. <thumbsup> I'll definitely give you a shout. I'm going to try to time my trip so I can hit Sportsman's Warehouse before they close. They have a soft case I'm after, and I have Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket... <laughs>
  20. I haven't, either - that's just the stuff available for the 15s, and those parts are the same (different sizes that will come up in a search for him). That would be a lightweight .308 barrel... <thumbsup>
  21. Pics, man. It's not really a site rule, but more like a "protocol." Don't turn into a Matt Cross on us... <lmao>
  22. Man, how long does he really need to snap a few pics, then attach 'em?! <dontknow> It's been hours now... I guess "hours" is a small drop in the bucket, since we've been waiting MONTHS now... :o <lmao> I knew I should have gotten him a watch for Christmas. Maybe a calendar would have been more appropriate... <laughs>
  23. They should be standard. Four sizes pretty much cover the entire industry: .625" // .750" // .875" // .936"
  24. I'm not even going to explain it - this information is invaluable for shooting. If you start this for every new rifle, you'll be very far ahead of the power curve. You'll need to read through the whole document to understand what I'm saying. https://www.tacticalgearsuperstore.com/Rifle%20Log%20book_FINALebook.pdf Download it before it's gone... <thumbsup>
