Oh, I'm in it, brother... ;D I'd honestly go with the FA barrel and bolt right now, put it on the MA-TEN build, and it'll help you forget about the wait on the LW barrel. You might not even want to take it apart leter, seriously. You might come to the conclusion that the FA setup is "getting it done," and you'd completely change lanes and do another build with the LW barrel... <dontknow> If you despise "frank" that much, you may not want to change up the MA-TEN just to put the Fulton barrel on frank. I'm just sayin'... <laughs> Whatever you do, don't reach the "waiting point" that you get pissed and cancel the LW barrel - wait for it. You may have other ideas for it later if you built the Mega with the Fulton setup, though. Happy Decision Making!... <lmao> <munch>

The 14.5" Noveske Afghan barrel has a mid-length gas system - you sure on yours, Jgun? A mid-length gas tube is 9.5" long. Just sayin'...

He might be talking about one of these - the Hi-Rider:

That's actually a pretty good question - I have no idea, especially with the proprietary barrel (who knows if the barrel extension is different?). I don't recall that ever being discussed here yet. <dontknow>

I think I'm gonna back out, too - at this time, I don't have any of my mags converted to the new followers, so even if I had this piece, I couldn't run it prior to converting the mags. That, plus everyone here making me feel guilty, and all. :-[ With that, I think the list is still running... <dontknow>

I don't think it'll ever be too late. <thumbsup> Shoot Dave an email (above, in a recent post) for some pretty fast service. He'll definitely take care of you. Awesome guy to deal with.

Yep, when you order them together, they check it before it gets packaged for shipment. <thumbsup>

Yep, a loose (or missing) cap will throw the Evap (Low) or Evap (High) leak codes... Emissions bastages... <laughs>

No issues with any factory ammo, and I've shot 13 different brands of match ammo through it. I did use a Fulton complete BCG, though.

I'm in. <thumbsup>

If it's a Bushmaster BAR 308, it is made by Rock River, and only Rock River parts are going to fit on it. Best info will be in this post here - call the Bushmaster number referenced in there, if that number is still current. Bushmaster shut down their Windham, Maine plant, so the number listed might not even be current anymore. http://www.bushmaster.com/faqs/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=2426

I'm in for that! <thumbsup>

I've got two different OBD II code scanners - I can send you one to tackle this job on your own. It'll retrieve the code, you can search the code online, and then use the scanner to clear the CEL, and turn that bastard off. I can talk you through any repairs, too. Depending on what pops up as a code, it might lead to something else causing it. Example, leaking intake manifold gasket will cause a P030X code, indicating a specific cylinder misfire. It won't necessarily be a bad plug, or something with the ignition system causing that misfire, and you gotta backtrack to find out what's going on. Most things are easy, but some are a huge pain in the ass. <dontknow> Let me know, and I'll get the scanner in the mail to you. You can grab the specific code(s) here, once you retrieve them: http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/

Wanted to hang that on the front gate at the girlfriends house in Washington - house in the middle of 5 acres. My friends knew that poop was real, with what was on-hand. <thumbsup> ;D

;D Here's a big version of it for ya, brother. Suitable for blowing up into a poster, and hanging on your front fence. <thumbsup>

Check out Fulton Armory, and see what theyve got available right now - I know they're making a bunch more barrel profiles now, than they had available in the past. Great stuff, too. ADCO could tackle something like that, but I wouldn't have too many more places do it. Reprofiling the barrel for a gas block in the new position would be a PITA...

In your poll that you posted, define the second poll choice that you posted. What are you looking for in that buffer, and what is your weapon configuration right now? Reason I ask is because the "H2" buffer is for the AR-15. I'm trying to see where you want to go here, with your .308, and what you're really looking for. The H2 AR-15 buffer is something you can't even use in your .308 AR.

And right now, Barrett is only doing the M98B in .338 LM. Bolt. I'm so Danger Close on that thing that's it's not even funny. :o

I've witnessed this in person, with rounds in-hand, and the .338 LM is my obsession. :o Thanks for reminding me. Again. :-[

I still haven't even heard of where the "new" Bushmaster is relocating to, let alone when they'll start producing. <dontknow> Windham Weaponry will probably be able to get you one of these before "Bushmaster" will. Hate to say that, but all the tooling, machinery, and dies are still right there, in Windham, Maine, at the original location. :-[

Something to take away from that, a quote from the guy that had to fire: "Just be prepared, at any point in time, because you never know when it's going to happen." Amen. I carry everyday, whenever I'm not physically inside my house. <thumbsup> I've got range cards for every avenue of approach TO my house, too. Believe that. :o

Tell you what, man - as soon as you put up a vid of you dumping one of your favorite rifles in the water, mud & sand & see if it works, I'll do the exact same to this rifle - and see if it still works with the heavy CWS config. <thumbsup> The objective of this all was based on a question from Jgun - does the added weight affect being able to fire it fast? Or does the added weight (and slower carrier speed) affect that in a negative manner? I can definitely say that the added weight doesn't affect being able to fire it 0.10 second slower than a lighter gun with an H3 buffer in it, when I've got two other contributing factors that are applied to that difference in speed - total gun weight, and a heavier trigger. <dontknow> Just to test this even further, I'll just put the CWS in the lighter gun next time, and see how I come out. I'll run that same gun with the H3, then I'll replace the H3 with the Spike's T2 and the heavy config of the CWS, and see what the times are. That was the original question anyway - not whether I can dunk-test a DI gun and see if it comes out like the H&K 416 demo vids.

This one? Only reason I ask is because I google "Sig DMR" and everything takes me to the 5.56 version. <dontknow> The .308 is a sweet looking rifle. I'm still OBR-fickle if I'd have to buy one complete, but this is a nice looking stick, right here.

Well, setting it up to recoil like a .22LR definitely wasn't the objective - just adding the 0.080" length to the BCG was the objective, so I wouldn't continue to eat the edges of the buffer. Testing it, with the different inserts was just a (surprising) experiment, with a couple nice benefits. It runs on PMC Bronze for range ammo, and it doesn't even hiccup in the least with the 68 and 69gr match ammo that I typically shoot through it. This configuration of gun is what I wanted to build that I could do just about anything with - short range, medium range, a little bit more. Not too heavy, but not light, 1x4 optic. It's not meant to excel at any one aspect, but kind do anything well. If it got to the point where it was packed with mud and gunk, I'd do a field strip and quick cleaning on it, just like all my issued military carbines and rifles, and I'd do that before I needed to use it out there. If I get into some cold weather, and it doesn't cycle, I can always just pull that tungsten insert right out, and it'll cycle fine. <thumbsup>
