Now, @BrianK - get to this one... When does this shiit separate?

I've been reloading for a very long time, Brian. I've never seen anything like this in a 300BLK with a .224 inserted projectile, ever. So, in light of that, and your definite lack of an explanation, or a picture of what you're doing - understand that.

This? If that's the answer, and it's yes, then what barrel are you shooting this through? When does this shiit separate? In flight?

If they're saying this now, then previous rulings/decisions are gonna bite them in the ass, pretty hard. They approved cane tips on the end of the pistol extension over a decade ago. This is gonna go miserably for them.

I know you laughed when you read that...

You're my happy ending, brother - just having you out here makes me laugh, smile, fucking CRY... You bring out all the emotions...

Yep, that's it, brother! If some of the shiit you put into your rifle has it's OWN shiit going on?... Suspect Foul Play. Move to less complicated parts.

Help me understand this. You're taking 300BLK cases (shortened 5.56 case, from start, technically a 7.62x35 case), and then necking those 300BLK cases down to .224? Basically a barrel chambered for 300BLK, but bored for .224?

^^^ What he said. Here's what's on Sprinco's website: Extra Extra Power Buffer Spring. The Orange spring is much stouter than the Red spring. The Orange buffer spring was originally engineered for the demands presented by.308 / 6.5 CM / .260 Rem, etc., heavy BCG carbine DPMS Pattern applications using standard 7" Depth M4 extension tubes and short 2.5" buffers (Including aftermarket "heavy buffers") in robustly gassed 16” - 18” ML gas carbine platforms, but has been proven to be a requirement for tuning over gassed carbines of any equivalent heavy calibers in AR-10 pattern tubes with 3.25" buffers or lesser calibers (5.56, etc.). Color Coded ORANGE. Nobody else on the market makes a spring specifically for the 7" receiver extensions and short 2.500" buffers for the large frames. EA-1095 and the Sprinco Red are direct equivalents, and function great in large frame rifle recoil systems, and carbine systems with the 7 5/8" internal depth carbine extensions running 3.250" buffers, as well as running in the rifle recoil extensions (9 11/16" internal) running 5.200" long large-frame rifle buffers. Sprinco Red works great in my 9mm PCC, too. 7.000" internal carbine extension, Sprike's 8oz longass pistol buffer. I haven't tried the EA-1095 in it yet, but I will. Just to confirm it. Right now, it eats anything you throw in it, suppressed or unsuppressed.

The .300BLK case, with a .224 projectile... That's called .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO. That's exactly what it is. WTF are you doing here?

It's MPI and HP. Not MP. Magnetic Particle Inspected, AFTER firing a High Pressure round - HP - a "proof load". That does not indicate a manufacturer, it's just proof that it's tested for MPI after HP - if it's even done. Lots of manufacturers pay for that process, and mark their bolts as such. It's also not done on every bolt in the batch, for alot of manufacturers - that's what "batch testing" is about in this industry. They might test 2 out of 100, 47 out of 50 - you don't know unless you contact them directly and ask. Closest I can find, and they cut off the MPI to MP...

My sentiments, exactly. That good-not good-good again - now it's illegal... That already kicked them straight in the dick. Then, West Virginia Vs. EPA happened... And that changed everything for these .gov agencies. If WVa vs EPA is never overturned - then that's forever...

I'm telling you, in Afghaniland November 2003, 2/75 deployment - we were on a refit back at a mountain base, and it was him and another dude with guitars in a mud hut, singing about alien ass-ravage... I seriously need to meet him, and ask him about that...

I wanna buy that book... I can only imagine...

Man, I'm just glad the gun is running. Seriously. This is a science now, on how to fix these things, and apply the proper parts to do so. I wish more people knew this, and more people applied it. I thank YOU for applying it, and making your gun run. I sincerely mean that.

Toolcraft is is biggest supplier to OEMs. Back in the day CMT was the biggest supplier to OEMs on 5.56 stuff. Continental Machine Tool. One of the companies under CMT was Stag Arms. Dad owned CMT, son owned Stag. That's different now. White Wolf Capital. Here's a rundown on that stuff: This all went down around the timeframe that Aero "started using their own BCGS" in their guns, rather than using ToolCraft BCGs. Makes sense, connecting the dots.

Just reading through this a little. DPMS. There is no such thing as "Gen 1" - ever. There's the DPMS LR-308. It's not "Gen 1" or "Gen anything" It's the DPMS LR-308 model. Comes in many configurations and flavors. DPMS decided to "shrink the receivers" and devised a way to make a .308 Win (large frame) platform with smaller receivers, smaller in many areas, and touted that it would work with any AR15 handguard. That was the DPMS G II platform. It's not a "Gen 2", it's the DPMS G II platform. Not enough information out there about this, and I wish it was prolific and rampant, across the message-board planet - but not enough people understand it, and put out a metric shiit-ton of misinformation on it. There's my $0.02 so far...

You have valid points, brother. You also have a Mile Gun, very easily. You know that. Fuk, we can Mile it with the Win Mag parts. We'll Mile it with the .338 stuff first, though...

DAMN! I didn't know the thing cost that much!

Yeah, I care. You're not about listening, just talking. haha Fix the project you're working on now, show me you're serious. Otherwise, don't contact me about your mile gun dream. Shoot this one first, make hits at 1100, beyond transonic, make it win. Come back, show results. haha

You can piece it together yourself, if you know what specific individual parts you're looking for, and want to spend more money. Or, you can shortcut that process, get one part number for one price, from one company that doesn't fuk it up, ever. That includes the recoil system that you really need to make the gun run right. Your call.

There's only ONE PLACE to start testing an adjustable gas block. Wide Open. Nothing less. You have alot to learn, so Brace Yourself.

The best recoil system was the very first reply that you received, in this thread. You need to go back and read the first reply you got in this one. There's really not 2 or 3 good options - there's one option, to do it right for this platform. Especially for a .308 WIn gun. It's already figured out and proven, over decades.

Well, there's very few things that are gonna give you hits at 2500 yards, but I'm glad you have that kind of distance - it's a gift to use, I know well. You need to start with 375 Chey Tac to make that a reality, if 2500 might really be the goal sometime. I don't even think .338 Lapua will do it, with regularity, at 2500. That's some serious distance. I shoot .300 Win Mag at a mile. 1760 yards. Custom handloaded ammo, Do it routinely, and several people here have both seen it being done, and done it themselves. That ain't easy, at an IPSC plate target that's 18" wide and 32" tall. That's not even 1 MOA wide at a mile, when you run the math on what 1 MOA really is. 1.047" at 100. .308 Win is never gonna get half way to 2500 yards, accurately, no matter how you load it yourself. My very best .308 Win handload is a really kickass load, Hornady 178 ELD-X - the very best .308 Win projectile they make - and that thing dips into the transonic barrier after 1050 yards. By 1100 yards, it's already subsonic. And tumbling. Let's get a real estimate on what you think this gun will do for you, and what you expect of it, and then we can get serious about giving you recommendations. Or not. Up to you. We really do shoot Long Range here, and it's no bullshiit. Long Range isn't 600 yards, or 800 yards, or 1k yards - that's a warm up, here, for about 26 people that are on this board as members. Next up, this March - we're setting up 2,000 yards, and testing our Mile Guns that are known to hit the Mile, on the 2k target. Shouldn't be that hard to coax another 240 yards out of them, right?...
