I HATE being "Captain Obvious" to other people, in other industries, that think they know better - and don't have any gun experience whatsoever. Any "burr" in a hydraulic line feeding a transmission on a military helicopter - could be catastrophic. Guns aren't helicopters. Guns aren't Jets. Guns aren't piston-driven airplanes. "Airline Professionals" don't know what the fuk is happening in a gun - when it goes bang. Don't give a fuk what their own professional "A&P Certs" declare them as. Guns are guns. I hate outsider-information, from "professionals in other fields" - that don't know the first thing about how guns work. They aren't cars, trucks, airplanes, space shuttles, or thermo-nuclear reactors. They're just guns. They're pretty fucking simple, in the long game. All these other people in "their own long game" try to apply their own shiit to guns - and it just doesn't work. It's comparing Apples to Hammers. They're insignificant - in the long game. Those opinons. They don't ahve real-world experience in guns? Well, Bye. Go FIND that experience. reload some ammo, shoot it, tell me what you find out - jet mechanic. Those people need to stick to "their fields," and stay the fuk out of gun conversations. They don't have a clue, in the first place. This is all JMHO...

Written bank checks clear digitally now, and have for a long time, now... Your bank Routing Number, and your Account Number - transmitted digitally. THAT is how a "check" clears instantly. That's why there are bar codes on your paper checks, that you write. They already have the information - it's already a done deal - digitally. Write that check... Think you're "getting around the system" - you're not. Welcome to the real world. The digital world. Paper checks, written - same as swiping your card.

KAK shocked me with a 12.5" 5.56 midlength barreled build. Thought the gas port was crazy-small, when I got it - and I was WRONG. That little fuqr run like a champ, zero modifications needed. It just runs. Run the gun you built - try it out. See what you get. If something weird comes up in operation, let us know. It's solvable. I'm impressed with the KAK barrels. They have .gov contracts, as an aside - they don't just fuq around with .civ sales and parts. They're the real deal.

They'll have a list... That's their plan. Their ONLY plan.

Reminds me of a line from this movie... Ron, "You're in God's hands now..." Make the call... I know you hate it, but talk to a Human, on the phone...

Phone 623-780-1050 It's in your hands now...

@Rsquared - call them. Here it is. https://www.armalite.com/SACItem.aspx?Item=15901015 You can blow me later...

For the Fall Shoot. Needed it for a long time, anyway. PIstol-heavy, men. We're pistol-heavy.

Calling Pat Raley... Pat, come in. We need you. You're the only one that can save us now. Raley, are you out there?... @mrraley

Lesson 65b... There are very few Rules here (The Rule)... But, there are Lessons. You snooze, You lose... Is Lesson 65b.

I like this update, man...

Horror Show. Because of this dictator: Hochul signs new gun control laws after Buffalo, Texas mass shootings https://nypost.com/2022/06/06/gov-hochul-signing-new-gun-control-laws-after-recent-massacres/

It's going to smooth out the first time you send the first round through it. This isn't an aircraft - it's a gun barrel. Let him know that.

This is getting interesting.

Glad they're gone, @Cliff R. Right now in THIS world that we've been forced to live through, we need LESS people like that. Good Riddance. P.S. Good to see you back here, brother.

They almost made it. Almost. But, yet again, it's another non-fuctional barrel from the factory. Nope. ^^^ What he said. I prefer 18" rifle gas barrels with 0.750" journals around 0.097" or 0.098", with a 0.096" minimum for GREAT factory-loaded match ammo. You'll be fine at 0.935", and the gun will run. Once it's running - it will shoot so damn good... The accuracy of their gas-gun barrels is amazing.

I can completely vouch for this statement. I've received some of the prepped/cleaned cases, and they look like brand new brass.

18" (.308 Win) rifle gas barrel with a 0.750" journal diameter will need a gas port diameter that's around 0.096". With your 0.875" journal diameter, you can drop 0.005" off that number. You should see a gas port diameter that's 0.090" minimum.

^^^ Truth...

What references are you using for your loads?

Same here. The story at SHOT '20 was $1400 will get you this, if you're in on the Intro: That didn't happen. I get it - La Corona fucked everything up. However... I'm not in for $2900.

Just for comparison, brother - so people can see what the machinguns do to brass...

Looks GREAT, man! Well done.

101, man... That's amazing. I hope I can do that.
