Same base diameter on both. Don't have to cut the .45 ACP down at all, though. Worked like a champ, too.

You see Kimmy in the moonlight pic? I didn't catch this before, and it skeered me. I wake up in the middle of the night with her looking at me, like this, and it freaks me out...

MOAR pics...

Minimum on your gas port diameter, for the barrel config that you have, is gonna be 0.080". Minimum. Have you measured your gas port diameter yet? If you have, and you've posted it, I missed it - had a pretty busy weekend last weekend, so my apologies in advance. This is the barrel that you have, and they - for some reason - do not state the gas block journal size in this page: https://www.odinworks.com/6-5mm-Creedmoor-Barrel-p/b-6.5cm-22-2r-tg.htm It is Rifle Gas +2", directly stated. If I look on that page for their "upgrades" - they include a lo-pro gasblock, and that's listed at 0.750 diameter. Please verify that your gas block journal size is 0.750".

^^^ This right here is exactly what I'm talking about. It that receiver extension is truly 7 3/4" internal depth, it's out of spec. It should be 7 5/8" internal depth. What's an 1/8"? 0.125". What's the thickness of a quarter? 0.069". If that extension is truly 7 3/4" deep, then stick 2 quarters down the back of it before you put in the spring and buffer. That's as close to "right" as you can make it, that way.

That's directly backwards. Why are you doing this?

^^^ That's gonna be the way I go out - with YOU a$sholes...

Doesn't matter, brother - that you made the trek again is what matters. You're an integral part of this, and have been for a long time. Your desire to come here and do this feeds the desire to keep doing this - to be around friends. Last couple years, you've been able to make it back again - and you're loved. As it should be - you need to be revered like the old-skool OG bastards, and you are. Everyone out here loves you. Don't stop. You know why - Nobody likes a quitter... Much love, brother. More than you know. 🥰

I JUST planted that back foot, too - to get FREAKY! And I was outta ammo. Sad Panda... I usually have enough back-meat to control some shiit like that, but not with a lightass .308AR throwing it that fast... It's almost worse than shouldering a 240, which kicks your ass, and it's heavy AF. Because it's still .308 Win, and it's WAY LIGHTER than a 240, it's even worse. So it beats your ass into oblivion. I wanna run 20 or 25 rounds through that bitch again, and I'll be ready already... I see no downside - it's pure heaven. That fukkin' trigger is tons-of-lovin' in a shorter .308AR.

I doubt it, brother, in the least. I guess, load ammo, load ammo, load MORE ammo, condition your liver and kidneys daily, load MORE ammo, realize that you don't have enough ammo loaded and just say FUK IT! and load the trailer and move out, make the best of it. The only thing that's really ready is the food. We fuk around with alot of things. We don't fuk around with food. That's SERIOUS business, right there. Gratuitous full-moon, full illum, zero-camera-flash shot. I was either on @JBMatt's competition gun, or I was on @Matt.Cross's Mk12 6 ARC here...

I really like these, Rex - you crushed it, brother.

I have one of those on my 300BLK pistol that goes in the tennis racket case... You should have just asked... Prevent some mental anguish there...

.45 ACP case works the same as a cut down .308 Win case, and you don't have to cut it down. For future use, if you lose that cut-down case.

When you get it back out there, make sure you're doing the initial tests with that gas block in the wide-open setting.

The P80 frames have a 1911 grip angle. I have a couple factory Glocks, and 3 P80 builds. I do like the P80 grip angle better, but I come from 1911 roots, too.

This... is nice...

This thread is becoming just PACKED with bad information, all the way around. Correct internal depth for a real AR-10 Carbine Receiver extension is 7 5/8". Not 7 7/8" - that would be 1/4" out of spec, right there. Bad advice. Correct internal depth on a DPMS LR-308-based carbine extension would be - proper AR15 carbine receiver extension depth. The real number is 6 15/16" internal depth. The commercial, industry standard has be 7.000" internal, with no ill effects. ^^^ That's the real data, right there.

@Matt.Cross flew in on Thursday at 10am - and the flight was actually early. BONUS!!! Kim picked him up at the airport on her way here, with the kids, Rita and Ephrem. They all got to Casa De Pain, and we start talking about the day - gonna leisurely pack up and hit the dirt tonight, Thursday night. IMMEDIATE questions from Matt - "Hey, it's PREP day, where we PREP to go out there..." Well Prep to pack up and leave, brother, we're getting into the dirt tonight... We got out there at a decent time, around 4pm. Mike @blue109 was already out there, but not by much - he greeted the rolling caravan approaching him whilst standing on his roof rack, slung M4, and a beer in hand... Overwatch, for the weekend... Check. We pulled in, and started setting up, but priorities of work were getting the camper unhooked, to drive out there and set the Mile target up for Friday morning. It all happened, and while I was putting the Mile in, @JBMatt got the 450 out there. Kenny and his wife Shawn arrived, and the food-plan was lazy that night - burgers on the grill. We all ate, got settled in, and prepared for the rest of the weekend. Part 1, right there.

I'll start this one right now, anyone that was out there can start filling in. I'm still working over here, but I've got a bunch of good pics and stories to add. And some vids. Getting ready to take the camper back to RV storage now, and free-ranging after that, my last job of the weekend. @blue109 @Armed Eye Doc - feel free to jump in here and back up Scuba Steve's fine work!

Having a receiver extension that's not seated where it should be means that the back (internal) of the receiver is beyond the maximum internal depth. That's when the ears on the BCG body start slamming the ears on the lower receiver, damaging your lower receiver. Trying to avoid that right now, by fixing it now, so there's no damage to the lower, in the future.

That will work, but the entire face of the buffer needs an outer radius machined off. Buffers rotate, so just one spot won't do it. Depending on local machining costs for you, the better alternative might be that offset retainer pin. Then, you can use any buffer you need to, without machining it.

Check it - new Kid Rock. Just released, so this is the only way I can get it to you right now - hit the link... MAYBE the YT shiit works, until they ban it... https://smarturl.it/KR-WeThePeople ^^^ his webpage, in case this one below - vvv - goes down...

@Lonewolf McQuade - asking for a friend here... One of your balls is WAY BIGGER than the other one... Just curious, my friend asked...
