I'll be happy when you shoot it and it works. Until then, my math is a mystery. You shooting it and it works - tells me my math works...

That's pretty damn cool. The traction that this place gets surprises me, but it shouldn't, really. We fix broken guns. That's just what we do here. I love seeing the sources that the recommendations come from. Helps me understand the reach that this forum really has.

^^^ For that above, @jtallen83 can back me up on this. 75th RGR Rgt RSOP. Raid SOP. Assault force assaults THROUGH the objective, all the way out the other side of the objective. If anything is moving or wiggling whilst assaulting through the objective, it gets shot again, and again, on the way through the objective. Once you move THROUGH the objective, you establish security, and you move the aid and litter teams back into the objective, to check all personnel. Every single body gets check for boobytraps, by a 2-man team, before you render any aid to anything still alive. The objective of a raid isn't leaving bad people alive - just getting the good ones out, unhurt.

This is EXACTLY what the Combat Pistol training plan is about. Shoot until there IS NO THREAT. Anymore. If it wiggles, it gets more, until it don't wiggle, no more. THAT is when the threat "isn't a threat anymore..."

This is the kicker, right here...

So, we're comparing the exact same hole in the barrel, as the .260 Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor both shoot .264" diameter projectiles. On my .260 Rem, 20" rifle gas, 0.750" journal diameter, the first barrel shipped with a 0.070" gas port diameter. It was too small, and had to be at 0.080" to run correctly. I found that out and fixed it. The second .260 barrel I got from them, identical dimensions, shipped with a 0.075"ish port. I drilled it to 0.080" before I put that upper together. So, on yours, two things changed, that affect proper gas port sizing, over what I have. Both are shooting .264" projectiles, but you're have a 0.875" journal, and a 22" barrel. When you go up in journal size, you go down in port diameter. It's almost 0.005" per journal change (there are 4 common sizes, 0.625", 0.750", 0.875" and 0.936"). The change here, from known, is up to 0.875" from 0.750" Take that 0.080" that works on mine, and drop 0.005" from it to make it work with your journal diameter. Somewhere around 0.075" solves that part. Next, dwell time. You and I have the same gas system, rifle gas. I have a 20" barrel, you have a 22" barrel. You have increased dwell time over what I have, because there's more barrel after the gas port, to affect dwell time. Every 2" of barrel, when dwell time goes up, gas port comes down. If dwell time went DOWN, gas port would go up. It's in 0.005" increments (roughly). Example - if I was moving to an identical barrel on my .260, but got rid of the 20" and went with an 18" instead - all other details remaining the same - I'd have to have a gas port up from the original 0.080", and need something around 0.085". So, on your barrel, we already know it needs to be around 0.075" just for the change in gas block journal size. It needs to go down another 0.005" for the 2" increase in dwell time. Bottom line: You will need a gas port diameter around 0.070" for that barrel config to run properly... Which is about what you have right now...

It's right here - you're right, it's gas port diameter. 18" rifle gas with a 0.750" journal size needs 0.093"~0.096" to run right. What you have now, at 0.086" is just barely on the high side to make an 18" midlength gas barrel run, with a 0.0750" journal. There's alot less dwell time over the midlength, using the rifle length, so you need more gas port diameter to make up for that.

I have a match in the morning, but I'll get back to this. I'll run the math on your gas port, compared to my .260 Rem 20" gun. 20" rifle gas .260 Rem with a gas block journal size of 0.750" needs to be 0.080" to run right, with the proper recoil system in it. <<< that part is key, right there. Proper recoil system. I'll get back to this.

WTF. I'm getting gear ready for another match in the morning, and I find this...

This is Kim, I think he may be rethinking for a second.. Snap that!! Too bad he had a great night of sleeping under the stars. LOL even better when he breaks it to everyone. Well, KIM's back. LMAO

This is Kim, she did do him a favor. Damn I was so happy for him.. After the fact.... I'm like damn girl... But, I guess... Good for me considering I was moving to VA in two years. I was giving Tom all my unneeded house goods to help with shoots... Guess I wont be leaving now! I'm the next catch. Thankfully I am in a position now that its ok. No, second or third job to keep my house afloat with my kids. Thank you forced retirement of my cleaning business on weekends.

This is Kim, explains why he can't hear me.... Dude is deaf as fuk... guess i need to get him a walker soon too...

Uh, that's my very dear friend, and you shall speak of him on non OTHER than REVERANT TONE. That is YOU, fucker...

So, here's Kimmy, again... I'll keep her - this is me, realizing that "I'm STUCK!"

She will reap what she sowed, brother, and she was coerced by a complete shiitbag that I thought was my friend - that's the part that hurts most. Fucked over by a friend, that used my information, time and time again, over time, throughout this, and twisted it and worked all that in his favor, just to drop panties. I can't even describe how I feel about that, accurately. I hope I never see that motherfucker face to face again. If he thinks he's pretty, he won't be, no more. That fuckbag is on my permanent "No Fly List" forever. Karma is already catching up to him, and it's well deserved. He will get wrecked by the wife he currently has. If my Karma reaches him, he's over.

Post the details. As Louder with Crowder says, "Change my mind..."

Crenshaw already gave his eye for his country, as a SEAL. He's already done it. I'd say he's given enough for his country already. Just my opinion.

I beg to differ, brother. Pat Tillman did it, and so did his brother. Both went to 2d Ranger Bn, and into combat, for their country.

I didn't even know that Hogue made knives until I started working with Jesse Rooke in 2016. He knew one of the super high-ups in Hogue, with the last name of Hogue, and brought him over to the shop several times. We had all the Hogue Knives catalogs, and if we wanted something, we'd tell Jesse, and it would be there at the shop in a few days. We'd just pay Jesse for the knives. We got them stupid-cheap. RIP, brother - wish you were still around. Not for knives, just for you, man.

Love me some Hogue knives, brother!

@Moon Boots, I figured you should see this from me, since you're still a member here. I don't talk poop behind someone's back, but I sure will face-to-face, and I'll always tell it how it is, I never wander from that. I never deviate from my morales and convictions. I am solid, in that. I have principles, morals, honestly, and I live by my word. Your new man doesn't have that, seeing how he's cheating on his wife of 20+ years with you. After buying hookers for years on end, whilst with her. You're just a free hooker to him, nothing more than Pu$sy that he doesn't have to shell out money for. You're a bargain for him, and he doesn't have to spend money on your ass that he gets. He spent big on the hookers he paid before - while he's married to 20+ years. You are the bonus - free Pu$sy. I quoted you in this so you know exactly what I'm saying about you. You'll receive an email knowing that I quoted this, right here. You can read it if you want, or you can run, or, you can talk more shiit. Your choice. Get the game on, whatever your choice. Hope things are going well with you and DirtBike Tommy. I already know that they're not... You made that bed, and banged that shiitbag, that's only looking for pu$sy, so your life is "unstable" right now. And that's on you... and only you... Sweet dreams... You blew this one, and I would have made you happy forever. You are the one that fucked that up...

HELL YEAH!!! THAT BIOTCH RIGHT THERE is my backup fixed blade, that's always on the bag - that's always on ME. Fuk, I'm so damn happy right now, brother... This fuckin' ROCKS, seeing this...

Bad situation with a fake chick - and an even more fucked up "buddy" that I thought was a real friend, for several years now. If I ever see that POS again face to face, I'll choke him out where he stands. When he hits the ground, he won't even know what happened in the first place. She's just as much a POS as he is, for the games she played along the way. Is what it is. I'm better off, and dodged a giant bullet, in the long run. Just sucked to go through it, thinking she was really all that. Glad I found out, but sucks to find out the way I did. Shows you who your friends really are - and I'm blessed finding that out.
