NICE FIND!!!

Okay. I never did like this rifle. Only gun I ever considered selling, just because the only "purpose" it had was to beat the price of the BCM Haley Jack gun. I beat that in spades. But, that was the only purpose I really had for building this gun in the first place. I never really shot it. It ended up with a 1~6 scope, that I pulled off it for the .338 Fed gun. I raided a charging handle out it if for something, and the trigger... I liked it, but just didn't like it, if that makes sense. Well... that motherfucker is in a WHOLE NEW WORLD right now... I had to find this topic, just to Necro it 8 years later... Swapped in a BA Cro-Mo 18" SPR barrel, popped in a LaRue trigger, "found" an original BCM VLTOR large-latch charging handle buried in the gunsafe, and popped on a temporary optic (until I can get another one from PA, and another LT-158 mount from LaRue). This is a BAD BITCH now. 5.56 Fury. All the sudden, I love this gun, like I hated it before. 180* turn on this fucker...

Gas port diameter on an 18" rifle-gas .308 Win gun with a 0.750" gas block journal size needs to be 0.093"~0.096".

I live this every single day. They bring me old shiit, never maintained, ranch stuff... and wonder why there's a 1.5 hr charge for "broken bolt extraction" on their bill - because YOU NEGLECTED IT, is why. I run straight labor for fucked up parts on old rigs. Straight-time, is what those get. If it took me 0.78 hrs to get that fucker out, you pay 0.78 hours of my time. If it took me 1.27 hours - that's your bill, too. Bring me old, neglected shiit, and that's not my fault. You'll pay what it takes - and I'll charge you what it takes. I won't fuk you - you'll see my labor clock-in time, and clock-out time for that. You can't argue that. I make your fucked up hardware a separate job-line, when I'm dealing with your broken shiit. Fight that if you must, but you won't win... Oh, and I always call you first, and let you know what I'm dealing with - you KNOW...

They should. Post a pic of the gas key on the BCG of your Stag, with one of those AR15 gas keys right in front of it. That will answer the question right away.

For the gas-operated guns, they're all the same. Minus Armalite AR-10 gas keys. We've posted on those before in a thread here. Piston gun are a different animal, and dependent on the manufacturer.

One important detail skipped in your post, and an important one. What's the gas system length? You nailed everything else, recoil system, all the other details. Gas port diameter. What's the gas system on this gun? It's either mid-length, or rifle-length. That info right there will give me the information that I need to inform you on gas port diameter. EDIT - for adjustable gas blocks, you ALWAYS start with those things WIDE OPEN, maxed the fuk out on adjustment. If you don't, you'll never know if the gas port diameter is large enough in the first place. My $0.02 on adjustable gas blocks. I don't own one, and never will, suppressor or not.

I love Crispy, brother - thank you for posting that. Met him a couple years ago at SHOT, at the bar on the range. One hell of an impressive guy.

Pretty impressive spread... Aircraft carrier, sucked into an A6 Intruder...

I should be dead already...

Sorry to hear this, brother. I hate the decision, when you have to put a pet down. It sucks.

That's my go-to for 300BLK. Welcome aboard, in a year-ago thread. Hit the Intro Section, man, glad you're here.

Will these guys here be happy if we pull this at 775 yards? Or do we really need to go to the off-set site, the Long Range site, and set something up at 1k yards for them? I think we can pull this at the 609, and the new 775, and be just fine - with pistols. If we hafta go 1k... Well then...

Hit it this morning with Kimmy and @JBMatt. GunPusher John had the idea, and said he wanted to get out there at 9am. Me and Matt were there, John showed up closer to 11am... Matt did some more work on 6 ARC loads that he's working on, for @Matt.Cross's Mk12 6 ARC gun. I took some long guns today, but ended up shooting pistol-only. 19X with the Timney Alpha trigger. Whenever you see @JBMatt shooting off a table, it's worth it to see what he's doing. His load development schedule is unreal. He's putting in work, right here. I'm working that pistol stuff at 7 and 11 yards, right here. Spotting Matt... SDTF can't be rivaled. Nothing like it. Kimmy in the neck brace. The neck brace is HAWT!... My 5-yard pistol drill. Had to try it with this new trigger. Target at 5 yards, steel preferred, so you get immediate feedback. Shoot 5 yards, turn, walk 5 full steps back away from the target, turn towards target and draw and shoot again. Keep going until you miss. I went 58.3 yards today for hits, and missed on 63.8 yards (lasered last hit and first miss). at 5 yards each, that works out, because here's the 12 hits, one at each 5-yard distance. Not a bad group, considering the increasing distance. Know your holds, men. Parting shot for the day - here's @JBMatt bagging a G17, and hitting a big rock at 400 yards. YES, he has the hold down for this. Don't fuk with him and think you can challenge him at this game... You will NOT win this challenge...

I went Dawson Precision suppressor-height sights on my 17, and they're perfect for the optic. I'm running the Holosun, which is the same height as your SRO. Little more money than the others, but they're perfect on that gun.

Call them on the phone. Never had an issue. Clymer gauges just came up recently. Ask BA what gauges they use. Go rip up the Intro Section, and tell us about yourself. It's right here: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/

Update on this Wilson Combat .260 Rem barrel - I fitted it to an Aero M5 upper at the gun shop today, and checked gas port location with a regular AR15 rifle-length gas tube... It's short. As Fuk. Barely gets into the front of the cam pin cutout. It still needs the Armalite AR-10 Rifle gas tube to be right. I'll get that coming, or go visit/call Armalite, and get it on the way. I knew that was going to be the case, just knew it. Wilson Combat hasn't learned the "gas port LOCATION" rule yet... They make badass, super-accurate barrels. They just need to do the rest of it, and make them perfect already...

Went by GunPusher John's shop today, like a normal Saturday, and helped him close down on time. He closes at 3pm. At 2:45, I remembered to show him the 19X with this trigger, and wouldn't tell him what it was. He liked it, alot. When I told him what it was, he says, "Shiit, I have a customer that brought me one to put in his G34!..." Gimme that thing, brother, I'll put it in right now, before you close. I had that sucker in there in 15 minutes. You're gonna love that trigger, brother.

I can't wait to shoot this setup, brother!

Mike, I didn't look close enough on the website, but does it list the bullet weight and muzzle velocity for that 500 AutoMax? If you can get those numbers and post them here, I can run some math on the energy of the cartridge at distance. EDIT - they had links to ammo on their website... All of the MV numbers below must be from the 18" barrel that the company offers... 500 AUTO MAX (buffalobore.com) 440 gr Hard Cast 1,900 fps/ME 3,526 ft lbs 400 gr JFN 2,050 fps/ME 3,732 ft lbs 350 gr JHP 2,300 fps/ME 4,110 ft lbs

For big bores in a large-frame AR, I have a .338 Federal with a 16" barrel, and a .358 Winchester with a 16" barrel. Both barrels are from Wilson Combat. That .338 Fed hits hard as hell, compared to a .308 Win cartridge. I haven't even shot the .358 Win yet because I haven't made the plunge to buy ammo that costs too much right now, and I haven't necked up any .308 cases yet. I did get a box of projectiles last week, so that will be happening soon. I'll keep this thread updated. For the .338, I load up Hornady 225gr SSTs, and they run great. On the .358, I'm trying out the Hornady 250gr SP-RP Interlock projectiles.

Tequila is the answer to that riddle, my brother. It's either Wild Jungle Monkey Sex, or someone's getting the shiit beat out of them. There's that magical combination of a night, when it's both...

Dropping one on San Fran might be the best idea yet. IMHO...
