SO, the title of this match was "Christmas is over - Get out of the house!" The match is always the 4th Saturday of the month - because sometimes there are 5 Saturdays in a month. It's unsafe to assume that "it's the LAST Saturday of the month..." because it might not be. Because the 4th Saturday of the month, this month, was actually Christmas Day, they held this one on Sunday, 26 Dec 21. The course this month wasn't easy. It looked easy on paper, but we did have some wind. Can you deal with wind? We start Stage 4, hit 5, 1, 2, 3... On our Stage 3 we had a solid 6-7mph wind, directly left to right for the targets, with an exposed target on the ridgeline (sky behind it, no calling any splash - it isn't there - it's air...) at 460 yards. Corked it first shot when I got to it, then move, re-engage same target in reverse firing order, corked it first hit again... I was on a mission this month. Fuk-around time is over, after how shiitty I shot in October. Here's the course layout - if you click them enough, they get big enough to actually read. Click away. This month, in our own squad, there wasn't ANYTHING getting into my head during this match. No fuckin' way. I ran a CLINIC on going after this course, and I shot this fucker very well. I had a mission inside my head, and nothing was getting in the way of that. And I did it. I didn't take any pics this match, because I was either running the timer, or running the scorepad, or showing someone how to run the timer or scorepad - or being late to the line when it was my time to shoot, because of that. But, I layed it down, when I went up there. The only pics I have were from someone else. Stage 5: Stage 3: Here's the old Cow Town buildings, that are the backdrop of where we shoot. We started Stage 4, signed up in Squad 4, and I cleaned Stages 4, 5, and 2, the timed tie-breaker stage - the REALLY important one. I missed 3 out of 10 total on Stage 1, and I was PISSED OFF about the douche fucking PRS guy with his fucking tripod RIGHT IN BETWEEN the two positions that I had to move to, when I got up to move, and kicked the fuk out of his tripod that was in the way - THAT REALLY pissed me off. Didn't say anything, nothing. He still didn't learn, and his fucking tripod was in the way on another shooter after me, and when that guy cleared position one, I was waiting, and YANKED that fucking tripod out of the way when the guy started moving. That was the only point I wanted to make. It just wasn't the dickhead tripod owner on his own glass at the time - but he was watching. Someone else was spotting through his shiit when I did that. That fucked me up, when I did it, and I wasn't happy. Didn't let it get to me though, drive on. "You do you, Tom-Ass, and get over it - go clean Stage 2, the timed tie-breaker, because you're fucked if you don't clean it..." Roger that. Stage 3, I shot 9 out of 12, and wasn't disappointed at all - that was a tough stage. I nailed all the important shiit, because I was breathing, moving "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" and just ran out of time. I got the tough ones, more than most people in the squad. Overall, I had something in my mind that I needed to do Sunday, and I did it.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but there's a very, VERY small range of "leeway" in making a large frame AR that actually runs, and one that's a complete shiitpile and doesn't run. There's a very small range on how large the gas port should be. There's a very small range on the recoil spring dimensions. There's a very small range on buffer weight. There's NO RANGE on the internal depth of the receiver extension. The gas tube should be a certain length. When one company can manage to fuk ALL that up in a rifle - they need to go back to the drawing board.

It is. Regular old DPMS LR-308 lower receiver. I'll find a regular LR-308 flat top upper somewhere tonight and link it in here.

I'll buy you a cleaning kit first! Badass one, too! Don't send me those nasty things...

Sorry to create so much work for you, brother!... I read that section for something, and found so much bullshiit in there, I snapped. Again.

Cool, he hasn't been back since a week after he initially posted, anyway, but at least his garbage isn't plugging up that section...

Hey, hey, hey now. You need us to fuk one of those brothers up - or both - you just say the word. I'm just sayin'...

Not a big deal - every single military Mk 12 is like that, for a reason, and it's never a hindrance in any way. I wouldn't change that gun you have, man, for anything.

It's Cristmas Eve, and I'm feeling Grinch-ish. Let's get this moved out of this section, that is for information, and get this guy's QUESTION moved to the build section, of something - it doesn't belong here, in this section.

As Christmas Eve is upon is, I'm cleaning my Mk12 Mod 1 getting it ready for a match on Sunday. Lots of time to think, whilst doing that, because gun cleaning really is easy... Ron... I think about the friends here, and what I'm thankful for in life, and it comes back to people like all of you. You are all real family, and to those that have made the trek out here to shoot - I think about you all at this time on the calendar. You forged a place in my heart, just through friendship, and I love you all, like true family members. Shiit, even more than some of my own family members... Tomorrow will be busy for everyone here, and we might not get the time to check in, so I wanted to say this now... I can't thank you all enough for the friendship, laughs, chaos, and camaraderie through the years. I may not have the time to call you or contact you tomorrow, or maybe not even check in here, but know that you're in my thoughts on Christmas Day, and I love you all. Some more than others, or course, but still... Thank you all, for being you, and being honest and real. You As$holes amaze me, and I'm thankful for you. Love, Tom-Ass

Wouldn't change a thing - that particular gas system is perfect...

They swell (to chamber size, fire-formed), then contract. All that Armalite Gas is making that BCG move and that bolt unlock...

THAT IS FUCKED UP!!!

Smart packing, right there, brother.

I don't think so. It's ejecting cases that are shot from the gun - just hard to extract the ones that haven't been fired.

Let's see how this goes...

I think this is the way to go in this case. Get some Flitz all over a bore mop, chuck that thing up in the drill, and polished that chamber a little bit.

I'm not saying that they all come from Aero perfect. What I am saying is that I've never lapped an M5 upper, not once, and never needed to to get it to shoot great. I have 5 or 6 of these things, and they all shoot great. Never had a need to take them apart because they won't shoot, and then find that I needed to lap it...

Damn that was a 4-phase operation. Initial contact, the hit car, the cleaner car, and the follow-up by the dudes that came back and smoked all the dead bodies. Again. Those fuckers planned that OUT...

Dude, the dark blue pilot car swooped in, high beams on, that was the signal for that fat older guy in the yellow shirt to go inside, the other red car rips up the street from the other direction, shoots them all outside, and the medium blue car was pulling out by the dark blue car that pulled in, to clean up everything. Those thuggish had their shiit wired.
