...until they decide that they're not gonna take it anymore. In AUS and NZ, that's not very far off, anymore. They're tired of it, in those two places, and the shiit is about to hit the fan there.

"Explain your dreams" then. You haven't done it. What "dream" do you have that this binary trigger can fulfill? Get to it - that binary trigger is your dream. Why?... What do you think it's gonna do for you?... I want to hear your reasons, why this trigger is so important to what you need to do... Let's get YOUR reason on why that trigger is so important...

Shiitcan that whole binary trigger dream. Just dump it.

Here's a mind-blower. Tu Lam. I met this guy at SHOT Show 2020. I worked with this guy, and didn't even know it, at the time, in the same unit, in early history. I was at Fort Lewis, whilst he was in Okinawa at 1/1 SFG(A). Unreal guy. almost 4.5 hours. Plan it out. This is a great interview. This guy is so badass that they made a Call Of Duty character out of him - the video game...

On the 18" .308AR barrel with rifle gas and a 0.750" gas block journal diameter, your gas port diameter HAS to be 0.093"~0.096" sized. Or, it doesn't work. Check that first, and fix that first.

You won't find a 2.500" buffer that you can get to 5.4oz, ever. The max you can get that thing is 5.3oz, with two tungsten weights, inside a stainless steel body. But that works. The Sprinco Orange spring was specifically designed for a 2.500" 5.4oz buffer, running inside a receiver extension that's only 7.000" internal depth. They made that spring, for that recoil system, for a .308AR. You can run that setup, and it'll work. I run it in my .260 Rem AR, just to prove that it works, and that gun RUNS... I did that for THIS reason. That's the ONLY .308AR that I have with that recoil system. Every other one runs the Armalite AR-10 Carbine Recoil System. My .260 is the one, though. It's the goods. So, next for you, is verifying your gas port diameter. Your gas tube position is perfect. Verify your gas port diameter. And fix your recoil system. You do that, and make sure your gas port diameter is right, and your gun will run anything you throw at it.

OH SHIIIT!!!

I'm just waiting for @Lonewolf McQuade to show up now...

Here's the very first Shawn Ryan podcast. Mike Glover. Another good one. SF guy, CIA contractor afterwards. This one runs right around 2.5 hours. Lot's of "unloading" here. Worth your time.

The Fur Missile is REAL!...

I figured that - just didn't want to mention it publicy, you know?... That's those fancy undies with the hole in the rear, right?... With matching bra...

That's not gonna stand up for too much longer, either, or there's gonna be a revolt. The Savages are sick of that shiit...

I like this - alot. Words of wisdom, right there, brother... I am. I have a defensible position, for a long, long time. If we don't want anybody in - then they're not coming in.

It's pretty - I bet it matches your purse and shoes, too...

That's the primary problem, right there. The extension is hit or miss, unless they've fixed it - I have one from them that was an internal depth of 7.100" - and that's not right. This is pure bullshiit. You don't have to have a specific Rifle-and-Rifle combo to make a gun run. However, the recoil system AND the gas system need to be balanced, to work properly. Because the gun was designed to run on a 5.4oz buffer, in order to control the Ass and the Mass of the 308AR BCG and the cycling of a .308 Winchester round. That's why. Read this:

Absolutely zero mention of your recoil system details - just parts (Luth). Solve the basics first. The recoil system and the gas system need to be balanced, and work. Spec out your recoil system, list the details. Rifle or Carbine, but INTERNAL DEPTH of your receiver extension. Nobody cares how long it is, overall, and that doesn't matter in any way. Internal Depth is the important part. Buffer length and weight, spring length (relaxed) with coil count and wire diameter. Next, your gas port in the barrel needs to be between 0.093"~0.096" in diameter. That's worth looking at. Next is gas tube length - the gas tube should (in a perfect world) end directly in the center of the cam pin cutout in the upper receiver. Here's a thread to read, on the basics of operation. The very first pic in the thread is perfect gas tube length:

Shawn Ryan podcast - here's Headshot Don. This is wild, and still ongoing.

Exact same thing I did on the Mk11 build, brother. Lost track spotting my shots on the 500 target. Toss that old-skool Tubb CWS in that thing with the tungsten insert - that's another 4oz directly into the back of the carrier, into the mix for operating weight on the recoil system. Directly. Calmed that thing down enough to observe any shots through the scope, no matter what the distance of the shot. Light buffers and lightweight race-gun BCG carriers are not where you want to be on these things. Not unless you're winning major money in all the top race-gun competitions throughout the country... My opinion...

One thing I'm gonna do on that 12.5" ARC is move to an H3 buffer. It has an H2 now, and that little demon could use a little more in the recoil-mitigation department, and calm it's ass down a little bit. I'll test that soon, too. Normally, I'd only run a VLTOR A5 recoil system on these kinds of guns (Grendel, ARC, Valk), but I'm stuck with a 7.000" internal pistol extension on this one - so no longer A5 buffer will work. SO, H3 it will be...

Working on 2 different .308ARs that came into GunPusher John's shop right now. Did some initial assessments on both last week, and we shot them on Sunday. I fucked up on one of them, the 18" rifle gas gun. It's a factory STAG .308AR gun, and that 18" barrel had an 0.080" gas port, and I let that slide. I knew better. The other one I'll get the details on, but it was a factory gun (not a PSA). 18" midlength gas, with a port size of 0.070". Drilled that thing to 0.085" right away. Both guns had messed up recoil systems. That 18" midlength gun looked like it had an AR15 carbine recoil spring in it, inside a 7.000" receiver extension, and a short 2.500" buffer that was 3.8oz. I grabbed a KAK 5.3oz short heavy buffer, and a Sprinco Orange spring, after drilling the gas port to the 0.085". That one ran like a champ on Sunday, no faults, no failures, just worked. Dude had an adjustable gas block on it, so I went straight to the high side (range should be 0.080"~0.085"). Ran the gas block wide open, and it functioned great - so we tossed a can on it and shot it suppressed, too. Ran damn good, had some forward-ish ejection... still with the gas block wide open. Maybe suppressed, close it down a click or two. We didn't test that, didn't care. It runs. Well. That STAG, though... Damnit. I knew that gas port was okay-ish, but needed to go up. 0.080" ain't where you need to be on 18" rifle gas. That thing should be 0.093"~0.096" - in that range. I should have drilled it when I drilled the other gun up. Damnit. It had a 7.000" receiver extension as well, another 2.500" shorty 3.8oz buffer, but it was running a factory Stag spring that looked pretty close to another Sprinco Orange. Almost. Needless to say, that gun didn't run, no matter what I could do to it that Sunday, with the parts on hand. That gas port just needs to go up. I don't know when I'll shoot that one next, but it'll get drilled this week, and probably shot again this coming Sunday. Ironically, this coming Sunday is 19 December... 22nd Anniversary of the 1989 Invasion of Panama. I think I'll go shooting that day. *** NOTE -both guns actually had the correct gas tubes, from where ever they came from. Both guns had gas tubes that ended directly in the very center of the cam pin cutout. That was a bonus, because it's less work...

That is No Bueno...

This is an amazing story. I've had that movie for a few years. After watching it, I read as much as I could about Doss. What a stud.

C Company, 2d Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. C/2/75. The rescue of Marcus Luttrell. Not an individual, highlighted here. An entire Ranger Company that was tasked with this job.

That is a great scope, you'll love it. I have a 2-12 MIL version on my 12.5" ARC gun, and it is impressive.
