The brilliance came from Drunk Werks Garage... We talked about it on the phone, and I had metal. Tommy said he'd need about 24 pieces, once I gave him the dimensions of what I had, and I had 27 pieces. Those guys ROCKED the design on this thing - it is spectacular. Oooooh boy, and is it fun to shoot off of... Once we set it up at the Fall Shoot, it'll stay up. Whenever you want, hop on and give it a whirl... Collect your scoresheet afterwards, and just hang onto the best one.

That's why they put red straps on it... Okay, Nick... Last summer was brutal on the grass. Last winter, my Rye took off and did great. Rolling into this summer, the bermuda really didn't take off so well, with the early heat. Couple weeks ago we got dumped on with rain, FINALLY... Several days over a week. That natural, real rain water made that shiit come back in force! Now I gotta maintain it, and cut it twice a week before work.

We tested the Sex Swing this morning, and IT IS RAD! We shot off the "pro version" 2 weeks ago at the last match, LAST Saturday @JBMatt and DirtBike Tommy had this thing together. Why not test it out?... @BigNate came down to shoot with us, one of my local buddies came out, and Scuba Steve showed up with a new mortar. One HELL of a morning. Afterwards, we had some beers and pizza at a really cool local place that isn't very far from the SDTF. I know you guys have only seen a very few, sparse teaser pics from Matt - but here it is. Completely portable, easy setup and takedown, and doesn't weigh much... BADASS... We tested it on the targets at 450, 500 and 600. It's legit. Tommy gettin' BUSY! Scuba Steve has a new mortar -it shoots pool balls... He drills three holes in them, like a bowling ball, so it whistles like a bowling ball... The Sex Swing is at my place right now, and it's painted already. Just got done, and it's dry already - so back together it went... Successful day, men.

That Terminator scene right there, plus EVERYTHING that Burt Gummer has, PLUS all those dudes that give Jon Wick guns when he's "getting outfitted..."... Is what I strive to accomplish in my life. Just all combined.

My women could go the way of coffee... Bitter and Murky. Because I have a choice, I change my coffee to Sweet and Creamy. Payback, in a way. Not why can't a find a woman like THAT?!...

We gonna test thing this OUT in a few more hours!!!

I love happy endings...

Double Rabbit-hole fucked me over. THis is Chinese finger-cuffs right here. Let me explain it. In this vid posted below, I've been watching this guy for a few weeks now. Street performer somewhere in Florida. He's a one-man-band, that lays the beat down, then sings it. He's fuckin' BADASS. One-man-shows are always the best, because THAT is the talent, right there. The dude in the yellow shirt is the guy I've been watching - I don't even know how to spell this shiit out, because it's characters. I think this guy is D0DYVAS - looks like "Oh" for the letter but it's ZERO as the number. At any rate, he fuckin' GET'S IT DONE in his vids. This guy can PERFORM. Well, someone asks him to throw down "Tennessee Whiskey", and the other guy steps up to sing it. This is EPIC. Here's the guy that sang that... Vere Hill... Give both these guys the most exposure that you can. THIS is the music that I love. Unreal.

Bill Geissele blows it all out quite well. https://geissele.com/colt-rifle-users-guide

Damnit. I still need to make right with @Armed Eye Doc...

I still say we bury it in the hill, first. THEN, convert it to a Gun Room...

@BigNate, the correct answer came from @DNP... @JF89, the commies are already invading. Marxists, Commies, Socialists, "Progressives..." Call them whatever you want, it's already on us. So, the question changes now... What are YOU planning for?... I load as much as I can to keep the guns up, and just make sure everything is operational, as ready as it can be, with ammo being the limiting factor, based on the number of firearms.

I run the A5 recoil System in the Grendels, the ARC, and the Valk. Reason - those fat little cartridges have a little more Woo-Pow than the leeetle 5.56x45. The A5 setup works really, really well. But it's never gonna work in a .308AR - even though we've got that solved in this thread. It'll come up again down the road, I'm positive. Somebody will want to try it... Look at AR15 rifle buffers vs. .308AR rifle buffers. 5.900" vs. 5.200". 0.700" difference in length, because that's the difference in length of the two BCGs - that have to operate inside the same rifle receiver extension. Same deal with AR15 carbine extensions. Internal depth is 7.000" - both platforms need to operate inside there. AR15 buffers are 3.250" and .308 AR buffers are 2.500" to run inside that extension. Difference is 0.750". Close, we're in the ballpark. Armalite did it different in the beginning, ran (basically) AR15 carbine buffers weighted to 5.4 oz via replacing steel weights with tungsten weights... and had to make that extension 7 5/8" internal depth, in order to use that 3.250" buffer length. They did it. VLTOR had to find a buffer length to make (which could be heavier, but you could run a rifle recoil spring inside that extension), that would work inside 7 5/8". 3.995" was the magic answer - difference between the VLTOR A5 buffer, and AR15 buffer? 3.995" - 3.250"... 0.745"...

Exactly why VLTOR developed the A5 Recoil System. Exactly. USMC. The USMC will NOT give up the M16A4. They DID need a solution to make it shorter overall, without losing the 20" barrel. VLTOR developed the A5 Recoil System so it would exactly emulate the firing cycle/recoil impulse of the Rifle Recoil System on the M16A4. - but with a collapsible stock. It used the M16 rifle recoil spring, in the Armalite AR-10 receiver extension, with a special 4" buffer (exact is 3.995"). VLTOR makes a KILLIN' on the contract to the USMC... The only thing they really say about is this, on their buffer page: https://www.vltor.com/shop/ar/buffer-components/vltor-a5-buffers-2/

I have not, yet. I haven't even tried the ACSs, but will this Sunday. The only mags that have been in my ARC are the E-Lander 17-rd Grendel mags, so far.

There is a literal SEA of weak motherfuckers right now voicing their opinions, making their name, and generally - just being complete pu$sies. Maybe it's the internet age, and people have to be "influencers" or some shiit. They're fucking weak. You couldn't put these CandyAsses out for a long weekend, handed a quart of water to start - and expect them to come back. Done, they're done. They'd "quit" because it has to be a "reality show" and it's just too hard. Well, HARD is what it fucking TAKES. I think you're right, Mike @blue109 - we went through the good times, and created WEAK MEN. They have risen to "Fame" now, through FB, IG, Twit, Tik-tok, etc... And think they're tough. Those weak motherfuckers are now creating hard times. Same shiit with the current politicians. It'll turn soon, and they'll be forgotten. All their fake-internet-fame... and it's gonna get rough. That's when we step up, and lead these younger fuckers that don't want to be a part of it. We create Strong Men. Many here are already doing it, just in personal life - but it's gonna take alot more. We'll need to bring in the strangers, and educate them. Those that don't want to be a part of what's going on right now. We may not be down at the bottom of that pendulum swing right now - the "hard times" - and I feel it's on the downward stroke, gonna get harder... But it'll come back around. Bring in those that see it, and school them.

I found his barrel - WHEW! That is a bad bitch! https://criterionbarrels.com/products/large-frame-ar/dpms-pattern-308-hybrid-barrel-mid-length-gas-chrome-lined/?v=7516fd43adaa They don't state the gas port, but it's a 0.750" journal. I know an 18" midlength 0.750" journal needs 0.080"~0.085" to run right (just run those at 0.085" and be done). Drop 2" of dwell time on that combo, and you'll have to bump it another 0.005" in gas port diameter to make it run. That thing needs to be running 0.090" on the gas port. My $0.02.

Great update @Mrj209 !!! glad it's running like it's supposed to! I get lucky with that gas port shiit every once in awhile - glad it worked out this time.

Stuck that spring in there QUICK! Welcome aboard, man - damn nice boomstick.

You work too damned hard, brother. SLOW THE FUK DOWN FOR A MINUTE!!!

I'll fired that up this weekend. That is VERY similar to the way I do the corned beef and cabbage in the Orion cooker. Carrots, too, in there with it.

That shiit is pure evil.

Perfect. Now that we handed out the obligatory "free information," go hop in the Intro Section and tell us about yourself. It's here (click it): https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/

Yep. I wanted it again, it's that good.

Sprinco RED is designed for the Armalite AR-10 Carbine system. The Orange is designed for 7.000" receiver extensions (AR15) running shorty 2.500" buffers. Use the Sprinco RED in your build with slashes buffer, and the 7 5/8" internal depth receiver extension. It'll work well. The reason the EA1095 spring gets recommeded alot is (1) it never fails, and it's the same spring to use for Rifle and Carbine system, and (2) it should cost you about $8. It's always made exactly the same, from the same materials, to the same dimensions, by the same company - there's no "Aftermarket" in there fucking it up. But, that Sprinco RED is a direct replacement for it - just more expensive.
