Had to fix that one for ya, brother...

Wild, how it ties together like that. See if Lewis Millett has a quote in there, and Larry Rosser. I've met them both. I met COL Lewis Millett When I was on a Funeral Detail over Memorial Day Weekend, first female killed in Desert Storm. He was at that same cemetery putting flowers on his son's grave. Badass Ranger that he was, he stopped and observed our funeral detail, and came up to me afterwards. We talked for about 25 minutes, before the dumbass 1LT that was the OIC for the detail came up and broke it up, told me we had to go. I broke away, and jerked a fucking KNOT in that LT's ASS right away... He didn't even notice the MOH at the top of his ribbon stack. He felt like a - well, like a Lieutenant - after that. That's the man. He has a really interesting story. Court Martialld for Desertion, then given a Direct Commission, and sent back in the Army.

Yeah, that's GUNTEC USA's Gen 2 version of a .308AR lower. That's nowhere close to compatible with a DPMS G2 setup. ^^^ Precisely. My point here is simple - there is NO STANDARD for .308AR parts, platforms (3 major platform differences), or any aftermarket standard for a company that "just makes parts, not guns" to follow. Just because you see something that says "Gen 2" on it doesn't mean it's compatible with the DPMS G2 platform. That barrel you have IS for a DPMS G2 platform. Return that $450 barrel to Rainier Arms, eat the restocking fee, turn around and purchase a Ballistic Advantage barrel for around $250-ish, and you'll be in far better shape. Or, you can search out complete DPMS G2 rifles, and mod it. I found some, searching last night - they're out there, at high prices. Realize this, though - You''ll drop over a grand on a full gun that you're gonna take apart and replace most of the parts on, and second - there are no major spare parts down the road, should you need them... If you break a bolt - you then own a very expensive club.

Who is stating that? Who is "they"...?... DPMS never stated that, with any of the info that they ever put out - it was never, ever compatible with an actual DPMS LR-308 lower. And they're the ones that made them both. From DPMS themselves, it was a completely brand new upper and lower receiver, and BCG. Also from DPMS, it was supposed to be able to use "any" AR15 handguard - but that didn't work out. Some fit, many didn't. Getting information out of you is just about as hard as pulling my own teeth with vice grips. You need to read this thread, right here, then come back once you're done absorbing it.

Then, you have to solve the BCG problem, and the lower receiver problem. If the upper works.

So, here's the deal, in a nutshell. Years ago, Remington bought DPMS. 2 years ago, Remington went bankrupt. All assets for Remington went to auction, and 7 different companies bought all the pieces to Remington. PSA got the DPMS line, and the Remington 870 line. The "Gen 2" you're referring to - lots of companies make a Gen 2, and 3, etc. Judging by the barrel, if that's the one that you have, is very specifically for the DPMS G2 (sometimes called the GII). That's a .308AR made to fit in a small-frame, almost AR15-sized receivers. The company is gone, the parent company is gone. What you NEED to make that barrel run is a DPMS G2 receiver set, and a DPMS G2 BCG (complete, with bolt). Almost any AR15 handguards work. The rest of the parts are standard, and easily sourced. At this point, I'd return the barrel to Rainier Arms. If I were in your shoes. You won't find receivers, or a BCG,unless you get lucky on GunBroker or another auction site, and you'll pay out the ass. The only other option is to do a very specific search for a DPMS G2 complete rifle, and buy it. There have to be some out there in the wild, sitting on shelves in stores. You're in a pretty bad place, to try to build your own DPMS G2. My $0.02.

Got a listing for the barrel? Provide a weblink maybe? This it? https://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-ultramatch-mod2-308-dpms-gen-2-spec-875-gas-block-20-satin-non-fluted/

What brand? Probably DPMS Gen 2. Could be PSA Gen 2. Need to know that before we can progress...

That's the truth, and I've narrowed it down. It's "perfection of a craft" right there. With half-a-million rounds through one shotgun... it all comes down to ONE THING. And it's simple, and it's PERFECTED... His "Flash-to-Bang" Time cannot be rivaled. Doesn't really matter what gun you put in his hands - that jackass - he'll shoot your own gun better than you do, even if you grew up with it... If you walk onto a rifle range with him, he's gonna kick your ass with a wrist-rocket. That's how it's gonna go. Period. Here's what you need to learn, just to deal with that... https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/407d32bf-9ebc-45fc-94b9-a965f3a8786e

They'll never get it by that date. No way. Hornady just can't keep up with the demand, and that bare brass in the 50-packs is gonna be years-out. 1 year ago right now, is right about the time I pulled the trig on my first 6 ARC shot - so I know what you're saying. I got in on this one early, very early.

@Lonewolf McQuade is just getting CRUSHED tonight...

You fucked that up, with what you were quoting. I'm just here for the finer points of life. Mentor-Moments, if you will. For a response about ...the PROPER response should have been... But, am I WONG?... Thanks, love you guys, no need for praise - just remember to tip your server - and REMEMBER - every single night is a new show!...

I'll help this one along, here... This is what Rex is talking about - read this thread. Then read it again. Understand the level of detail needed to diagnose a gun-problem over the internet. It's pretty specific, in level of detail, in order to give you an accurate "assessment" on your problem. Just like "double-feed." That's a magazine issue, never has been and never will be, anything else. A Failure To Extract, and Failure to Eject can also leave two pieces of brass in the chamber - but they're not a double-feed...

No WAY she'd get that pleasure - she's full of shiit anyway! No face o' mine near that crack! But I'd beat them big ol' titties with a car antenna, though...

^^^ He'd CRUSH IT... When "Survivor" came out in 1999 (around there somewhere) I wanted to enter. My plan was just to kill everyone else. I didn't know what the rules were, just what I read in the "casting announcement..."

You called him out for MOAs... MIL scopes are WAY EASIER, and MUCH MORE BETTER... Less math, makes the shooter faster... Divide your MOAs by 3.4377 to come up with the MIL equivalent. We'll all be speaking MILs out there, so the math is on you...

PM sent...

I'll PM you some details...

We're already talking about you for that job, brother... You up for driving down to Maricopa on Sunday morning, before it gets hot?...

That's gonna work, Nate. DC Machine makes the barrels for PSA (PSA owns them), and they make good 5.56 barrels. Can't go wrong there. Exactly one week after this last match, we have our own Sex Swing fabbed up, and we're test-firing it this Sunday. We'll make sure the results get posted here. @Armed Eye Doc has to have the official credit for naming this thing, too... At the shoot, they called it the "Wobble Platform." That is true, but just doesn't give it justice. We'll inform THEM that it's been renamed, and all future listings of it in the shoot details have to call it The Sex Swing...

My sentiments exactly. SOCOM does not need to invite this into the organization. Having 10 years in the organization, no matter when my service period ran through, gives me a "clue" about the mentality of the people inside said organization.

I was thinking that same exact thing!... 9 Iron, pitching wedge, wouldn't fucking matter. There'd be goose feathers everywhere, if you just carried a little "bat speed..."

I saw that one earlier today and thought of him, too...

That's great info, Tack - very well done.

Several of us are. Hornady can't keep the production up with the .mil contract that they have to fulfill, plus getting loaded ammo out to people that jumped on board with this round. I've never seen any Hornady brass available, since the launch of the cartridge on 3 June 2020. Only thing I've been able to do is buy 6 ARC Hornady ammo, and save my brass. I'm up to about 400 pieces. Starline hasn't picked it up yet, but they're an option. Option #1 is just get Grendel brass and resize it. Option #2 is get Starline's "Basic Grendel Brass" and resize that. That the only info I know right now... Tough time to get into a brand new cartridge.
