At this point, I thought you already ran through all that...

That's minor. For normal people, set the bones, get a cast, it's a lower extremity, so it takes longer to heal (that's a blood-flow thing, and age doesn't help, either). For a Pro Athlete like that, he got rodded and pinned today, and he'll be back in action in no time. If it woulda been a finger toe, all fucked up with a bone sticking out, I woulda barfed.

I'm here for you - anytime you need me. I'm here. If I can save you money on therapy - just THINK about the guns that'll get built!...

Oh, you're the Poster Child for something, but it certainly ain't scruples and morality...

There's not a problem with his recoil spring, at all.

That's the right buffer, then, as far as length goes. Measure the gas port diameter with numbered drill bits, until one doesn't fit - the next one down that fit, is the gas port diameter. A small drill index set of numbered drill bits is cheaper than buying machinist's pin gauges. Gas port diameter on that barrel profile need to be 0.093"~0.096". I'd start with a standard weight rifle buffer that's 5.4oz - if your gas port is too small, you're compounding the problem with that heavy buffer.

Lots of great card fights tonight, but the big news was Chris Weidman fighting Uriah Hall. 17 seconds into Round 1 was Weidman throwing a low kick and Hall raised his knee a little to block it. First and ONLY contact in the fight. It was called, IMMEDIATELY. You HEARD both "cracks", too - Tib and Fib - almost simultaneously. It was wicked to see/hear. Anderson Silva fought Weidman 8 years ago, and broke his leg when he kicked Weidman. Weird how things work, I'lll tall ya. Here was that fight: Next best fight was Thug Rose Namajunas, winning her belt back. She fucked that Chinese title-belt-holding girl UP at 1:18 into the first round!

This is your first post here, and it probably doesn't pertain to the OP's question. Starting a new thread, with all your specifics on your parts, will help greatly. Generic information just doesn't work, over the internet, and postings. Follow this as a (great) guide for providing information:

I call bullshite on that, and that's a solid answer... You're Mr. FullAuto... I think what you meant to say was " @Lonewolf McQuade didn't have as many guns when he joined this site, as he does now..." And we know how he pulled that $$$ magic...

What's the length on this rifle buffer? It's either 5.200" long or it's 5.900" long. What's your gas port diameter on this barrel.

^^^ This is interesting, very much. I'm surprised that there's still a school that has any "Rifle-Anything" involved - and it's badass that you were IN one that still let it happen. I'd love to hear about that program (SC, very cool!), no need to give up city and local details... and also what it was like. What did you shoot? What were the targets, distances, etc? Very cool.

9 boxes of Hornady Black 6 ARC showed up at my local Cal Ranch store. I'll get their "box a day" until I buy it out, just to get the brass. The Black is the 105gr BTHP projo, and it's REALLY close in G1 BC to the 108 ELD-M projo they load for the Match ammo. It can't be a BAD load, like that. I'll chrono it and get results up. If it shows up, BUY IT!...

I've DONE this. I'll find the gun I did it to, and get pics up - but I'm pretty sure it was one of the 5.56 pistol builds. It turned out perfect.

Just a regular guy. I just never like the Dungeons & Dragons weird fuckers that gravitated towards my job specialty - and spent the rest of my career staying away from those freaks... Had my Career Branch Manager (total fucking weinerhead living in Alexandria, VA, and never had a hard assignment in his life, and ZERO overseas tours...) tell me that I was "hiding in SF, because I didn't want to face the Real Army..." That turned into a VERY SPICY PHONECALL, RIGHT AWAY!!!... Shortly afterwards, he was not "permitted" to access my records anymore, for "assignment purposes..." Fucking cockgobbler fukwad...

...aaaaand. He hasn't been back since his first post.

You're alright - you keep doing what you're doing, nobody is "irked" by anything that you're posting. Be You, man. You're alright. Post away.

By the time my first enlistment was up, I knew that I loved what I'd done, loved the units I was in, and knew that I wanted to give it a little more. I knew once I was FIRST IN that I needed to get the hell away from these Intel Geeks. My first assignment I requested a tactical unit, and got it, in Korea. Next up, was asking for Airborne school enroute to 1st Special Forces Group, coming back to the states. They gave me my Airborne School - and sent me to 7th Infantry Division (Light) at Fort Ord, CA. Went into Panama on 19 Dec 1989, and got to see that all the shiit we train for is real, and I was hooked. I hit the end of my first term there, and made a bet with my Bn CSM, that wanted me to stay there - I'll re-enlist to stay here if you PROMISE to send me to Ranger School. I did, he kept his promise, and I smoked it. Then, back to Korea after that - requested the same unit that I was in the first time, and got it. No choice, really, by Big Army, at that point. I don't know if it's still in any assignment and personnel management regulations, but what used to be in there was THIS statement: "For Ranger Qualified Soldiers, first priority for unit assignment is that which the Soldier chooses." BAM! On the way out of Korea that time, I DID get my assignment to 1st Special Forces Group, and stayed there for 10 years. I beat the system, in a way, and got what I wanted, but had to work my nuts off for it to happen. I finally got moved to Ft Huachuca and 3 years of that made me say "Fuk this, I'm done." Retired in 2007. As a Senior Leader at that place, I saw some of the corruption, chickenshiit, bullshiit, and horseshiit that goes on with Senior Enlisted at that place. I was done with it. Didn't want any part of it. Now, I'm a happy civilian, fixing anything with an internal combustion engine, and making guns run. I love it all...

"Barrel length" begins at the face of the chamber, and ends at the very end of the threads on the barrel. Rails don't measure that way - and all rails from all manufacturers - they all measure differently. My $0.02 on it. I can put up pics of the differences, if necessary. Here's a Ballistic Advantage 8.3" 9mm barrel, with a GunTec USA 6.75" rail. Can you imagine if that rail was another 1.5"-ish longer?...

I was bummed that they didn't state that the Prusik Climb was in there - that's always been a staple of Best Ranger. The Prusik Climb is a motherFUCKER... Here's Marty Skovland's coverage of the 2019:

That's hilarious that Al popped into your mind on that - he's got some fuckin' BEAR PAWS!...

Like Roman. That fucker @sketch put a Shockwave Blade on his .458 SOCOM - just to be a dick... I saw that MagPul the other day, and I'll pick one up. Just to have it. I only saw it in black on their website, but as soon as they drop the FDE, I'll grab one. One more push against SlowBama... I love that they announced it, and dropped it - AFTER SlowBama made his statements about pistol braces...

GO beat up the Intro Section and tell us about yourself, instead of coming in on your first post, and asking for parts from people. Asking for parts from people is what the "Want to Buy" Section is for - it's not for General Discussion. Here's the WTB Section: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/38-wanted-to-buy/ Next, and more importantly for new people, here's the Intro Section - post away. https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/ Go knock it out - once we learn who you are and what you need, and more about you - someone might be willing to give you a deal. As a stranger, first post, looking for parts?! Nope. We're ALL looking for parts. Tell us why you're worth what we've scavenged and stock-piled away... Seems like a fair trade.

One day, they'll wise up a little, and either figure it out and start listening. Or not.

You will not be disappointed, brother - not in the least. I can directly thank Greg @edgecrusher for making me meet him in the first place. I think that was 2012, might have been 2011. Walked into that tent of his at the Tombstone Cowboy Action Shoot, and Greg says - "THAT! THAT BLOCK OF WOOD! That would make some BADASS grips for your Desert Warrior..." Thanks, fucker... I felt so flattered when he put my gun on his webpage, for the example of the "Amboyna Burl" wood. It's #169 on this page: https://classicsingleaction.com/gallery ^^^ Yes, that gun was daily-carried for several years. Yes, it has carry-wear, and yes, it's had the absolute SHIIT shot out of it. That was my retirement present to ME, when I got out in 2007. And I don't believe in Safe Queens.

Damn, I'll have to check mine out here. Good heads up!
