Fuk it - let your hair down, brother...

You have NO IDEA how bad I wanna get some "Pat Raley & Me" going on at the campfire during a shoot. NO IDEA... I don't think anyone else would be safe...

Shiit, you guys haven't met me. Yet. I'm just a normal guy, that likes the AR platform and concept. When it screws you over on a build, you tend to find out why, so it doesn't happen to you again. Read this handbook - I used to work with this guy: https://soldiersystems.net/2008/08/26/m16m4-handbook/

I like the plan - I like your style...

Welcome aboard, man.

He's a badass - and those tiny cars are unreal. He's more in Stanfield, than Maricopa, but you can hit up his place when you come down. It's not far.

You get 'em, Mack!

Ordered a LaRue LT-158 mount the other day, and it went to backorder-status the day after. Called them yesterday, and it's about a 4~6 week wait (average). Might be faster, might be slower. I'll use an Athlon 20-MOA mount in the meantime - I wanted to try one anyway. Once it comes in, I'll get the scope mounted up and update this thread. These are the times we face...

^^^ That one is a little different - listen to the forward, the intro...

Send me to bed with a badass bedtime story of the 18" .260 Rem barrel that you guys are gonna do...

5.56 mags and 300BLK mags are never gonna work. ^^^ What he said. You need Grendel mags. For 17-rd mags, I use E-Lander mags, and either get them from Alexander Arms, or Primary Arms (when PA has them). LaRue Tactical sells them, too, but you can never see LaRue's live inventory. For 25-rd mags, I use the ASC mags. The ones with the blue followers. I always get them from PA.

This MUST be a receiver extension that's 7 5/8" internal depth, if they're telling you to use AR15 Carbine Buffers and a .308 Rifle Spring. Get the extension, if it's available. Get an Armalite EA1095 recoil spring. Get ANY AR15 Carbine H3 buffer that you can find somewhere. Get the extension first, and measure the INTERNAL depth of it. Get the other parts when you confirm that internal depth is 7 5/8". EDIT - For a buffer, if you were set on an adjustable buffer, get the ODIN Works AR15 HEAVY kit... But, FWIW, a 5.4oz buffer will run all of those calibers. Well.

Holy Fuk! Zack's Carbon Fiber fetish is badass!!!

That thing was Prehistoric. Unreal.

I know some of the guys at Aero - if they would have said we were stupid for saying something like what we said, I would have been making some calls...

Backwards fuckers...

No worries - we'll get to this thing when we get to it. Don't sweat your timeline - do what you have to. I think that gas port diameter is gonna be way too small - but put it together with the recoil system that you have on order, and let's see how this thing runs. Shoot it one round in a magazine, at a time, and see it if locks the bolt back. Make sure it's well lubed before shooting. If you give it 3 or 4 honest tries, single-round in a mag, and it won't lock the bolt back, then don't waste anymore ammo - that gas port diameter will have to go up.

Is that the GREEN DIESEL nozzle, she's got, too?... Don't know what her car is, but it doesn't look like it needs diesel...

You just cannot make this shiit up. These people are among us... They have problems with cereal in a bowl, and adding the fucking milk to it...

You need to do it like this, here, brother... A$SHOLE... a$shole...

I had a very specific barrel that I was looking for, and it was ONLY BCA that offered it - 16" carbine gas 6.5 Grendel barrel. And it's a shooter, for sure. Happy with it. I talked with the owner of BCA a few years ago at SHOT Show, and asked him how he does it - they have a Lifetime Guarantee on their barrels. He used to own an auto parts reproduction plant. He owns all his buildings and manufacturing equipment. Owes nobody, nothing is leased, rented, etc. When the Chinese started making auto parts - he decided to turn towards firearms, and bought the few other peices of equipment he'd need... and OFF TO THE RACES. That's how they have low prices on good stuff, and offer a lifetime on it all - if one gets through that didn't meet spec, they have no problem replacing it. No questions asked.

You better look at your charges - I'll be it was @Lonewolf McQuade that maxed your card...

Take your rail off and get a good close-up pic of that barrel nut. I don't have any Troy Alpha handguards - but Troy make alot of their barrel nuts the same.
