Download that .pdf, check it out. For those that are unfamiliar with FM 22-102, that's the Wall-to-Wall Counseling FM. I can provide that, too.

This one - she's the Yoda-looking Gun-Whisperer... Yeah, fuk that. Since taking over, I've implemented the "Hurt Feelings Report." If you feel slighted in any way, just download this, fill it out, and send it to me. I'll take care of the situation, once I find out what really hurt your little feelings. main_da-form-imt-wf-1-hurt-feelings-report.pdf

Yes, they do. Indeed. Everything, no matter what it is, should be crimped with a Lee Factory Crimp Die, IMHO.

Same here - I miss the camaraderie, foremost. That close bond. Next on the list is jumping out of aircraft, doesn't matter what kind of aircraft. I miss jumping, training JumpMasters, running drop zones and teaching others to run drop zones, controlling aircraft... all of it. Besides missing the friends, I really miss the fuk out of all-things jumping. You cocksuckers make up for the camaraderie side of the house, quite well.

Have you tried those, though? You can still hear through them, when you don't have them capped. The only time I cap mine is when I'm shooting something CRAZY loud. Otherwise, no caps needed, shooting - and you can still hear. And it doesn't impede your cheek-to-stock weld.

First things first - we need to verify your gas port diameter. That's #1 on the priority list. Very first. Your gas tube is perfect - do not change that. Doesn't matter if it's an AR15 gas tube or an AR-10 gas tube. Whatever you have in there is designed for the perfect gas timing, and it ends directly in the center of the cam-pin cutout. That's perfect, like it should be, so leave that part alone. For a recoil system, you're working with a 7.000" internal depth AR15-based receiver extension. That restricts you to 2.500" long buffers. That's not a good place to be, based on the amount of weight that can possibly FIT in a 2.500" long buffer (about 5.3oz or 5.4oz, max, on a 2.500" buffer). You can make that setup work, with a full-weight BCG, but you have a light BCG assembly... In your shoes, I'd completely change the recoil system. You have to counteract that lightweight BCG, and it's reciprocating mass (loss). You'll need a carbine receiver extension that's 7 5/8" internal depth, and there are only 3... Armalite AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension, MagPul Enhanced Receiver Extension SR25/M110, and the VLTOR A5 Receiver Extension. Those three are verified at 7 5/8" internal depth. You need an Armalite EA1095 recoil spring. You need ANY AR15 Carbine H3 buffer - or maybe more. You might need the HeavyBuffers.com XH buffer - based on your lightweight BCG. I'd go with the XH buffer, and get the weight up there, JUST to counteract that lightweight BCG - if it were mine. This is the one that you're after: Scroll this page until you find that exact buffer... https://heavybuffers.com/ar10carbine.html It comes with the spring, for that price, and the spring is the Armalite EA1095 spring that I mentioned. All this is moot, though - you NEED that recoil system in place, to make a functional gun - but we need to know what that gas port diameter is, from ADM... Hope this helps. We'll help the whole way, no matter what. That's my opinion on what your recoil system needs to be, though, to run this barrel configuration. -

It would solve ALL the political problems. All of them. They get two terms - like a President does. Not in office long enough (50-ish years for JoeBama) - to MAKE those connections that they exploit. FOR MONEY. Here for two terms - GoodBye. With a much shorter term than they're "accustomed" to - they can't make and exploit those connections. FOR MONEY. That's all they do, anyway. Get 'em gone. -

I hope it makes sense - if it doesn't, or it's muddled/confusing - ask anything you want about it right here in your thread. I'll answer anything that comes up. -

Gas port diameter is king, in any gas system. It's everything. You don't need a gunsmith to resize the port - you can do that at home, with a hand drill and the right drill bit. I preach that all the time here, and the pilot hole that you need to follow is right there in front of you... Read this when you have the time: -
Coming back to the original question, after the "required banter..." YES. That is a very good gun. That's a match barrel in that thing, so it won't disappoint you.If your Gun Pusher still has it - then GO GET IT!...

Call ADM, man. I hope they planned this thing out the right way. I've never had another 16" rifle gas barrel to compare to the FA barrel - and yours is definitely a 16" barrel. I now know why FA went with a 0.936 gas block journal size. They use that journal size to get the port diameter down from maxed-out. Even the 0.875" would give some wiggle-room, but that 0.750" doesn't leave anything on the table. -

I came up with some bad numbers for a gas port diameter for a 16" rifle gas barrel and a 0.750" gas block journal. You'll need a gas port diameter that's maxed out, 0.125". Let's see what ADM says about it. This is a .308 Winchester cartridge that we're working with here, right? Not 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08, something weird? .308 Win? -

Can you put a tape measure up to that barrel, from the upper receiver to the beginning of the muzzle device? That thing looks like 18" rifle gas, not 16" rifle gas... -

You'd have to pull the gas block - loosen and slide forward - and use a drill index (the small numbered bits) to determine the gas port diameter. That's the easiest way. However it shakes out, you definitely need to get us that number. That's the most important number in figuring all this stuff out. I can come up with a number range that it should be, based on the Fulton Armory proven barrel config, that works. That's 16" rifle gas, 0.936" journal, 0.105" gas port diameter. Give me a few, and I'll edit the post with the port range that you'd need to have. -

Gas block journal diameter is 0.750". That's the gas block diameter that you had to use. The barrel is beautiful - ADM does fine work. No way is the gas port diameter 0.750" - max gas port diameter that any barrel can have is 0.125", since that's the inside diameter of a gas tube. Double check that gas port diameter, if you will. 0.075" is a viable number, but not 0.750"... -
You need to look for one of these three versions - the M5 ATLAS handguards will not work, but these 3 versions are what you'll need to find. Even though they're out of stock, select what you want in the dropdowns, and use the part number to search the web. Something will turn up. https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-enhanced-mlok-handguards-gen2 https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-enhanced-quad-rail-handguards-gen2 https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-quantum-m-lok-handguards

Yeah, it is. Gonna need a more-heavy than normal (heavier than 5.4oz) to counteract that lightweight BCG. OP, what's your gas port diameter? And the Gas block journal diameter? Your gas tube length is perfect. Leave your adjustable gas block - just make sure that you're running it wide open,as long as we're doing this testing. Once the gun runs right, worry about adjusting it down. I'd like to see pics of the ADM barrel. 16" rifle gas is rare, so if you can get that rail off and snap a pic, that would be awesome. It's just for the reason of seeing that isn't a Fulton Armory, because they're so rare. I know the Fulton Armory barrel profile had a 0.936" journal, and it had to have a 0.105" gas port to run right, because the dwell time is so short. -

I'm SO FUCKIN INTO THIS - that it's not even funny. I they want to tell my that semi-auto guns are super-skeery - then I need to see them shooting Super-Skeery guns at targets, with effectiveness - and demonstrating how bad and evil that they are. yeah. They won't do that. Brother, I want that Shock Collar more than you know. -
Surprised NO ONE here, A-Whore. However, I'd lay out cash for that gun, too - and finally get my first real Armalite?... That gun is worth it, OP- throw the cash and grab it.

Belt, you looking at reloading components, or loaded ammo, brother? either way, it's a sad state of affairs right now. I never look for the loaded ammo, but that's just because I roll my own. I haven't looked for components until last night, looking for .260 Rem projectiles for @ARTrooper... Slim pickins... I did find some projectiles, if you're loading your own - I'll dig that list up if you want it. There's some decent, but not what I'd call "optimal" - things available. Finding ANYTHING just sucks right now. I'm out of my 225gr Hornady ELD-M .30 cal projectiles - and on backorder for 300 at a time. That's my magic for the Win Mag and that fuckin' Mile Target. I'm all assed out for shooting that that thing, until I get projos. I get to watch @JBMatt shoot at the fucker, and spot him...

Jim, you have made my day with your post. I'm not kidding. The information works, when people use the information - and you did, and it still works. You have literally made my day, I'm not kidding you.

Indeed - ANY of the Aero M5 handguards are gonna direct-mount right to that upper receiver. That's the beauty in it - any M5 handgaurds fit, and you don't need a barrel nut to mount the handguard - because the upper receiver takes care of that for you. But, it has to be an Aero M5 handguard - ANY one of them will work, directly mounted to that upper.
