Max COL is whatever the max mag length is for your magazines, in your gun, since you're shooting a semi-auto AR, and not a bolt gun. Don't rely on the load manuals to tell you what your Max COL is - when the mag in your gun is restricting that number, and nothing else will.

@Snow_N_Surf - you can stop PMing me now. For real. You hash out whatever details that you can hash out - publicly, speaking logically, right here, right in your thread. That you started. Sound good? 11 PMs from you was WAY MORE than enough. I could have done with ZERO PMs from you, but you didn't think that you had to stop. Now, you don't get to PM me anymore. You broke that threshold, with your "I'm a Psycho" powers. Like I said in the last reply...

You won't see a PM discussion from me - not with you. You want to discuss the finer merits of this gun system, then you'll do it right here, in your own thread. You can either communicate publicly, like humans are supposed to be able to do - or you can't.

I don't ban anyone. Ever. I prefer that nobody here gets banned - ever. They need to stay here, and live it out, like a man. Learn from mistakes, and all that. Stick around, hash it out, and learn how to converse like real adults. Sadly, that's not always the case.

For What It's Worth (FWIW) - I don't ever give a fuk if you ever recommend me, or not. I'm okay without your recommendation, for the rest of my life.

Self-Implosion in... 3... 2... 1... Wait for it... He's gonna pop!

Bring it. I welcome it.

I did state that, directly. It works in these guns, that I stated that I have - and they run. Any more questions on whether or not it sucks, ir it works? I don't know how many rounds I have to send down range to prove it to you, but if you start asking for more proof, I'll start charging you for the ammo - with videos provided, for your comfort - of course. Get your wallet out, if you doubt what I've stated. I'm in for that. Pay me, and I'll give you definitive video proof of what I'm saying. Not that I haven't done that already, all over this board. The information is already here.

But, you have been holding back - and pitching ideas that we now know are from YouTube. I've written about this so many times here, it's not even funny. Proven my points, time and time again. That's not on YouTube, but only here, so you must have missed it all. You've argued this thread the whole time, with nothing but speculation and bullshiit. Now, we know that's all from YouTube. If you STICK to proven designs... you'll find that the stupid questions, and arguments, quickly go away. When you pull the trigger, and the gun works - you'll see the difference. Until then - stay in fantasy-world, keep believing what you want, and keep eating the bullshiit that's out there. When you want to FIRE your gun, and really make it work - come back, and give details on what's NOT working. We'll fix it.

I thought I stated that - had to go back and check, just to make sure. Yep. I stated that. Hope that "YouTube Research" works out for you. Your best resource for no-bullshiit information is RIGHT HERE. Make sure you tell YouTube that, too - let them all know...

Well Holy Shiit! That comes down to MY proven theory that you need a certain amount of reciprocating mass! ENOUGH ASS TO CONTROL THE MASS!!! Guess I got that one right, yeah?...

I like your style, brother...

I'm completely not understanding what's on your notebook. Please explain.

^^^ Nailed it.

Good luck. Take pictures.

Oh, we can TOP that one, here in the US. We have a Secret Weapon on OUR side, for stupid gun regulation, and he wears a cape... His name is Kevin De Leon, from California. Here he is, in action...

Answered, in your other thread.

Shave the flat in the Forward Assist. That'll fix it. The threaded pin-portion is a larger diameter, where it threads. That's hitting the flat portion of the forward assist, where a roll would clear - then you need to clearance that flat on the forward assist. That's your bind. Simple fix. Get the Dremel and sanding wheel out, and fix the part that's causing the problem.

You have this one? If you do, the answer is - nothing but Aero.

1. You just described the PERFECT Race Gun. One that is tailored for zero felt recoil and muzzle movement, to stay on target, and win matches, with one specific load that's only made up to meet a Power Factor threshold, and be accurate. 2. Shock absorber? That's your recoil spring. 3. Ti vs. standard BCG? Is the Ti BCG 4oz less? You'd need a buffer 4oz heavier, if you're building a reliable gun that shoot any load that you throw in it (besides subs). If you want to build a Race Gun, just do it. When it doesn't function, we'll figure out what went wrong. When you finally find ammo that runs through it - good luck switching loads. RaceGun away, though - build that thing. I build my Large Frame ARs to run on any load that I run through them, unsuppressed - and still run if I toss a buddy's suppressor on there. Weird, though. They all have the same recoil system designs. That would include an 18.5" .308 Win AR, a 16" .308 Win AR, a 13.5" .308 Win AR, a 12.5" .308 Win AR, a 16" .338 Fed AR, a 20" .260 Rem AR, another 18" .308 Win AR, and a 16" .358 Win AR. One of these days, I'll add an 18" 7mm-08 AR to the pile, and I'll run the same recoil system design, that I know works.

Not in the least. I feel like I'm trying to explain something that you have zero interest in listening to, based on your knowledge that you have. I need to know where you stand, what you think you know, and the why on it all - just in order to have a conversation with you. You're blowing off everything that is given to you, and you rail off on some tangent about this and that - that don't matter. I want to know why it matters to you - and why you think it'll make a difference. I need to be on your level of what you understand, just to have a conversation with you about this shiit. That's all.

Run with scissors HOD - have a blast.

Please explain what you already understand then - spill it. I want to know what you know/understand. I need to see where you stand on this, and why, in order to work with what you know and understand.

If you're reloading for a magazine fed semi-auto, you'll always reach max meg-length before you'll ever get to the lands in the barrel. Fact. Well, unless you have a cheap, shiit barrel that wasn't machined right - not a slam on you, just a fact of barrel manufacturing for these things. If you load to max mag length, and you're in the lands on a barrel - you need a different barrel, because that one wasn't made right. "Setback from the lands" that you stated ties directly into the videos that I posted, and why I posted them. Knowing where the lands are is smart, on bolt guns. Using the lands to determine your loaded length isn't smart - because the lands erode every time you pull the trigger and send a round down the barrel. "Off the lands" is the backwards way of doing it, and it fails you most of the time. Erik Cortina 'splains that well, in those two vids - with excellent info to back it up.

Welcome aboard. Buy this barrel, and you'll never, ever look back. It's 18'5", but it's the best barrel you can get for decent money, for what you want to do. 2 of us here have this barrel, and we love it. At distance, it gets the job done. https://www.fulton-armory.com/barrelfatitan185nmmedss1x10936gasblock.aspx
