  1. Read this thread: Steel buffer weights come in at 0.65oz per weight. Tungsten buffer weights come in at somewhere between 1.4oz~1.5oz per weight. There isn't a metal alive that will give you 2.5oz per weight. What are you showing me with your new scale here, man?... Instead of a weirdass picture with a number on your scale - DESCRIBE what you put on the scale, and DESCRIBE the exact weight that your scale read. I'm not blowing up your pictures anymore, trying to find out what you're talking about. Read this thread, so you can be accustomed to questions around here.
  2. I can't wait for this thread to get moved out of this section...
  3. I've reported on steel and tungsten buffer weights before, for the weight, length and diameter, of each weight. Your numbers don't match this, not anywhere close.
  4. There's something fucked up with your scale. Tungsten buffer weights don't even weigh 2.5oz each.
  5. You have a 5.9oz buffer - but when you add that ONE weight, it over-limits your scale. How is that 21oz? Go back through your Brownells history, find the buffer you bought, and provide a link to what you purchased. You can do that, with Brownells.
  6. Brownells sold you a 21oz buffer? And there's not a link to the product?
  7. This should have been a clue. The title of that section is: 308 AR - What You Need To Know Compatibility, Troubleshooting and Frequently Asked Questions. This Board is "Read Only"
  8. No, there will be a redirect. f that doesn't happen, then I'll just quote you in the new location, and you'll receive a notification of that.
  9. You need a new buffer. Spill the manufacturer details on the buffer that you're running right now.
  10. You can't. A Mod or Admin will, though.
  11. Wide Open. Always start an adjustable gas block WIDE OPEN...
  12. Hey Mods, let's move this one to a build section or something - this isn't information that everybody else needs to come into this section, and learn from. This isn't "What you need to know" for everyone...
  13. I'll give more info. Gas system length is number one, because that determines the cycling pressure that you'll be able to build. Dwell Time is second, because that determines how long that cycling pressure will affect the BCG. THEN, it's determining gas port diameter, and barrel construction is the big thing that you need to pay attention to, in order to figure out a workable gas port diameter.
  14. It's decently messy to learn that stuff from what goes wrong, what goes right, and what it takes to make it work. First, you have to know what works, then you apply basic engine math to the gas port - calculating a bore cylinder size, for bore and stroke. You need the same cylinder volume to make the gun work right - as one that works, in another example. The big thing is the different gas journal sizes, and figuring it out for those. She's out all the time when nobody is here. She's just a scared freak when people come over...
  15. I really don't know shiit... She tells me everything, and I just post what she says... Fuckin' CAT YODA FOR GUNS, right here.
  16. Here's that Magic 6.8 round that so many Army Generals were spouting so much shiit about, years ago, in briefings, echo'd to the press. This is what's they hedged all their bets on - when they didn't know a damn thing about what they were talking about, back then. This is the cartridge...

  17. The science behind it was all figured out in everything that Eugene Morrison Stoner devised in the mid 1950's. He did the science. These days, it's all about the math. Nothing more. Know your math... ..and apply your math to the problems...
  18. Please, brothers - discuss... https://gatdaily.com/the-protection-of-lawful-commerce-in-arms-act/ By Caleb Giddings January 22, 2021 With Wednesday’s inauguration of President Joe Biden, gun rights activists and firearms enthusiasts alike are rightly concerned about gun control legislation. While those are legitimate concerns, there’s an existing law you may not have heard of, and it’s a law that President Biden favors overturning: The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. What is the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act? In layman’s terms, the Act, often referred to as the PLCAA provides the same liability shield to firearms manufacturers and retailers that Ford or a Ford dealer would get. For example: if a person gets drunk, hops in their Ford Mustang and kills someone, Ford isn’t liable for that because the drunk person was committing a crime and using their product incorrectly/illegally. Up until 2005, gun companies didn’t have that sort of protection. When PLCAA passed in 2005, it provided a legal shield for manufacturers and retailers against lawsuits stemming from criminal or negligent use of their products. How it works The PLCAA doesn’t stop people from suing gun companies. Let’s construct a fictional narrative to explain this. Let’s say there’s a mass shooting, and the shooter uses a BlastoMatic 9000. The families of the victims get together and sue BlastoMatic. BlastoMatic’s lawyers file a motion to have the suit dismissed because of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. A judge then decides if PLCAA applies in this instance, and rules accordingly. There have been lawsuits tossed because of PLCAA, notably in 2010 and 2012; however other suits have been allowed to continue. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act is specifically designed to protect manufacturers and dealers from civil liability actions stemming from criminal or unlawful misuse of their products. “Criminal or unlawful misuse” is the key phrase, because as you’ll see, not all uses of firearms or ammunition are covered. What’s not covered Specifically not covered in PLCAA is negligence or criminal acts on the part of the firearms industry company. For example, in 2016 a gun store in Missouri settled a lawsuit for $2.2 Million dollars because they had sold a gun to a woman with a mental disorder. The judge ruled that PLCAA didn’t apply because the store should not have made the sale. This is referred to as “negligent entrustment,” and occurs when an industry company sells or transfers guns or ammo to someone that they clearly shouldn’t. Manufacturers and dealers can be held liable if they commit negligent entrustment, or if they commit negligence per se. Why it matters You may be thinking “why should I care about this law? I’m not an FFL, I’m not a manufacturer or a retailer.” You’re right, you’re not. However, the whole reason that NRA and NSSF lobbied for this law was because the firearms industry was being targeted by frivolous lawsuits funded by the deep pockets of gun grabbers. The policy goal of these lawsuits was to cause “death by a thousand cuts” according to then HUD Secretary, now Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo. If you can’t get gun laws passed in Congress, just sue them until it’s prohibitive to do business. Joe Biden and you President Biden has repeatedly stated he’s in favor of repealing PLCAA, and now he has the means to do that. It will be a tough road, since the law passed with broad bipartisan support in 2005. But the political landscape has changed a lot since then, and then Senator Biden was one of the 19 votes against the bill. Fortunately, PLCAA can only be repealed by an act of Congress, or the Supreme Court overturning it. Be on guard We’re writing this article specifically because PLCAA isn’t a well-known law, and a repeal would be disastrous to our community. But because it’s not a well-known or well understood law, an attempted repeal won’t get people writing angry letters to their Representatives and Senators. So if you see this, share it. Educate your friends. Get them ready to write those angry letters.
  19. I'm okay with pants, for that one... ❤️
  20. If it goes - you'll have to extract the gun oil from my skin...
  21. Trigger, shot glasses, and gun oil, brother... I can rub myself down with the gun oil, travel and drink out of the shot glasses, and show up schmammered at your door with the trigger... We can wash the shot glasses out...
  22. GREAT news, man! I love it! I'm the gas-port-diameter whisperer...
  23. Regular old AR15 Rifle Recoil System will be perfect in that gun.
  24. They don't need to be deleted - not at all. Just start a separate thread on the issues that YOU are having, and don't high-jack this guy's thread with the problems in your gun. Let's solve THIS GUY'S gun issue - he's here, and responding with details that we ask. This thread isn't about YOUR gun issue - just his... I'm "interrupting" right here, so other people don't get in here and start diagnosing YOUR gun issues... Just start a thread on your own gun issues...
  25. @billymagg - he stated it clearly, earlier...
