@billymagg - he stated it clearly, earlier...

Hey @billymagg - start posting the problems that YOU are having, in a completely different thread than this guy's thread. Let's not muddy the waters here. This guy is here, with a problem - and it's not your problem. Put your problem in a new thread that you make, and just spill your beans - there. That just makes sense. Right?...

Let me know what he plans for a barrel and barrel length, and I'll provide the recommendation on the recoil system, based on that stuff.

Been workin' with them for awhile - you just gave me the edge to put my "proof" in there. You provided the "angle of the dangle" and I seized the opportunity...

OH MY GOD!!! THAT'S JESSICA RABBIT!!! You bringing her WITH YOU on the next round, brother?!!?

Bet they drilled that gas port diameter UP...

Since you're new, and this is your first post - check out THIS section... There's a ton of information for you in here: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/65-308-ar-what-you-need-to-know/

I hope they send me my cut, like they promised...

I bent one, and so did a buddy. We're not exactly running factory ammo, either. That's why I switched everything over to the solid pins. The cotter pins are spares in the box, in case I break a solid pin, and am waiting for another to come in.

HAHA!!! That's Whistlin'Diesel, right there. He bought that Hellcat just to destroy it. Check him out on YT...

Indeed, my good man. There's some force when that thing opens up. Great score, brother!

Common rifle buffer for .308ARs, but the receiver extension depth is about an inch TOO deep. Internal depth for a rifle receiver extension should be 9 11/16". Please re-verify that number, and make sure it's internal depth, and not overall length... The earlier mention of the spring is correct - wrong one. Armalite EA1095 spring will be the one to use, and solve that issue quickly. BCG weight... BCG weight is reciprocating mass, just like buffer weight is. It's weight, sitting there, that had to control the force of the .308 Win cartridge, and cycle a gas operated gun. Normal full-mass .308AR BCGs are around 18.87 ounces (Fulton Armory .308AR chromed BCG is that example). Though yout buffer weight is correct (close to 5.4oz), you have effectively taken 6 ounces out of that reciprocating mass, by using that lightweight 12-ish oz BCG. That's a cycling issue, right there. Now, you can fix this quickly, and keep using the Ti BCG in your gun, but you're gonna need one of the 10oz rifle buffers from Slash (www.heavybuffers.com). That will get that weight back into the reciprocating mass, that you need to be there. This isn't a Race Gun - Standard parts will work fine, at standard "specs" - for lack of a better term. Using "specs" in a sentence with ".308ARs" is an oxymoron... Fancy lightweight parts are just going to complicate the process of reliability, unless you're using this gun to make money on the professional 3-Gun circuit...

Cease Fire! Cease Fire! Cease Fire!!! @DNP @SmoothAction @AZMan... I can't make those dates, for sandtime...

Next trip, according to a phonecall from @AZMan tonight, the dates are 19~21 Feb. Friday to Sunday. Sand Time again. If I can't get the 250R engine done by then, I'll take the LTR. I like jumping that thing WAY MORE BETTER anyway. I'll huck that fucker off anything you guys point at... @DNP - Sand. 19~21 Feb, brother. Grab a bike. @SmoothAction - get a flight, brother... Dan has ALOT of guys coming, I'll wrangle the local guys into this one, too, and get a good big trip out of this one. Replacing all the coolant lines on one guy's rig tomorrow.

That's gonna be sweet, brother - right at the later part of sunset... I happen to have a particular Eskimo Brother-From-Another-Mother, that could probably play this on his guitar... @SmoothAction Next trip, according to a phonecall from @AZMan tonight, the dates are 19~21 Feb.

Your room is always ready, brother. One last drive, right?... You even have a nice stash of ammo here already.

Graf and Sons has Hornady projectiles, .224" diameter, 55gr FMJs. For reloaders. It's 10 cents a piece, 250 for $25.09.

Yep, that's who it was.

Bro, we're right around the corner from a total collapse, right now. When that happens, and it's ANTIFA and Anarchy everywhere, I'll be able to do anything I want...

Indeed, you did... GO smash.

In all sincerity, since we trashed Pete's thread here... this comes down to what I always stated. If you have an accurate gun - then it's always accurate. Barrel length doesn't matter, if it's a shorter barreled gun - it's accurate. After that, you just need to know the ballistics on the load, and the muzzle velocity out of that barrel - so you can make the right drop-at-distance choices. Accurate guns are always gonna be accurate, but if you wanna take something short-barreled to a longer distance, the only things stopping you are the limitations of the load, and whether you know your dope for that distance... I've done 12.5" Grendel at 850 yards, never tried to push it beyond that. That load goes subsonic at right after 900, and before 950... I'm about to get into some 12.5" 6 ARC at that same distance, and longer - as long as I can make it go...

You were Front Row at the Shoot that you missed last year, brother... I'm just sayin'...

That belongs to someone else... I can't do it... Still sealed, and I can't cut the band on the screw-top lid... It's been FOUR triggers now, so that's not happening...

@edgecrusher...

Accurate 2520 is one of their "Camp Perry powders", and it's all I used I use in the Grendel and 6ARC. It's a badass powder for heavies, too - the 5.56 and .308 Win heavies. I'm running the Accurate 2495 for my .308 Win heavies, and it's a beast on those 178s. I'm sitting on 11lbs of it right now, got lucky awhile ago - or I'd be all over this one. Good heads-up, man - really good.
