  1. Gas pressure - not enough of it. Describe the recoil system details and the gas systems details again... Your gas tube is long enough, I can see that in the pic you posted...
  2. Got lucky today and found a bulk box of 1k Berry's 9mm 100-grain round nose hollow-base projectiles for $92, sitting on the bottom shelf at Cabela's. Arm Or Ally currently has Hornady bulk .224 55-grain FMJ w/ cannelure for $140. Grabbed those, too. Searched forever tonight for .30 cal Hornady 178 ELD-X projectiles and 225 ELD-M projectiles, without luck.
  3. Mag catch. First thing to look at. Armalite AR-10 that you have?
  4. Here's the online version of that article that I stated in the opening post - THAT issue of RECOIL had this article in it... https://www.recoilweb.com/6mm-arc-long-range-in-a-small-package-with-the-lantac-6arc-164753.html?utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Read+the+Review+-+-+See+the+Results&utm_content=Forecasting+a+Long+Range+New+Year+|+Ammunition+Deals+for+Today&utm_campaign=Recoil+Newsletter+-+01/07/21&_bta_tid=32370530615476406989167512103511622481302464166724552578172466252560957639686339783339058654357442900746
  5. No Prob - even if we have to hire a Sherpa!... Thank God it's not a 440 - THOSE things are thirsty!!!...
  6. DAMN, LARRY!!!
  7. If it's a modern variable power optic, most companies build it with the eye relief around 3.5" from the end of the scope. I initially set all mine up so the end of the scope (eyepiece) is right at the end of the upper receiver. Works for me, whether on a collapsible stock, or a fixed stock. Setting one of these up, sight in on something 100 yards away, highest power, and set the parallax setting to 100 yards. THEN, you adjust the focus on the scope. This "zero's" your parallax knob, so it's accurate at it's other settings. Density Altitude plays a big role in how accurate it is, but it'll be pretty good for the most part. Example: Another example - 6 ARC on top, .224 Valk on bottom:
  8. ^^^ That came from NewsMax.com. If you guys aren't watching NewsMax, then you're missing out. Fox News abandoned Conservatives, with this last election - but NewsMax didn't.
  9. https://www.newsmax.com/us/nra-guns/2021/01/15/id/1005836/ Friday January 15, 2021 NRA Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, 'Dumping' NY for Texas The National Rifle Association announced Friday it has filed for bankruptcy and will seek to incorporate the nation’s most politically influential gun-rights group in Texas instead of New York. The announcement made on the NRA's website comes months after New York’s attorney general sued the organization over claims that top executives illegally diverted tens of millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures. The coronavirus pandemic has also upended the NRA, which last year laid off dozens of employees, canceled its national convention and scuttled fundraising. Still, the NRA claimed in announcing the move that the organization was “in its strongest financial condition in years.” The NRA said it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Dallas federal court. “The move will enable long-term, sustainable growth and ensure the NRA’s continued success as the nation’s leading advocate for constitutional freedom – free from the toxic political environment of New York,” the NRA said in a statement. “The plan can be summed up quite simply: We are DUMPING New York, and we are pursuing plans to reincorporate the NRA in Texas,” wrote NRA CEO and executive vice president Wayne LaPierre. He stressed in his note to members that “no major changes are expected to the NRA’s operations or workforce.” The gun-rights group boasts about 5 million members. Though headquartered in Virginia, the NRA was chartered as a nonprofit in New York in 1871 and is incorporated in the state. Last year, New York Attorney General Letitia James said that her state was seeking to dissolve the NRA altogether. A suit contended that its leadership had shifted around some $64 million for personal use. “The NRA’s influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets,” James said in August, as recounted by CNBC in its report on the voluntary bankruptcy filing. “The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse, which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA, because no organization is above the law." In addition to dissolving the gun group, James wants the court to order past and current execs to pay restitution, the business news network noted. © Copyright 2021 The Associated Press.

  10. ^^^ There's something else going on there, and it's not "under-gassed." Midlength gas tubes are 11.750" long. Armalite AR-10 "Carbine" gas tubes are 12 1/16" long... Longer than AR15 "midlength" gas tubes... The Wilson Intermediate gas system is a brand new animal, for everyone, at 13.250" long. If they "shrunk" the gas tube length, stating it's under-gassed at 13.25" - then there wasn't enough dwell time in that barrel config. Gas port diameter needed to go up, on that 13.25" gas tube, to make it run right. Or, keep the same barrel gas port diameter, and shorten the gas tube... UP the dwell time to make the pressure needed... There's more to that story, and I wish I had both barrel configs, to see what it really is... Someone's not being told the truth, here...
  11. You have 2, I have 5. All "rescues" in the real sense. Motherfuckers make me wanna scream sometimes, too. Assheads.
  12. When I was 32, I was bangin' a 21 year old Blonde bartender. Her name was Brianne, but to everyone, family included, she was "Breezy". Everytime someone states that, there's where my mind goes... Random Topic Thread, you know.
  13. That's YOUR job, brother, not mine... I've got Bitchy Cat - who seems to LOVE you... She's enough of that attitude...
  14. BITCH!!!
  15. OH YOU INSTIGATOR!!!!
  16. I LOVE your dirty hands. Turns me on. Working men are HAWT!!! ❤️
  17. H110 doesn't surprise me for this round. Accurate 1680 and IMR 3031 would work well, too. I'm DYIN' here on the vine to work up some load development for this fucker. You fucker. Any powder that works for .300BLK or M1 .30 Carbine is gonna be a stellar performer in this cartridge. Fatass heavy projectile, low case capacity, goal for subsonic performance. Winner. Pistol-speed powders in a rifle case.
  18. Hey fuckers - I have some badass cats. TactiCat The DogFighter is the baddest feline I've ever owned, even badder than Bart, the orange tiger cat that use to whip my Rott's ass daily, circa 1995. These two fucking blackass tiger cats are gonna be a challenge - these fuckers are crazy. Just over a year old, and WAY bigger than TactiCat. AND, they're assholes.
  19. You're literally fucking me over with this thread, and you know it. You Rat Bastard.
  20. I've seen this myself, and can confirm it. I could not get a PSA upper to close and pin to an Aero M5 lower.
  21. This is more of a concealment setup, not tactical. Lo-pro armor, under a jacket or shirt, etc.
  22. PMags and SR25 mags are the same pattern. It's the Armalite AR-10 mags that are different. Well, not the newer AR-10 A-Model, which is made to take the PMags.
  23. Nobody likes a quitter. @Matt.Cross can almost field his own baseball team now.
  24. That whole process almost killed you, brother. That was nuts. Wow, wrong words to use in that, but you know what I mean. That was crazy.
  25. "The Strange Guy" that showed up in the 5-ton with the 1919 in the bed - that I KNEW, from working on his turbo'd shiit!... That got you, didn't it, brother. Now you want one...
