This Lee Factory Crimp die is still listed as "backordered", but they put a new availability date on it- today was the day, Aug 14th... Now, they're saying it's gonna be available Aug 31st... This info just changed today, on their website. Just go ahead and order one. It's right here in my hand, now. Here's the newest info on it, on their website: https://leeprecision.com/factory-crimp-die-6mm-arc.html Maybe I "backordered" the only experimental one that they had, in existence?... @DayWalker needs to order one, just to find out...

Lee Factory Crimp Die for 6ARC showed up early - supposed to be Monday, but came in today, 3 days early. They completely changed this die, from previous patterns, and maybe they're changing them all. Time will tell. The crimp portion is free-floating inside the die body now, and the lock collar is a sweet billet aluminum piece - still with the locking o-ring, too. Looks nice. I could theoretically load up my first 50 pieces of brass from last weekend, and shoot handloads this Sunday - but I don't think I'm gonna push it. I'll grab 850 drop-data this Sunday, with the 150 remaining factory-loaded rounds I have, get out before the heat gets serious, and shoot some initial AA2520 reloads next weekend. Lee made some great changes on this one - I hope they do it on all of them. I won't replace what I have, but the new stuff is nice...

I agreed with you - everyone should have one of those, and many wish they do. At least the 10" of it. The diameter needs to go up to get deep into the "Crowd Pleaser" range - but I basically agree....

It's not gonna take long for the True Political FukTards to realize that they completely MISSED... President Trump making record-numbers of lower court appointments. This is the shot across their bow, where they all go, WTF?!!?... Then, they do this... Gavin Newsom and Kamala are both - guaranteed - doing this right now...

NICE, BROTHER!!!! HELL FUCKIN' YEAH, MAN!!! Those Anti-Constitution Gun-Law Writing Fuktards over there can SUCK IT!!!... More power to ya, brother - buy a million of them!...

This is good news, man.

Almost THIS much oil...

Man! THAT is a understatement!

Most .308ARs have the detent hole in the grip area, just so you know. Very, very few of them have the detent hole going in from the back, like AR15s. Very few. Spill the brand, so we know. I know you already stated DPMS - but a real DPMS has it going in from the grip area. You threw the AR-10 term around alot in your first post, too, and there's nothing about this thing that's Armalite, I'll bet. Terminology matters... It's more than a brand name - it's a pattern change...

I had to do this on my Matrix set that I got. My Matrix lower had the detent hole and spring going in from the back, not the grip area. Cut off a section of right-sized drill bit - the shank - to the right length. Dremel cut-off wheel. Seems that small drill bits are easy to break, but they're a real bitch to cut in two...

That was a good one, brother!!!

Exactly - and this ruling will apply to every state in the Wild, Wild West, too - every state that's under the 9th Circuit. That includes Hawaii. Mazie Hirono is gonna shiit herself. It won't take long for someone to push this in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Circuits, for the Mag-Ban East Coast states...

It's normal this morning - last night, it was WILD looking~! And, it wasn't Jamesons doing it, either, you bastards...

"Standard Magazines" - you know, those evil ones that hold more than 10 rounds... 9th Circus, surprisingly, ruled that the Cali magazine ban is unconstitutional, and goes against the 2nd Amendment. Quite shocking to see that decision come from the 9th Circus. NOW mags everywhere will REALLY be out of stock!!! https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-appeals-court-californias-ban-2nd-amendment

@Sisco

Hope that link helps...

You, now, are Number 5, here. If I've identified 4 previous, here, then it should be pretty obvious on the search terms. The link in my last post was a clue. That got by you, somehow. At any rate, here is the search history of that platform, here on this board. Happy reading. https://forum.308ar.com/search/?q=Gibbz Sorry about your luck, too - wish you'd researched it before you bought it. At this point, we can only start another tech thread, try to figure out what's fucked up -and try to fix it for you. From the previous threads - I don't think we identified the real issue. It's not a good design, I think is what we came up with. researching those previous threads I linked - that's a starting point. Sucks to be so glum about it - but that platform never performed - and I haven't seen anyone else come back in here - with proof - to show that it worked. You might be that guy, though...

Oh, dude, you're gonna be a HOOT! here - you can't hold your tongue!.... Which is actually a commendable trait, here - tell it like it is. You get There are no punches pulled here. It's either what they say it is, or we find out it's NOT what they said it was... That's just life, and it's not an easy world. Bulshiit won't last.

That's a Legit Side-Casualty to this thread, and it's still legit - because I started it in my own build thread. I DID mention that this thread was about MY BUILD, right, and not everyone else's 6 ARC that they dreamt up... MY GUN... Anyway - Skull Valley - That's my getaway plan. 1/2 my house will be IN a hill, not for bunker-purposes, but for temp-control. If I'm IN the ground, it's cooler. The bunker-purposes are just a bonus. I LIKE the tunnel-plan, brother. All the way.

I'm down with your "Nasty", brother...

Fucks going on with the board right now - everything just changed, into some "phone-looking-profile" shiit - on my home computer. WTF... 10:36pm, AZ time, 13 Aug. THis is bullshiit...

Anyone with any Hornady 6mm ARC questions, or information that they'd like to provide, should post it in this thread. If it gets bigger, it might become it's own section. For right now, let your mouth run right here on the 6 ARC... Let your hair down, girl, and just get after it... Run with scissors...

IF ANYONE HAS GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT 6 ARC, THAT I MAY HAVE ALREADY FOUND ABOUT, BY SHOOTING IT - I WELCOME YOUR GENERAL QUESTIONS, IN THIS THREAD, AS IT PERTAINS TO THE SPECIFIC GUN THAT I BUILT. IF YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT YOUR 6 ARC BUILD - THEN YOU GO, GIRL - AND START YOUR OWN THREAD ABOUT IT. MY BUILD THREAD DOESN'T HAVE A SINGLE THING TO DO WITH YOUR BUILD THREAD - YOU DO YOU - BUT YOU DO IT IN ANOTHER PLACE, THAT ISN'T HERE. STAND ON YOUR OWN MERITS - BUT YOU WON'T POST YOUR BUILD, AND YOUR CRAP - IN MY BUILD THREAD. I HOPE THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR.

Yes. Kinda. I feel guilty about you, so I'm changing my mind - you DID THIS to me. FUK!!! (yelled at myself). You're safe brother - John, you're good, brother.

DAMN! Butthurt!!! You guys wanna talk about what you found out with your 6 ARC? Start a fucking thread about it - where ever you think it's pertinent. My Gun Build Thread - about the gun I'm BUILDING - isn't that pertinent place. You figure it out, and plant it where you need to plant it... I'll be honest, and I'll be brutal - whatever YOUR gun is doing doesn't have a SINGLE THING to dowith what MY GUN is doing. Hate to be a dick - not really - but in MY build thread... I deal with MY problems. I don't deal with YOUR build problems, in MY Gun-Build Thread. Because - I didn't BUILD YOUR GUN. Start a new thread, 6 ARC guys... for your OWN shiit.
