Speaking of slo-mo - this is my favorite slo-mo vid of all time.

You could have taken $60 off the price of that LaRue if you order it with the VFZ mounts - I'll never take mine off, and don't need the QD levers, so all my LaRue LT-158s cost me $160. I'm just sayin'...

That last pic ^^^ - isn't that a pic of some crazy IRA chick from back in the day?

Again, small baby steps. Picked up the lower today. The two items I was most worried about are in-hand - the lower, and the barrel. The Ultimate Upper Kit still hasn't shipped yet, so I won't be painting this coming weekend, that's for sure. I guess I should move my "worry" on to the ammo that hasn't shipped yet. Waiting on the first 200 rounds to ship. Done been paid for, was listed "in stock..."

@Lane, THAT is the one! We need to move that to the 80% Section, and pin it in there. That's a mag-catch height goldmine, right there.

No, there's another thread here somewhere, where we are only measuring bolt catch height on 80%'s, compared to production lowers. That's not the one. It's probably not a pinned thread - but I swore I asked for that thread to be pinned, after everything shook out. @Lane will probably know exactly which thread it is.

Because (#1) there's NO standard for the Large Frame AR, like there is the for Small Frame AR (The MILSPEC TDP), and (#2) the mag catch slot on an 80% is already machined for you - by whomever you're buying that 80% lower from - and it's cut in the wrong place. It's too low. We have a pretty detailed thread here about this, and it's probably in the 80% section, on this board. I can't pinpoint and link that exact thread for you, but there's a very, very specific thread here just about this issue.

Once again, I love this. I live this.

By design, brother. By design. The pilots that are qualified to do that, and pull it off - they're BADASS, all the way down to the bone... You should check out some vids on the STOL C-130s, with the JATO jet-packs attached... I'm just sayin'...

Double feeds are a magazine issue. Every single time. Nothing else will cause a Double Feed. Ever.

LaRue LT-158

You are confused on the operation of this weapons platform, and you don't NEED a rifle recoil system for your rifle gas system,. I've posted about this in your other thread(s).

^^^ That MagPul Fixed Carbine Stock mounts to a Carbine Receiver Extension. (answering now, before the question comes) That's what I put on my Can Cannon. Love it, for that.

Yep, that was the Keeper. Very well done, brother.

If he's running a carbine buffer system, it's on a collapsible stock. To my knowledge, the only stock out there that will work on both receiver extensions is that PRS 3 that you bought. You're reading WAY to deep into a dilemna, that doesn't exist. You don't have to have a Rifle recoil system on a gun with a Rifle gas system. Read this, please. It's directly FOR you, but it's for US, too. Read it, soak it in, and we'll have less questions to answer, in the long run. Thanks in advance, for reading that thread ALL the way through.

You coming to Phoenix, brother?

Something like a child that I didn't know that I had?...

My LaRue lower showed up at the shop, but I haven't had the time to get in there and get it yet. The upper kit and scope mount still haven't shipped yet. Glass is on the way. 200 rounds of Hornady Match still hasn't shipped yet, even though they stated that they had 116 boxes "in stock." 300 108gr projectiles sitting on the bench, no brass available yet, though. I ordered the upper kit "unassembled," so as soon as everything gets here, I'm mixing Cerakote and painting everything. THEN it goes together. Baby steps, men, baby steps. Still a little time left 'til November.

What are you talking about? M4 feedramps? M5, as in Aero Precision? If it's what I think you're talking about, it's mainly diameter. AR15 barrel extensions, and .308AR barrel extensions.

After reading that - and seeing the imbedded vid - I was right. That's a giant dick coming out of the top of his head.

Gas system and recoil system are independent of each other. As long as they're balanced, and work well together, you're okay. Rifle gas doesn't mean that you MUST use Rifle recoil. Hope that makes sense. The PRS 3 will mount to either a rifle receiver extension, or a carbine receiver extension - so, that particular stock doesn't care what it gets mounted to. It works for both.

RRA LAR-8 upper receivers are longer than DPMS and Armalite upper receivers - so their LAR-8 carry handles will be longer, too. Just like LAR-8 charging handles are longer. Not for use on a DPMS or Armalite pattern. For use on a RRA LAR-8. You'll find that out fast, if you buy one and mount it up.

^^^ Yep, you change ejection pattern with buffer weight, not gas pressure.

The gas system isn't dependent on the recoil system, not in the least. You can run Carbine Recoil systems on Rifle Gas systems. Hell, you can run Rifle Recoil systems on Pistol Gas systems, if you want. The importance is - the recoil system and the gas system have to be balanced, and work together (not against each other).

That's where the best ones come from, from personal accounts. My buddy (and his wife admitted it then) went two ridges over, found her, picked the ticks off her - and they were married shortly after. Personal account. Love them to death, too.
