Indeed, my brother... Indeed...

I love to see the Master Plan Of Instigation come full circle... You fuckers have been corrupted. I love it.

Answer was on Page 2...

Sure can, brother - Here it is:

@MikedaddyH, brother, I'd bet that you have more Glocks than I have ARs.

Opened that fella right up!!!

You have a very valid point, my good man...

Doc picked up the tab?...

That's a myth. Completely. Gas system and recoil system are completely independent of each other, but there MUST be a balance between the gas system and recoil system for the gun to function as it was designed. What went wrong was the lightass buffer, at 3.8oz. These things were designed from the ground up to run a buffer that weighed 5.4oz. My .260 Rem runs like a finely tuned F1 racecar. 20" rifle gas barrel, and I experimented with the 7.000" AR15 carbine extension and built my own heavy buffer. Sprinco Orange spring. It's a dream, and it's accurate as all hell - and it's rifle gas and carbine recoil. It works, because I built it adhering to the principles of what it takes to make one of these guns function properly. Did you even read that thread I linked in an earlier post?... It breaks everything down in excruciating detail...

Cancel the handguard order before it ships. Call them tomorrow morning, first thing, AZ-time, because that's where they're at. All Aero Precision M5 receivers are "DPMS High Profile." ALL GunTec large-frame rails are "DPMS Low Profile." Wrong handguard for the receivers you bought. Oh, and, Welcome Aboard.

Of course... as soon as I open up my mouth, it changes... FUK!

Well Gawd Dayum, the Weather-Guessers here actually nailed their prediction. I wish they would have messed this one up, but they didn't. FML.

It's deceptive. It looks like a Long Range Dream Come True - until you're in it. They best way I can describe so others can "feel it" is to pre-heat your oven to 325*, and when the buzzer goes off, open the oven door and stick your head in there...

That was way back when, around 2010, before I was "refined and polished..."

Please explain a little more. You trying to attach a pic rail to a carry handle?

I got tangled up in some shiit there, back in the day. Let it rip, too. A certain gun dealer decided to criticize some of the things I said, so I responded, well, how I respond when those things happen.

Whole bunch of Armalite parts, but for real - not even one whole gun, nor receivers... I know, it's crazy... I have managed to run 100% Armalite AR-10 internals in a DPMS-based set of receivers, though, and THAT THING runs like a Ninja Warrior...

Here's today's layout - those that have been here are familiar with it. Overall, looking out: Modded pic, 500 on the left, 850 on the right...

Well, I got out there at 0630, and got home at 1045. It was already 113* before I left out there, and.... DAMN! Was it was weird out there... Everything was different. I made and tested that 178 ELD-X load, and it was 50*, I was running the altitude for where I was (camp location) at 1390 feet, baro pressure was 29.80 in/Hg, and humidity was almost nothing. .308 Win load, badass to the bone, like a laser. 8.5 mils of drop at 850 yards, and I confirmed that the very next day after I finalized that load... Okay, so today... Fuckin' WEIRD. This thing was 7.0 mils of drop at 850 yards. I've never had a .308 Win load that will do that. At first, I dialed 8.5, and I was shooting way over the steel. I dialed it back to 0, and just started holding, until I was on target. Once 7.0 even was determined to be the magic hold, I dialed 7.0 mils, and whack after whack on the steel. Unreal for a .308 Win load. Weather - as soon as I figured that drop out: At the time right after shooting and re-doping it, it was 105*, baro was 28.38 in/Hg, altitude at the long-distance location is actually 1458 feet, and humidity was 22.6%. Just plugging weather into the calculator (alone, just the weather differences) brings the drop to 7.7mils at 850 yards. Play with the muzzle velocity (2530 fps when I made this load, weather data up top)... I mess with the muzzle velocity in the calculator, along with the weather changes, and it's 2630 fps to make 850 yards a 7.0 mil drop correction... The 18" Grendel was just as weird, but I didn't put the time into that one to figure it out. Eff it. I'll wait 'til it's cooler to mess with that.

We need to know - because when you ask, you'll mostly get "free-state" answers as advice - and some of that advice would land you in jail, in IL. That's the whole reason for the Intro Section - where you tell us about yourself, and don't leave pertinent details out... Like, where you live... Garbage in, garbage out. Hope that makes sense. We live it daily, here.

I think I posted that in the medical thread. Not sure, but pretty sure I did. Most expeditious manner of getting a casualty off the ground, up, and moving. Wil Willis is a genuine badass. Army Ranger, converted over (cross-branched) to be an Air Force PJ. Hardcore to the bone, that dude is. Bad Motherfucker.

^^^ Someone PLAYED that kid, and won...

VERY necessary info, for advice that you ask of, and receive. Hope you understand the reason for asking.

Leaving in 5 hours, to pit the 18" Grendel against the Mk11, at 500 and 850. Results will be posted here. It's supposed to be 117 here tomorrow, so I'm going out there early, and not staying long. SW Desert sucks in the summer, men.

It'll run with that. Feedback only helps defeat the other myths out there.
