GunBroker, honestly. Just wait for one to pop up. I've been here 10 years, and seen them here for sale exactly 4 times. I got that last one, 4th one. They're rare now, because Daniel Defense discontinued them 5 or 6 years ago. Once I finally got lucky on one, it took two weeks for it to turn into this: WATCH OUT for Airsoft re-manufacturers. That's not a real DD Lite Rail, and won't be near as strong as one. Good luck on the hunt.

You knocked it outta the park, man - especially for a first job! Very well done!

^^^ That's it, right there. That, my friend, is the "dwell time." How long you give the gas to act on the BCG. Gas port location to the crown of the barrel. If it has more time to build, before it gets to the gas port, it's usually a softer shooter. That's gas system length. How long you give the gas to build/dissipate, BEFORE it can act on the BCG. Example - rifle length gas, versus carbine length gas. That carbine gas system will have a sharper "felt recoil."

Seriously, man? We think it killed Angel...

Don't eat this, either - we know what it did to Angel...

You are not right, brother... I'm just sayin'...

Give up some of the details on how you're making this JP buffer - heavier. It'll help us better understand this system, and tweak it in the future.

On another note, Primary Arms "exceeds course standards" once again. My original tracking on that red dot stated it would show up on Thursday - tomorrow. It actually got here yesterday (Tuesday). I mounted it up last night. Next thing is the paint. This pic sucks...

This is a very, VERY valid point... I need to work on that, something fierce. That is my major shortcoming in this game...

I got you covered on that.

Hit my last post in your intro thread - make the buffer heavier, that changes ejection pattern, and cuts down BCG speed - which is what's denting the case mouths.

Make that buffer heavier, and it'll change the ejection pattern more rearward. It'll cut down on the dented case mouths, too.

One thing to say here, Steve - please don't leave Cali, and drag your Cali politics to Houston. I hope you don't. Houston is a trainwreck with liberal politics now, with all the Cali transplants - that left what they were sick of, only to transform it into what they left in the first place. Those idiots should have just stayed in place, and imploded. I hope that isn't you, and I hope you left for great reasons. Just don't drag liberal politics with you, and then try to transform the place-you-left into the place-you-thought-was-paradise. That only fuks up the place you arrived at. In my 12 years in Washington State (1992~2004), I watched it turn from Paradise, into a Political-Shiithole that's completely fucked up. Liberal Politics did that to that state. Most of the people that fucked up Washington - were fleeing California... In my 5 years overall in Cali - same thing. Mid-to-Late '80s, Cali was Paradise. When I left in '91, it was turning. Hard. So many of you flee your homestate, because of - whatever. Don't drag what you didn't like, to the new place. Houston is already a wasteland, as far as that goes. Sorry for the rant. I'm tired of seeing this country destroyed, by liberal mindsets that spread. If that's not you - then disregard.

Are you reloading or not? That case mouth dent is very minor, and doesn't affect a reloader, not in the least.

Since it's May 2020 now - I can honestly say that I've known him and spoken with him for 10 solid years now. I love that guy. I first started talking to him in May 2010, when the Battle Arms Development BAD-ASS Ambi Safety was first released. He is truly a First-Class Act, and beyond that. He took me to SHOT Show in 2014. I have alot of respect for alot of people in the firearms industry, but I have no higher respect for anyone else in the firearms industry than him. He's the top of my list, and a wonderful person, hard worker, and hell of an interpreneur. Mad respect for Roger.

They're all rescues. Every one. And they're all a$sholes. Fits my personality. Plus, I can't leave a dog for a week, but I can leave a cat. Pile up food, set out waterbowls, make sure there's enough cat-shiit-gravel for them, and just FUK 'EM. They'll be fine when I get back. And, they don't give a shiit if I come back, unless they ran out of something that I mentioned above. I did life with the 105lb Rott sleeping on top of my chest, year-old asshead, strong as fuk. "Pup," they say he was. That fucker was stronger than me, and sleeping was like a fucking Jiu-Jitsu fight every night.

With the amount of JP Race Gun Parts in this build, the best bet for diagnosing what's going on with your gun might be a real telephone call to a tech at JP Enterprises...

My sentiments, exactly.

That's a Race Gun that you built, with a shiit-ton of complicated Race Gun Parts. You complicated shiit with complicated shiit. This won't be easy. If you're denting brass, it's hitting the brass deflector HARD, and denting the brass. Overgassed. If you're ejecting at 1 and 2 - many say that's a sign of overgassed. I don't give a shiit where my brass ejects, as long as it gets out of the gun everytime. But, if it's damaging brass... ...do you reload? Yes = that could be an issue. No = the gun is cycling, getting brass out, and maybe beating up internal parts over the long run. Your call.

That's Roger - formerly of Battle Arms Development. All his design, and company. Roger shall never be spoken of in other than Reverent Terms. He's amazing.

Exactly. These rat-bastard twin black tiger cats are pushing my limits. They're 9 months old now, and bigger than "full-sized cats." And, they're assholes. TactiCat still smacks them around, but they're pushing his buttons, too. Complete jackasses. They were fucking up the other day, and got the electric leaf blower blasted at them. Fukheads.

That's what I get for not reading down to the bottom of the thread, before replying. Amazing little girl, Cliff. Wrapped up like a little burrito - get her home soon.

True Double-Feeds are ALWAYS a magazine issue. Nothing else. Either feed lip problems or too much spring pressure, but Double-Feeds are magazine related, only. That's a"Bolt-Over-Ride" - and it's the worst Double-Feed to clear. It sucks more than anything else out there, to clear. I've seen 'em, lived with them - and it still comes back to a true Double-Feed - which was caused by the magazine. Bolt-Overs suck. I have a simple way to clear them.

That's not true, brother. Longer barrels don't necessarily need larger gas ports, and barrel length really doesn't have anything to do with it. Dwell Time and Gas Block Journal Size directly affect gas port size, though. Dwell Time is the larger factor, then journal size, but they're both very, very important in determining gas port diameter. Caliber/cartridge power is 3rd on the list, and important. Ever seen a 16" barrel with a 0.105" gas port? I have, and I know that's the only way that particular barrel will ever run, properly.

I pulled my 8mm Mauser the same way - guy had it, never even unpacked it, and needed about $375 in service work to his rig. I traded him the rifle for the service work bill.
