Every 0.6 grains, you're hitting a node, and it's getting tighter when you're going up. That last one was 46.4grains. You think you can jump that, without hitting pressure signs, another 0.6gr, to 47.0 even? That'll be another accuracy node, if the pressure is safe.

This one right there is the keeper, brother. Single-digit SD, ES 20... That's the one. You're going 0.3 on the charge, narrow that down, either side of this one, and see if anything it better. Or not - that's pretty damn great, right there. You see any pressure signs with that load?

Closed to the public, these days. You had to sign up for the IPO, and then snuggle with him in 2012 - when he was Big Rob. I know Greg and I are in, we risked it back then. That's when Rob was built for comfort, not speed.

That is BADASS, brother!!! Bigtime envious of that day. Wonderful job!

Gas isn't a problem, at all, on the blowbacks. There's no gas tube feeding it backwards, into the action. All that shiit goes straight out the end of the barrel. Extended-latch charging handles do make these things easier to run, overall, though. Since BCM started making their own, I ditched their new design, and don't buy anymore of them. VLTOR still make the original BCM version though. My go-to charging handle these days is the Strike Industries extended. The things have been great so far. Once in awhile, I intentionally buy a standard CH and swap the PRI Combat Latch into it. That's a real winner, right there. I love that combo...

With all the horseshiit going on in this fucked up country right now, it's going to be pretty easy to forget about D-Day, June 6th, 1944. Let's not forget that, brothers. The Normandy Landings changed EVERYTHING about WWII. Forget your past, and you will relive your past.

Working on a baseboard heater there? Nice, man. I love people that fix their own stuff.

Yes, you are quite the dish. I'd love to have you back for a FallShoot. Wait, was that what you're talking about?...

I've got you covered on the body armor. The .338LM needs to come from @Robocop1051 If you're talking .338 Federal - then I've still got you covered.

We know that, brother. You need a vacation this coming Fall. I'm just sayin'... Jerk your ass back to sanity, in some way...

Once you buy one of the LaRue Ultimate Upper Kits, that "allows" you to buy a LaRue lower receiver - that makes your gun a complete LaRue rifle. There's no better way to go, and doing anything else would simply be foolish. As a matter of fact, you can buy LaRue lower receivers now - anybody. They're selling them to GenPop now.

You fuckers are relentless...

I know that, brother. Broke the 5th metacarpal, right hand, twice. Punch with the first two knuckles, not the side of the hand. No glancing blows. Painful lesson. Left and right 5th metatarsals both fractured, over time. Took motrin, didn't ruck for two weeks. "Metas" are in the hand and the foot, proper, not the phalanges. That's all the shiit sticking out from the hand and the foot, proper. Like cat whiskers.

My Right Inguinal Hernia was even better, that I suffered in a January skiing incident, and had to explain it to a SF Doc in September that year... He was LIVID!

#10. "Your tiny toe or finger is called a minimus." That one is bulshiit, too. That's either the 5th MetaCarpal (hand) or 5th MetaTarsal (foot). I've fucked myself up enough in this life to know what they're called, so I can accurately tell the ER Doc exactly what I fucked up. It shortens their "evaluation" before you get the care that you need. Trust me on this. I skipped the hospital "Triage" one time, and went straight to X-Ray. FUCKED MYSELF UP in a motocross "incident." Came up short on a double, and slammed myself. Broke the fuk out of my left clavicle - more than once. Bunch of other extraneous shiit, I did to Self, too. Track workers get me off the track, get into a buddy's truck (with help), head to Madigan Army Medical Hospital. About a 40 minute drive, from that MX track. PLENTY of time to check myself out - and find out I'm fucked up all over... Walk in, present ID Card, and state, "Multiple fractures, left clavicle, two medial left ribs dislocated from sternum, AC dislocation, and posterior dislocation of left shoulder..." I wasn't in there for 2 minutes, and someone called my name, and took me straight to X-Ray... The X-Ray tech was being a bitch, after I got shot, and I wanted to see what was going on - he's not allowed to show me. I pressured the punk a little, and he showed me the graphic - sure as shiit, broke that bastard twice, three-piece collarbone. FLM. That X-Ray Tech was gonna try to cut off a BRAND NEW Fox hooded sweatshirt, in order to get the radiation - "I'll kick your ass if you cut this hoodie, know that now..." Busted as I was, I muscled out of that thing, and layed on that damn table. Pics taken, info gleaned... Kiss my ass if you think you're cutting my day-old $60 hoodie, fucker... Get sent out of X-Ray, back to the waiting room... Get called in by one of the ER Docs, and he starts... "So, you THINK you have a broken clavicle, right?" No, Doc, I know I do, two breaks, three-piece magic clavicle. Two ribs sticking out of my sternum, AC separation, posterior dislocation of my left shoulder... That dude just about came UNGLUED!... "Who do you think that YOU are to tell me what injuries you have?!" Hey doc, check this out... I've already been to X-Ray... "HOW DID YOU GET IN TO X-RAY ALREADY?!!?" No idea, Doc, just walked up to the counter, told them what I had, THEY sent me to X-RAY. Not my fault... I felt like I was interrogated for a second, before I had to shut this guy down, and I did promptly. Explained what heppened, explained my background, explained why I told the counter-attendant what I did - and it just happened after that. He left me alone, with that - but he was a little rough in applying that fucking butterfly strap, for the clavicle bullshiit... The command got a written complaint about me, the following workday. I got called in - in a fucking shoulder velcro-sling fucking thing that I was cocooned in... and told them what happened. MX race was on a Sunday, I was in the office on Monday morning, to answer this ER Doc's complaint against me. How I skipped "hospital policies" and placed myself ahead of other in ER Triage, yada yada yada.... I didn't do any of that - I just told them what I did, how bad I fucked myself up - and they did the rest. The communication back to that ER Doc was pretty funny - they showed me what they sent him, and told him to never second-guess anybody from there that ends up in the ER, and explains their own injuries...

I knew one or three of them, but not the others. I have the explanation for 5, though. "The cry of a new born baby is called vagitus" Yeah, no kidding - because he WANTS BACK IN. After we're born, as Males, we spend the rest of our lives trying to get back in there. Thus endeth the sermon.

Good Dog!!! Well done. Why would you want to fuk with a police dog in the FIRST PLACE!...

They're "nesting" - and comfortable like that...

WAY TO GO BROTHER!!!! Zack HAS to be happy as hell about this!!! It "certifies" that HE IS RIGHT!!!

It's BCG speed - that thing is going so fast, and so hard from the power of that little stinger 5.7, that the disconnector can't even catch the hammer. Oh, make no mistake, it fully cycles that buffer all the way into the end of the receiver extension, and probably feels like it has some decent "kick" to it. That BCG is going so fast that the disconnector can't get ahold of the notch in that hammer and stop it. The hammer then follows the BCG, and when the BCG chambers the next round, the hammer is right there to let it fire. If you held the trigger to the rear after every shot (proper trigger follow-through), it still might do it once in awhile, but definitely not as often. Proper trigger follow-through would stop most of that doubling - but not all of it. Most of your doubles are probably coming from trigger discipline. I went through this with my .45AR. You need a WAY STIFFER recoil spring, and a WAY HEAVIER buffer. You haven't said a thing about the specs on those two items yet, though. Go rip up the Intro Section, and tell us about yourself. It's right here: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/

That thing, by description, isn't even up to handling the torque range of tightening a barrel nut, which is 30ft/lbs~80ft/lbs. Not dinging you in any way - just stating, the spec that they stated:

I know @Robocop1051 is gonna CRINGE, and HATE ME... but the CMMG Banshee system is pretty badass, for 9mm. "Delayed Blowback" operation, and that little fucker uses what looks like a standard AR15 BCG, complete with a rotating bolt. GPJohn built one, and we ran it a few weekends ago - and it ate every kind of ammo that we threw at it and into it. Even weakass steel-cased stuff. It's a good platform. Mag conversions available, so you convert your AR15 mags to run the 9mm ammo. This thing just didn't stop. Bring the wrath, Rob... I'll take the pain...

This is why you're building some weird shiit... the only explanation I can find...

I like your panache, and laud your stubbornness... I'm here, brother, when the walls come crashing down. We'll figure it all out, and get it running.
