    You need more, just let me know, brother. That Dillo Dust version will be your Def Leppard version...
  6. ^^^ That was MY SON... I had to raise him by myself, too, from 5 months old. Single-Parent Live Action, right there. FML.
  7. Amazing Little Angel, right there, man. Can't wait until she can come home. That's just awesome.
  8. There's an entire thread about all the testing that we did here, and the progress of the lube - I'll send you a PM about it.
  9. That is SO FUCKIN COOL!!! HELL YEAH TO THAT KID!!! MacAskill is a beast, man. He can do things that normal "mortals" can't even comprehend...
  10. More sensationalized bullshiit, is what it is... Thank You, MSM, for this... I fought those Africanized Bees, by the way, in Southern AZ, back in the 2004~2007 timeframe. They were seriously pissed off. I'm still here. They aren't. At least not the ones that tried to fuk with me. They're crispy, and done. I'm down for a fight with the Great Asian Murder Hornet. Bring the pain. Carry on.
  11. Asian Murder Hornets? Hey, check this out. https://www.foxnews.com/science/murder-hornet-kills-spain-man-report-says 'Murder hornet' kills Spain man, report says By Frank Miles | Fox News A man in northwest Spain, 54, died after being stung by a “murder hornet,” according to a report. The man from Villestro in Galicia was stung in the eyebrow by an Asian giant hornet while tending to a wasp nest close to a beehive he owned. ASIA'S 'MURDER HORNET' LANDS IN US FOR FIRST TIME The deadly insects from Asia were first spotted last weekend in Washington state. Measuring up to 2 inches long, the world’s largest hornets have been known to wipe out bee colonies within hours: The big bugs decapitate entire hives of honeybees, and that crucial food pollinator is already in big trouble. The hornet can kill up to 50 people a year in Japan, The New York Times reported. Such reports have whipped up a national panic that may lead to more “needless” damage to those essential insect populations, the experts warned. FILE - In this April 23, 2020, photo provided by the Washington State Department of Agriculture, a researcher holds a dead Asian giant hornet in Blaine, Wash. (Karla Salp/Washington State Department of Agriculture via AP) “Millions and millions of innocent native insects are going to die as a result of this,” Dr. Doug Yanega, a professor of entomology at the University of California, Riverside, told the Los Angeles Times. “Folks in China, Korea and Japan have lived side by side with these hornets for hundreds of years, and it has not caused the collapse of human society there. My colleagues in Japan, China and Korea are just rolling their eyes in disbelief at what kind of snowflakes we are.” Following the initial hornet sightings on May 2, the Washington State Department of Agriculture issued instructions on how to trap the hornets, stressing that so far, the hornets have been sighted only within the state. 'MURDER HORNETS' POSE RISK TO HONEY BEE POPULATIONS “There are no known sightings of Asian giant hornets anywhere else in the United States and trapping for them there will likely do more harm than good by catching native desirable insects. PLEASE DO NOT TRAP FOR ASIAN GIANT HORNETS IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON STATE,” the warning read. A man in northwest Spain, 54, died after being stung by a “murder hornet,” according to a report. (FILE) The concern for bees has stemmed from their role in the general ecosystem: Bees are responsible for pollinating approximately 75 percent of the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the United States, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Numerous bug experts told The Associated Press that what they call murder hornet “hype” reminds them of the 1970s public scare when Africanized honeybees, nicknamed “killer bees,” started moving north from South America. While these more aggressive bees did make it up to Texas and the Southwest, they didn’t live up to the horror-movie moniker. However, they also do kill people in rare situations.
  12. I use this for Engine Assembly Lube, and I also use it for lubing a new .308AR gun that I'm gonna shoot. About 6 years ago, I met my local Justice Brothers rep. After seeing the demonstration he laid out, I was sold, and tried it for myself. Worked wonders. After that, I found out that he was into guns, as I was, and started talking to him about using his products for breaking in new Large-Frame ARs... he was intrigued - and I found out that he spent 10 years on the US Shooting Team as a shot-gunner... Wow, how worlds collide. That conversation led to he and I working on a gun-specific formulation of lube. I think we/HE perfected it about 3 years ago. All this info is available in the new section to you - you just have to check it out. All the years of documentation, tests on this board - it all there, Cliff. @JBMatt, you rock, brother...
  13. I invest in brass, lead, primers, copper, and powder. When it's all said and done, and the end is near... I have WAY MORE than you, for anything than your bank statements say about you. You can tell me anything you want about you, and what you're "worth." Once all your shiit is frozen, and banks are done - what you say you have, vs. what I do have, right now, in my hands... Is the Rule Of Law. I own the land.
  14. And THAT... Is the REST of the Story...
  15. This is valuable information - and should be applied to all .308 AR parts as well. DPMS LR-308 based parts advertised as "AR-10," etc. Principle #1: Don't trust retellers, get hold of the original sources. Retailers/"Retellers" - don't know what they fuk they're talking about, or selling - and they don't know the differences between all the parts, because they're stupid, and only after money. I need to use this, and propose a new Rule or Lesson, here... I think it should be a Lesson. There is only ONE Lesson here on this board, and it's Lesson 65b - "You Snooze, You Lose..." Don't wait too long for that part that's in stock, or that gun that you want - you wait, it's gone. Lesson 65b. The way Eric told it, I think the new "rule" or "lesson" should be the new "principal" here on the board... Principle #1: Don't trust retellers, get hold of the original sources. What you see online, specs you find, details listed - are usually bullshiit. Sellers don't care, they move product. They don't care that their ads are wrong, they're selling to whomever is buying, usually the uneducated .308AR buyer. Wrong parts, don't work, can't figure out how my AR-10 doesn't work with all my AR-10 parts, - and it's an off brand cheap junk DPMS LR-308 pattern - loosely... in the first place... I love it. Principle #1. Don't trust retellers, get ahold of the original source...
  16. I blew that pin out as soon as I received my barrel. Gone. Knock that pin towards the INSIDE of the chamber. Outwards, IN. Hit that fucker hard, too. Brownell's BCGs are ToolCraft BCGs.

    I'll bet that was an awesome sight! Free food for that big guy!
  18. I torqued my barrel down in the upper, and got a measurement of 10.400" from the center of the gas port to the center of the cam pin cutout. Every gas tube made is another 0.600" longer, from the center of the gas port in the gas tube, to the end of the gas tube. That gave me 11.000" on the money for the perfect gas tube. We'll see how perfect I got that, once the tube gets here.
  19. So, I took the gas block back off tonight to check everything out. For those that have this barrel, I went with one of the smallest set-screw 0.750" gas blocks that I could find, and it's a KAK low profile block, purchased from Primary Arms. OAL on the block is 15/16" long. That worked for what I wanted, which was to keep both set screws on the 0.750" portion of that barrel - those with the barrel know what I'm talking about, due to the gas-piston-designed gas port location. I dimpled both set screw witness marks, for future. Once the White Oak gas tube comes in, it's a shooter. Gas port diameter in my barrel is 0.070". We'll see if that works, but my dwell time on this barrel is 3.500". For those that bought these SIG 716 barrels, and haven't built the guns yet - measure, measure, measure. The only place you'll be able to purchase a gas tube will be from White Oak. Once mine comes in, I'll confirm, but I triple-measured this thing with the barrel installed, then ordered a gas tube that's 11.000" long, AR-10 bend. Once it gets here, during the install, I'll get all the pics in here. I know when Jim was building his up, we talked in detail about gas tube length for this combination - and he ended up with an 11.000" gas tube measurement. I don't know why other people are reporting gas tube lengths that are different from that, other than just maybe, gas ports were drilled in all kinds of different locations on these barrels. Jim had one of the first, and I've got one of the last, out of that batch of 500 that CDNN had. Weird that we came up with the same number - but there are other numbers out there, too. All I can say is - measure, measure, measure.
  20. This is typically not how you'd run your weapon, everyday. The Heavy Lube recommendations are for breaking in new .308AR rifles. Break it in, make sure everything is mated and fully functional, break it down, and clean it up. After that, normal lube practices apply. You wouldn't break in a new engine rebuild with just a little bit of assembly lube in critical places, and nothing in the oil pan. Run new .308ARs heavy with lube, until you're positive that the function as they're supposed to - if they don't function as they're supposed to, at least you know it's now from a lack of lube on all those new, unmated, huge parts.

    Eagles are such a majestic, badass bird of prey. Amazing creatures.
  22. Yeah, that was me screwing up the Creed build you have, and the common FGMM .308 ammo. With the 1:8" twist in your barrel, try the heaviest projectile that you can find, in quality loaded ammo. Black Hills might end up being the source. The 147gr Hornady ELD-M projectile has worked miracles in my .260 Rem, and would do well in your 6.5C gun. I'm playing around with Hornady 143gr ELD-X projectiles now, but will have some info up on them in the future. I've heard that the 130 Bergers are pretty good in the 6.5C. I'll tell you, that Berger 185gr Juggernaut projo in the new .308 Win FGMM ammo is a BADASS round!...
  23. I'm doing one, on a WC barrel. That .243 Win was the tipping point. Why not build a 7mm-08 and a .358 Win, and have every cartridge that the .308 Win is the parent cartridge of... .308 Win, .338 Fed and .260 were already in the stable. 1/2 way there. The damn .243 did it. Can't stop with only two to go...
  24. Weird, isn't it... I have two that are setup almost identical, even the same brake on both. 16" .308 Winchester, and 16" .338 Fed. I SWEAR that .338 is a softer shooting gun than the .308 Win gun.
