I have that one on DVD - damn great ending to a Rambo Saga. Love it.

It's Stubborn Ignorance, brother. I refuse to give up grass, for the insane heat. Fuk the heat. I'll beat it one way or another, even if it cost me 10k gallons a month... @DNP knows my "Fetish for Arizona Grass" pretty well... It goes WAY deep with me...

That was badass, but I can't stand the typo in the title of the link. There's not FAMPTON singer anywhere. Yes, Alex, I'll take FRAMPTON for $1,000. *** Not on you Mike- the guy that posted that was an idiot. That doesn't detract from how badass is it, though...

I hear ya, Nick. Can't wait to see you again, too... I cut that shaggy fuckin' lawn today, and this pic is for @Armed Eye Doc...

Au Contraire, Mon Frere... It's time to plant my Summer Grass now, so I have a lush, green lawn throughout the summer... Rye in the Winter ("winter grass") and Bermuda in the Summer (that's my "summer grass"). I've got it going on down here in the heat, for the grass, brother... Over-seeding is where it's at.

Get after him, Mike!

I have grass, brother - and that shiit is HARD to keep up out here in the desert! Hold on, I'll get you a pic - in the middle of the night... You just wait for it... Flash on the cam, at 11pm here, didn't work. I had to turn the flash off and break out the torch. I have grass, fukker... You have to be a Badass, or Stupid, to have grass in the desert. I don't know what I am, yet, but it did great this winter. I think I'm a Stupid Badass... The Cactii are doing great, by the way - they say "Thanks for asking about us!" Oh, you see that grass there? It's in the foreground... 🤣

I did, too - in a way, man. I didn't cut the grass, so I need to get my ass up early in the morning and get that done. But, I DID load up 340 rounds of 178gr .308 Match loads. Had to put a dent in that pallet of brass that @dpete sent me, so I figured I better just stop bitchin' and get after it...

You've already asked this in two other threads - stick to those two threads, instead of spamming your question all over the board. It works out better like that. You might not get your immediate answers, right away, but you'll get them. Posting the same question in every thread you find, doesn't magically make information appear. Believe me, everyone on this board knows what you're looking for - and you have answers elsewhere. Thanks for listening.

Google is full of them. So are our site sponsors. You can probably click on the Ballistic Advantage advertiser banner and find something that fits what you're looking for. That will require effort on your part. Get to it.

VALID POINT!!!

That was a good call, long, too. Careful what you bitch about - I'll call you every single day...

That doesn't mean a single thing, until your barrel comes in, and you put the flange on that barrel right up against the upper, then screw that barrel nut down over the flange on that barrel. You are trying to figure this all out, without accounting for how thick that flange is, on your barrel, that you don't have yet.

Oh, mister... you just wait 'til you listen to that voicemail, after you didn't pick up...

Well played...

Despite all the shiit going on, across this country - Happy Easter, you group of Deplorables. Just got off the phone with Rene, and figured that posting this up is easier than calling the rest of you that I personally know. Stay with it, hang with it, deal with it - shiit is getting better...

^^^ Exactly.

Noveske KX-5. That's the Skinny Flaming Pig.

Good update, and good job, man. Yeah, those 4-40 set screws - you have to shorten the spring the same length as the screw, and if you force it all together, there will be so much spring pressure on the detent that you'll never get that takedown pin to move. Another side to that - if you feel it's really tough to get that takedown pin going - pull the spring, clip off another coil, and try it out. Still tight? Cut another coil, etc. I use 6-32 set screws, too. You just have to ream the hole size up a little, then tap it. If you have the 4-40 tap,you can just run it (tap) the standard hole straight away, no reaming required. We've been doing this for 10 years here for the takedown pin, before lowers were ever threaded for that. Aero was actually the first company to start offering that, and it was on their AR15 lowers.

Measure the length of your gas tube. That will tell you. If it's a tick over 15", then it's an AR15-based rifle gas tube. Check this section out, too - TONS of info in here: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/65-308-ar-what-you-need-to-know/

The gas block will be fine. It's already maxed out at 0.125". Stick a 1/4" wooden dowel down the barrel, so if you punch through too hard, you won't hit the rifling on the other side of the barrel. Slow drill speed, and light pressure.Let the bit eat,and do the work. You push too hard (apply too much pressure) or go too fast, you'll break the drill bit off in the barrel.

You caught that one faster than I thought you would...

I haven't tried this stuff yet, but I've researched it a few times. However... Alliant RL-15 (Reloder 15) is damn near an identical swap for Varget. Many years ago (after the Sandy Hook buying panic) Varget disappeared then, too. I switched to RL-15, and in several different loads, they were only 0.1gr apart.

On mine, it was the original Noveske KX-3, the fat one. There were zero other options back when I built this thing, just the old-school Flaming Pig. Tons of options now, seems like there are several companies making these kinds of muzzle devices. I can't see the other ones being much different, as far as what they do.

You ALWAYS take care of your customers! I'll be back whenever you're ready.
