I feel your pain, and I have all that frustration, too. Tools and boxes, and if I could sell them for what I've paid for them, I could buy 5 new houses with land, maybe a small jet, rent nightly hookers... I get it. Quality tools are worth the money, if your job is making money with those tools.

Nah, no dumbass in it, at all - but you'da found it out the first time you leaned into the bipod.

^^^ Alot of companies do that, with a cost that's not as much.

IMHO, if it gets out of the gun, every single time, it's no big deal. However, if you want to change that ejection pattern - that's buffer weight, just like you thought, or a heavier spring. Sprinco Red spring. Either one will do it. The spring is cheaper, brother. you also have adjustable gas - put another 1/2 turn in it and see what happens, go 3 turns instead of 2.5 - THAT is the easiest - it's free, since you already have that capability.

That is HILARIOUS!!! That is fucked up, right there...

I have an old clamshell setup for AR15s, and 10 years ago, I was searching for one for .308ARs. The biggest problem is that the receivers are so different, so it's tough to make an all-around clamshell that would fit them all. I switched over to Geissele Reaction Rods years ago, because of that. They're far superior, but cost $$$ unless you catch a Geissele sale on them. Brownells make a very similar product, and it's much cheaper in price.

This is pretty cool, and I didn't know it - I guess the official name of the wood is Amboyna Burl. I just picked that block of wood because it looked badass - well, actually Greg picked it for me... I click over to Joe's main page, and he's got info on his "Rare and Unique" woods, and the damn Amboyna Burl is the third one down his list. It didn't cost me this much a decade ago, but I still think it was around (or a little over) $150. Pretty damn cool. https://classicsingleaction.com/rare-woods

That's one hell of a great looking build, man! That bipod is on there backwards, though - as soon as you try to load that bipod, the legs will fold on you. Flip that sucker around.

But, her ass will be phenomenal when I wear it as a hat.

Holy Shiit, my Kimber Desert Warrior is famous! @DNP pointed this out to me tonight. Joe Perkins made my custom grips, and I never knew it's on his website. That's badass. I had these made in 2011 or 2012 - whenever the second trip out here was, that I met up with @edgecrusher - on his second trip out that we linked up on, I went to Tombstone with him and fam, and Big Mike, for a Cowboy Action Shoot. That's when Greg peer-pressured the fuk outta me to get this piece of wood from Joe Perkins, and make it into grips for this gun... That's the pic from his website - it's right here, just scroll down to number 169 in this gallery... https://classicsingleaction.com/gallery?start=40 Awesome find, Dirk!!!

Now THAT is something that I need. Well done, RA, you've won the thread so far, man. Well fuckin' done.

Effie Sue Washington, on the media... Her video on Trayvon was pretty epic, but YT yanked it...

He has a DPMS G2 (not the DPMS LR-308 original platform), and I'm betting that the K he has in his serial number isn't at the very end.

Here's mine, to add to the discussion - I bought this DPMS LR-308 stripped lower in Jan or Feb of 2010.

Here's a great example - they blurred out the serial, but left the K to prove it's a stripped lower:

Since Remington killed off DPMS, all the historical links from DPMS are now gone. If they weren't, I'd give you a direct link to the DPMS FAQ, that specifically states that information, about the K and the end of the serial number.

Post a pic of your serial number, with the K in it. You can delete part of it, but leave the K in there. All DPMS LR-308 stripped lower receivers had a K at the end of the serial number. Last digit. You're talking Gen 2, as well, so who knows what they did with that platform. The discussion and clarification was about the original LR-308 stripped lower receivers. I'd still like to see the K at the end of your serial number...

If the original hosted image is still there - it's fine. You can find a pic from anywhere on the web, copy the link to it, post that link - and your image will always be here on the board. Until someone deletes the picture that you linked to. That's what happened when you : You had linked an image - then you deleted the original image. Then the link to the now-deleted image is dead...

It was linking to an image, Mack - then you deleted the image that was linked... You posted a link to an image. When you copy the image and paste it, that won't happen. Left click, copy image - move over here, left click, paste image. Done deal. No links to fail.

DAMNIT@Q@@!!!

Damn Shepp - that thing is BADASS!!!

Right on, Mike! Awesome pup!

This one, right here:

That lump right there is your problem. Cut out another 0.010" and clearance that thing, all the way up. I don't machine these things, but I work with precision parts all the time - that's easy to see, right there. From that lump upwards, the lower needs machined.

^^^ I know that WELL. I recognized it right away, too - it was a Blonde, getting ready to feed on a Bear. I know I've given due-diligence to the warnings about a real redhead - they're fucking DANGEROUS. But a real redhead doesn't have shiit on a psycho Blonde. Not in the least.
