Looks like paintball...

This is long, but read it - and ask any questions you have afterwards. This should pretty much spell it all out:

WTF...

That's awesome news, brother. Miracles, for real. One comment you made just draws me to comment, though... They trying to keep up with @Matt.Cross or something?!...

Keep quoting him, so he gets the notifications - that'll keep him coming back... Welcome back @jrtmasp

This is under your budget, and will DEFINITELY get it done. Call them, and find out when it's gonna be back in stock - keep in mind, they just expanded, and are moving into a new giant location, so some things are out of stock right now. They're way cool on the phone. WARNING - this is not a pencil-profile barrel. If your goal is really 800 yards from a .308 Win AR, this will get it done. https://www.ballisticadvantage.com/20-inch-308-gov-rifle-ss-premium-barrel.html

You don't build an accuracy rifle based on a pencil-profile barrel. Check this out - alot of the commenters in this video think that this means that barrel whip like this is okay for an accuracy barrel, but they be confused. Big time... Hunting? Cold bore shot is the most important? Yeah, I get it. Building an accurate gun, for distance, from a pencil barrel? Foolish. Since that's the goal, you need to research, and think hard about that pencil profile 20" barrel. I'm not dogging Faxon in the least, and never would - their 16" midlength 5.56 pencil barrel is the very heart of my own lightweight 5.56 build - and it's a great barrel. It's not for longer distance, though. If 800 yards is really your goal, then you need to make the choice of whether you want some super-lightweight gun, or if you want an accurate gun at 800 yards. It's kinds like the Machinist's Rules - you get options, but you need to pick what options you want. Pencil-profile barrels and 800 yards aren't really one of those things that are gonna go together, unless you wanna drop a major amount of coin to a custom barrel maker - and most of those guys will tell you that they won't build it for you, no matter what you wanna pay them - because they have an accuracy or MOA guarantee. You're trying to buy a new pet sloth, and train it to race greyhounds. Here's what I was talking about, with Machinist's:

THERE HE IS!!!

Well, I guess I answered my own question - it's in stock, and you can buy it here: https://www.primaryarms.com/strike-industries-collar-adjustable-gas-block This might turn into "The Rule..." The clock is ticking...

They released/teased that at SHOT 2019, but it still shows as out of stock on their website - did this thing ever launch, and get sold?

Your info, and your mods, would probably benefit all the Gibbz owners here, so pics of what you did would greatly help, both now and in the long run.

Double-posting this one here, too - The Gun Collective took over the CROM booth...

The Gun Collective takes over the booth...

Does the mag lock securely in the lower - won't fall out? Also, what brand is the lower? Sorry if you stated that already, and I missed it. EDIT - Damn, PSA lower. Know if it's one of the first ones, or a Gen 2? Or even that Gen 3 that's out now?...

AR-10 is a big Armalite, but SR15 is a small-framed Knight's Armament AR15. AR-10 and DPMS LR-308 models have the same-dimensioned charging handle. RRA LAR-8 charging handles are longer. Something's not right with the description you gave, because the same charging handle isn't gonna fit an AR-10 and an SR15. This is gonna be a case of: need pics to see what you're working with here, and - you'll need to call them and ask them what's up.

I sent them both a PM. They'll turn up.

To completely fix what it sounds like you're describing, you'll need to address all three things: gas tube length (Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube is what you need, measuring 12 1/16" long), punch up the gas port diameter if it's not already between 0.085"~0.090" for that 16" midlength gas barrel, and address the entire recoil system. That's the only guarantee that the gun is going to function reliably 100% of the time. That spring you listed doesn't even match any AR15 carbine spring specs.

^^^ THAT is my real, true Dream Girl right there. Damn. Way back when she had an orange thong... Yeah, she's the one. I'd pick her over Jodi Arias, anyday. Sorry, Jodi... Here we go. Brace yourselves...

Brother, if I'da seen her there, you'd see a pic of it, believe me. Now, on to the world of Olight again - hit this while it's hot. Check this thread:

Here's the intro link to the Olight Warrior X Pro light. Sale starts Jan 31st, so check it to see when it's active. That's Friday, fuckers. This is a badass light, and you can gun-mount it if you want. Sale price is $97.97 for the light only, but you're a fool if you don't bundle it, and get the new i5T light for $101.94 total. Just a dumbass, if you don't do that... I got a free i5T light, just for going to the SHOT preview, and it's a cool little (not available yet) thumb switch light. Spend the extra $4 and do the bundle... These links are listed as "VIP Exclusive" right now, so I hope they show. If they don't show, they should in Jan 31st - so check them then. If not, I'll update this, then, with the correct links. I already ordered two bundles... in FDE, of course... Light only: https://www.olightstore.com/warrior-x-pro.html Bundle: https://www.olightstore.com/bundle-warrior-x-pro-i5t.html Website: https://www.olightstore.com/

Loaded mag or empty mag? Sorry, I just caught this one. If you didn't already, try this test with empty mags. Just put an empty mag in, charge it, and see if it holds the BCG locked to the rear. No ammo in the mag.

Welcome aboard, and glad you "defected" here... What you went through - NZ is going through now. What you can offer here - and what NZ can offer - greatly impacts out future right here, in this country. No shiit. Glad to have you.

This shiit right here is pretty crazy, when you start to dig into the information that's out there right now. It's wild... I'm not saying it's not validated, not at all... I'm saying it's pretty fucking wild if any of this can be validated, and the info is looking pretty solid. THAT is scary... That specific company name, spelled correctly, has been pulled from the web. Completely.

Rob needs to shake him loose, and get him back here...

No way, brother...
