I'm not too worried about the Shockie, brother - whenever. When you do send it, make sure it's to my work. I don't want some dumbass delivery dipshiot dropping that on my front porch, only to change the entire life of a Porch Pirate overnight...

550 KFYI conservative radio here in Phx. James T. Harris had Republican Bob Thorpe on the show tonight. No way will the AZ House and Senate let this shiit through. We're safe for right now, as long as the R's hold the majority. The major influence in AZ on who gets elected - comes from all the people that move to AZ. More and more Libs are moving here, and bringing all their political baggage with them. All the AZ R's, according to Thorpe, have taken an oath to each other - remain strong 2A, squash everything Red Flag that even comes up, and never give up AZ Citizen's 2A Rights. Hopefully, they can always maintain the majority. Electors/Voters get off their asses and get out to vote, and we shouldn't ever have a problem. This latest stunt by the Southern AZ Dems was all Bloomberg money. Bribery, literally. "Campaign Contributions" is what it was veiled as. Far from it.

Don't forget to watch the credits in that vidlink, or you'll miss this hidden little gem... Here's those 12 Angry AZ Dems...

Courtesy of @MikedaddyH - The Rageaholic responds to this blatant "posturing" by these 12 Angry AZ Dems... and it's fucking EPIC.

That would be the last thing remaining - gas port diameter. Your gas tube is the proper length. Your recoil system is too weak to handle .308 Winchester recoil, the mass of a .308-sized BCG. There's a way to make your 7.000" internal depth receiver extension work, with a heavier buffer from an aftermarket company, combined with a spring from another aftermarket company - but those two things are going to cost you more money than just buying that Armalite kit, and paying shipping one time. The Armalite system is fool-proof - as well as idiot-proof. It's made in one place, one company, with the same materials every time, to the same tolerances and specs, and it just works. If you want the details of the other system - the buffer and spring - it's the KAK .308 heavy buffer that weighs 5.3oz, combined with the Sprinco Orange spring. That combo makes 7" receiver extensions (AR15 Carbine receiver extensions) work, when used on .308ARs. All that's left is gas port diameter.

Read this: I spent time putting that together, to get all the info in one place. It should explain everything, as far as balancing the two systems, why, how, etc.

That 0.875" is the diameter of the gas block journal, and the size of the gas block that you'd need to buy, if you were buying another. Gas block sizes (standard sizes) are 0.625", 0.750" 0.875", and 0.936". Yours is 875. Gas block journal size has a direct effect on gas port diameter size - two barrels made identical, say 18" midlength gas barrels, one with a 0.750" gas block journal, and one with the 0.875" gas block journal - the same-sized gas port is not going to work perfectly on both those barrels. It's a pressure that needs to be maintained for cyclic function. You change that pressure when you change the cylindrical volume of a gas port: make it smaller or larger - gas port size - or, make it deeper or more shallow - gas block journal size. For recoil - you need to balance the system, and if it's kicking you hard, it's not balanced. The first indication is that 3.8oz buffer weight, and that spring. The easiest, cheapest thing to do is buy the Armalite (real Armalite, not copies) AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension kit. That will SOLVE the recoil system. The next thing you need to do is determine the diameter of your gas port. Then drill it up, if it needs it. Buy a cheap digital vernier caliper from Harbor Freight, use numbered drill bits, there are numerous ways to determine gas port size. This is the recoil system that you need to be running on a .308AR: https://www.armalite.com/product/ar10rekit01-6-position-receiver-extension-kit/

Your gas tube is good to go. Cross that off the list. Recoil system needs fixed, and there are a couple ways to do that. You'll need a gas port diameter of 0.085"~0.090" for that rifle to run correctly. Next step is finding out what the gas port diameter really is.

You're looking for 3/16", if everything is perfect in the world. Some fuktard over on THR stole that number from one of my posts from a long time ago, and think's he's a hero over there, acting like he came up with it...

You're not overgassed. You're under-recoiled. What's the gas port diameter in that barrel? What's the gas block journal size? Got a pic of how far the gas tube extends into the upper receiver? You could have multiple things going on here - buy you are under-recoiled. Not over-gassed. That's why it's kicking hard. Oh, and it's not a DPMS .308. It's based on the pattern - but thats why I backed up edgecrusher, asking if it was a factory DPMS rifle - which it is not.

Want me to try to T&E one of those?...

AZ'ers should come out to the Capitol this Saturday, 15 Feb, 10am~2pm for the annual 2A rally: https://2ndamendmentrallyaz.com/

Just those damn trees...

https://www.fddefense.com/rifles/fd308/ Look, they even have "The World's First ,338 Lapua Magnum AR Platform" https://www.fddefense.com/rifles/fd338/

They made some badass CAD drawings in 2011, 2012 - billet receivers, renderings of them. I posted about them here. Reaaaaally wanted them to get produced, and be somethings besides vaporware.

Long Distance is fun. Takes time and money to get proficient, but it's worth it. Make sure you hit up this thread about it:

This is honestly the best place he should start, Doc, right here: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=Sprinco+Orange+spring Click that ^^^, and you're in business.

Sprinco.

This is the biggest part.

Or, they're not making any money on ARs. Too many smaller, better companies out there, brother.

12 Angry Dems that took Bloomberg money. It'll never get through, not this year. But it's a wake-up call, for sure. Bloomberg ironically setup a campaign office in Phx about a week ago...

Each quarter is 0.069" thick - one would do, since the internal depth on that is right on at 7.000". Next - shoot it. Function test it with live ammo. Put rounds downrange. Start with a single round in the mag, and see if it will lock the bolt back. That's the first test. It's not going to, I'll bet. That gas port is gonna need to go up, so you might as well just take the gas block off there one time (maybe 2), so put the Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube in there when you're in there. It's longer than an AR15 midlength gastube (and has the appropriate bends in it for a .308-sized barrel). Here's the gastube: https://www.armalite.com/product/ar-10-carbine-length-gas-tube-10007005/

That's TactiCat. He's an as$hole, and 12lbs. He's handful, enough. I've always wanted one of these jackasses, though. Cute when little. If I could tame it, raise it right, this would be a badass cat. Doesn't have anything to do with maximizing space in a gunsafe - but I've always wanted a mountain lion.

SHIIT...
