I've got 3 or 4 or them, Mike. They deliver. The Wylde chamber is the one to go after, and it's not gonna matter whether it's 7 or 8" twist. Both the Mk12s are Wylde chamber, the 16" precision gun is Wylde chamber 8" twist, and I'm pretty sure there's another one in the pile, at least.

I actually thought about trying this, briefly, about a year ago. Self preservation made me think twice about it, but I thought, for a split-second that I could take this guy home, and keep his big ass - because he wasn't gonna get me with that bird in his mouth. I got close enough for better pics, and it stayed at that. My dumbass Inner Me was saying "GRAB THAT FUCKER NOW!" but I hesitated, for my own health. This was a healthy snake...

I pull games like this at work, with newer guys. As soon as they get a bigger job, like a topend rebuild, diff rebuild, trans rebuild... They walk away from their work bench as some point... I'll walk over there and put a bolt down on the bench, in their pile of parts... Towards the end of the rebuild, they're GOING APESHIT over the leftover bolt... trying to figure out what they forgot, and where it went...

Amen, that's the damn truth...

You talked about a gun you've had since March - and there are NO SIGHTS in it. You talked a game,but gave a pic of a non-fuctional gun, as far as shooting goes. THAT WAS WHY I WAS LIKE THAT. Does that make sense to you?... I didn't post the pic of your gun for you - YOU did that. The questions arise, based on what YOU posted. Are you getting any of this yet?... Or are you still the victim, here?...

I can talk a woman in white gloves into buying a ketchup popsicle, brother... Won't feel guilty, either...

Once again... have you shot it yet?...

Right...

Have you shot it yet? Is that a current pic of the complete gun?

That earned me an ex-wife, right there... She said I'd turn like an alligator... Subconsciously, I think I did it on purpose...

@jtallen83 difference is, I don't critique your style - don't know why you think you can critique mine. Enjoy.

Won't matter much where they came from, Cliff - .308AR rifle buffers (DPMS-based and Armalite-based) are 5.200" long and weigh 5.4oz. The rifle receiver extension is 9 11/16" internal depth - it's the same extension used in AR15 rifle-stocked guns. Companies don't mess that up too often, but we've seen one or two here that didn't hit those numbers. It's an oddity, not common.

That's a pretty damn great job, with that ammo, at 750 yards - well done. It's tough to get a 150-ish grain projectile out that far, with no wind, let along 2.5 MOA wind hold. Well done.

I tried a PSA upper on an Aero M5 lower - and it didn't fit. The PSA parts are not "DPMS LR-308" based - they're proprietary, to PSA...

Help was offered, help was completely ignored. Questions were politely asked about the situation - and were completely ignored, instead with a reply that he heard an adjustable gasblock is the cure. Then he stated that he quit - and that wasn't from anything that I said. If you don't approve of my methodology, Jim- you can just ignore me. If you have a problem with how I handled myself, based on the questions and the details I asked of the man - and got no response to the questions and the details I asked of the man - straight ignored - if you have a problem with what I said or did, based on the information I asked of him... Then just say it. I think I was pretty polite with what I asked, initially - just trying to get the details on what was going on. I think I was pretty straight-forward with what I was asking - trying to solve a common problem... If you didn't like my response, Jim - you can just block me.

I simply ask you this, OP...

I know Sprinco, and some guys there, so tell me about it. Describe to me that conversation that you had with them... Ejection at 11 o'clock doesn't necessarily mean that you're over-gassed - if you've been looking at that "AR15 Ejection Pattern Chart" that's all over the web- this ain't an AR15. It's 30% larger, in all aspects. There's no need to be a bitch about it, none at all - butthurt helps no one. You're obviously butthurt. YOU posted about ejector swipes, period. That's what you posted about. I gave you information, specifically asked you for pics of the ejector in your bolt - no pics. Nothing from you but words that don't mean anything. Zero pics of the ejector. I can probably FIX your problem for zero dollars - depending on that I THINK you ejector looks like - if you want to invest 30 minutes of manual labor to fix it. You're running a left-hand eject gun, man - fucking fix it. If you wanna leave, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. That's what quitters do - they quit. If you wanna FIX YOUR GUN, then get the damn pic of your ejector up that I asked for - THAT EJECTOR is the reason for your brass swipes, I'll bet 50% of my next paycheck on. But, crickets, when asked for information... Nothing from you... Instead, you are "so proud of you" that you ignore requests to HELP YOU. I get it - your balls are buigger than everyone else's here, that help people fix guns everyday. More power to you, on that, too. Bandaid that shiit with an adjustable gas block, join other forums, and tell them all about what you've done... Just know - you put the bandaid on the wrong cut... The other option here, is to just get the requested info out- and quit letting "pride" fuk with you. That's what this is really about, here - because you've already built a couple ARs, you know it all... Pride is kicking you in the dick right now, man, you just can't admit that. Leave if you must - stay if you REALLY want to fix that Stag Leftie.

Numbered bits are the way to go. Fractional bits don't have the necessary "inbetween" to get the size close enough.

Needs to be transferred to you as "pistol" and you never, ever have worries, ever. Not ever. Or, stripped lower needs to be transferred to you as "other" on the 4473 paperwork, and needs to be built as a "pistol" configuration first. I have pics of all my "pistol" builds with date stamps on the pics, shortly after they were transferred as "other." I can prove, without a doubt, that I built all my pistols, as pistols. Gonna be hard for them to prove otherwise, with the documentation that I have on each pistol... Stripped Lowers SHOULD transfer as "other" - because at that point, they're not a firearm, and neither a "rifle" or "pistol" - unless they're specifically caliber-marked as "pistol" right on the stripped lower receiver... - then they have to transfer on the 4473 as a pistol...

A boat is just a hole in the water that you throw more money into...

That doesn't matter - it's a pistol. Pistols don't have a "Length of Pull" because they don't have a stock, which defeats two BATFE definitions. You have to measure the stock... doesn't exist on a pistol. You have a pistol - which doesn't have a stock... Maybe for an SBR- wait, that's got a Tax Stamp, so almost anything is legal on that, once you're approved and get the Stamp... This is a non-event. It doesn't exist, outside of that one letter they sent to one guy that asked ignorant questions... It's not law, and it's never been in a Determination Letter for public consumption... What they wrote to that one individual - doesn't matter to anyone else in the USA, other than that one individual. That was a personal opinion letter from FTB, only...

Will ya look at the hind quarters on that one...

You've never shot this bitch, brother? It goes out to every Fall Shoot... Oh, wait... @edgecrusher claims it before every trip out here, so it's hard to get it out of his hands...

I was just getting ready to go here, when I read his reply - no kidding. Square-faced ejectors will "swipe" brass, on regular guns, with normal loads - from the rounds feeding from the right side of the magazine, only. Now, since we're talking about "too much gas" - the gas port diameter and barrel configuration should be discussed - to see if it's really over-gassed. Chances are, it's not over-gassed at all, and it's running a 3.8oz buffer in there, with some weird recoil spring. Not Enough Ass To Control The Mass... of the .308AR BCG, right there. Putting an adjustable gas block on a gun like that is just putting a band-aid on the wrong cut...

So, I meet up with @edgecrusher in 2011 or 2012, having already met out here in the desert before. He's really the one that the "desert shoot" stuff started with, no lie. So, I'd met him the year before out here, this is the second time meeting up. We link up just outside of Tombstone at an annual HUGE Cowboy Action Shoot that his Father In Law is into - and it was badass. Met Bob and Sherrie Mernickle there, and bought my first two holsters from them. Wonderful people, just amazing. Greg says, "Hey, what's this guy doing over here? Is he making grips?..." We walk into his tent - sure enough, this guy is from Tucson, and he makes some BADASS custom grips for the Cowboy Action Guns - AND makes them for 1911s... Damnit. Greg looks at this big chunk of Burl Ironwood, two-tone brown, and says, "THAT!!! THAT!!! It's gonna be GREAT on the Desert Warrior!!!..." Fuk me... I was carrying the Tac Pro II that day, and didn't have the Desert Warrior on me - but it was Saturday. Greg and Fam had to fly out on Sunday, but I had to go back to the shoot anyway, because I had all our raffle tickets, and top prize was a complete Dillon 650B reloading setup. I took the Desert Warrior back there,met up with the grip guy... Couldn't find the fucking piece of Burl Ironwood, though, that was IN THE CASE YESTERDAY?!!? WTF?! The guy pulled it on Saturday, right after Greg and I left the tent, because he KNEW... He pulls it out of a pocket in his shop apron, and says, "you're looking for THIS one..." I had to literally give him the gun - he had it for 5 weeks, total, to make the grips for it. Out of a bigass hunk of wood. Unreal workmanship, damn near artwork. He cut the wood block right down the middle, and reversed the pieces, so they'd be about as "mirror-image" as they could be. He knocked it outta the park. Thanks, Greg... This motherfucker in a brown leather Punisher holster is gonna be fucking SWEET!...
