She's cool. We parted ways after 10 years. Wasn't good, wasn't bad - Thank her for me moving from DC back to AZ. Otherwise, I'd be a woman-smacked jackass living in DC for several years, and it would have pussified me, turned me to total DC-Faggotry and DC Liberalism. I survived. I left, and got to keep my balls, and slam them around as I saw fit... Too many problems at the time, but she was the one - she just thought that "she didn't need a man." She knows different now. She's also the one, with the son that took his own life. I knew him from the time he was 13, AD/HD as fuk. He was gone at 22. Just knowing him, and living with him, is the only reason my own AD/HD as Fuk kid didn't get eaten, when he was younger... That boy of hers proved that they could actually learn, grow, and be something - so I didn't eat my own for it. I learned how to deal with my own boy, through him, as he was 7 years older than mine.

I just went through the exact dwell time (length) numbers, and on an 18" rifle-gas system, you should be at exactly 4.875", from gas port location centerline to the muzzle end.

I"m sending this to the only ex-girlfriend that I still talk to. That was 10 years of this shiit, so she still needs to hear it...

This thing is a piece of shiit. Sell it to someone. Nobody here is gonna buy it, though, so don't try to sell it here. This is the only 16" midlength BA barrel that they advertise - and it's a good one. https://www.ballisticadvantage.com/16-inch-308-tacgov-mid-ss-premium-barrel.html That your barrel? Their "Premium Series" barrels are match-grade barrels. I have several, in many calibers, and they deliver. If you buy it, before you EVER install it, get an accurate gas port diameter reading and post that here - before you ever install it. There aren't many companies making 16" midlength gas barrels for .308ARs, so you need to check that before you run it. Aero Precision and Ballistic Advantage are the same company, by the way, so I hope that answers the question of whether the two brands will work together - they're made to work together. ToolCraft makes AP's BCGs. You won't find better BCGs out there. Thanks for posting your intro, before you got busy with questions - so many people dont...

You be #3, brother. Three times we've heard them on this site, and three times there's been "gun-build problems." I'll take a problem here or there - tolerance stacking, whatever. Twice? Twice is an issue, and a lack of QC from a company. Three times?... They have an issue with their hardware... That's beyond the range of "it's just a coincidence..." at that point. I hope Gibbz figures this out - or someone that's a machinist figures it out for them, for us here. Something is going on with their hardware...

I'm telling you right now that it's the wrong "rifle" buffer... Their measurements are off, and it's a 5.700" long buffer - for an AR15. Have you measured and weighed this buffer yourself? Or, are you only repeating their information from their listing, and saying "that's the spec..."... If you measure it and weigh it - you'll see that it's closer to the numbers that I gave you, and not the numbers that they're listing on that product ad...

Not bagging on you or anything, but your testament here - you are either the 2nd or 3rd person here with problems with a Gibbz side=charging upper. If you've never posted about problems with that upper before, then you're the 3rd person. I've seen "fix my gun" complaints TWICE here, involving that upper. If you've never mentioned it to date, you are the third...

You don't have a headspace problem, or it would have blown up in your hands by now. Take your bolt apart for pictures, and please post them. Only thing that needs removed is the extractor - take a pic of the extractor spring(s),and take a pic of the extractor edge, itself. Then get a pic of the face of that ejector. Please post those pics. You don't need an adjustable gas block, and an adjustable gas block isn't gonna cure what I think is going on with your gun. The pics will tell...

Don't get this guy started. Again...

I just looked at the numbers and you have a dwell time of around (pretty damn close, if not exact) 5" on an 18" Rifle Gas system. For a 0.750" diameter at the gas port, you'll need a gas port diameter (min/max) of approximately 0.090"~0.095".

You shouldn't have to add any quarters, if that receiver extension has a true depth of 7.000", and is truly "milspec" as stated. If it has an internal depth longer than 7.000", then you need to add quarters to take up the additional length, over 7.000". Each quarter is 0.069" thick. Your recoil system is good - That 2.500" KAK 5.3oz buffer is fine, and really good matched to the Sprinco Orange spring. Receiver extention depth is what you need to look at - and it did need that additional turn it - it should be flush with the vertical surface of the lower receiver, and it needed that additional turn in. You need an Armalite AR-10 Rifle-length gas tube. For CERTAIN. You may need to drill your gas port up in size. I wouldn't suspect that from Faxon, but try to measurethe diameter of your gas port - numbered drill bits are the easiest way to do this. Find the one that doesn't fit, go down one size and it should fit - that's your gas port diameter. Fractional bits don't have enough "range" but can get you close. You shot this with the gas wide open on that adjustable block, and it didn't help you. Part of that is the short gas tube, but not all of it. An 18" .308 Win barrel with midlength gas will have a gas port diameter range of 0.080"~0.085", for a 0.750" diameter at the gas block. Expect it to be a little different for rifle-gas. You need to measure that gas port diameter...

That's an AR15 Rifle Buffer - those are 5.700" long. .308AR Rifle Buffers (DPMS and Armalite pattern) are 5.200" long. You have the wrong buffer, even though its heavy as hell. .308AR Rifle Buffers (standard weight) are 5.4 oz. The whole kit probably weighs 10.5oz - but that's an aluminum-bodied buffer, so I'll bet that you find it's true length at 5.700" and true 5.4oz weight. My $0.02. I contacted Arm Or Ally about their listing, and the issues with it...

Damn good work! That barrel is gettin' it done, for sure - and so are you.

I'lL custom-make you one, but the pricetag is gonna be $$$$... I can cut your price down by alot, per piece, if I use PSA parts. The light might not work right all the time, though. You'll have to experiment with different lightbulbs, until it works "most of the time..." I'm just sayin'...

This is a badass 440 Wedge engine setup, appropriate for this truck...

That Redfield x4 is a good scope - it compares alot to an old Weaver K4. I've got an "El Paso" Weaver K4 on the M1093A4 gun, and it does the gun good justice. That Redfield is a good one, too.

Per section rules, we gotta have a number in here, that he's looking to get, man. Tell him to throw out a number, even if it's high, and people can bargain with him after that.

What a fine pistol - that's what I carried when home on leave in Ohio everytime.

Put those babies in my pile and let me know when the bill is due... I'm down with whatever factory .260 Rem you can find laying around, and I'll always take some LC 30-06...

Thank you, for linking that one!

We have a tread specifically on these bolt catches, and all their dimensions, but what you're measuring doesn't amount to much - measuring from the outside of the paddle to whatever - it's gonna give you anything meaningful. Search out our thread on the measurements of these things.

But... That's the EASY answer, brother. Come hang out with me... You are aware that the Fall Shoot is 4.5 weeks out right now... right?...

Looking at the pic of how much protrusion there is, that's what I'd do - punch it through.

Bravo Company (BCM) and MagPul have the proper receiver extension figured out, too - as well as @Robocop1051 with his own receiver extension. I didn't know that Spike's was on it for the larger ARs, but that's cool info to add to the pile.
