That's what I'm trying to confirm. 18" rifle-gas Faxon heavy match barrel, fluted.

Yes.

Pretty damn good news, man - well done. What did you end up taking the gas port to, in size? This is something we need to add to the gas port thread here.

I roofed a 2-story house with a pitch like that - built on a hill. The front side of the house, no big deal. The back side, and the drop into the backyard... Fuuuuuuck... It was a buddy, too. He says, "you want these roof jacks and harnesses?..." Bro, no way. I have good boots. If I lose it off the back of your house, it was "just my time." That roof-jack shiit is gonna get in my way, return it and don't pay the rental on it...

That's exactly what they were designed for - the .mil ammo. They work well with 55gr, to the limits of the 55gr max distance, but were really designed for the 62gr M855 ammo. It'll work for you, just zero the thing for 50 yards, and you're pretty much point/aim/hold out to 300 on a man-size or deer-size target. Just about the same vital zone area on both (7-ish inches). I don't see difference in 55gr ammo until 450 yards. I can pretty much hold the same as my 75gr loads to 400. Running the 55gr to 450 yards, I have to hold for 500 yards to make hits. After 400 is where it really differs from the heavier projectiles, and where the 55gr drops off. The .mil 62gr is a weird animal, because of it's construction (the SS109/M855 loads). They fly like 75/77gr loads to about 600. After that, they drop off like the 55gr loads do after 400. Anyone that can run a 62gr SS109 to 800 yards is a badass. 75s and 77s get there easily, but the magic in those 75s and 77s is getting them to 2750fps muzzle velocity - that's when the magic happens - at or north of 2750fps on them... Some of the SS109 is about 3100 fps, and the 55gr M193 loads are getting near 3300 fps. Both those loads are screamers, for what they are.

YES!!! She's Dreamy...

I wonder if Mike was really asking us if we remembered Married Life like that, and not necessarily that particular Mat Best video. Yeah, I remember married life like that - she had cramps, but I didn't get a damn blowjob...

I hadn't seen that one, but it's pretty GAWD DAYUMM FUNNY!!!

^^^ I concur, 100% and then some.

That's only because you're one of those backwards, lefty people... Serves you right... Get the pun?...

This was so good, I watched it twice, brother. I'll probably watch it twice again tomorrow. OUTSTANDING find.

@COBrien, "new for 2019" on the Mossy website... I'm just sayin'... The 500 Retrograde https://www.mossberg.com/product/500-retrograde-50429/ I'll take a Mossberg top-safety all day long over a Rem 870 safety. The Moss is already "ambidextrous." The Moss slide lock is behind the trigger guard, and not in front of it, like the 870. I'll go Mossberg before Rem all day long.

For yours, I'd pick up a Mossberg 500 and find a set of the "Police" wood for sale. That would be SWEET! Here's a 500 Police: Or, just run the corn cob pump grip - here's a set of wood: ^^^ That, makes this vvv...

Here's something about the design of the EOTech reticle - the 1 MOA center dot and the 65 MOA circle. It's designed for a 50/200 yard zero. You zero that 1 MOA center dot for 50 yards. There are 4 hash marks around the reticle (12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock). The bottom of the circle, with a 50 yard zero - the bottom of the circle is a 7 yard zero. Truth.

Lesson 65b, brother. You Snooze, You Lose...

It's Official...

Iran Contra has nothing to do with 9/11, either in 2001 or 2012, so what you posted has nothing to do with this thread, man. Iran also has nothing to do with Libya, and Benghazi. Nothing.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! HELL YES!!!

"...but apparently, when he looked around - he forgot to look into his own mirror..."

^^^ This right here - by the groundhog... Killer's Eyes...

All that hot-weather stuff that the Army started... I think was political. I have a 512 that I cerakoted and baked at 170 degrees to cure the cerakote. I didn't like it, so I stripped it, repainted it, and baked it at 170 again. It's STILL dead-nuts on. Don't believe the hype on that hot-weather BS. Mine works great after going through the oven twice.

Technical details in birth, do not preclude you from becoming or being, a Bastard...

You. Rat. Bastards.

That brass is flawless. Cut the gas block, or buy a different one. If it was mine, I'd just remove the handguard and clearance the gas block with a Dremel sanding drum - right there on the barrel. Wouldn't even take the gas block off...
