You're missing the letter that some asshead sent BATFE Firearms Technology Branch, questioning a bunch of stupid shiit that he shouldn't have even sent/ask them in the first place... Several Gun Blogs went apeshiit about it, and blew it way up. Bottom line - an "individual" sent a letter, and they answered, and the response was posted online. That's the ATF position "to that individual." Period. That letter pertains to that individual - that's what we've been warned about for a decade now... "One letter to an individual doesn't mean it's okay FOR YOU to do..." Remember all that garbage? That organization has never issued any "determination Letter" talking about any of this...

This is a good one from Hannity - great show today. Hit the embedded vid. https://www.foxnews.com/media/hannity-unfortunately-some-have-forgotten-the-horror-of-9-11 And, this one is a warning to all in this country - the Jihadi-Motherfuckers didn't forget about us today, no they did not. They used today to rally more support, and new calls to attack America and Americans, whenever they can...

Received this email today, from a company, remembering 9/11. I didn't realize it before reading this, but tomorrow morning, kids can enlist in any branch of the Armed Forces, as an 18-yeal old... and they weren't even born when this happened to this nation. One thing I didn't take into perspective before reading this was - what a tremendous impact 9/11 had on those that were 18~older, that were not already in a Service Branch. The inspiration, motivation that they got from watching the horrific new that morning... I was already 15 years in at that point, so there was no "choice" to be made on my part, really - how to put my guys into the duty roster for armed compound guard?... was the choices I had at the time, that day... Read this, it's pretty good. A Marine veteran and father looks back at 9/11 by Alex Hollings - NEWSREP writer For every year of my adult life, September has opened on a somber note. As a journalist that works in the National Security and Defense sphere, I’ve come to embrace the sadness this month brings with it, often channeling the lump in my throat for the sake of content — writing pieces each year that I hoped would shed a light on how 9/11 became more than a call to action for many men and women of my generation, it was very literally a defining moment. As I’ve discussed in the past, the entire course of my life changed as I watched the second plane collide with the World Trade Center in New York City — as can be said for so many of us that found ourselves on the cusp of adulthood just as our nation came under attack. As we approach September 11 each year, it can be tough not to think back to where we were, or maybe who we were back before that tragic morning… The lot of us going about our lives with a naive levity we’d never be able to recognize or appreciate until it was ripped from our grasp. I was born in 1985, so war — as far as I could tell — was something America was pretty much the undisputed champion of. I was aware of armed conflict during my childhood in far flung places like Iraq, but these conflicts seemed almost trivial to me as a kid. To most Americans then (and again today) war seemed like a far-off concept that was only a concern for others. Sure, my dad had fought in a war — but that was in Vietnam and about communism. As far as I knew, both of those things weren’t on America’s threat radar anymore. The Soviet Union fell while I played with Transformers. The Persian Gulf War was such a clinic in American dominance that my family crowded around the TV at night to watch it like a video we’d just rented from Blockbuster. There, in our small New England home, war was a concept I came to understand without its most important ingredient: fear. Then came that fateful morning. I was skipping school but had every intention of getting to class before 11am (the cutoff to still be able to go to football practice). As I casually got dressed in my empty living room, watching the news updates about the first airplane crashing into the Twin Towers and assuming, as most of us did, that it was nothing more than a tragic accident, the second plane hit. In that moment, I found war’s missing ingredient. In that moment, I was afraid. I knew that this was the start of something big… I just prayed it was something America would make it out of. Years later, after getting out of the Marine Corps and enrolling in college, I found myself in a mass communications class taught by a professor that had graduated high school a year after me (that happens a lot as an older vet in school). As we started class on September 11 of that year, he asked our small group to share our experiences with the terror attacks of 9/11, to tell one another where we were and how we felt. To my surprise (in an otherwise highly engaged class) no one raised their hands. Finally, he turned to me and asked if I’d discuss my experiences. I quickly recounted my morning, and the way my stomach felt as though it was full of rocks for days after. He nodded in commiseration before posing the question to the class again. Finally, one young woman raised her hand with a simple answer: “I think most of us were just too young to remember it.” Much like the fear I didn’t know to expect when war finally reached my home, the surprise I felt when she said she couldn’t remember 9/11 didn’t make any logical sense. Of course, she was too young. The whole class was. But it was a date that had so fundamentally changed the world as I knew it, it came as a shocking realization to learn that we’re now living among adults that don’t know what the world was like before the Global War on Terror. There are men and women, living, working, voting today that have never lived a day without the looming specter of war. I grew up in a world where war was an abstract concept until a group of terrorists brought it to my home. Today’s generation of young adults grew up in a world where war was so constant, we distanced ourselves from it. The Middle East is such a complicated quagmire of wars that most choose to ignore them and go about their day. We are a nation at war, but our sons and daughters often don’t even notice. For all the bad that does, I’m grateful. I wish the country cared more about our brothers and sisters in harm’s way, and I wish our lawmakers cared more about the future of the nation than they did about the future of their careers, but nonetheless, I’m grateful. I wish these wars we’ve been waging had a clear-cut end point and that we could say we were approaching it… but despite that, I’m grateful. I wish I could know that the service of my generation of veterans helped secure a safer world for my daughter to grow up in, but even without that certainty, today, I’m grateful. I’m grateful to this nation for building a life around these wars that my daughter can enjoy without that fear I first felt in the pit of my gut on 9/11. I’m grateful that things here at home can be so mundane that some Americans choose to ignore that we’re at war. I’m grateful that America remains a beacon of discourse, debate, and passionate efforts to improve despite decades of conflict. I’m grateful that war is as distant from my daughter as it was for me at her age — despite there being so much more of it today. For all the ways I wish the last 19 years of war could have gone differently, today, I say thank you to every man and woman that volunteered to put on a uniform and take the fight to wherever Uncle Sam told you to take it. I say thank you to the law enforcement professionals that work tirelessly every day to stop another 9/11 from happening. I may wish the general public cared a little deeper about my friends in harm’s way. I may wish the American people could remember how unified we felt when we realized that all of us Americans were under attack as one nation. Hell, I wish a lot of things were different… But I’m grateful that these are the challenges of my generation, not the hardships of my daughter’s. Today, for all the violence, the strife, and the tensions, my daughter feels safe in her room, in her home, and in her country. That’s something many of us lost years ago. That’s the gift a generation of war fighters have given her. And that’s something worth being grateful for.

Amen.

Are you talking about that response to a letter that someone sent, that circulated recently?

Damn good article, brother.

Armalite AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension Kit. If you have problems with that hardware running on your gun, it's not recoil-system problems. Buying the complete kit is the cheapest way to do that, direct from Armalite - piecing it together costs alot more. For $65, you het the H3 buffer ($40), the true 7 5/8" internal depth AR-10 Carbine extension ($40+), the EA1095 spring ($8), endplate and lock nut. It's a bargain. It's in stock as I post this- 6 kits. Get it while you can, because they run out, very routinely. https://www.armalite.com/product/ar10rekit01-6-position-receiver-extension-kit/

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.
