Psssshhhhh. I was raging Robinson Canyon Road in a 12A-engined '79 RX in '86. By the time '87 came around, it was a 3 rotor build, and I was eating Mustang 5.0sout on HIghway 1 and 101... My nemesis was a built 280Z, that I came up on coming back from Santa Cruz beach... That dude ATE. MY. LUNCH.

I heard them all and read about them all today, so the links are out there. Wal-mart will stop gun sales, unless those are "hunting long-guns or shotguns. Wal-mart will stop selling handgun ammo and "short barrel rifle" ammo. <<< I'm serious, that was a headline today. They will only sell hunting caliber long0gun hunting ammo, and shotgun shells. Wal-mart doesn't want ANY CUSTOMERS open-carrying in the store (unless they are specifically allowed to by the police). <<< Kid you not on that one, either. I'll open carry here in this one until they ask me not to. Then I'll pull my shirt down over it, to show them how stupid that policy is. You'd think, with the Wal-mart problems that have cropped up, they'd give everyone that open-carries a 5% discount at the register, just for having a gun on. THAT would solve some problems, because apparently, fukbags think Wal-Mart is a soft target. Turns out, it's creating it's own policies that are making it an even softer target. Wouldn't you like to have someone in there open carrying, to BUY some handgun ammo?... They say they're not giving in to Anti-2A people, and they're saying that they support 2A. They seem conflicted, and their CEO is a shiithead. Here's the latest article - the other ones are out there - everywhere, today. https://www.foxnews.com/us/walmart-says-gun-sales-change-is-not-a-concession-to-second-amendment-foes

What you have listed for parts has nothing to do with a DPMS LR-308, in the least way. That might have been the base-platform for the configuration, but what you have listed is a trainwreck of parts. Hope that doesn't hurt your feelings. What you have listed for parts will take a whole day to go through, just to try to figure out what you have going on here, I'm not kidding. Why don't you just start with the VERY specifics on that recoil system. INTERNAL DEPTH on that receiver extension (stick a tape measure down it, and see how deep it is - it's either 7.000" or it's 7 5.8" deep). You state "H2 carbine weight" but what the hell is that? What's the buffer LENGTH, and what's the exact weight of it? If it's H2, I can tell you the weight of an H2 buffer - but I want to know what YOUR buffer weighs, and how long it is... Don't take this wrong - you have a whole mess of shiit going on. We'll get into the gas system after the recoil system, after your statement of "16" unmarked 308win 41v50 barrel, basic gas block,mid length ss gas line..." recoil system first, then we try to decipher your gas system. -
are you fucking SERIOUS?! There's a Somali contingent in SEATTLE, now?!!? Dearborn, yeah, I get it. Missouri - yeah, they've been there for years. Thank You, government relocation efforts for war-torn countries. No joke. But, they're taking over SEATTLE?!... https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/rpyapk/all-we-know-is-violence-seattle-based-somali-rap-crew-malitia-malimob-talks-war-and-peace

^^^ I'd be cautious about that one, it's more PINK than PURPLE... Pink is closer to red and orange, so that spells DANGER to me... I might risk it, though. Just see what's up...
-
I've sworn off the orange and red ones, for sure - total chaos and broken furniture, money missing, parole time, etc.. The psychosis isn't worth your ulcers. The yellow ones are nothing but fucking trouble - they look cool on the outside, act cool, then... time goes by and they blow up like the orange and red ones. Just as psychotic, just not at the beginning... They "taper" into it, then blow up. The brown ones (and black-haired one), are the safest, in my humble experience. Brunettes have proven to be the LEAST nutty. However, my Canadian brother @Cunuckgaucho recently enlightened me... THERE ARE PURPLE ONES... My hunt is on, and I need one...

The Central Coast is fucking Magic, brother. It's unreal there. I love that place, dearly...

Oh, Sweet Baby Jesus, what a perfect Ginger... green eyes and all... I'll bet she'd kill you in your sleep.

That's one BAD som'bitch right there - you can easily see it in the shoulders and chest. That's a badass horse...

I didn't "volunteer" to work any races at Laguna Seca while I was stationed there, but I was "volun-told" to work them many times... Fuckin' Army shiit... I've "worked" six of them at that track, and that track is amazing. I love that area, I just wish we could get it out of Cali, the whole area, and move it to someplace like Tejas... The Monterey Peninsula is just unreal...
-
Scared me - I thought it was a split-open dried-up turd, or something... From something BIG!... Perspective - I can see what you're saying now...

Something. I don't know. I scare myself at times...

Highway 68 the other way, from Monterey to Carmel, almost killed me one night - I died out there that night. I'm lucky I'm still even here, and that was as a dumbass 18-year old. 1987 Kawasaki Ninja 600RX, too, brand new. Didn't even know what it was worth, bought it for the paint. Black, silver/gray, and red - different from other red.white.blue Ninjas. Midnight one night, pissed at a crazy girlfriend, hauled ass on the bike to "get away from the madness..." Hit a fucking groundhog in a turn about 80mph, right at the top of the hill, crossing under the bridge at the top. When I woke up, I was on my back, down the hill, in a clear cut tree area, and the sun was up. I went to undo the chinstrap on the helmet, and the helmet came apart at the top - fell off my head. I broke the helmet in two pieces, left front to right back. Split the helmet down the middle. This is where I went off the road: That was a steep uphill climb, left turn, and it leveled out right under the bridge across the road, and immediately transitioned to a right-hander downhill - I was pissed-riding at midnight, in the left climb, hauling ass - and woke up when the sun was out. Couldn't find the bike, after the helmet fell off me. Walked back to the barracks and slept. 3pm that day, me and buddies went looking for the bike - it was 100 yards downhill from where I stopped sliding. It took us a week to get it out of there, uphill, out of that clear cut. Stumps fucking everywhere. When we got up there that day, there was a dead groundhog in the road, with a pretty distinctive "V" in the middle of him - I hit that fucker. No marks on the 2-foot high guardrail, at all - didn't even touch it, cleared it completely - then flew over that hill, missed all the stumps, slid - I don't even know. The bike didn't miss the stumps - the left side of the bike was damn near gone... I have no idea why I'm even still here, able to tell about it... Someone wanted me around, for whatever reason...
-
This is a pretty seriously fun piece of road, too, brother. Carmel Valley to Hwy 68 to Salinas - shortcut and bypass Monterey altogether, between the two places... It's awesome, because you can REALLY keep your speed up on that one, and "pray for tire grip..."
-
That's 17 miles one-way, that ends at that private country club gate out there - and you turn around and drive back out that 17 miles... That long straight at the bottom, between the two mountains/hills/whatever - had that RX over 120 in that flat. Think about all those 180-hairpins that you drove through - I went through those 2nd gear sideways on the rev limiter, brother, in that RX. Downhill hairpins on the way out, uphill hairpins in the way back... I was "drifting" before anyone even knew what it was... '86~'87 in the built '79 RX, and again in '89~'91 in the '87 RX. First year of the car, for both Gen 1 and Gen 2. I love those fuckers, and one day I'll own a twin turbo Gen 3.

Rap and Country slammed into each other?...

Take a true Classic Car - 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. Swap in a 720hp Hellcat engine. Feature this car - built by SpeedKore - in the "Fast & Furious 8" movie. Then sell it. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2019/07/10/kevin-harts-40th-birthday-gift-speedkores-70-plymouth-cuda Comedian Kevin Hart bought the car as a 40th birthday present to himself. He was born July 6th, 1979, so he turned 40 on July 6th, 2019 - I'd guess he bought it that day?... He let a buddy drive it - he wasn't driving. He and the driver have sustained serious back injuries - but there was a girl in the back seat that was unharmed? In the link below, in the pic slideshow - I can't even see a back seat?... At any rate, this badass modern classic is done. That $70k didn't last long... https://www.tmz.com/2019/09/01/kevin-hart-car-accident-malibu-off-road-passengers-trapped/ I've driven Mulholland Drive/Highway the whole length, in a built RX-7 - it's a pretty hairy road... I went from Monterey down there in a day, just to drive that road. It's not as badass as Robinson Canyon Road, near Carmel (way shorter but SKETCH!), but it's a pretty badass road. Cali has TONS of great "driving roads," if you're into that kinda thing...

You need headspace gauges, not feeler gauges. -

Cutting the backside of bolt lugs is directly the wrong thing to do. You need to ream the chamber - it's short. -
PSA PA10 GEN 2 build, with parts list and cost
98Z5V replied to odie64's topic in Palmetto State Armory
Change over the entire recoil system and gas system to the JP parts, if that's what you're gonna do. You can't just do "some race gun parts" here and there, and expect it to function... -
Cobalt Kinetics and MARS Team Up on New Army

It eventually did - it took him down, and they were looking for him for quite awhile. There's 3 videos that go over "the making of..." called "Behind the Dream," and it's in #3. -
It's almost hot enough to do that right now. Fuckin' sucks here this time of year. You can come down and lick the runny eggs, bro - if they don't fully cook.
