Don't hide it under your coat, that makes it an SBS or AOW - both require tax stamps and approval process. It has an OAL over 26" for a reason, so you "can't conceal it...". Just FYI. It's 26 3/4" with the factory Raptor Bird's Head Grip (and it's sling stud)...

Only way to explain why, repeatedly, that the 16" was outperforming the 18" at 27.5 grains of AA2520. Once I bumped it back up to 28.5 grains of AA2520, speed increased across all barrel lengths, and the 18" was outperforming the 16" at that point, as it should have all along. The difference in the two barrels was length and gas system. Both barrels are Ballistic Advantage SPR profile barrels, the 16" is a Mk12 Mod H profile barrel with Midlength gas, the the 18" is true Mk12 Mod 0 or Mod 1 profile, Rifle gas.

He won't toot his own horn, but when he says he can fix anything-AR, it's real. Since he won't too his own horn, I'll just say you were offered to have a repair made by the Chief Armorer at Armalite, for a long, long time... He spent a long time doing that... If I could reach out and give him a pants-down hug right now, I would, without hesitation... I think I found his wallet...

You're not getting my Grendel brass, brother. I have five Grendel-kids to feed here...

What's your face worth, if the gun blows up in your face?... Missing fingers, maybe -that's acceptable?... Not for me... Check out this .50 Cal from a shiit-manufacturer. Wonder if he headspaced it first before firing? Of course he didn't. He spent the cheapest amount he could on the gun... https://www.military.com/video/guns/rifles/50-cal-blows-up-in-shooters-face/3223685684001 Watch the embedded vid in that link...

^^^ I dedicated almost 10 years of my life, with one like that, trying to make it work. I couldn't take it anymore. "CRAZY Sex" wasn't enough to keep that insanity going any longer... @DNP met her... Woke up one night with a neck cramp, uncomfortable as hell - glad I did, too. There was a bamboo cutting board under the pillow... She was beside the bed, on a ladder, holding a bowling ball over her head... and I STILL stayed with it for another 6 years... Moral of the story - NOBODY likes a quitter...

That right there is heinous - and it's a problem with the heat-treat on that bolt. Sheared bolt lugs are in that thing's future...:

It's already been discussed here on the forum, and recently again, too - that company, under both its names, has cheap parts because they only buy BLEM parts from companies - then they pass that on to customers. So, what blem are you gonna get? Appearance blem? Or is it going to be a functional blem? That company will also advertise something like "Aero Precision complete upper receiver! Cheap!" and the only Aero part in the whole upper receiver is the blem stripped receiver itself, that the company builds up with other cheap blem parts from other companies. So. Maybe suggesting you research the company - then providing you the links for this message board, and a Google search - maybe that wasn't such misguided information for you, now was it? You can buy whatever junk you want. Doesn't matter to me. You didn't even read the links I left for you, or you would have learned that about that company...

More buffer weight, or less gas, will move the ejection pattern back from where it is now. Adjust down the gas a little, and see. Try 5 rounds as it is, leave that brass there, adjust the gas down one click, try it, observe where the brass falls. I never chase an ejection pattern. If the brass is getting out of the fully functional gun, I'm happy with it. Since you already have an adjustable block, might as well use it.

Needs more gas port diameter. 0.052~0.055" is too small. 5.56 stuff:

Good info - not off-topic at all, man.

I've been through that hell, working on a 1911 for my Gun Pusher. The grip safety tang was filed too short by someone else, before the gun ever came in to the shop. Gun owner claimed ignorance that he had someone else work on the gun. Ordered new grip safety-and my hell has been trying to match that fucker to the radius on the frame, and still make it work.

I sure as hell hope not. I don't have water for them. Part of the reason that I live where I do is just because those fuckers even exist.... If they invade here...

@Cunuckgaucho sent me a buddy to hang out with, before the Fall Shoot... He is a BADASS... And I'm kinda scared?...

You're doing amazing, sweetie - keep going, it'll work...

Got it, understand. Several of us here have had a REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD YEAR before, or more than one. That doesn't mean you can dowhat you want, say what you want, and not be challenged for bullshiit that you say or do. That make sense? If you want slack, cut the rope.

Jesus... Research the company, for fucks sake. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&ei=VoBPXeHhLs389APj_abwBg&q=Delta+Team+Tactical+reviews&oq=Delta+Team+Tactical+reviews&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i22i30l3.2640.4105..4378...0.0..0.212.1344.0j7j1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71.byHM4dZry-I&ved=0ahUKEwjh5K_A5fnjAhVNPn0KHeO-CW4Q4dUDCAo&uact=5 Research the simlilarities too - Delta Team Tactical = Davidson Defense. Wonder if we've had any Davidson Defense problems recently here? Yep, we have. Even after warnings about the company. Here. https://forum.308ar.com/search/?q="Delta Team Tactical" ^^ Hit that. Searching it out in the first place is easier, but... We have you. If you build a gun from the cheapest shiit you can find, it's gonna perform like the cheapest shiit you can ever imagine. I'm not expecting you to buy a LaRue rifle - but don't bitch when your cheap shiit fails, doesn't work, you can't figure it out, etc. That's when we meet most of these issues head-on...

Sally the Itchy Whore almost made it...

Hell yeah, that was "America coming together" during that war. We'll likely never see that again, in our lives. That was a country coming together for a common goal - work for the Warfighters, that's the number one priority. What an amazing generation. Can you imagine someone applying for a dig license these days, to build "testing tunnels," in New York, with the stated purpose of "testing 50 Caliber machineguns..."... FBI, Red Flag laws, neighbors telling stories, Libs protesting, Gen Pop (Sheeple) just losing their minds over it...

YOU.ARE.THE.MAN!!! I'm your Hornady .308 Match Brass whore, right here - and thanks for hanging on, and not posting it!!! I'm down with it, whenever you find it... Zero rush, brother, at all. It's just that when I see you post them - I better jump on them! Lesson 65b, You snooze, you lose. Infected my mentality... , tossed my brain cells... "SHiit, Pete posted brass - Grab it!!!..." If you save me in the list for those - I'll take them all, plus all that you gather to Nov and beyond... I'll account for them.

I got your back, brother...

I was very far from "polite" in that, but it was for a very specific reason(s). I can smell what you're spreading, brother... Makes sense...

That buffer is good to go, man. Primary Arms (solid vendor) and Expo Arms (good parts manufacturer), are both great. Fear not, that's a good buffer from a good vendor.

Damnit, Dion... Shoot me a total for this batch I quoted...

I know it's true - I have a complete IBM manufactured M1 Carbine. There's no way it's original - because of all the parts-sharing between companies during WWII, but someone took the time to make it all IBM.
