Solutions to common .308AR platform problems
98Z5V replied to 98Z5V's topic in 308 AR - What You Need To Know
"Square-edged" ejectors also rip up your brass, and leave some nasty "ejector smears" that result in sharp "deformations" on the case head on your brass - that's the first clue, if you never looked at your ejector. That all happens during the "extraction process." That bolt rotates during unlocking, and that square-edged ejector will tear up your brass on an overgassed gun or an under-recoiled gun... That's important, if you're a reloader. You now have to deal with filing down that brass, just to get it in a shell holder. That's just something else to look at, if you're having reloading issues, and just getting that brass into a shell holder... If you've seen that on your brass - look at your ejector face, first... This pic was titled "Reloading pressure signs..." There are no signs of excessive pressure on these two rounds. But... there are definite signs of a squared-off ejector causing this brass damage here. Nothing more than that... That ejector was SO square, that it made a full circle on that case. If it was radiused or rounded - that would not appear like that on this brass... *** FULL DISCLAIMER HERE - I'm not a Certified Gunsmith, so I might not know what I'm talking about. Since I'm not "certified," - use my info at your own risk, then go to a "Certified Gunsmith" about your issue, and see if he even knows what I'm talking about. Chances are, he might not have a clue, on AR Platforms... Thus Endeth the Sermon. -

Ejectors. Feeding problems. Some ejectors just suck. We've touched on ejectors being a problem here, but just in random threads, trying to diagnose feeding problems. Here's a great picture that tells the tale on it all. "Squared off" ejectors will piss you off, make your gun a jam-o-matic, and you'll play hell trying to figure out why you can't shoot more than a couple rounds without a misfeed. Look at your ejector face. If it's a squared-off ejector face, you will more than likely have a feeding issue, and it will always be the round that comes from the right side of the (double-stack) magazine. Period. That's the whole story, right there. That round that comes from the right side of the magazine will have to "slide over" and it's gonna hit that square-faced ejector, and cause you some feeding problems. Round that bastard off, if you have a square-faced ejector, and you have feeding problems. I'll bet you that it fixes your issues. I can describe how to do this, and it's easy. Check your gun-function, but then check your ejector closely, and see if this pertains to you... Here's the pic - it explains it all. -
He hit that dually setup perfectly, and it just sucks that bike right in there and snapped the steering head clean off that frame. I saw that, too - and can't believe that front end lived like it did. That front wheel, calipers, discs - probably fine, too. Probably still has front brake pressure, unless that master cylinder was smashed up into the truck! That's one lucky fucker that was riding that thing...

That's the Demolition Rule, right there... Calculate exactly what you need to do the job. Then add one more.
-
I could probably buff that right out...
-
Hell yeah, right there. As soon as you tumble - it all turns into "white noise..." Don't let any appendages stick out, tuck in everything as close as you can. Make yourself into a ball, literally. It fucking sucks, until you roll/tumble to a stop...

That salsa that you brought down here - DAMN, BROTHER!!!

That would be a blast... HAHA! See what I did there... That charge with those 18 Claymores... Started off with 1000ft of MDI as the primary ignition into one Bangalore tied to two connected Bangalores tied to three Bangalores. The 1000ft roll of det cord that tied them together - the excess whole role was left to the side, so that thing was another charge all by itself. These were chained to the 18 claymores, chained to 40 x 1 1/4lb blocks of C4, chained to 20 x 1 1/4lb blocks of C4, and that roll of det cord was set off to the side. There were yellow smoke cannisters that we wrapped in the det cord, along it's way to the roll. There was so much shiit in that pile, all tied together and layed out in a fancy pattern... I think the calculated Net Explosive Weight was something like 106lbs. The range was limited to 11lbs NEW, so we had to get that gone quick - like in one shot... What I've just described is small potatoes, compared to some of the charges that @Matt.Cross has set off. I'm not kidding...

What do you have on order or in the mail? Part 2

Haha! I wanna know who the guy was at their booth at SHOT Show this year - he was a RIOT! There were 5 of us rolling the floor together, and when we hit the Sprinco booth, we were there for an hour. Whoever the guy was in the booth - they need to raise his salary and sponsor his stand-up act... That was one funny bastard... -

That would be fantastic - thank you, Peach! -
Hell no, man - That's pretty smart. Put up some pics of that weirdo sometime.

Small framed and need to start concealed carrying.

That was good... -
Nope, but that would be awesome with some trip wire, right there. I've daisy-chained 18 of them together with det cord - 12 across the range, the made the turn for 6 more up the range. There was alot more daisy-chained into that particular charge, and it was a HOOT!!!

If you guys didn't notice all the Site Sponsor updates - check them / click them once in awhile, just to look something up. Every single time you click on one of the Sponsor banners, it records that it comes from this message board. That in itself is a gold mine.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Thank you very much, brother - I do alot of squats.

All Rob's guns are made from pure 150% Mandalorian armor, man. They're not just badass, they're beyond badass...

You Star Wars, too, or just Star Trek, fucker?...

Destructive Devices are legal. Gotta jump through the hoops to legally get/buy them, just like all other stamped items. I can't even imagine how much a legal M18A1 Claymore would go for... It would be massive $$$. I don't even know what it would take to legally set one off, permission-wise, or if there even is such a thing. There would have to be, because you'd have to declare your legal, stamped "destructive device" now defunct. I'm lucky to have even been able to fuk with them, and I've fucked with them extensively... Might be my favorite weapon, ever. Well, maybe. 90mm Recoiless Rifle is epic. 106mm Recoiless Rifle is probably the best thing since sliced bread. Fuk me, I wish I was still in...

That's a DPMS-based LR-308 mag pattern, my good man. It'll fit the A Series just fine, though.

I have a deep love for the M18A1 Claymore Mine. That's an unrivaled perimeter defense weapon, and I've set them up for real. I've blown up alot of them in training, too. It's pretty fucking epic to stick a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" ply about 20 yards in front of one, and let it loose. Let that thing eat... Steps for the Claymore. ICPAARC. Remember that acronym, and you'll never fuk it up./ That's the shortcut that people can remember, that makes motherfuckers remember the steps. Else, you fuk yourself up with it. I - inventory the mine. Inside the M7 satchel, there will be the M18A1 Claymore mine, with two shipping plugs installed, M57 firing device, M40 test set, 50feet of firing wire (17 meters), with blasting cap attached. C - Conduct circuit test. Attach the M57 firing device to the M40 test set, and clack that thing. If it's real, and not a fucked up trainer, that M40 test set will light up the indicator light the first clack. P - Place the mine. Run that bastard all the way out from your position, the full 50feet, if terrain permits - you run the wire out there, from your firing position, so you know the end of it, and how far out to put the mine. If "terrain does not permit," you better watch your shiit if you have to let that thing go. I'm just sayin'. The backblast is pretty fucking violent. A - Aim the mine. Slit-type sight or Peep sight. Different methods for aiming both. A - Arm the mine. Pull that left or right shipping plug, insert blasting cap, reinstall shipping plug. That bitch is live, right then. You better have that M57 firing device ON YOU, too. Some jackass private behind you might think it's a good time to "test" it again, with no M40 test set on the wire... Fucking Privates... R - Re-Aim the mine. You just fucked with it, arming it - verify that it's still aimed. C - Conduct circuit test again, with M57 firing device AND M40 test set. Again, if it's real, that M40 will light the first "clack." Remove the M40 test set at this point, and attach the M57 firing device directly to the wire. When shiit goes south, send that bitch up. Gawd dayum, I love Claymores...

Properly dressed and prepared - tasted great with gravy. And the cats are worry-free now. I'm just sayin'...

I know what you do, brother - you let them eat, and fatten up. Then you WHACK EM!...
