I love that statement. The over-gassed ones they're talking about probably aren't over-gassed at all - more than likely, they're under-recoiled... @Lr-308FUn, your new gas tube came out perfect - right on the money, dead center of the cam pin cutout.

That really did happen, too. Then some smartass anonymously sent me a bag of 10 gas tube roll pins...

High speed only if it's a HSS bit. I usually drill them at a somewhat medium speed, very light pressure - let the bit do what it does, don't force it.

Badass, right here - this is a good video of his life.

Get ready for the custom gas tube from White Oak. No other way around it, but it works.

You don't wanna do that... It involves you completely committing 90% of all your "disposable income" to the recommendations of the board, in order for the board to further your Black Rifle Sickness - it's a deep drop down that rabbit hole once you take that step. *** You maintain 10% of your disposable income, for when you run out of bread, milk, shiit like that... There have been several in the past that were brave enough to risk it, but the most recent guys to go down that road are @COBrien and @RedRiverII...

Get the Orange for your .308AR - have him get a Red Spring for that 45AR. You can test them both that way... You'll need the Orange, he'll probably need the Red over the Orange, anyway. I'm trying out an Armalite EA1095 spring in my 45AR soon - when I can beat the heat here. I'll raid an Orange spring from my .260 Rem to try in it.

Soak up the stuff in this section - lot's of recent developments in PCCs, and the new info out there as far as springs. Sprinco Orange Spring, minimum, have a Sprinco Red Spring standing by to test out. Pistol buffer, for sure - 4 1/8" long and at least 7oz, minimum. Blowback operation is rough on these things, and we found out with the 10mm "lite" guys lately, the .40 cal PCCs. KNS non-rotating pin set. Blowback operated pistol builds will break hammer pins. The KNS set minimizes that as much as it can.

Watching the live reveal of the 2020 Corvette right now - and it is bad...

They're watching your history, brother...

Come on, Matt... You didn't know?

I'm two down - that mean the next one is the keeper, Rene?...

I caught the comment, and laughed - I knew you hid it in there, but you better watch it, man... You hit this "After the 4th" thing pretty hard...

Wow! That guy shouldbe facing more than "a maximum of 25 years" for that stuff. Especially the security-clearance implications.

Fire up a link to their online stuff, and I'll compare it to what's in my book.

Damn, my freebie came in today, and I forgot to check mail...

True, but... I taught YODA what the knows about this shiit, and he's still working on it...

Even taking it in another turn and notching the bottom to clear the buffer retainer pin isn't gonna give you 1/4"that you need, or even the 1/8" to prevent contact. Smart pic, on the bottom-good thought process. You can see that the BCG body steps up in size at 7 1/8" from the end of the buffer bumper - which will compress, slightly. They don't move much, but they move a little bit. That just tears up lower receivers... Quarters are 0.069" thick, and one inch in diameter. They fit perfect inside the receiver extension. You'd need a minimum of 3, probably 4, inside that receiver extension to get it closer to a 7.000"internal that it should be at. 3 slightly under, 4 slightly over, that 1/4" that you need to take away in BCG travel. I've seen 7 1/4" extensions from them before, as well as 8.000"internal, 7 5/8" internal, and 7.000" internal. I've seen some 7.100" internal on the Aero Precision M5 carbine recoil kits, and that even causes weird function issues.

Where was the Appleseed that you went to that went to 800 afterwards? What range was it held at?

Every PA-10 is different, literally, over the years. It all comes down to what they put together, and shipped you - which more comes down to determining what you received. Measurements, measurements, measurements... That's the only way to find out what you're really working with, and what you need to solve to make it functional in all aspects of it's operation...

@RedRiverII, you ever see the movie "Inception"?... It's about the plot, within the plot, within the plot, infiniti... I planted that seed with the comment I quoted up there ^^^... We FIND that $4 per-shot expensive 6.5C ammo - let that data dwell in there for some time...and that's our gateway into spending as much as you want on reloading equipment, man... We have to cultivate this, though, and it takes time...

This very well might be the Quote Of The Year, right here...

I'd eat at that taco truck everyday, just because of the sense of humor...

The only two Carbine Receiver Extension internal-depth specs you're ever going to see are 7.000" internal and 7 5/8" internal. Armalite still does 6 15/16" on their AR-15 carbine extensions, but 7.000" works fine. On a rifle recoil system, there is only one depth to keep track of, and that's 9 11/16", doesn't matter if it's AR-15 or .308AR. You go to a long-action cartridge (30-06 and above) in the AR Platform, and all that info ^^^ might be out the window - it's up to the manufacturer of that platform to "figure it all out..." *** Info is NOT Rock River Arms (RRA) LAR-8. They do their own thing.

For a 2.500" buffer in a .308AR, you need to verify that the buffer is really 2.500", and verify that the internal depth of the receiver extension is 7.000". Armalite AR-15 spec is actually 6 15/16". At any rate,7.000" internal (measured at the top, not bottom) is the internal depth number that you need to keep the BCG from slamming into the ears on the lower receiver. I see you mentioned the 18" barrel from them. I'm sure you've found the post on that, its gas port size, and the gas system that they send to run that config - I know you found the gas tube situation already. If not, on the barrel gas port info, I'll point it out. Welcome aboard.
