  1. Please address this while you're at it.
  2. Hornady White Tail is all SOFT POINT, loaded with their Interlock projectile. Either RN, SP, BTSP. All of it. Have you never seen the warnings about soft point ammo in AR-type semi-auto platforms, and possible feeding problems?... Pics of your bolt gun under a dime would be nice, group count is important. Show me that's happening with a 10-rd group. I'd still like to see you address what's happening with my 850-yard shots, and why it's not opening up like crazy, since my ELD-M tips have to be damaged from loading through an AR-type platform...
  3. I bought a damn gas tube that came with two roll pins. I didn't know what to do with the second roll pin, it's so damn small. I poured a little water on it, added a touch of MIracle Grow, and it turned into a damn whole gun in short order!...
  4. Oh, you were on the website, but it was too much to grab the link to this stock?... https://www.missionfirsttactical.com/BMSMIL-EXD
  5. Use a Geissele Super Gas Block, and pin it. No worries, then. That's my plan for it.
  6. My thoughts exactly. Pretty badass little light, especially for how damn tiny it is.
  7. Welcome aboard, man! Good to have "the other half" here, too. Let us know when we can help.
  8. You're purely speaking hypothetical, with zero practical to back that up. My guns aren't damaging the ELD-M tips when they chamber rounds. I can tell you this - My .260 Rem AR only gets fed Hornady 147gr ELD-Ms. Only. My Grendels only get fed Hornady 123gr ELD-Ms. Only. They don't have any issues whatsoever with "groups opening up" at 850 yards. No issues. I'll get a good 1k set up and bring the targets.
  9. That's an Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube, so good on any .308AR "midlength" barrel that's not really drilled at midlength... ^^^ That really did happen...
  10. NOW I got it...
  11. I missed that part - but good deal! It sucks to have to fix these things like this, but it's still a test to verify proper operation. That's proof-positive that the extension wasn't right.

    Grilling

    Can't cook until it's late. Unbearable. 1/2 goes in the fridge, 1/2 gets vacuum sealed and goes in the freezer.

    Grilling

    This was the haul from the grill last night. 2 thick cut pork chops, scallops and shrimp on the grill... Stored in the fridge for the week now.
  14. Get the MagPul Glock mags. Outside of a couple factory Glock mags for my 19X, the only other Glock mags I have are MagPuls. Check that buffer length - if it looks just like that PSA carbine buffer, it's not the pistol PCC-specific buffer that New Frontier was talking about in their kit - which means the previous owner just slapped all this stuff together on a stripped New Frontier lower. And used whatever. The PCC-specific buffer will be 4 1/8" long, and should be close to 8oz.
  15. You can set the ejector height on those New Frontier lowers, brother - that's right in the FAQ on the complete-lower link I made above. That's gotta be checked first, and dump that spring.
  16. In this pic series, it clear that there's zero crimp on any of those, and you fed the ammo the way I suspected. Zero crimp on a semi is a pretty big issue, as you've just seen. Two important take-aways from this: Hot loads, if you keep going hotter and hotter - you're gonna end up puncturing primers. And, you have to crimp your loads if they're gonna be used in a semi-auto firearm. You have to crimp them pretty damn good in a lever gun, too, and the reason should be obvious. I'm just sayin'...
  17. Those Hornady 147 ELDs are all I use in the .260 Rem. Nothing else. Those are handloads, yes? Factory ammo won't have brass that color. You have a crimp issue, right off the bat, if your COAL is longer during extraction, than what you set them at when you loaded them. You definitely need more crimp. Second would be a chamber issue, if it's hanging up that ogive, enough to pull the projectile further from the case than what you set it at (that's aside from the crimp issue). Judging from the lack of a circular ring around the ogive, what's setting them longer is chambering them from a magazine, BCG locked to the rear, and using the bolt release to chamber the round. That would be almost an identical effect as using them in an inertia bullet puller... Because of the need for more crimp...
  18. New Frontier does some decent stuff, so its a good quality lower. I'd bet the previous owner just bought all the parts from them, so looking at this product page will help you in identifying parts, especially that recoil system. That's gonna be the #1 issue with cycling on these PCCs. https://www.newfrontierarmory.com/product-category/ar-45-10-platform/ This might be what the guy started with, right here: https://www.newfrontierarmory.com/shop/complete-c-45-pistol-lower-shockwave-pistol-brace/ That kit description already states that it's got an 8oz buffer, which is good - just make sure it's 4 1/8" in length. Receiver extension internal depth needs to be 7.000". The spring is probably what's giving you the issues, but you know where to go on that one already.
  19. Member-implosion, if you're talking about that cooled monster.
  20. The MagPul wrench will clear 1.370", and it's a beast.
  21. It's only a 12.5" barrel, and the gas system is right between midlength and carbine length -there's not alot of dwell time there. I'd have to go back to my 13.5" numbers and look at it, because it'll have near identical dwell time. Here it is:

    Grilling

    Gettin' ready to throw down on the grill for the week. At 9pm almost... I cook on weekends, store it up, and eat it through the week. I don't have time for that shiit during the week...
  23. Nah, I just want gun to run like they're supposed to, right from the factory. I just picked up on something in that pic, that will make sense. The two legs are forward on that tripod. You won't be able to "lean into it" without tipping it over. Leaning into it, loading it, will push it onto those two front legs, and push it off that back leg. Turn the tripod. One leg always has to be forward. Always. That's the deal on the M2 .50 Cal and the Mk19 grenade machine gun - same tripod. When you're shooting from a tripod on one of those big fuckers, you're between tripod legs - with a tripod leg facing forwards. Turn that tripod, get a leg forward, and you can load it. Much more gooder, in SE Ohio Speak...
  24. I love that one...
  25. Tacky Bitch rocks.
