I had to look these things up - and they are UGLY... They looked almost as fucked up as Camel Spiders, which themselves look like Predator... ...

You ever get stuck on a RZR question, lemme know. I've been working on these things for a long, long time. There's a lot of BS on RZR Forums, too. I've solved alot of problems for that company, that they didn't even know about. I started their gas-tank recall, that they issued to dealers in August 2015 - except my 6 gas tank problems all happened within a week, in April 2015. Took that long...

We sucked you in, like we usually do with new, good guys. You don't even realize the depths of our influence yet, and how fucked you are, but you will, eventually...

That's fucking INSANE. That means they passed a law that directly SHOVES the medical profession directly into gun ownership. What I own as far as firearms goes is nobody's business, if they're in the medical/healthcare profession. None of their business. That State is losing it's shiit... That's the worst gun law I've ever, ever heard of.

6.5mm projectiles turbo-charge 30-caliber brass, no matter what the cartridge. Neck down some 30-cal cartridge to 6.5mm projectiles, and you'll always see a speed gain, distance gain, etc. That comes from the efficiency of the 6.5mm projectiles. I've already been deep into necking down my .308 Win brass to 6.5mm - that's the .260 Remington. One of these days, I'll neck down a 30-06 to 6.5mm in a bolt gun, and run the thing (that's the 6.5-06 A Square wildcat cartridge) . It would be fun doing that to a 300 Win Mag, too... (basically, a .264 WinMag)...

Read up on the headspace thread that in the "What you need to know" section.

You'll routinely be able to "find" ejector marks on semi-auto AR-type brass. Very rarely is there "nothing" there. On yours, can you feel that mark, when you run your finger over it? If no, don't sweat it. If yes, then bevel that ejector a little - it already has a nice bevel around the edge, but it's got that sharp transition... The ejectors that leave the worst marks, no matter what, don't even have a chamfer around the edge of them, and they're square-shouldered. I learned long ago to knock those things down and save my brass, but that's only because I reload. If I didn't reload, it wouldn't even concern me.

0.081" should run the gun on any decent ammo. I went 0.085" on one I was working on, just in case any ammo was needed, even inexpensive steel-cased foreign ammo. Now, the other side of that mentality - you can run 0.085" just fine on yours, based on the adjustable gas block you're gonna use. Go Big or Go Home!... Drill it to the 0.085" and if you want to tame it down, you have that capability through the adjustable gas block. Justmake sure you realize this right now - brand new build, brand new parts need to carbon-seal, through carbon fouling. Run the AGB in the wide open setting while you're breaking in the gun, and letting the carbon fouling seal the gas block-to-barrel, and gas-tube-to-gas-block.

XDS-9 is a good pistol, brother. Well done. What fucked up laws were just passed in WA?...

This will be big, in the future - Leonardo DiCaprio eating a volleyball...

Don't even sweat what PSA sent you for that recoil system then. Save that 7.000" internal extension for an AR-15 build in the future, and you can salvage four parts from the buffer that you were sent - you can save the buffer bumper and roll pin as a spare, and you can keep the two tungsten weights that are inside to convert a standard AR-15 buffer over to an H2 buffer later. The buffer body - smash it with a hammer and enjoy the satisfaction, and throw that spring away... JMHO...

Same thing you'd use any short shotgun for: https://forum.308ar.com/uploads/monthly_2018_10/VID_20181018_162901631.mp4.96aaa9e99466aeddeb8b762a60c10456.mp4

That bottom one is the original Scorpion. Somewhere in a box, I've got real printed pictures of one that Manuel Antonio Noreiga used to own - before we took it, along with everything else in his beach house. The maps were invaluable. Circa 1989.

Okay, that CAN work. With the right buffer and buffer spring. That spring you listed... junk. The buffer you listed is too light (3.8oz and should hit on or right near 5.4oz). You stated you already have the Armalite AR-10 buffer tube assembly on order - is that the complete AR-10 Carbine Recoil System? Or just the receiver extension (buffer tube) ?. Is it this, here?: https://www.armalite.com/product/ar10rekit01-6-position-receiver-extension-kit/

Pics or it didn't happen, my brother...

You will be adjusting down that gas block, in that diameter gas port... What was it before you drilled it up? For 18" rifle-gas, that 0.875" gas block diameter has alot to do with it. If you're quoting the chart in the FAQ that I think you are, those numbers only cover 0.625" and 0.750" gas block diameters. You punched it to 0.125". Max gas port diameter is 0.125", because that's the max size hole you can drill in a gas tube. Nothing can ever go over 0.125", unless you're dealing with some serious custom-built-from-scratch stuff...

You're on the right track with that first post, and thank you for the thank you. Means more than you know. Is that the internal depth of your receiver extension, that they sent you?!...

Hard to say, but if you walked into Fall Shoot and dropped that kinda info and knowledge, we'd all be impressed enough to give you a Pants-Down Hug...

That's a good update, of success - very well done.

Here some Metallica, ONE, for you guys. This was June 8th, 2019 at Slane Castle in Ireland - right after the 75th Anniversary of D-Day.

Don't push it - just recover at your own pace. There's always gonna be some doc somewhere (not EyeDoc here) that's gonna give you a "timeline." That's just a bunch of averages, and there's a high side and low side to every average, no other way it can be. Recover at the pace of you. Don't get in there and listen to one of them tell you that you need to be/should be here at here...

Shinedown, Monster - badass song by a great band. That's in my new favorites list for a few weeks now.

DON'T DO IT. Research the company first. There's plenty of info here on them, but there's a ton of it on the .www.

Project Pinky is almost 7 years old now - I've done mine. It's a hell of a shooter, too.
