FUK!!!

I SWEAR I posted about this last night - and it's not here. You are right on the money, Doc, with everything you stated. Nailed it. .308ARs, collapsible receiver extensions. Two choices for tube internal depth - First choice is the 7.000" internal - the typical, mil-spec sized AR15 Carbine receiver extension. To run that AR15 part in a .308AR platform, you have to have (1) real no-shiit gen-u-wine DPMS LR-308 internal parts, that should come straight from DPMS. Trust NO ONE else to get that right. I'm only saying that for @survivalshop. Must use a 2.500" long carbine buffer with this extension depth, and most that you'll find will be 3.8oz. Too light. You want 5.4oz, but that's not easy with a 2.5" length. Best route to go is the KAK Heavy Buffer, at 5.3oz. Now, Option (2): Combine that 5.3oz KAK buffer with the Sprinco Orange spring, and you're golden. This buffer: https://www.kakindustry.com/lr308-carbine-buffer-heavy Next receiver extension depth is 7 5/8" internal depth. Not "almost" 7 5/8", not "kinda, but a little long..." 7.75" internal depth is TOO LONG - That's a fucked up receiver extension, right there. That depth needs to be exact. Reason is - You run a 3.250" long AR15 Carbine H3 buffer, that weighs 5.4oz. The buffer spring to run is the Armalite EA-1095 spring. Armalite combines those parts in a kit, and it's CHEAP compared to piecing it together - $60 for the extension, EA-1095 spring, 3.250" H3 buffer, castle nut and lock ring. Armalite makes the extension (AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension), MagPul makes the SR-25/M110 extension, @Robocop1051 makes an exact-spec extension, and VLTOR makes the A5 extension (2 flavors of it for collapsible stocks - 6 position and 7 position - another, for pistol config, though. 3 total from VLTOR). Those are the only known, verified 7 5/8" internal-depth .308AR extensions that I know of. Everything else is suspect, until purchased and verified by someone.

Eat a pack of match heads. Old school matches, in the paper flip-open pack. Pack in every MRE. Every other day, eat a pack with the MRE. Just the match heads - don't eat the rest of the paper stick... Mosquitos, Ticks, Chiggers - don't wanna have anything to do with you, because you smell like sulfur. Yeah, you might stink - but the bugs don't fuk with you. At all.

She's hotter than a tire fire... There's a Taran Tactical-customized STI 2011 in there, I think that's his primary carry gun. I'll know for sure tomorrow night!

Hell yes, brother... That song, though... "How do I get my tomahawk back?..." GET IT BACK? Nobody is taking mine from me in the first place. If they can get it, then it means I damn sure don't need it anymore, forever...

Glocks, customized by Taran Butler, plus a 19X, SIG MPX... Here's some of Halle Berry's training at Taran's complex:

^^^ Indeed, it is.

I think they stopped the 20mm several years ago, and Quad Cities picked up it's manufacture.

Get ready, folks. Thursday night release. I already have my ticket, at the urging of Gun Pusher John... I hate Colbert anymore (total liberal POS), but this is pretty funny:

Combined with the small gas ports on the 18" midlength gas barrels, and the short gas tubes. All that stuff played in together... Weak recoil system is the easiest to fix athome,for most folks, though, instead of taking apart uppers and drilling gas ports to the proper size...

"Different calibers" is what that means. Lake City is small-arms only now. Of the 5 case lines that they make, I know of 4. 9mm, 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, and 50 BMG. Not sure what the 5th is, but it might be 30-06, since GWOT started, and it's back in use in some platforms. Might be .45ACP, since it's back again, because of GWOT. They're gearing up for the new 6.8mm sniper round, though: http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2019/4/4/lake-city-factory-readies-for-new-6-8-mm-round Here's some 1996-based history on Lake City: https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a315683.pdf

Pay attention to Maj Toure, who started "Black Guns Matter." This guy is gonna make a difference. Look up some of his stuff - the country is gettting tired of the polical rhetoric, and the constant jump to "the gun is the problem." America is waking up, a little. Get that word out, brothers.

This is a good opinion on the whole tragedy. The Brady idiots showed up to the vigil, a couple Dems showed up to the vigil - tried to turn it into political BS, and use the audience. The parents and kids of the school walked out. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/frank-miniter-student-walkout-at-colorado-shooting-vigil-is-a-good-sign By Frank Miniter | Fox News The very public scene of hundreds of Colorado students and their parents walking out of a vigil that was turned into political theater by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence was so embarrassing that the gun control group actually issued an apology. Before leaving the Wednesday night event, students shouted, in front of journalists who the Brady Campaign invited: “this is not for us,” “political stunt” and “we are people, not a statement.” The Brady Campaign had portrayed the event as a vigil in memory of Kendrick Castillo, a student hero who died from gunshot wounds after he and two other students charged one of the attackers Tuesday at the Highlands Ranch STEM School in Colorado. Eight other students were injured in the shooting. Two students were arrested and accused of the attack. Instead of putting together an event to bring people together to mourn, the gun control group brought in activists and Colorado politicians – Democratic presidential contender U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Democratic U.S. Rep. Jason Crow – to push a one-sided political agenda. The speakers said they weren’t there to just offer thoughts and prayers, but that they instead were there to push for more restrictions on the right to bear arms. We saw this with events after the shooting at Parkland High School in Florida. T events, including a CNN town hall, weren’t open forums or vigils. They were orchestrated propaganda designed to push a political cause. The CNN event even featured then-Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel. He vociferously stuck to the gun control narrative. He should have known – and we would all soon find out – that a school resource officer stayed outside during the attack. President Trump later called the officer a “coward.” Turning grieving students into props for an agenda has become what these gun control groups and the mainstream media do after shootings. This has become so choreographed that the Brady Campaign was caught flat-footed when hundreds of students and their parents wouldn’t be extras in the production. This is an important moment because it signals that a less ideological time is coming. Groups like the Brady Campaign and the politicians who agree with them have been treating legal gun ownership as a problem that needs to be solved. They are blaming law-abiding gun owners for the actions of criminals as a way to impose more controls on the citizenry. This political treatment of an important issue has made it difficult to even have an intelligent discussion about the problem. How can an open and honest dialogue be possible when the mainstream media and so many Democrats prefer to blame America’s 100-million-plus gun owners? Law-abiding gun owners enjoy shooting competitions, hunting or simply want to defend themselves and their loved ones. They should not be blamed for the evil actions of criminals and those with serious mental health problems. Guns have been commonly owned by Americans since before the beginning of our republic, but school shootings are a modern trend. Yet they are not new. The most deadly attack on a school actually occurred in 1927 in Bath, Mich., when a trustee from a local school board detonated 600 pounds of dynamite he placed inside the Bath Consolidated School. Andrew Kehoe killed 44 people, including 38 elementary school children and his wife. He then committed suicide by detonating a final explosion in his truck that also killed another three adults and a child. There is a lot of evidence, however, that some things have changed. There is certainly a mental health crisis growing in our youth in America. Suicide rates among the young, especially those between 15 and 24, have climbed rapidly in recent years. Levels of anxiety and depression among young people are also up. The reasons for this growing epidemic are numerous and many researchers are studying the problem. But it is clear that if we honestly target the actual problem things can be done. Often, after a murderer strikes a school or another so-called “gun-free zone,” we find that the person responsible was calling out for help. Parents try, but they too often can’t find enough resources. The bureaucracy has also failed us again and again. Too often the killers weren’t stopped before they acted, even though many people reported them to the proper authorities. Various federal, state and local agencies have also too often failed to give the names of people prohibited from owning firearms to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), so these people can at least be stopped from legally buying a gun. Political differences aside, imagine if the media actually treated gun rights groups honestly. The National Rifle Association (full disclosure, I write a weekly gun rights column for the NRA) has the School Shield program that sends teams of experts to schools to help them create safer environments. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for firearms manufacturers, has lobbied for FixNICS and many other initiatives to keep guns out of the hands of those who are prohibited from owning them. Instead of demonizing these groups, imagine if the mainstream media were willing to be more factual and nuanced in their reporting. Solutions would become much clearer in such a climate. The students who boldly walked out en masse as they chanted “mental health, mental health” from what shouldn’t have been a political event did shock the mainstream media into actually reporting on the story. That’s a big step toward finding honest solutions to a horrifying problem.

^^^ That's even better in person - you put some great thought into it, and it worked out fantastic.

That would be great! - That's what most of us do when we're using a new part that hasn't been out in the wild yet...

What the shiit is that one?! When did they do that?...

Lesson 65b is the other big one. Lesson 65b - You snooze, you lose. You see something for sale, or on sale - and you look at it long enough, study it, try to find a better price comparison, etc... And someone else will already have it bought, or it'll be out of stock. You see something you like, you better grab it.

That storm system is affecting me, too, but I can't say it's in a bad way. The entire southwest keeps getting the residual cloud cover, and temps have been down. We've only had one 100-degree day so far this year. Normally, by this time, I'd be deep into the 110s already. It's been a very weird spring, that's for sure. Stay dry over there - keep to the high ground.

It would look great on one of the cobalt P80s.

Giant army ammo depot out there, brother - Tooele Army Depot. I pissed around at Dugway Proving Grounds out there in 1990 - that place is pretty scary. Unexploded chem munitions on the ground... It's one of those times when you say, "Man, I wish this could SUCK MORE!..."... and they tell you, "Okay. Here's the deal - live chems on the ground. Watch your step, ladies..." Fuk me.

Doesn't matter, brother - that barrel would be SICK on that build!...
