You've raised a very, very valid point...

Next Fall Shoot, we'll look for some kinda expiration date on that can I got... If there isn't one...

Damn, that last pic is even better than the first - very well done on that gun.

I keep some canned goods in my camper - and I have one of those Sweet Sue canned chickens in there. It's only there in case some fucker gets brave during a Fall Shoot, and tries to out-do Angel... Shiit you not, brother... Next time I'm in the camper, I'll get a pic of it in it's hiding place...

Fuk yeah, they can... They're good people, though, too. In 2010 I ordered a gen-u-wine Armalite 16" midlength gas 5.56 barrel from them - to be for a birthday-present build. The barrel that came in was a 20" rifle gas barrel... I called them immediately, and explained that I got the wrong barrel shipped, and had 4 days to get this gun built. They told me not to worry about it, and they'd take care of it. They overnighted me the correct barrel, and and included the shipping tag for the return of the other barrel. They didn't even need the other barrel back first... "Just put it in the box that this next one comes in, same packaging and padding, tape it up and stick that label on it..." Fuk yeah! They fuckin' rock, and that solidified my expensive relationship with them, right then. They hooked my up with magazines after Sandy Hook, too. Spent 30 minutes with me on the phone, to gather them up for me. I could go on and on about them, and the stories - they're just great people...

I just found this info - did a little re-research on Quarter Circle 10. I've had a 9mm Colt-mag/UZI mag lower from them since 2012 - back when they were making all of DDLES stuff for them. They're recommending the Sprinco RED spring as the preferred spring for PCCs. The Sprinco Orange spring is a heavy duty .308AR spring, for .308ARs using the 7.000" extension and a 2.500" buffer length. The Sprinco Red spring is a heavy duty .308AR spring for use with 7 5/8" extensions and a 3.250" H3 buffer. I don't know if that spring is heavier than the Armalite EA1095 spring - but that's what Sprinco makes as an upgrade to that system. https://www.quartercircle10.com/products/parts-accessories/lower-small-parts/buffer-spring-xp.html This is also something I mentioned to Larry earlier - I brought up the Sprinco Adjustable buffer that I saw at SHOT. QC10 makes their own version, just for PCCs. It adjusts from 5 to 11 ounces, and is 4 1/8" long. This is badass. The price seems crazy, but it reflects all the tungsten weights you're getting - that ain't bad. https://www.quartercircle10.com/adjustable-pistol-buffer.html In a .40 PCC, I'd be running that buffer at 11oz with that Sprinco Red spring, just to start off...

You certainly can. Ballistic Advantage makes some great barrels, too. Fine choice.

Funny thing is - I don't own a whole Armalite-anything... I think $319 is the MSRP on that beast - that's the price that showed on Armalite's website. My DSG price was $250-ish, or something like that. They give good discounts to Mil/LEO/First Responders. DSG are great people. I've been shopping with those guys for 10 years. My "order history" is pretty fucking scary, when I look at the total $$$...

See my post above this one.

In stock at DSG Arms: https://dsgarms.com/arm10002001 All I did was search the part number, "Armalite 10002001"

Dimensions and weight work - should be fine. Primary Arms is a solid vendor, so if it doesn't work, from them, I'll buy if from you for what you have to pay. That's my PA Money-Back Guarantee.

These .40s are not fucking around - that's alot of force for a blowback pistol-cal AR. You chipped your lower receiver at the top - because something hit it. Something being the back of the gas key? You flatten that buffer bumper so bad that the gas key hit the top of the lower? WTF happened there, bro? I'm absolutely certain that all these .40 PCC manufacturers are just saying "you can run standard AR PCC parts in these!" and that's just not the case. That round - doesn't fuk around.

Wind is a MFer, brother. Anything under 600, it doesn't matter. It starts to matter at 600. At 800 it's tough if it's over 5~7mph. At 1k, it's murder. I can't get a break down here with it, either. Seems everytime I go out recently, it's a variable of 7~11mph, never constant. It pisses you off...

The guy backed out of the purchase... Sucks, the commitment and everything, cash, all that. Bonus - I still have a 375 CheyTac to shoot!...

That figures. Seriously.

They won't have BCG overtravel and hit the lower - but they travel WAY beyond the bolt stop/bolt catch - and break that motherfucker on the last round. Lot of force coming forward, with more distance to travel, before it hits that bolt catch. It's like using a 3.250" buffer in a 7 5/8" extension, on a .308AR - except you're not slamming the ears on your lower. Specific Pistol buffers are 4 1/8" long, and weigh 7 or 8oz - remember, there's not a bolt sticking out of the front of these pistol BCGs - more overtravel before the bolt stop catches it, otherwise. Longer pistol buffers - or $1.75 in quarters stacked in the extension bottom - take up that space that the "no-bolt" leaves. The heavier buffer weight counteracts the force of blowback operation. Here's the Spike's pistol buffer that I stuffed in the AR9 and AR45:

These damn Texans are trying to take over the AZ Guys here. It's crazy! Welcome aboard, man.

That's scary, brother - was she hot?... I mean, before she turned?...

It pisses off EVERYONE IN DC... that's not a biker. It should never, ever end...

In a 7" extension, for a .308AR, that specific KAK buffer and the Sprinco Orange spring will not let you down.

My trigger control sucks tonight...

Triple-tapped this one.

I was there for Rolling Thunder in 2010, brother. We started the run by rolling down one of the airstrips that one of the planes took off from - one of the planes that were taken at 9/11. It was one of the most memorable rides I'll ever go on in my life. I've heard that this year was the last year for it, and that's a tragedy. This run should never stop. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/05/27/npr-rolling-to-a-halt-memorial-day-motorcycle-rally-ends-30-year-tradition

Tracking back through this thread, that's a verified 7.000" internal depth extension, Springco Orange spring, and KAK 5.3oz heavy buffer that's 2.500" long. If the BCG didn't lock back - your gas port is too small, or your gas tube is too short. It's one of those. Knowing how PSA ships these guns, it's both. I'd love to see pics of both these buffers, side by side, with a measuring tape next to both of them. You did state that this was a 7.000" internal depth extension. I'd love to know which buffer isn't exactly 2.500" long. Just trying to gather information, man - not attacking in any way. You DID order this very specific KAK buffer... right? This one, this very one: https://www.kakindustry.com/lr308-carbine-buffer-heavy

I'm such a 1911 whore, it ain't even funny - that's awesome work, Belt!
