  1. The trigger set sucks - it's just milspec. Shitcan that part of it, run the LaRue, and you're GOLD...
  2. Barrel nut is with the rail. .260 Rem is just necked-down .308 Win brass, to the .264" 6.5mm bullet - .308 BCG is what is needs. Get the ToolCraft .308 Win BCG. Or get the Aero Precision .308AR BCG - it's the same thing...
  3. Oh shiit...
  4. Fukkin' SICK setup, brother!...
  5. I KNEW that would attract you directly into this thread... I almost stated that when he made his post - but I figured, "Wait for it, waaaaaaait fooor it..." You delivered, brother, once again, big time...
  6. Happy Birthday, Devin!!!
  7. $1300 is not too high for this rifle. Not in the least. No way near that. Don't back down from that... If that rail was fixed (I know what the deal is with it, and it's an easy fix), that's a $1600 gun, all day long. All. Day. Long. Let the nay-sayers tell me I'm crazy here. Just the fact that someone is getting the MOST sought-after rail in AR-10/.308AR existence makes it a $2k gun, if the rail were perfect...
  8. My recoil system is a "hybrid experiment," so don't do it. It works for me on my handloads on 147s, but it didn't work with a solid charge of powder for the 140s - it's too heavy to cycle the 140s - but works like a champ n the 147s?... 5.7oz home-made 2.500" buffer, Sprinco Orange spring, mil-spec (verified) AR-15 Carbine receiver extension Just run the Armalite AR-10 Carbine recoil system, and you'll be good. Gas port on that barrel was 0.070". Armalite AR-10 Rifle gas tube, to get it right. Aero Precision NiB BCG, complete (which is just a ToolCraft Nib BCG). LaRue MBT-2S trigger. Aero M5 upper, lower, M5 rail. Generic 0.750" lo-pro gas block. LaRue LT-158 mount, 10MOA cant, 30mm. Athlon Argos BTR 6~24x50 scope, illuminated mil-dot reticle. AB Arms Urban Sniper Stock (the original one), with the optional butt pad. Vortex 30mm scope level. VG-6 6.5 Gamma brake. Springs, pins, all that jazz was Armalite parts, minus the Aero pivot/takedown pins. MagPul M-LOK bipod. That's about it, soup-to-nuts, brother. Running the original MagPul SR-20 P-Mags. Fucking laser. I feel that if the gasport was 0.080", it would run my 140gr load, on standard .308 Win match-type powder (Accurate 2495). It's doing so well with a Magnum powder (Alliant RL-22) and the 147s,that I'm not gonna change it, or drill that gas port. Sucks that I bought an 8lb jug of Accurate 2495 to run 140s, though. I'll use that 8lbs in some badass .308 Win loads... There she is, brother...
  9. FUK YEAH, BROTHER!!!! Welcome to the Family!!!
  10. That little fucker SHOOTS!!! Nice!!!
  11. Virba-tite is a different kind of thread-locker. It's not at all like Loc-Tite, with many of the Loc-Tite types that dry and "lock" the threaded parts together. They get all crusty when you take them apart. You can use Vibra-tite over and over, without reapplication, because it never really "dries." That the awesome part about using it on firearm's applications. I mainly only use it on scope mounts, bases and rings, and use the Vibra-tite VC-3 compound. That 548 you're using looks like it bonds cylindrical fittings - not really a threadlocker. If that's the game, then use Loc-Tite 609 for that job.
  12. Damn, that is one sweet shotgun. Very well done.
  13. HTS-2000 aluminum brazing rod will fix that spot of damage up in no time. Let's see how the sale ad goes. I'd fix that thing right up.
  14. DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!!!... The scope didn't come in yet, as of today, and the wrong adjustable rings came in. We were double screwed, so tomorrow wasn't meant to be. Next Sunday, it's on, though. And now, back you your regularly scheduled programming... Please stay tuned for updates...
  15. No word on whether all the scope mount parts came in. Tried to call him twice today, went to VM. He must have been smoked at the shop - which is good, and bad. That means he didn't get the damn scope mounted...
  16. Happy Easter, fuckers... This one is pertinent, too...

    Grilling

    If that's the case - you might not be going to sleep, brother!...
  18. You gonna be over here for this one, brother? I'm LONG overdue on delivering a badass-painted truck gun to you...
  19. Here's the link - there's some pretty significant stuff on a serious sale... It's pretty good. Pick your discount percentage and look in there. Like NTX stated, handguards are under the 75% tab, and barrels are under the 50% tab. https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Spring-Cleaning-Blowout/departments/1129/?utm_source=Wilson+Combat&utm_campaign=3fb9b963b3-SpringBlowoutSale_04_19_2019&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d7d9381842-3fb9b963b3-35734037
  20. Damn! That is some nice leather. I've always been a HUGE FAN of Mernickle Holsters, but some of that stuff right there is damn nice! https://www.mernickleholsters.com/ Bob and Sherrie Mernickle are WAY cool people.
  21. Which one did you buy? There are two 14.7" on sale, one midlength gas (Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas) and the other one is that weird "intermediate gas that they just started doing, with the 13.25" gas tube... Weird one: https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Match-Grade-Barrel-338-Federal-Recon-Tactical-147-1-10-Twist-Stainless-Fluted/productinfo/TR-338RC14F-10/ "Normal" one: https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Match-Grade-Barrel-338-Federal-Recon-Tactical-147-1-10-Twist-Stainless-Fluted/productinfo/TR-338RCS14F-110/
  22. Those hookers. They would be better off noticing the diameter of your cylinder, rather than the length of your barrel...
  23. .338 Fed is an EASY neck up on .308 Win brass, brother. I'm just sayin'...
  24. FUCKIN' SmartPhones!!!...
