That's my Nerd Magic, right there - fixing things that shoulda been fixed from the factory before it ever left there.

Pistol-Caliber Carbines, brother. In the "ar pistol" configuration, preferrably.

IWB, bro.

I'm lucky enough to not own any 10-rounders...

Shouldn't be a lack of lube then. "Good amount" for an AR15 isn't a good amount for these big things, though, so that's subjective. They need to be almost dripping. You also need to carbon seal the gas tube to the gas block, and the gas block to the barrel. To a lesser degree, you carbon seal the end of the gas tube to the carrier key on the BCG, as well. 25 rounds usually isn't enough to do that. More things to consider, when you're looking at the tolerances in manufacturing. Loose gas block?... Gonna take alot of carbon fouling to seal that one up, if it just slid right onto that barrel. Just an example.

Kinda yes. Kinda no. Depends on if you bought 500rds of Hornady Match Brass from him...

It's got Molle webbing on it - and some of them that they offer don't have any sewn pouches on the outside - just Molle webbing. You can add anything you want to those.

You'll never see news stories about the people that come back and don't have any problems, brother...

They're gonna come out the same way they went in. They were either (1) ready, prepared, and expecting to see/do what they did - trained to see it, counter, it, or mitigate it - or (2) they weren't. Most of those that are the former, have no issues. Most of those that are the latter - it fuks them up, depending on how bad it was.

Congrats, Gents!

VooDoo Tactical padded double-rifle case, 42".

Solid setup, man - well done.

NICE!!!

Very interesting, brother...

Bust, again today - no rings for the 375 CheyTac, yet. Waiting patiently, but this will be good. Killin' me, Smalls!!!....

How much lube is on this gun? Needs to be HEAVY with lube for the first bunch o' rounds.

That stuff isn't completely true. Training, training, training - and I'm talking about realistic training. Mindset, which you can train. This could turn into a long conversation.

Bel-Ray Waterproof Grease, or Maxima Waterproof Grease. I keep both on-hand, for all my motorcycle and quad shiit.

I could talk about that for hours, my brother. I can get Loquacious about that topic.

That won't be hard - just talk to us...

I'da been pretty freaked out, man, taking that thing apart and finding that it didn't HAVE a gas port!!! I would'a drilled you one. It would be in the right location, and it would be the right size - but I would'a shiit when I seen that!... I'm glad that's resolved, and you got a real answer. You don't see that much from other companies, when you have to send guns in. You get a bunch of BS from them, instead... Great news.

I see you are a student of LTC Dave Grossman. As am I, my brother.

Shims let you get it aligned at the lower end of the torque range. I wouldn't want to put one on at 80 - if I got close to that, I'd shim it and hit a lower number. Military Armorer's slam service rifles together routinely, and if it's going to 80 to make it - then it's going to 80. The only reason I wouldn't wanna put one on at 80 is because that fucker has to come apart sometime. Taking Greg's SBR upper apart was a tough one - but it came apart. All parts salvaged, nothing broke - but it sucked.

That's wild. I can see getting so nervous or shaken that you mess the powder charge up - I can see that easily. Spill more than you charge.There's a reduced charge, right there, waiting to be fired, and not get a projo out of that long barrel. Or, next to last step before you fire, you don't notice that you missed the cap, dropped the cap, or didn't seat the cap - and it falls out. Last step, you don't take it from half-cocked to full-cock and try to fire it - reduced hammer speed... Alot can contribute to that, but I never, ever knew there were that many problems. That's pretty eye-opening... 😮

That's the nasty I was talking about. This is a bad scene...
