@COBrien has got to have dibs on one of them, in this thread. Saving this for him...

That's crazy, but I'm in, man. You sure on that? PM me some payment preferences, and I'm all over that.

I cooked a rib-eye that tape-measured 1.5" thick tonight. I had to put the calipers to it (digital vernier's) to verify. My tape measure lied to me, telling me 1.5"... It was 1.448" thick. Pics coming up in the grilling thread... I only did that for you, brother...

I'm down with these two pics, brother. That's one of the best scope mount made, and the KAC grips can't be rivaled. I'm in for all 4 pieces in those two pics. Just lemme know what you need for them.

You get a couple years of "dik-sweat" on those things, from strokin' yourself so much about how badass the combo is, and the caliber that wrecks everything else, and it'll probably break down that grip, too... Just warnin' ya now... I'm just sayin'...

I switched over to just the K2 grip. Those rubberized K2"+" fuckers start to get weird after a couple years here, in the psycho-heat. After two "got sticky", I got rid of them. Plastic doesn't melt down here, but rubber turns to shiit. That ended me on the "+" setup from them. My $0.02 on those things...

SWEET JESUS, MAN!!! Can I fly up there and just go through your garage with you?... Just for shiits and giggles?...

The trigger set sucks - it's just milspec. Shitcan that part of it, run the LaRue, and you're GOLD...

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...

Oh shiit...

Fukkin' SICK setup, brother!...

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...

Happy Birthday, Devin!!!

$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...

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...

FUK YEAH, BROTHER!!!! Welcome to the Family!!!

That little fucker SHOOTS!!! Nice!!!

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.

Damn, that is one sweet shotgun. Very well done.

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.

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...

NICE, brother!!!

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...

Happy Easter, fuckers... This one is pertinent, too...

If that's the case - you might not be going to sleep, brother!...
