This is not good...

^^^ I always label my load workup targets, and only shoot one target per load. That way, I get it done on paper, and I can take it home and figure out what went down. When I did this for the .260, I went up 0.3gr per load, x5 each. When climbing up in charge weight, I had a real good one, super suck one, and another real good one. I went back to that range of loads. That one that super sucked was on me, and further loads of 0.2gr apart showed that the one that sucked was 0.1gr from my final load. In it's final form now, that thing can slay dragons.

If I saw that gang of jackasses charging me and yelling like that, I would beat the everloving fuk out of them with a purple 3ft Double Headed Jelly Dong. They fukkin SUCK at bayonet drills, too.

We've got that in AZ. Gov Brewer got that one through before she left office. Any Fed laws passed after the date of the AZ law don't pertain to AZ... If you live in AZ, and you like your bumpstock - you can keep your bumpstock...

It states it right in the bill, 1108 - page 2 - yes, you get a tax credit for up to75% of the cost of your AR. First come, first served on that, and the pot of money for it is capped at one million doll-hairs. Now, we know who did their homework, and who did not...

CHeck out MIssouri House Bill 1108 - I hope this goes through! https://house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills191/hlrbillspdf/2290H.01I.pdf

Doesn't surprise me - after you stated you left a review, I went right over there to look for it. I certainly didn't see what you've posted above. This information is getting further and further out now. It's been a couple years now, for people to figure out what's going on. What you've discovered with the extractor, we've never seen before, here. The other stuff, we know the fixes on, to make the rifles function. It was up, and they yanked it. Hmmm... Not shocked.

He probably posted it, just for the very reason that this has already been decided, with a 54-page decision that outlined all of it... then it got political now, and the higher-than-Superior Court Judge, CT Supreme Court, made a NEW ruling that countered it. But they don't have the backup. They made it up. Uncle Ted was right posting that - it's already been decided,with details. Now, we have a bullshiit ruling that counters that. This will get squashed. I don't know if the liberals realize that, obviously celebrating right now, thinking "they've won!..." - but they've just handed the perfect case to the US Supreme Court...

It keeps getting better all the time, brother, no kidding. Long Distance, High Angle, short-course pistol, medium distance, rifle/pistol combo. Shotgun whatever you want. We've developed the dream, man, big time. Talks this past weekend were around going in as a group, and buying that property - and building a bigass cabin on it.

Hell yeah!...

In the Desert Southwest. I do this out on open land, 12 miles from my house, whenever I want to. No kidding. It's a freedom that can't be imagined, but it's pretty cool. Make sure you check out the illum on the new scope first - try to find a local place that's got one in stock, and just check it out. If it's hard to see on 1 or 2 in a shop, it should do the trick at night, and not be too bright. If you can't even see setting 1, in a shop, it'll certainly get it done.

Yep, that was the 2016 ruling, from a CT Superior Court Judge. Now, there's this new ruling from the CT Supreme Court, over-ruling that one, allowing them to be sued. That came down just a few days ago. It won't stand up, it'll get tossed by the next higher court. Which will push it to the US Supreme Court...

^^^ That's the proper test, right there.

I have a CMMG bolt setup, phosphated. It was cheap at a gun show in Dulles, VA, and the mags were cheap, so I bought it. It works wonderfully, now, but it took alot of breaking-in. I eventually rubbed all the contact rails with a scotch-brite pad to smooth it out even more. I should have done that in the beginning, and saved ammo, but I didn't know, then. That was either 2009 or 2010. The stainless ones don't have that break-in issue, and they are ALOT more smooth-running, right out of the gate. I'd buy it again, honestly, even the phosphated one - and I'd short-cut that break-in on it, right away, now that I know.

Thank ya, brother, I mean that. Anyone can do this stuff - it's just a little bit of math and about 70% Nerd Magic. I'm just a knuckle-dragging geek running the math, with a little bit of practice. Once you understand the mechanics in all of it, estimate range, read wind accurately (enough), understand your scope internals, apply proper shooting fundamentals - it's easy to out to 800 on these calibers. With the right loads, it's easy to do with 5.56. I pulled it of with 25/45 the first time I tried it, but that was 17 mils of drop... Fuk me, that was rough... After that 800 yards, you need to make sure you're right on all that stuff, to connect. I'm gonna Google-Earth some coordinates tonight - I'm pretty sure I've got 1300 yards available, with great visibility. That'll be coming up before it gets hot here - so, SOON... We had some wicked-fucked-up wind out there that day, with gusts to 20. It kinda sucked.

Yep, I understand that. I'm talking about the other rifles from the same manufacturer, in the 18" versions - that everyone thinks are overgassed...

Adjustable gas has two purposes - regulate between suppressed and unsuppressed, so you're not beating up gun parts when you add your can. Next, race guns, where the follow-up shots have to be super-fast, and the gun has to be fast/flat shooting. They tailor a load based on competition numbers (power factor), then they cut that gas down so that load barely even functions the rifle. Crazy lightweight buffers and BCGs, super springs, adjustable gas... Everything in both systems (recoil and gas) gets cut in weight and pressure (gas pressure and spring pressure). Rack-grade rifles from manufacturers are not race guns. They need to function with great ammo and crap ammo, in all weather conditions, even if the shooter isn't shouldering it properly and doesn't have the stock planted in the pocket of the shoulder (effectively "limp-wristing" it by not giving it a foundation to recoil off of). I have no suppressors - yet. I don't own a single adjustable gas block, either. My rifles need to function on any ammo, but they need to function, number one. I only had to change one up completely, because I bought a bunch of quality factory parts - that weren't right. Took me quite some time to determine what the issues were, too. After that, I learned my lesson, and carefully selected allmy recoil system and gas system parts, and I really payed attention to gas port diameter. I was bound and determined not to repeat the mistakes I made trusting a big-name manufacturer to get it right in the Big ARs. I could benefit from adjustable gas blocks on all my rifles, because I reload - I tailor a load to each gun, so I could cut gas down. Then, as soon as I need some ammo from wal-mart for something, the gun doesn't work... Since everything else, hardware-wise, is correct, I don't need an adjustable block, because it's not recoiling like a fiend on me, and it'll run anything I throw in it...

With 0.070" gas ports on 18" mid-gas barrels, they weren't overgassed. That gasport is about 0.010~0.015" too small for that configuration, on a 0.750" gasblock diameter. They didn't have enough buffer weight, nor recoil spring strength... Take the weights out of one of your AR15 carbine buffers, and get it to about 1.5oz. Shoot it like that - it'll feel overgassed, too... That's the easiest way to explain it.

That all depends on the nature of the issue with the rifle. The most common complaint about them is that they are overgassed, and everyone tells them to get an adjustable gasblock to cure that. Pretty hard to be overgassed when the gas port diameter is smaller than it should be.

I was hoping you were going to say that - that is great news, and you have nothing to worry about, then. I can tell you that Sierra Game Kings are accurate, and Hornady SSTs are accurate. I haven't loaded any GMXs or ELD-Xs yet, myself, but they're supposed to be good. The ELD-X is supposed to be just as good as the ELD-M, and I load the crap out of the ELD-Ms, and they DO perform.

Thanks, guys! Pat, that cracks me up, brother!...

Here's an example - tough to do this at night without an illum reticle, but the amountof illum it can dial is important. Not much to look at, but much to hear. There a longer vid like this somewhere here, with us ripping up the 450 target just like this. This was the 200 yard steel, before we broke it.

That sounds good - I'd do that no problem. I'll send you a PM.

Thank you, my brother... You were the central part of the awesomeness this weekend, and we got ALOT of guys out for a Spring Shoot this time. It was one hell of a great weekend, in parts, and a whole. I'm glad we picked the weekend between our birthdays for this one - so Happy Belated Birthday to you, too!... The .50 was fuckin' SICK...

The baddest 22LR ARs being made right now are from Tippmann. Yeah, no joke, the paintball gun guys. I shiit you not.
