Hold on - it's on Cabela's for $29.99... They're cheaper on this?... https://www.cabelas.com/product/MTM-CAN-AMMO-CRATE/2574825.uts

Sounds like he has familiarity - he better watch those teeth! Black N Decker Pecker Wrecker, right there!... Good luck tonight, Raven!...

You weren't fuqing with me - you replied to another guy to just Man UP with the gerbils. Like you had experience, or something, and just BRING IT OUT. Tell me about your Gerbils - cardboard tube, or did you just rough it, and stuff 'em in there?... Did they crawl, or claw? Most interested in you insertion method, as you've done the MAN UP thing on them before... You know, just curious what you went through. Spill it, let it out...

DaMN! There was a guy here recently looking for an .875 brake! I'll try to find his post and direct him to this thread.

Refuse to grow up. I'm handicapped by my own Natural Immaturity, but that can't be held against me.

Hey, hold on - delayed reaction on my part, in cognitive/recognition... You saying you Man Up on gerbils all the time?...

WTF?!!? That thing is almost a Wolverine! Or worse yet, it's a small beaver! I would hunt that, or CaveMan it.

Many of those parts will work... I'm just sayin'. The spares are what turn into another rifle. PSA uses DPMS-based parts for the lower - any DPMS-based lower kit will have you running - you need the longer pivot and takedown pins, and the bolt catch. Those are the parts that are .308AR specific, over AR15 parts. Safety, trigger, springs and detents - all the same.

Ah shiit, now you're dragging @Lonewolf McQuade and @JF89 back into it...

POW!!! I almost KNEW this was gonna happen!... I love how you blamed it on her...

Damn, I like that, too! You know my pain, Doc. I can fit these bitches out by caliber. 5.56 heavy match in a can, 5.56 55gr range ammo, 25/45 ammo, Grendel ammo. One tray, done. .308 178gr match in a can, 150gr range ammo one can, 30-06 in a can, 300BLK in a can. tray 2, 30-cal finished. Repeat as necessary. It beats the 20-can shuffle to the truck or trailer...

Wait for that Creedmoor-specific scope to drop, because it's a BDC scope. No dialing, no remembering holdovers. Select the range, BAM. Done.

No need for a pic - it's too short. We see it too often, these days, and it's based from laziness of manufacturers. Buy this gas tube to remedy that situation: https://www.armalite.com/product/ar-10-carbine-length-gas-tube-10007005/ Buy it quick. They go out of stock quick.

I'm firing this up again, right now. Damn, this is good...

^^^ I've been eyeballing those things. Makes MUCH sense to me. They working for you so far? You say they're good, and I'll get a couple.

I just got an email from Armalite a couple days ago that the AR-10 Carbine gas tubes were back in stock, too. DSG Arms just ran out of them... What barrel/upper config did you order, Robb?... 18" midlength gas?

Welcome. We're here to help. Just build the lower right, and it'll cut down on your issues. Once you get the upper, just go ahead and take it apart and measure the gas port. Visually check the gas tube protrusion into the upper receiver, and get a pic of it, before it all gets ripped down.

It will have the Allen Engineering hardware, too. I'll need to call them.

I might as well get this shiit started already. All the lower parts just got ordered, minus a trigger. DSG Arms hooked me up. Here's the lower - perfect lower for this one. Bought it last summer when they dropped it, and it's been sitting in storage, waiting to grow up into something. This might progress faster than I want it to. This is what a Mk12 Mod H is, if anybody was wondering - it's a Mk12 running a 16" barrel and a different top rail (not full length):

There's not much velocity loss in the .260 and 6.5C, per inch of barrel, so it won't impact it much. If anything, you might be a little off at 800~1,000, but it's a .260, with a little teeny bit more velocity than the 6.5C in the first place. I'll find out next week what barrel length and load they used to write the user's manual. I'll bet I can get a copy of the manual, if they've already got it written. I know once the scope is released, I have to test it on my .260, and get the zero information back to them. I might try to get one early, get the info to them, and get it included in the manual. I'll pitch that next week, bet it flies.

Sprinco. Damn, did we spend over an hour at Sprinco. The guy at the booth was KILLIN' US!!! Once he (quickly) figured out the amount of smartass contained in each of us, he cut loose - it was back and forth bullshiit for over an hour. My sides hurt from laughing so much. Insult after insult, flying everywhere. It was a riot. So, anyway - Sprinco is building and selling "adjustable buffer kits." Buffer bodies that you easily take apart, with a combination of weights (tungsten and steel) and all the buffer guts. You figure out what weight buffer your rifle needs, and it's all in the plastic box. I saw 4 kits/sizes out there: 2.500" buffer bodies, 3.250", 4.000" (VLTOR A5 buffers), and 5.900" (AR15 rifle). I'm sure they're doing the 5.200" (308AR rifle), but I just didn't see it sitting out there. Pretty cool news.

This is gonna get expensive, brother. That 6.5/284 is just under the 30-06 in OAL, so you'll have to use receiver sets that could chamber a 30-06. There's no way that anything in the .308AR platform will get it done - the receivers just aren't long enough. One option would be the Noreen BN36, but you'd probably have to buy the whole rifle, then convert it. There's tons of info out there on those things going back to the factory, too. I don't think they've got it completely figured out yet. I know a company that COULD figure it all out, though. CROM. They have so much on their plate right now, though... @Robocop1051, that would be the FOURTH receiver set to nug out. + recoil system... You up for it, brother? (psssst.... I have the recoil system figured out already... )

MIlitarily, it became a big deal when I was at Fort Ord, and I left Planet Ord in 1991. The primary small arms ranges were on the beach. "Green bullets" was a major push then. Save the Monterey Bay Whales, and all that shiit...

ZERO DARK FIFTY will eat up a BUNCH of space, quick!...

See the funky silver buttons on this one? Well, those serve a pretty damn cool function. Those dials are zero stop - and they STOP on the zero stop that you set them to - just like other zero-stop dials on other scopes. However, there are really times that you need to dial down below a zero-stop on your scope. You push that button, and you can go 5 (five) clicks BELOW your zero stop... Pretty damn smart, right there...
