That should not have happened - it's a 2-stage trigger. You have to pull through the first stage weight, and it hits a stop - there is trigger bow movement through that first stage. From that stop point, it's go time. You apply the additional weight to it from that stop point, and it breaks the shot from right there. So, on that trigger, it takes 2.3lbs of pull weight to move that trigger bow to the stop - and you should hit a wall. It takes another 1.2lbs of additional pull weight to break the shot.

That specific Geissele is an exclusive trigger to Brownell's, only. There are two models of G2S (Geissele 2 Stage), when you count the Brownell's version. They follow the Geissele SSA (The Geissele G2S does), and that Brownell's exclusive follows the Geissele SSA-E. The Geissele G2S IS the Geissele SSA trigger - it is. The SSA gets MPI tested, every one, every part, then lasered. They only batch test the G2S, and don't laser it. That's what makes it cheaper to make, and cheaper to sell. That Brownell's version IS the Geissele SSA-E - same deal on it. It's batch tested, and not lasered like the G SSA-E is. It's a 3.5lb combined pull. The SSA-E is an excellent trigger, and it's not a crazy-light pull. It's a fantastic trigger for an AR. If that's too light for you, you need to move north in combined pull weight. The LaRue is a 4.5lb combined pull. You might like it. For $87, it's worth the risk.

Damnit...

Dead on the money on that gas tube.

Little bastard right there would go great with gravy.

It's so calming and peaceful up there...

I'm going down to the store to pick up the stuff for this right now... Seriously... EDIT - Oh Dear Lord... I can't wait for this to cool a little... This is dinner, all by itself...

As long as it's not your weiners that you wanna hold against me, then I can weather the storm...

Damn, brother - you sent me that PM, and I never got back to you. i opened it and read it at work, at lunch - then spaced it out... You are talking about 6.5-284 Norma, right? Or, 6.5-284 Winchester? They are almost twins, but neck diameter is the biggest difference. You'll need to know what chamber the barrel maker is cutting (probably Norma), and you'll need to turn the necks down on Winchester donor brass...

Right on.

That gun is awesome! Great job on the load for it, too - wow!

FUK!!! I HAD SUCH A BONER LOOKING AT THAT THING!!! Seeing that 4.0L sitting on the floor, trans attached... gave me wood. Seeing that V8 sitting in there just about crushed me. That's gonna be a bad motherfucker...

Just bring it...

FWIW - I've never SEEN those barrels that cheap. I'm not saying that to push you into it - I'm saying that because I paid a HELL of alot more for my barrel, several years ago. Kill that sale they have right now, man - you won't see that for a long time. That's crazy...

Super easy question - and this is in stock. I lusted after a .338 Fed for quite awhile, and was going to go through custom barrel manufacturers to get one made. The manna fell from heaven one day, right before I was ready to pull the trigger on that custom barrel order, and Wilson Combat sent me a magical, clairvoyant email, and announced that they were making barrels in .338 Fed. That sealed the deal, right then, right now. I did it. I went with the 16" barrel. For that caliber, and that barrel length, it'll kill anything I need it to kill, within that ballistic range of the cartridge. Browse to your liking - but make damn sure you buy one with the 1:10" twist. Those 1:12" twists aregreat for light-ass projectiles - but you don't get into a .338 Federal for light-ass projectiles.

Yep, 4.0L HO engine, Banks setup - yanked it. LS3 going in. @DNP

^^^ I completely forgot that he was a Faxon Dealer... *** I also completely forgot about another Faxon barrel - I've got a 12.5" Faxon barrel on a short Grendel - and THAT BEAST DELIVERS!!! I have so much shiit, I forget about some, sometimes. Don't hold that against me...

AR Gold in my first 308AR, and it's good. Elftmann in another one, and it's good. Neither are 2-stage triggers. I prefer 2-stage triggers on precision guns. I'll take a Geissele Hi-Speed trigger in a precision gun any day of the week - it can't be beat, at damn near $300. But for Mark LaRue's price of $87 on the MBT2S, you can't beat that either. Last time I did a Geissele Hi-Speed was this time last year, for a special build. I've done 4 of the LaRue triggers in the meantime, since that build. What Geissele trigger did you buy? If it was one of the Hi-Speed triggers, and you feel it's too light - you can adjust that thing heavier. Easy. If it was the SSA-E, it's a 3.5lb combined pull. The LaRue is a 4.5lb combined pull - just like the Geissele SSA trigger. Between those last two, you're talking $87 or $200. Easy choice - the quality is there on both. I've got a Jard 2lb trigger that would scare the hell out of you...

DNP's dad has an '06 LJ that had a Banks Turbo system on. He just pulled the entire engine and trans so he could stuff a small block in it. I think it was an LS3. Sexy AF, too. Damn...

I have an idea - for longevity. You build that 3rd one as a .338 Federal. When you shoot that barrel out, you just send it off and THEN get it re-bored for the .358 Winchester... Once you shoot that .308 Winchester out, you get THAT one re-bored for .338 Federal. Win/win here. You then pick up some new .308 Win barrel - you've shot a TON, had a damn great time doing it - added another caliber to the stable. For a .308 Win barrel... You'll have YEARS to pick up all the parts for that 4th one, that way.

SHIIT!!!! OOS now. I KNEW I should have grabbed one! Lesson 65b bit me in the ass... Get one of these while you still can, brother - you got 3 days... https://www.dvor.com/american-built-arms-company-urban-recoil-pad.html

HAHA!!! HELL YEAH, MAN!!! Yes, I do use a shot timer, for the last 7or 8 years now. PACT Club Timer II. If I'm shooting by myself, I just clip it into my pocket, or the belt if I'll be moving alot/running. If there's a group of us shooting, it's just easier if there's a "timer," that way you can run multiple people through the course, one after the other, staynear them - and I always angle the pickup towards them, to make sure i get their shots recorded. As the person shooting, you just listen to/wait for your commands, and go when you hear the buzzer. When there are multiple people shooting at the same time, the shot timer will pick up the other shots nearby. If you ran two people through a 10-shot course of fire, 10 yards apart, the shot timer would probably pick up all 20 shots. It's less sensitive with pistol rounds, but it certainly does pick up nearby rifle fire, everytime. They're sensitive enough that there would be no reason to have to clip it to the gun - they're fine from the belt, or held nearby the person shooting.

Which "kid"? - YOU, the Big Kid? Or did you sucker one of the smaller ones into "liking brussel sprouts?"...

Fire those questions off - we're here for it. Someone knows something about what you want to ask, for sure here, and you'll definitely get the answers you need.

CO B, I have several of both, Faxon and Ballistic Advantage. Both are very good barrels, and neither pick will leave you wishing that you'd done the other. The Faxons are the 16" 5.56 Pencil Barrel, 16" midlength .308 Win barrel, and the 18" midlength gas Grendel barrel. All those barrels are fantastic. The Ballistic Advantage barrels are the 18" SPR profile 5.56 barrel (Mk12 Mod 1 gun), and the 18" SPR profile Grendel barrel (Mk12-ish Army Green Grendel) - those things just shoot the lights out. Either one will leave the owner with a bigass smile on his face.
