Damn, man - that's a pretty serious set of skills you have there.

^^^ THE Ammo Pimp.

Think I sealed the deal on that third rifle, brother...

@DNP

^^^ Yep! Fuk those things. EDIT - Fuk Taylor Swift, too. "Entertainers" think they're important. They should stop thinking they're important, and stick to what they're paid to do - entertain.

Neck UP a standard .308 Win case to .338 diameter, and shoot 225gr SMASHERS... Here's what it is, man:

You say that now... Dirk didn't tell you this part, did he... And he's the one that started this shiit, here!...

Midwest PX is SOLID, brother! They rock! Those other guys, though - they can go choke on a bag of dicks, and for desert, they can eat a bowl of smashed assholes. That's bullshiit. Project is ON AGAIN!!!

Spread the sickness, brother.

From the leg pivot bolt, they are 6 7/8" minimum to 10 3/8" maximum - leg pivot bolt to bottom of feet. Leg pivot bolt sits 1" below the bottom of the rail, on the M-LOK version. I'll take it out on New Year's Day, so I'll pound the hell out of it and see how it goes. I'll abuse it for certain.

Starting a tech thread about your specific issues will help tremendously. "Lower paper weight" means you did an 80% lower? Don't know. Fire up a tech thread in the (right section, or close to right...) section, and give all the details you can.

I don't think this one is funny, but it's pretty damn terrifying! Didn't wanna bury this in a pic of the day thread or something. This dude will kick anybody's ass before they even know what happened. Samurai slices a100mph fastball in half... and he's 30 feet away... Here's some more on that story... https://kotaku.com/samurai-slices-a-100-mph-baseball-in-half-1736420399 This guy is WAY BEYOND any kind of "cat-like reflexes" I've ever seen...

Well, then, it's gotta be .338 Federal. 16" barrel will do just fine in that fat short-action caliber.

@BeaverMeat, you showed up to this place the day our Fall Shoot started - and I've never even seen this topic before now. Looks like you didn't get any info to help - but we had a large contingent of people away at the time. So, which one of these Stag models do you have? https://www.stagarms.com/AR10-rifles/ From what it looks like - you don't need a front sight for a railed gasblock - those things aren't offered on any of the Stag models that I was able to find. If you'd post a picture of the rifle that you have, it'll make everything easier. If you got a full rifle - one of the ones that are on the Stag website listed above - then it's got a handguard that either has a forward rail section at the front, or it's got a full pic top rail. In a nutshell - you can use any folding front and rear sights that you want, and they'll work. I'd get the front and rear from the same manufacturer, though.

I remember you saying that, and it shocked me - they cut that damn channel TOO narrow. That's completely ridiculous, how many things that set had out-of-whack on it. Straight bullshiit...

Damn! Good job on that!

What spec, brother? They're so full of it, it's not even funny. I'd like to see them build up something with it.

Between the fire-starting and the blowout kits - you're creating a bunch of Baby Rangers, brother!

I'm pretty certain they only make one flavor of their LAR-8 BCG, and only one. You could send yours out to WMD Guns and see if they could coat it. https://www.wmdguns.com/firearm-coatings/production-coating-services.html

The exact same calibers that require a long action through a bolt action rifle. That directly where the long action / short action classification comes from, for ammunition.

Did you post that here, brother, or was that on Full30?

So smooth, fluid, and ungodly fast - with anything he shoots. We set up timed courses of fire at the shoots. Example, we got rolling last year on a pistol course from about 15 yards - the depth of a couple targets was a little different, and the sizes of the targets were all over. Start at Dueling tree with 6 targets (singles each), staggered, move to 1 IPSC target (doubles), move to 5 hanging plates (doubles), couple different sizes. 18 rounds if you hit everything first-round. You could only move on once you got your hits. We were getting good at it, getting times around 21 or 22 seconds. JB Matt comes out first run and shoots the course in 17 seconds... Your jaw just drops when you see him do it, then you start cussing... Your brain is trying to process "WTF just happened?!" while you're cognizantly thinking "How the HELL am I gonna beat THAT?!" It's times like that, when watching him shoot is both amazing, AND aggravating...

That was one hell of a surprise, and one epic, quick trip, brother. I'm glad you came over - damn great seeing you again. There was no way in hell I was letting you pay for dinner - you spent enough today already... I can't wait to see the pics in the morning...

That's the most common chambering for it, yes. You can find or make these things in just about any caliber that will fit a short-action bolt gun.

DPMS High Rider upper on an Aero Precision lower. Factory upper with MOE handguards. That's as far from AR-10 as you can get, right there. Don't worry about .308 Win vs. 7.62x51 NATO through that barrel. Just find what it likes, and stick with it.
