Why is that not surprising?... FUk him, in the neck.

Mossberg MVP in 5.56 chamber,18" fluted barrel, non-threaded. Runs AR mags. Put a fixed 3x Nikon BDC scope on it. Love that light little bastard. I can't find the thread I did on it, but SureFire 60s fit in it... I found 2 pics - I'll keep looking for the whole thread...

Keep in mind - my "carbine" gas system on that gun above is AR-10 Carbine gas - which is AR15 midlength gas. I have less dwell time, so my gas port is slight larger than something with more dwell time. You should be pretty close to that 81-thou, though, slightly under...

Toolcraft, and several others. Toolcraft is the manufacturer for so many aftermarket companies and OEM suppliers, it's not even funny. Search for them, from many vendors, because the deals are out there. 3 of my Grendel BCGs are Toolcraft nitrided, and I got them for $74 each from Huckleberry Arms. Great company to deal with.

Incredible coverage of a deployment into Afghani-Land. Worth watching every one. Fuk that place.

Here is current recoil system discussion: Here is gas system discussion: You solve that, and you'll only have 99 problems - but your Big AR function won't be one of them. Recoil System first, because it's SO FUCKED, on this platform. Gas system problems second. In that, gas tube length is primary these days, and gas port diameter is secondary. Gas systems on this Big AR platform are fucked, too. Here's more recoil system information, that's recent: When comparing recoil systems, for Carbine Receiver Extensions ("collapsible stocks"), there are two buffers that can be used, but the systems cannot be interchanged. You go ONE WAY, or you go THE OTHER WAY. Here's the data on the short carbine buffers: You solve those problems - that manufacturers cannot possibly grasp - and your gun will run.

^^^ Done 3 of those now, and they time up just right with that system. No torque wrench needed, just follow the instructions - which comes back to not even knowing what torque you're setting it to. I trust Bill Geissele, though, completely, and what he says will be right, certainly will be right.

Barrel nut shims, strictly for timing a barrel nut and handguard = put the barrel in the upper, put the proper amount/size of shims on there, then put on the barrel nut and torque it. With the broad torque range of 30~80lb/ft or torque, they're often not even needed - unless you need to hit some lower torque spec from a specific handguard manufacturer. All this "barrel nut timing for proper torque" bullshiit came about, because so damn many people put these things together, and don't own a decent torque wrench, or the proper tools. There's so many "AR builders" that couldn't even identify a torque wrench for what it is, if you showed them a decent one... My $0.02 on it.

This. It's a surface treatment that gets into the metal. Not a coating. It doesn't affect any tolerances. I'll take Nitride (and any other name for it) over anything else, and phosphated BCGs suck now, because of the developments in this area. Are they worth it? Hell yeah, they are.

My gas port diameter on this .308 Win 13.5" carbine gas barrel is 0.081". 81-thou. You need to be pretty close to that. During: Final:

^^^ Yep. Need the internal depth. It's needs to be 7.000" internal depth, and that's not a "ballpark figure" or a "minimum starting number" like one guy here awhile back thought. Second - yes. Get to the gas port diameter. If you wide open that adjustable gas block, and it STILL won't function - with a proper recoil system - you have a gas port diameter problem, and you'll be drilling it up. You listed an accurate description of how to tune an adjustable gas block, but that's not how you test one. First round downrange is with a wide-open gas block - to see if it even functions. If it doesn't function, because of a bad gas port diameter, you'll never tune it. Ever. Wide-open is always first. Then, you commence to tuning it for your load. We can pretty accurately tell you, right away, if it's too small, just by you reporting the number.

Ah shiit, it's here... https://store.srcarms.com/product-p/sharpsxpb308.htm I don't know it this is a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal or not, but $199 for a .308 BCG that packed full of technology is a damn good deal. I've been waiting for this kinda function/feature to get to the .308 BCGs for awhile. It's been in the 5.56 stuff for about 2 or 3 years now, but nobody brought it to the bigger BCGs until now.

Welcome aboard, man. Watch what's going on in that state - it keep getting nuttier by the day, and the Lib-Tarts keep taking more ground. You just suffered a huge 2A loss up there...

Drive on, hard as hell... Ignore it, and go smash shiit here...

That was mild, bro, but solid contact. It gets way crazier than that.

Use Loc-TIte 609 for that.

Just found the first one, Part 1:

Fuk. RIP 2/75 stud. Ruck hard in heaven.

As soon as she called it the Bear Burrito, I was doubled over, laughing. And I chambered one in the Kimber and tucked it under my pillow...

This property is so badass, brother... There's so much room, trails everywhere, it's not even funny. This is my dream, right there. I want that chunk of land, just like that, in Skull Valley, AZ. DNPs place is a dream come true, man.

These things are great, brother - I can't believe more word isn't out on them. I love the one i have,and I'm sure the new one will be just the same. They rock.

I snatched this one for $31.50...
