That's a good lookin' BCG, right there!

I'm down. Take me for the ride, brother - I'll eat it. Been there before, and it's gonna SUCK, AGAIN, but I'll eat it anyway. Wtf... Let's do it. I know, an hour later, when I realize that I actually DO have a tongue, I'll be thinking, "WTF were you THINKING?!..." I'm still down.. When I come to, just feed me whatever GREG is drinking...

Alright, alright. "PLinker load" you say. I'll shoot it then. Get that dude out in left field ready to grab my brass when I shoot it.... I'll do it...

That's not gonna fit with "Ray's Rules," brother. It just won't work. It's Ray's Way, or No Way. I'm not fucking playing it. We're gonna find out right now if a Big Dose of Little Tommy can beat down one of Ray's tantrums, when he doesn't get his bullyass "I was just joking" way... I'll smash it. Guaranteed. Won't fucking tolerate it, not any more...

Based on my past experience with warnings... You deserved that. Completely.

THAT IS FUCKED UP!!! Why you gonna do that to us?! I'm not shooting that thing. It used to throw brass about 30 yards behind it. Now, it's gonna throw brass further than a college kid can kick a field goal! WTF man...

fucking Shape Shifter... I'm telling you right now... Shape Shifter...

See?@@? YOU are here right now - and the "other Matt" is not... You WERE NOT HERE... and the "other Matt" WAS HERE!!! WTF, MAN>@!@> Are YOU TWO MATTS THE SAME?!!? ARE YOU A SPY?!!? WTF?!?

One day, though, ONE of them will do "something more than talking shiit" and really move there. No shiit. Move to Canada, JUST like they threatened to do. As soon as one of them moves, it'll be a fucking TIDAL WAVE of pissed off Liberal American jackasses moving there... You'll be inundated with dumbshiit, everywhere, and you think your gun laws are fucked NOW? That influx of American Liberal Assheads will wreck your gunlaws like Kevin DeLeon on a Cali-taxpayer-funded gun-control spending spree... Not so funny now, is it?... It's reality, brother, I mean it. If ONE of these jackasses does it (that's not already Canadian), then they'll ALL do it! En Masse!!!... Canadian Infestation, it will be. By Liberals. I have property down here for you, bro - not joking. CanAm Realty Group can hook you up, and you'll be my next-door neighbor. I live in Canadian Snowbird Central, here.

Exactly. Fucking Shape-Shifter...

Buffer pad thickness, I got 0.093" and 0.094", even pressure on both. I'm certain that these are not "precision determined" items, but "general thickness items". I measured both several times, and came up with the 93 and 94 on each, repeatedly. One is 93-thou, the other is 94-thou. I listed the lengths of the weights int he other thread. They're 0.607" long. So, internal depth of the body is 1.965". Buffer weights that at 0.607" each (1.214" per 2) and buffer pads or 0.093" and 0.094" (0.187" combined). We have to account for the depth of the tail on the buffer bumper. This pic doesn't really do it justice, but I pulled a 0.496" tail depth. Mash all that together, and you can determine how much "bounce" is going on in there. Take that depth of the tail OFF the internal depth of the buffer body, because it goes down into it... So, 1.965" - 0.496" is the available depth inside the buffer body. = 1.469" available space inside the buffer body, capped and pinned. The pads take up 0.187" and the weights take up 1.214". You have 68-thou running around in there to bounce around. About the thickness of a quarter, as space, inside this type of buffer... I don't know if it's more on a 3.250" carbine buffer, I don't know if it's more on a 5.200" 308AR Rifle buffer, and I don't know if it's more on a 5.900" AR15 Rifle buffer. You have 68-thou running around inside a 2.500" DPMS-based LR-308 Carbine buffer, though. That's how much "deadblow" you have.

Buffer body depth 1.965". Gotta capture that now... post will be edited Buffer body, stripped, OAL is 2.127". Call it 2.125". That's enough to calculate buffer face thickness, after milling. Buffer depth (center) at 1.965, with an OAL of 2.125" leaves you with a buffer face thickness of 0.160" - on a STAINLESS buffer body. I'm sure it's identical on an aluminum buffer body, because NO OTHER dimensions change. That's your buffer face thickness. 160-thou.

DSG Hybrid buffer - let's break this thing down.

These things are JUST like a deadblow hammer. JUST like it. That's how they work. As designed, anyway. Solid buffers - don't work. Solid buffers WILL bounce on forceful closing. That reciprocating mass in a standard buffer design - all slams into each other by design. Tungsten-powder buffers (Spike's Tactical, predominantly) work in the same manner. Solid buffers don't do this. They bounce - when not induced by "bolt bounce" - which is real. Just like Dolphin Rape. It's real... FOr Real... Lane, you can't drill that thing all the way through, man - that buffer face has to be solid. I see that buffer face that you've got drilled all the way through - that won't work. You drill in from the backend, to the depth you need, but that face needs to "be-one-with-the-body..." Buffer body is one piece. One piece... I don't have numbers on buffer pad thickness, or buffer internal depth, but I'm gonna bust one apart right now and find out those numbers. I'll be back in a ew, with pics.

If he does, we'll be here in a few months trying to diagnose the "failures" he has... after 5 pages of Q&A and damn-near waterboarding, we'll get the details from him, he spills his guts, and we find it all out. 5 minutes after that, we've got it all solved...

It better be. If your gas rings are sealing like they should. Benchrest guys will tell you different. Extend the bolt. Stand the BCG up on it's face, on the bolt face, on the table. Did the BCG collapse, or stay there, bolt extended? You want it to stay there, extended, standing on it's face. It's new, right? It'll break in, too, and push in and out of the carrier, too - after a few hundred rounds. It still better stand up on it's face after a couple hundred, too...

That's exactly what a .260 Remington is, man...

Oh, it's not an outbreak, brother. I'd call it "epidemic" in proportions. We're almost overcome, but we can fight back. They're starting to "demand" information now...

That's what usually happens when you think you're "entitled" to information that someone else has... They OWE you the info, and they OWE it to you RIGHT NOW... If I'm the dude with the information - and you DEMAND it... I will be the one to decide when I give it to you - if I give it to you at all. I don't know you, and you don't tell me what to do - I owe you nothing... Fucking LEARN that, kinda quick. I don't answer to you, and I don't owe you... anything...

Fucking whiner. Why are you still doing this, Ray? WTF?

Shoulda went .260 Remington, man. I'm making my own brass from Hornady .308 Match Brass.

Alrighty, Done then. Enjoy. Once you refuse to learn, and think you know everything - you refuse to grow. try to learn something new everyday - I try - and I try to grow every single day, too. Don't ever give up the chance to try to make yourself better. Never quit.

I'm betting this is the issue - test it out, and tell me if that's it. I went through this with 6.5 Grendel. By the way, from your pics, that is very, very minor. VERY minor.

What I want is for you to READ what I wrote, and take it to heart.

Ray, what you don't understand here, in the very least- I BUILT THIS, with my friends. My desire to hang out with like-minded people has never changed. Maybe the perfect piece of land is in Kentucky, somewhere - we haven't found that yet. What we have found, with my friends, is that we have some serious fucking resources here in AZ - and we've used them previously. This isn't about ME, fucker. This is about MY FRIENDS. I'm lucky enough to have access to enough land that me and MY FRIENDS can do what the fuk ever we want out here? Are you kidding me? It's a God Send. The fact that I can get MY FRIENDS to come out here and hang out with me, for a semi-extended period of time? Fuk, I learned that duning, when I met Dirk and Dusty in 2004... You make the time to hang out with your friends, when it's important, and when it's not so important. If it matter to you, you make the time, and you GATHER. You come waltzing in here, from days past - and you think personal details about someone means "joke." That's not always the case, and I hope you learn that. I don't think you have yet, and I don't know if you ever will - but I hope you do learn that. You don't slam someone out of whatever-the-fuk it is that drives you, then say, "just kidding, joke..." That's not a joke. You don't insult the shiit out of people, and say "Haha! Just joking..." You don't bully your way into something that's been built up, and think you can bring it all to your - YOUR - level, just because you got invited in one time. This has been years in the making. You don't get into something ONE TIME, and think you fucking OWN it. You don't. I built this tradition with my friends, from the ground up Greg and I have turned this from a 2-person chance-contact, into a damn tradition... You don't get to come in here and tell me - or any of us - how it's going to go. You don't get to use personal information to insult people, then run away laughing, saying "Just joking..." You well know I'd had it about 10 years ago. You don't come into this camp, acting like an a$shole, being an A$shole, or doing anything other than "wanting to be with friends." That's all we're here for, and I'm not going to have some a$shole trying to break that down. I hope you take that to heart. I've known you since 2006, and you haven't listened to me yet, though.
