Can we not pay through the store, with a CC? I'm trying to buy that 9th slot right now... EDIT - Eff it, I sent it PP...

A decent magnet is gonns get stuck to those weights inside of an aluminum buffer body, through the aluminum. Don't count on your buffer body being steel, until you take it apart and try to stick a magnet to it, stripped of all it's internals. The easiest way to gain weight in a buffer is a stainless steelbody, over the aluminum. That alone took my Aero buffer from 3.7oz to 5.15oz. I loaded the aero buffer guts into the DSG stainless buffer body. The aero already comes with two tungsten weights in it. The combination of the tungsten and stainless body is what made it 5.15oz. The 5.7 buffer I did was a Slash Heavy Buffer RRA LAR-8 Carbine buffer. The RRA carbine buffer is 2.25" long, with a modified bumper on the end. I change it to a regular bumper, and it only came up 0.069" shorter than 2.500" long. I made up the needed length difference with a quarter down the extension. The big difference in the Slash buffer is that the body (stainless) doesn't step down, like regular buffers do - it's thicker; more stainless means more weight.

Looks alot like a GunTec USA rail I've got on the 12.5" Grendel. The Air Lite, from them. https://www.guntecusa.com/ar-308/M-LOK-Handguards-308/15-length-1141588888/15-mod-lite-skeletonized-series-m-lok-free-floating-handguard-with-monolithic-top-rail-308-cal.html Here's all their 15" stuff: https://www.guntecusa.com/ar-308/M-LOK-Handguards-308/15-length-1141588888

For your buffer, do one of the things I stated in the thread I linked in this thread. Have you weighed your buffer that you have? Do you know it's 3.8oz? I can tell you what makes a 3.8oz buffer that's 2.5" long, and I did in the thread I linked earlier. You can make a maximum of a 5.15oz buffer that's 2.5" long. You can make it yourself. If you want to make that minimum buffer operating weight that a .308 Win AR needs (5.4oz), then you need to look at aftermarket manufacturers. HeavyBuffers.com is the only one. kakindustry.com coms even closer to the 5.4oz minimum, with a 5.3oz, 2.5oz buffer. Your choices are very limited, and it loks like you committed to the Sprinco Orange spring, so you need to either make, or buy a buffer that's pretty close to 5.4oz. And 2.5" long. In that thread, I made a 5.7oz buffer with a combination of parts, and it came up 0.069" short of 2.500". One quarter down the receiver extension solved that problem...

You can try to shoot it with that 0.080"-ish gas port, but it's not gonna run, man.

^^^ ...And those are midlength gas barrels... Hit this info, check out survivalshop's info - his Fulton Criterion 16" rifle gas barrel is in here:

^^^ The DPMS LR-308 Carbine buffer isn't almost 3" long, no way. It wouldn't run in that 7" internal depth receiver extension - the BCG wouldn't come back far enough to lock back, at all. It's 2.500" long, within a few weird thou... 2.938" on it is unpossible.

The Nikon Black is pretty damn good - I've got the original Black X1000 6~24, in SFP. You range it in 18x mag. It lives on the 300 Win Mag bolt gun. It's a good scope, even though Matt hates it...

I love 3:37 in this song....

Holy shiit... That's CHEAP!

Excellent remake... Superb.

This is gonna cost me, as I need a few things. They're local now, too, which might turn into being a bad thing...

Don't run an AR15 spring in a 308, brother. It's not strong enough to handle that weight and force. You'll have some recoil at your shoulder that isn't good for your shoulder, and not good for the rifle.

16" rifle gas .308 barrel will have to have a gas port diameter of 0.100"~0.105", or it's not gonna run. Check your gas port diameter on that barrel. Criterion understands this, as they were one of the first ones to make this config, for Fulton Armory. Check it anyway.

.458 Win Mag is out. Not gonna happen, with a Long Action cartridge in a Short Action upper and lower receiver.

I just recently picked up one of these for the .260 Rem, and I'm very impressed with it. Very. Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50, FFP, MIL, Illuminated. https://athlonoptics.com/product/rifle-scope-argos-6-24x50/

Don't skip this thread, David... It's worth reading through, in your circumstance...

Coil count is important, as well as wire diameter - together, that's what determines your spring tension, over a given length. If you have a spring that's 12" long, and it has 5 coils, it's gonna be a bitch to compress. If you have a spring that's the same length, and 30 coils - it'll be easier to compress, but not as stiff as that first example. Coil count matters. If you have a wire diameter in that 12" spring that's 0.010", that's tiny, like ink pen springs. You have a wire diameter of 0.072", and that's a proper recoil spring size. Smaller makes it weaker, larger makes it stronger. This stuff really does matter - and there are SO MANY companies that don't even have a clue. That's why I switched everything out to the Armalite parts. One source, one manufacturer, and it's from a company that really understood what they were doing when it was all developed in the first place.

Refresh the page, man...

These two right here: https://www.hornady.com/bullets/rifle/30-cal-308-150-gr-gmx#!/ https://www.hornady.com/bullets/rifle/30-cal-308-150-gr-sst#!/ And the Barnes 150 TSX. It's a little more, and figuring out loads for TSX rounds takes a little more time, since they're all copper, and a little longer than comparable-weighted projectiles. Those Hornady SSTs will get it done.

That's a damn good lookin' rifle, right there.

Here's the reason I say this, specifically. The Wollf XP spring and the Sprinco Orange spring are manufactured to a specific standard, for a purpose, by companies that make springs. They both know what they're doing, and they did it on purpose, for a purpose. All other companies are guessing. Sometimes they get it right, most times they fuk it up tragically. But, hey, even a blind monkey finds a banana once in awhile, right? It is not worth your time and money to keep experimenting with springs, hoping that they got it right - and maybe getting lucky. Your 9" spring is a perfect example. That's not enough spring for any AR platform, no matter what caliber - but it might work in a .22LR conversion, where the "BCG" never moves.
