Suit yourself. Come on out - just try not to be a dick, while you're here. Otherwise, I'm with you, on your decision. I"m sure you'll see my reply in the other thread...

He's done his homework!!! Boot, you have our full faith and confidence, brother - you do with this one what you want. We'll be here waiting, and watching, man. Just get after it already...

That's what brought it all up in the beginning. I'm sure you've seen my PM-reply, as has Ray. Lemme know if you both didn't get it, since I was dragged into it, and I damn sure did reply.

This, right here. And it won't be 6.8. They might pick up something in 6.5, but it'll have to match Creedmoor, since that's the latest adoption of the newest sniper configuration. 338 Norma Mag would get changed to 338 Lapua Mag, if it was adopted.

I've spent 8 years building this shoot into what it is. I think it "started" in 2011, when I saw a post from Greg, that said he'd be in AZ during the summer. I says, "Where you gonna be, brother, where at in AZ?" He says, "Small place in the middle of nowhere - you wouldn't know where it is..." Haha! It was 30 miles from where I was!!! That was the first "shoot" on this board. The next year, pretty sure it was 2012, he was coming back to AZ again, so we planned it out. We got Rob down here, Mikedaddy, Planeflyer (Jon), and we had a riot. I brought several people withe me that I knew from the SV community - it was a "real" 308AR.com shoot, and it was badass... By 2013, I'd relocated to the Phx area, and we were doing group shoots in Marana and the Casa Grande area - we got Larry involved, got him over from NM, and we saw his son Josh OFF to Marine Corps Boot Camp, and we had another shoot once he'd done his time and was out... 4 years later... With what I've done to get shoots together, and make them better year after year - it's gotten pretty big, on the order of an annual event. (It's really twice a year, if the slackers would show up to the Spring Shoot...) This has became a tradition, but it's more of a "tradition of mentalities..." It's way bigger than one person, and it's not about one person - it's about the collective, the group. It's about the gathering of the mentalities. And a damn good time. Once one person tried to drive a wedge in that - when one person thinks that they're gonna change all that... that one person cannot change it. That one person can't stop it, it make it something other than it was derived from, or molded from. Not gonna happen. When one person disrupts it to a point that it's no longer fun - that one person will be driven from it. I will not stand back and look at this, host people into my own house prior to, and do what i've done in order to have one person try to come in here and break it all down. That will not happen. I'll give you the shirt off my back, if you need it. I'll go get another shirt for you, too, so you can change, if you asked nicely and were sincere, and you needed it. I'll do whatever it takes to help someone out. I'll only get slapped in the face so many times, though, before I slap you back. and when I do, it's gonna be way more than a slap. I'm gonna take your head off. You don't come into something that I have built, and try to break it down. You don't come into my house, and demand I build your gun - when I've already shown you where all the gun-building tools are - but I didn't get to it when you thought I should. This has never been a problem before, but it's turning into one. Let's give the first occurance a pass, last year. It's starting to turn into that again, and that's not gonna happen. Nope, no way, no how. I will either mitigate the issue, or I will eliminate the issue, because that issue is NOT going to affect, in any way, the camaraderie and good times that thing shoot brings. This is about a gathering of friends, it always will be, and it will never change... Thus endeth the sermon.

I see how it works. You're geographically SO close to them, that you can run downtown and pick up two blowjobs, and take one to them... I have that right?...

THIS is THE question!!!

Please post pics of what you're talking about. If it's what I think it is, I have a cure for you, and it's simple. Pics please, of the brass damage.

Bolt bounce is only an issue in a semi - you'll never get bolt bounce on anything else but a semi-auto. 87GN did a bunch of videos on it, for his blog.

Too bad this cockbag only wanted an Armalite AR-10, in .308 Win, and didn't want to talk about anything more than that - and he thought that's all THIS BOARD should talk about. I like how he told US what should be discussed on this board. And ONLY discussed. Fuk that sanctimonious POS. Go hit AR-10T.com, "Matt"... if you're still reading this. Oh, by the way, if you're still reading this... Fuk Yourself. I'll send you a tube of Vagisil, on my dime, that you can rub all over yourself. If you think it can break through, and make you feel better. Fuckhead.

You need every bit of the depth, in order to get two weights and two pads in there. All of it. That shorter RRA buffer (short by 0.250") would only accept weights, and not one single pad...

Shiit...

Hit this thread, man - I go all the way through it. Notice that RRA buffer at the end of the thread... that body doesn't taper down after the spring capture point. That's where you gain the extra-extra weight.

Well, the normally-dry wash was a river again this morning. No crossing that. Next chance to shoot is 6am Wednesday morning, get it done, get back, pick up Matt at the airport, then load ammo. Damnit.

Picking up local again? Same place as last time? Lemme know what time you can pick it up on Thurs, and we'll arrange the timeline to support it.

Guy might have learned something, if he wasn't here for the one purpose of running his cockholster...

See all this cool shiit that "New Matt" missed out on, just because he's an asshead?...

We should be set, but everything happens (and is remembered) last minute, once we all get here and start talking... I can't think of anything right now, besides "get here early and help me load ammo!" NO JOKE!...

I took the whole day off, brother - I'm home all day,minus the two airport runs to pick up Matt Cross and GREG... I hope Greg shows up, but depending on his flight, GREG might show up....

They are, slowly - the location is 100% manufacturing. EVERYTHING is made there. They're getting up to speed on running the whole operation from that location. It's gonna take time, because they're busy "making" all those brands. It was impressive, and I was only in the lobby, chatting with a guy that opened the door - until Cody brought my gas tubes up. This is why people need to call them - just pick up the phone and talk to humans there. These days, people think "direct communication" is posting something on their FB or Instagram page...

Thanks for the experience lecture, Cliff. Glad you're here.

More Crockpot. Just the 4lb pork tenderloin this time - no extras. Tenderloin in there, two packs of Beefy Onion dry soup mix on top, stick of salted butter was layed across it, then two big Poblanos sliced, and 5 Pepperocini's. Almost done now... On Wednesday, for the arrivals to Casa De Pain, we'll have one of these as an appetizer, with my spinach artichoke dip on the side - while we fire up the grill for the T-Bones.

That fucker is SAH-WEET!!!

"The Box O' Truth" broke this all down years and years ago - but research was beyond this guy's capability. He had a question, and he demanded his answers, damnit! NOW!!! https://www.theboxotruth.com/

SS, you bring up very valid points. Factory rifles generally work. Generally. There are a few that get out that don't run, from the solid manufacturers. I'm only counting DPMS, Rock River,and Armalite in that group, too. Everyone else is "making a copy" and doing their own thing. More often than not, it's these smaller companies that are jacking everything up. Lump aftermarket companies in there, too - there are companies that don't even produce firearms, and they make parts. The fundamental misunderstanding of the platform, and it's major variations, is what gets people in trouble. Aftermarket companies that don't understand a few key specs, AND terminology/nomenclature are the ones that are severely fucking this up. Then, toss in the "junk companies" to the mix - lowest cost, budget guns, from relatively unheard-of companies. It's all off-shore produced, no QC, farmed out to the buyer at super-budget prices. We've seen 'em. Those buyers are usually the ones that come here and complain the most, when they're given decent information. They don't want to hear that they need to drill the gas port up, replace the gas tube, shiitcan the entire recoil system, and buy a decent BCG... if their barrel isn't junk... they blow up when they get given the honest information, and it's flame-on... Budget prices will most usually attract "budget people" that think everything is under warranty forever, and it better last. They need to go compare a Schmidt & Bender to their Tasco and tell me it's the same... The lack of a standard has fucked this platform, by the aftermarket. Some companies think they're gonna make the ONE PART that works on all three major flavors - and it never does. There really are THREE major standards that can be followed, but the aftermarket (including barrel companies) don't follow any one of the three - they're trying to "combine" and save money... For recoil systems, there is ALWAYS HeavyBuffers.com. Clint is the man for recoil systems, and will get you straight, with the right parts. Sprinco also has it down, and does just springs - that work. Knowing the differences between systems is what willhelp you select the correct parts for what you're building. Barrels, and this "in between" bullshiit for gas port location - whatever. It's stupid. It's better - FAR better - to go with the longer Armalite gas tube than a short AR15 gas tube, when you run into that situation. Don't short yourself, and your rifle, by cutting your gas timing short. It's far better to have a little more, than not enough. That's the Demo Rule, right? "When you think you have enough, add one more..." I'll keep going on this, and add to the placeholders I saved above.
