  1. I like your plan...
  2. I'd get that hump on the upper machined down, brother. It's not necessary, it just covers that little piece of port door rod.
  3. Do you want to build it piece by piece, of your own configuration? Or, would you rather buy a complete rifle and change some things along the way?
  4. Nah, I'm just trying to keep up...
  5. @Bigfoot WTF is this thing, brother?!!? Some weird thing stalking a moose in Canada!!!
  6. If bored true vertical, it would have to be forward of it's current location on order to accomplish the same placement of the buffer retainer pin (end), and still accomplish the same dimensional placement of the buffer - to be kicked off that retainer pin when you close the receivers. There's not alot of room there to be placing it any further forward, and still retain the lower receiver's strength in that area... That's just my non-machinist, non-engineer point of view, but what do I know...
  7. FUK YEAH, THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE, MY MAN!!!!
  8. Remember McDonald's Monopoly Game? Get your millions, just collect the board game pieces. From your drink, fries, whatever. It was rigged from the inside. This might become big news, it might not. It's a huge story, though. The trial started on September 10th, 2001 - yeah, the day before 9/11. It was buried, in the news, obviously. This piece of news right here is an excellent article on it all, and just came out 6 days ago. I think it's only popular, because now there's gonna be a movie made about it all. No joke, Matt Damon and Ben Afflect are involved... This is a good read - it's long, but it gives you everything you need to know. P.S. Spoiler Alert - the Canadians were screwed. From the get go. https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-an-ex-cop-rigged-mcdonalds-monopoly-game-and-stole-millions
  9. Hey, brother, we didn't design it. Eugene Stoner did. He designed it that way for a reason. I think the examples that you could show where there's a notch in the lower receiver ring at the top, would be a shortcut that you'd have to make to bore it true vertical, and not go through the machine setup to bore it on a 6-degree angle. Don't blame us - that's the reason it's bored at an angle, and not true vertical, by the designer. That man knows alot more about the system than I do. I'm just here to bastardize his creation, and help people that buy parts that others make (you know the ones... those manufacturers that can't understand his creation)...
  10. If it's bored pure vertical, it sets the buffer further back in the receiver extension - and increases the chance that the BCG won't make contact with the buffer, and push it off the retainer when you close/pin the receivers together.
  11. Our radical differences in weather at this time of the year - it honestly boggles my mind, brother. Blows me away. This rock we all live on can be a strange place... My neighbors put their trash cans out too early, and didn't watch the weather. Trash pickup is tomorrow... Oh, and the streets are flooded... My palm tree out back took a beating, but survived - it was raining sideways, like in Forrest Gump... I was gonna grill some ribeyes tonight, too, damnit...
  12. Damn power just came back on. What an adventure that was. Went from 110 to 88 in about 30 minutes or so. Fucking Desert...
  13. Damn.If I trust weather.com, there's a wall of water headed my way - I sure hope so. Vis out front went to shiit a few minutes ago. Went out back to check it out - that 2-story above my wall, right where my right cactus is - that 114 yards away. Vis sucks right now, and I'm glad I'm not driving with these idiots here, in rush hour. HAHA! Fuk me, here's that house now, a few minutes later... Neighbor is about to lose a tree... News said we could get gusts of 60mph - I'll but that...
  14. Got one coming up on me right now, heavy and hard, from the southwest. Hopefully, the rain is behind it. 5:30pm here: EDIT - I was gonna wait until 5:45pm here for another pic, but it's already on me. This is 5:41pm. NOW it's 5:45... My trees out back started moving pretty good, so I snapped another pic out front...
  15. Very good news.
  16. ^^^ Exactly what the Gun Pusher and I were talking about this morning. Why did NOT ONE of these guys have a rifle?...
  17. 98Z5V

    Guy is nuts...

    I know - I thought he was in his flannel pajamas...
  18. HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Again, very well played, my man.
  19. As soon as they saw that bloody knife - he already used it to attack his girl, and that knife was HUGE!!! - as soon as they saw that, and he refused to drop it, they had a reason to do away with that guy for good.
  20. https://forum.308ar.com/search/?q="Phase 5"
  21. Wow. Not to second guess their situation, but they had a huge opportunity before that guy got to the woman. Huge opportunity. Sweep the legs. Shoot him in the legs, subdue him, get him his medical treatment and prosecute him.
  22. Just don't run pistol powder in your rifle loads, and double check it. H-110 is what I use in 300 BLK - the rifle round that runs pistol powder, to make it work... I'm around 16-ish grains in a 150gr projectile 300 BLK load, for 1800fps. I use Accurate 1680 also, can get more in for another 200fps. I run 90.0 grains of RL-22 rifle powder in Ron's .338 Lapua Magnum loads, 225gr projectiles @ 2900fps. Can you imagine 90grains of pistol powder in a 338 LM load? Holy FUK! That's what happened here... KAAAAAA-boom. Bigtime. EDIT - just checked the Hornady 10 manual for .338 LM and H1000 powder. I'd have to load 96.6 grains of it with the 225gr projo to get to 2900fps... That's ALOT of H-110 pistol powder to go wrong! I can completely understand this destruction here...
  23. I'd never seen this before, online. The credit went to Vortex scopes, because the scope ate most of it, and kept it from getting worse than it could have been. This came from the Vortex FB page, but I pulled it from Mark Miller's page on The Loadout Room. https://loadoutroom.com/11059/vortex-scope-survives-explosion-saves-owner/ Vortex Scope Survives Explosion And Saves Its Owner August 8, 2014 by Mark Miller I saw this on the Vortex Facebook Page and wanted to share. If you reload or shoot reloads, check twice. “This was my Savage 111LRH 338 Lapua I had accidentally loaded it with Hodgdon H-110 handgun powder instead of H-1000 rifle powder so when I touched it off the whole gun blew up like a bomb with bits a pieces flying. Your scope forced all the shrapnel down and away from everyone, I had the top straps miss my left arm by a 1/2 inch. If your scope wasn’t on the rifle or if your scope was built so well that shrapnel would have been sent outward and may have hit and injured people standing by. I myself by the grace of God only got 3 little nicks where I could have been severely injured or killed. Yes God does look after stupid people!”
  24. I have no idea how this guy hasn't lost his left thumb yet. Not even to mention, pushing that chainsaw into the wood, right at the tip. That thing bites, and it flips under, and you just lost one of those toes... You know, the ones that are sticking out of your Crocs.... Crocs and chainsaws. I'd never, ever think that's okay... This shiit is cool, though...
  25. NO KIDDING!!!
