Just quote me, like I just quoted myself, and add your info, and it'll all work out into a pretty good list of info... YOU HAVE TO QUOTE THAT ABOVE POST (NOT THIS ONE), OR YOU'LL FUK IT UP...

Can we get a head-count going for this one? Just trying to figure peoplenumbers here... Also, indicate what day you'll arrive - I need to plan ribeyes for Wednesday night, and "grill-management..." Who is DEFINITELY IN on this Fall Shoot? Just quote a piece of this (edit out the top information, and leave this information below...) Dates for THE SHOOT are Thursday through Sunday, 18~21 October 2018. Most people are arriving on Wednesday, 17 October 2018, and leaving Monday, 22 October 2018. 1. ME - I live here. I'm here all the time. 2. Matt Cross. 17 Oct arrival. 3 & 4. Ron R-Squared and daughter. 17 Oct arrival. 5. ROB. He decided to make his flight in for the 18th, so he'll arrive sometime while we're out there already shooting. I don't know what I'n gonna do with him, but I don't need to count him into the Wednesday night grill-cooking, due to his time management skills... 6. Greg/GREG. Arrives 17 Oct. I don't know which one will show up at the airport, but I know which one I'll find around the grill that night... 7. mrraley - will arrive 17 Oct. Will fly out 22 Oct.

That gripe would come from people that don't know what they're doing, brother... I'm pretty sure it has a standard A2 front sight post in there, with 4 rotation positions (if it's 5 rotation positions, it's an A1 front sight post). It's 0.070" wide, A2. The beauty of the A2 front sight post is ranging - standard man is 18" wide at the shoulders. If you sight in on a standard man that's 18" wide at the shoulders, and he fills that same width as the front sight post... he's 300 yards meters away. Little bigger than the front sight post - he's closer. Don't change your point of aim. Little narrower - he's a little farther away. Aim higher.

^^^ Same here, brother...

Right on!

^^^ That's a badass gun, brother. I've only got one CAS-V, and it's on the 9mm, with a YHM folder stuck in the front. What an awesome rail.

Happy for you, brother! Run that beast!

I like watching how this all went down...

Yep, the 20" Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter barrel. They just didn't have the weight listed on this page, so I had to find something similar from them that did have a weight listed... https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Match-Grade-Barrel-260-Remington-Tactical-Hunter-20-1-8-Twist-Stainless-Fluted/productinfo/TR-260THRG20FT8/ Tough call, between that one and the LaRue 22" barrel. The one other Wilson Combat barrel I have is the .338 Federal barrel, and it is completely badass. I'm comfortable with the decision...

I think I found ARTrooper's first post. It has to be, the way shepp was in his as$ about an intro... So, anyway, with AR-10 Carbine gas tubes out of stock everywhere, I raided one from the .338 Fed to get Gopher's gun running right. Since that gun is down, I snatched the DWilson BCG from it, and put it in this gun, just to get some basic weights. As it sits right now, it can be fired. It can't be aimed, with no sights, but it could fire some .308 Winchester through it and function fine. It's sitting at 2715 grams for the complete upper assembly, and 1362 grams for the complete lower, with an empty PMag LR-20 in it. I used grams to freak the Cali Cop out... That's a functional rifle weight of 8.988 lbs. I know the scope will be 29.6 oz (1.85 lbs), and the LaRue mount will add a little. I'll put a Vortex bubble level on it; couple oz? The .260 Rem barrel will probably be a little heavier than a .308 Win barrel (smaller bore, more metal). It'll be a pig. Tell you what, though - that AB Arms USS is keeping some serious weight off this thing. Rob is right on the money, on that stock. EDIT - Barrel-wise, it looks like the barrel weight will be a wash. Rainier doesn't make the "Select" barrel anymore, but the weight on their 18" Match barrel has the exact same profile, and it's listed at 2lb, 10oz (42oz). Wilson Combat doesn't list a weight for their .260 Rem 20" fluted barrel, but they list the weight for the 6.5 Creedmoor barrel in the same configuration - it's gonna be real close to that, and it's 42.4oz. Sweet...

Exactly what I thought - would be a good trigger on a larger pistol, and smaller-pistol triggers usually suck. This one is nice.

Gas port should be somewhere around 0.081" on the low side, 0.086" on the high side... That will work.

I think these were delayed so long - to fix them. Had one in my hands last week. With the 12-rd mag, it's a full-grip mini-pistol. Trigger is surprising - it doesn't suck.

Rainier Arms Select .308 barrel, stainless, 18", true AR15 midlength gas system. Gas port diameter 0.081".

Thank you, mley, thank you.

^^^ Straight ruthless, right there...

I remember that speech, sometime this spring. That guy has his stuff straight. Army SF guy with a couple tours in Iraq - I'm glad he's stepping up to make a political difference in that swamp of thieves.

I just went back through the thread here, brother, and I can't find your barrel length. I can't imagine it's a 20", with that gas system. Gotta be an 18"or 16"?... Need that barrel length info first, because gas port location and barrel length are the two biggest factors in gas port size...

Some rich dickhead in Phx that didn't even need to have that gun in the first place, ... Fuckbag lost his Kimber, and probably only bought it for a status symbol in the first place, then he doesn't have enough of his own nuts to report that he lost his pistol in a river tubing trip... Love his UTG bag... Keep it? And not say anything? Risky. You have it on you, years later, and it's found to be used in the Maryvale murders... Really risky. That's jail. To get it back, possibly, from the police, after some fuktard dropped it in the river when he was drunk as fuk on a tubing trip- and he never reported it? Priceless...

I'll get a picture of those bastards in the light, in the morning. I don't know if I have a box big enough for them! PM me your shipping addy - I have two for you, I think. I don't know... EDIT - Oh, I have 5 or 6 new ones I can cut, too...

It'll work better once I up the weight and get the length at what you need. I've got the numbers, now. This isn't gonna be difficult.

That receiver extension length (internal depth) had to change at some point brother. I'm betting they had something WAY shorter on those guns before, and changed because something wasn't working right. Probably the only reason you could GET them working right before was because of a Slash buffer - and they changed something in that extension... Hey now, mine measures grams, or ounces. I choose to present the ounces, because of you bastards... @Armed Eye Doc, don't shoot your RRA again until the Fall Shoot. Bring that thing with you, and I'll have a buffer for you, too. I wanna look at that gun...

Albro, I'm betting money that if you yank that gas tube out of your Anderson right now, it's gonna be an AR15 Midlength gastube, at 11 3/4" long. You can just do the easy thing, and make sure you're getting all the gas that you're supposed to have, and pick up that LBE Unlimited tube you showed, at 12 1/16" long (12.0625" - 12 1/16", they just didn't include the extra digits - or really it's an extra 25/10-thou short, so they're not copying Armalite?...). Either way is gonna fix your problem, and not short you on gas timing. It's not gonna increase your gas timing in some crazy manner, either, when it comes up "just a tick" past the center of the cam pin cutout. - That's better than being short... That's the easy, cheaper way... If you really do want it perfect, and centered up - on that Anderson barrel - you will need to make your detailed measurements (just like you said, end of tube to center of cam pin cutout), before you break it all down, then measure the OAL of that tube, and add that much. Add that shortage to the center of the cam pin cutout to the tube OAL. I'll tell you right now - from the center of a gas PORT in a gas tube, to the very end of the gas tube, is 0.600". You can measure from center of cam pin cutout, all the way to the gas port location in your barrel, and ADD 0.600", and that'll be your perfect gas tube length, that you'll need White Oak to make for you. I'll still bet that your gas port in the barrel is too small. You need to measure that. Indexed, numbered drill bits are the best way, unless you have a snap-gauge that measures under 0.100".

I have an Armalite AR15 National Match gas tube right here - it's identical in length to an AR15 Rifle gas tube, it just has different bends...
