Happy Birthday to the Much Better Half!!!

New Precision Rifle stock on the market, from Seekins Precision. No doubt at all that it will be very well built. http://www.seekinsprecision.com/procomp-10x.html Primary Arms has it for a good deal right now.

This is pretty funny. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/06/05/david-hogg-arm-wrestling-kaitlin-bennett/674141002/

This is just crazy. What a fascinating video... Make sure you hit this one, too - AR15 lower from beer cans...

That's okay - they're still well worth that, and alot more, brother. That crazy cheap $70-something barrel I just bought went on sale for $49, right after I received my tracking number...

Took a trip through the barrel with the 5mm borescope. Didn't clean it, nothing - wanted to see what was in there first. Chamber looks good, rifling looks good, I see a very little burr right there at the gas port, but that'll be gone with the first round outta the barrel. Hope it shoots like they say it will. Went after it with the Bore Snake after getting the video. It's ready for some rangetime...

Yeah, I didn't mess the title up... Mark LaRue put his MBT 2S trigger on sale for $87 each. This sale lasts until Christmas 2018. For real. LaRue MBT Christmas Sale !! $87 each through Christmas !! We introduced our MBT in early 2015 at $250 each. Then made some efficiency changes that made that amount way more than our profit model called for. So we came down to $200. Then consolidated the whole trigger shop into one large trigger hall. But that proved so efficient, we added the "I can wait price of $125", then we made more ergonomic changes in-house that smoothed through-put even more, so we had the $99 MBT sale. That got us somewhere past the 40,000th MBT trigger made, sold, or installed in LaRue rifles. "So Mark, what's with the $87 bucks?" Glad you asked. I want to ship the 50,000th MBT trigger before Christmas. Enjoy the savings ? Mark LaRue

Hey, hey now... I like dogs ALOT more than he does...

I know when I first put that one together, I tossed an AR-15 catch in it. It functioned, but I didn't like the engagement on the follower on an empty mag. I know I had trouble finding "the perfect" solution... I didn't address it on my build thread, and it took so damn long to build that gun that I forgot what I used now...

I can't remember what catch I used in my .338 Fed, on the Matrix receivers. I had to knock that corner off; it wouldn't clear. Maybe is was a 10A catch? I'll have to look at it again.

He'd eat me alive if I tried to take him out, brother...

This guy right here is almost 0.090" longer than that 10B catch posted above - you think you'll have to knock that squared edge off the back of it so it'll pivot okay?

Damnit!

Woke up at 5:30 this morning, prepped the ribeyes and the chuck steak. Bring 'em up to room temp, salt and sit 45 minutes per side (or maybe longer). Got the shrimp and the cheddar brats ready. Done cooking for the week, already. Gotta beat the heat, and grill in the morning. Gets too damn hot here to cook inside the house.

@washguy Right on, brother!!! I went through this thing to gather a price and get a parts list together. Kinda shocked at it, but to be fair, Matt left that rail at my house as an ambush - that would have easily moved this price north by $200, minimum... $74 Bear Creek Arsenal barrel, 16" stainless carbine gas, M4 profile (Primary Arms sale). Just days after I ordered it, they put it on sale again for $49. Damnit. $34 Matrix stripped upper receiver (PA sale). $164 to DSG Arms for: B5 stock, VLTOR A5 H buffer and spring, DSG lock plate and ring (RE), standard charging handle and PRI Combat Latch for it, Seekins enhanced bolt catch and hardware, port door kit and forward assist kit, mag catch parts, buffer retainer/spring, and carbine gas tube. $75 to my Gun Pusher for the Aero Gen 2 stripped lower. $74 to Huckleberry Arms (GREAT GUY!!!) for the Toolcraft nitrided 6.5G BCG. $21 to Shooter's World (over the counter) for the RVG forward grip. Could have picked it up cheaper, but forgot to order it... Rail came from Matt, as well as the pistol grip. Had the MaTech BUIS and 30-cal A2 FH already. Colt M4 FSB came out of the parts box to get modded. Takedown and pivot pins, springs, detents came out of the parts box. Regular old safety selector, pin and spring from the parts box. Enhanced trigger guard (aluminum one) from a batch of them, in the parts box. $200 to my tool truck guy at work - he sells gun parts. Got the KE Arms SLT-1 trigger from him. That's the single most expensive thing so far. $642 into this thing. With a mil-spec trigger from the parts box, it could have been $442. Pretty damn cool. Gotta say, that SLT-1 trigger is pretty nice. Good, short single stage with very short reset. Light pull, minimal takeup (very short takeup!), and it breaks easy. They list the pull weight at 4.5lbs, but is sure does feel lighter than that. Never noticed this before - TactiCat has a Peace Symbol on the top of his head...

Total setup... I shoulda seen that...

SMACK! This guy rocks. Completely badass. DeerMeatForDinner... he get's it done...

Fuk me, here we go...

That's what I was thinking!

I use these, almost exclusively now. I don't even look at crush washers anymore, or peel washers. These things are the sheeeeiiit. With these things, you base it off the largest shim, and calculate from there - they include a chart, for degrees of rotation needed. No way that muzzle device will bottom. https://precisionarmament.com/product/accu-washer-system/

EDIT - I removed this one. Needlessly bashed PSA again, but I think they'll get the hint. Edit complete.

It is insane. I lost my shiit in the Spring Shoot, when we shot it for the first time. I got that thing done about a week before the spring shoot, and hadn't even shot it yet. I figured, since it was short, that I'd HOPE to get it on at 500 yards. DAMN! Was I wrong, on that brother. WAY wrong. On the 18" Grendel I was 3.0 mils drop at 500 yards. On the 12.5" Grendel, I was 4.0 mils drop... fornicate me, this thing performs! Matt and I stretched it out to the 845 target. The short one was making impacts center-of-mass after dialing on the drop, and it was consistent as hell - I was nuts about that. I couldn't contain myself... I was so happy, I think I peed on Matt over it... The cartridge is fucking magic, man. It's fucking magic. You won't find anything in a small-frame AR that can beat it. I hedge that up to the .224 Valk, too...

They make all their own stuff, brother, here in the US of A - but they don't LISTEN. Apparently, they're immune to that. I have an H1 buffer from them that meets spec. I will send that to anyone here that needs it, FREE, and you don't even have to pay shipping. I'll eat shipping just to get the PSA parts out of my house, and off my property. I have a PSA 308 carbine recoil spring that I won't send to anybody, for anything. I'm throwing it into the dumpster at work - it's fucking worthless. It doesn't even meet the minimum spec for a fucking AR-15 Carbine buffer spring, let alone for use in a Large-Frame AR. What a piece of shiit. I have a PA-10 receiver extension here that I will replace with a VLTOR A5 extension (6 or 7 position, whatever one I find cheaper at the time), or a REAL AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension - interchangeable, between those two, because THEY know how to QC shiit... the PA-10 Carbine Receiver Extension, I'm keeping. I'm going to toss that thing in the fire at camp this Fall Shoot, and I'm going to dig up the molten aluminum blob that the fire makes of it - because that's what it's worth. I'll save that fucking thing, get pictures, and I'll post that shiit anytime anyone asks about a PA-10 with a collapsible stock. Every time I see it here. In the meantime, I ripped apart a 308 rifle just to get it's AR-10 receiver extension, JUST so I could finish this fucking Grendel, which is running a VLTOR A5 recoil system.

You guys can't even imagine the problems I'm having with this TOTAL POS PSA RECEIVER EXTENSION. PSA fucking sucks - they can't find their as$ with both hands and a map, when it comes to large-frame components. They fucking suck. I figured I'd re-use that fucked up .308 system they sent a guy, and I bought it off him - ang gave him a real .308 Carbine Recoil system for it. Yeah, I get it, gotta do something with the parts he sent me - the buffer is shiit, the recoil spring is REALLY shiit - but maybe I can re-use that receiver extension... Fuk no, what a POS, from PSA. A fucking B5 SOPMOD stock won't fit on it, without hammering the fucking thing on. Oh, once you're there? Yeah, you have to hammer it OFF. So, once I THINK I've got the problem figured out, and sanded down - the fucking locking pin in the collapsible stock WON'T lock into the PSA indentations. REALLY?!!? Did I NOT think to diassamemble the stock COMPLETELY, and MEASURE the fucking pin in the B5 stock, then MEASURE the HOLES that PSA put into their PA-10 receiver extension?!!? Fuk no, I didn't think I'd have to do that. PSA, you guys need to seriously unfuck what you're doing on your .308 recoil system. I don't know how many times I need to tell you this, but your .308 recoil system needs totally fucking SCRAPPED, and you need to go back to the damn drawing board. Un-fucking-real how fucked up this is. ATTENTION!!! : Anyone with a PSA large-frame AR. THROW YOUR RECOIL SYSTEM IN THE TRASH. IN. THE. TRASH. SAVE YOUR HEADACHES, DON'T FUK AROUND, AND JUST FIND A "REAL" GENUINE ARMALITE AR-10 CARBINE RECOIL SYSTEM. PSA CAN'T FIGURE THEIR SHIIT OUT. EDIT - Hey, Josiah, Jamin's brother... Maybe you should have seen that Jamin GOT my message to the girl in front, when I PM'd you and asked you to do that. Maybe you should have called me back... Your Large-Frame recoil system is so fucked up, I can't even descibe it... LIsten to your customers, a$sholes...

Exactly, these dumbasses here... I'm telling you... Phoenix. So many people that live in Phoenix are not from here. Hell, I'm not, I'm a Southeastern Ohio boy, myself. It's a city of "transplants." These stupid fuckers here - if it rains, they can't drive. Holy shiit, where YOU CAME FROM it rained all the time, and NOW you can't drive in this shiit?!!? If the dust blows... they can't drive. Okay, I get it - just play like you're in Mad Max, and put the fucking pedal to the floor, and watch your lane... They will STOP IN THE LANE, and put their hazard lights on. Come on, get THE FUK off the road here, so I can put my foot to the floor and get away from you as$holes... Or, they BARELY get off the road - like one tire still on the line! - and put their hazards on... I think I need to rent a Blackhawk helicopter in order to train some of these shiitheads. I'll just have it hover over them, or match their speed - over them -and brown-out everything near them. Learn to function, so the rest of us that already CAN function, can continue on with our day... Off my soapbox now...
