WHO MADE IT?... Belgian, Paraguay, German, US, French, South African, South American... ??? Check it - I straight asked you this question... WTF, guy?...

You completely didn't listen to anything I told you, did you? I'm not your boss, I get it, I don't tell you what to do... Yeah, I get it. But what I asked you and what I told you to do wasn't for MY health or prosperity. Holy shiit, guy. Get with it.

Give brands of ammo. You didn't.Who made the M80 ball that you were shooting" "federal deer hunting .308 ammo" could be ANYTHING. What Federal ammo was it? Post pictures of the box of it if you can't recall the specific type...

Wow. Deep question. You need SOME KINDA tool to tighten your castle nut. I've used punches and hammers in a pinch, depends on the circumstances. Figure that out. The right tool makes it much easier. Aftermarket "buffer tubes" won't do shiit for you. They should all be made to a specification, and the only real thing that matters is the internal DEPTH of it. If it's correct, in the internal depth - nothing else really matters. Buffer springs are a different story. It all depends on what you rifle is doing, as to whether you need one. Describe what your rifle is doing, what malfunction it has, in order to determine if you need a different spring... Details. Give it up.

YES!!! VICTORY OVER POLITICAL CORRECTNESS@@@@!!!!!!!

^^^ THAT is my plan...

22", cut to 21.75". Really. There's something about 21 3/4" barrel that just performs. http://www.angelfire.com/ma3/max357/houston.html http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2017/04/legends-of-accuracy-the-secrets-of-the-houston-warehouse/

Fuckin' TRUE!!! That little insignificant pipsqueak is selling TONS of them!!!...

This Mk 316 Mod 0 is probably our answer. Or, skip trying to find it, and just get FGMM 175gr ammo. I can tell you this - at every single Desert Shoot that Matt has been at, that specific FGMM performs. Perfectly. He's got a drop chart that is dead nutz on, at every range we've tried it on. @Matt.Cross He'd never shot at 845 yards before. He consulted his drop chart for that ammo, and had a hit on the second round. The drop chart for it was right on. That ammo performs. I was pissed when he did that, because the pressure was DEFINITELY ON!!!

That would be well worth the price of admission - for what you're getting in capabilities... I'm just sayin'... DPMS platform will be cheaper to get into, but you're still gonna pay for a quality .260 Rem barrel. That PF barrel will be at the very top of the heap... Call Craddock Precision...

I'm telling you... you know of any other 5.56-based short barrel, at 12.5", or even close one way or the other... that's gonna reach out and hit at 845 yards with boring authority?... 10.2 mils of drop at 845 yards. I was astonished, dumbfounded, dumbstruck... Hell, I didn't know whether I'd been shot, fucked, powderburned or snakebit... Now, keep in mind, that was with the ammo that's too damn hot. I'll have a rework on that dope coming up. Really damn soon...

I'm here for you. When you need me. I will help you with the Grendelization of your 5.56 rifles... Perfect for the .260 Rem! You will probably beat me to it!

Early on, I had shiitty results with M118LR in my first DPMS-based 308, with all great parts, built for accuracy... and I stopped buying it. It did well from a bolt gun, but that wasn't why I was trying to get it. I feel the pain, brother.

The 175gr FGGM might be the match for it, but this is the "needs" statement on why it was developed. M118LR wasn't getting it done in gas guns. Mk 316 Mod 0 is the recipe that works for the gas guns. Info in pic came from this presentation: https://ndiastorage.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/ndia/2009/infantrysmallarms/tuesdaysessioniii8524.pdf

Improved M118LR, optimized for gas guns.

I've been planning a .260 Rem for a long time. The 6.5 projectile is a force to be reckoned with, due to it's sectional density and the ballistic coefficient. It's incredible. I can't believe I ignored a Grendel for as many years as I have, and I'm hooked on it now. It smokes 5.56 for distance. Bad. Hell, my .308 Win 178gr load for distance needed 9.0 mils of drop at 845 yards. That's from the 20" Rem 700 AAC-SD bolt gun. The 18" Grendel smacked down the same target at 8.2 mils of drop... With less wind drift... The 12.5" Grendel got to 845 yards with 10.2 mils of drop... A little over an addition mil of drop at 845 yards, compared to a 20" barreled 1:10" twist bolt gun, shooting an optimized load. Grendel is nuts, brother. .260 Rem will be even better. All the 6.5 CM guys ignore the fact that the .260 Rem has a slight advantage over it, in case capacity, speed, and (slightly) accuracy. I was bummed to see SOCOM go 6.5CM. AMU was shooting .260 Rem for a long time, in testing. I'll have a .260 Rem AR in the future. It's a priority - as long as I can keep it higher up in the priority list. Craddock Precision will be who I get the barrel from.

Fucking BRILLIANT way to get rid of Liberals!!! I miss Tourette's Guy...

Bullshiit - you were excited for a second...

Well, took the 12.5" Grendel out for the first time at the Spring Shoot. It performed flawlessly. Surprised us all and performed well at 500 yards - but the surprise and the shock was with how it performed at 845 yards. After getting drop data for 500 and 845 yards, I reworked the drop chart for it, and this is pretty much what it was doing: Well, to get that data, I had to play with the velocity input number to come up with the drop numbers that I actually saw out there. Shocking that the 12.5" gun was pumping out 2370 fps. The really bad thing was... ALL the primers were flat as hell. No cratered primers, but every single spent case had a flatass primer, and serious ejector swipe. Fuk, too hot. The accuracy was there, and it worked okay on the 18" gun - until I really went back and looked at some of the 18" gun's brass. Flat primers. Shiit. The reworked drop chart on the 18" gun showed that is was screamin' at 2585 fps. 3.0 mils of drop at 500 yards, and 8.2 mils of drop at 845 yards - that's 2585 fps. Damn hot. So, the rework on the loadup was shot today. I dropped a full grain, and started back up on 0.2 grain increments,and took it back out today, on the 18" gun. Went 27.5 grains, 27.7, 27.9, 28.1, and 28.3 grains. I shot some of the 28.5g that I still had loaded up, just to look at it again. I'll rework the drop chart based on a computed velocity, then take it back out at 500 yards and 850 yards, to verify what my real drops are. Then, come back and finalized the drop chart again. I'll have to do the same thing with the 12.5" gun as the 18" gun, to verify the load. "Ballistic truing" is what I've seen this called. 27.5 grains of Accurate 2520, CCI 400 primers, Hornady 6.5 Grendel brass, and Hornady 123g ELD-M projectiles - that's gonna be the load, based on what I saw today. On that 27.5g target, I straight boned up that first shot and pulled it left. I knew it when I took up on the Geissele trigger. I wish I hadn't, so I could see what that one could have really done. I only made 5 of each load for testing... Everything this morning was shot from loaded bipod, no rear bag.

See that shiit right there? Yeah. You guys thought I was crazy, didn't ya?!...

I can calculate it if we can find a verified velocity from another known rifle. Just need velocity and barrel length. Wash, Mk 319 is different ammo than he's asking about - Mk 316 Mod 0. Here's some good stuff on the newer loadings. No velocity data, though, on the 316... https://ndiastorage.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/ndia/2009/infantrysmallarms/tuesdaysessioniii8524.pdf

I couldn't find mine, either - and had to figure out the paperclip thing quick!

Paperclip works, brother. Straighten it, lock the slide back, stick paperclip wire into the hole in the guide rod. Slowly let the slide back forward until the guide rod/guide spring assemble locks the paperclip wire in place. Then bend the paperclip forward, away from the pistol. All you're really doing is putting a 90-degree bend in the paperclip wire. This will let you take it all down, and still have the shortened guide rod and dual spring assembly contained. Kimber only does this on the 3" and 4" 1911s, with less-than-standard-length guide rods/springs. The 5" ones still use a bushing, as far as I know. Kimber "Ultras" are 3", Kimber "Pros"are 4", and if it doesn't say Ultra or Pro in the name, it's a 5".

Ray will build one!... @suzukiray
