That's funny as hell!!! Before I finished mine and posted the pics here, I'd already been talking to Drew all about it. Once the pics went up, it didn't take very long for him to get baited into talking about the wood color... He said something like "your wood is alot darker than I imagined..." BAM! Instant setup, to be capitalized off of immediately... It's in the thread on it, where ever the hell that is here...

Looks like my ex-wife bit it, Jake's mom. Looks like her teeth marks...

Wonder if it clears BADASS safeties? Watching the vid now, and I picked up on it when he says it completely clears your mil-spec safety...

I still think they need to fix their damn 308ARs...

Unbelievable find. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/03/05/uss-lexington-discovered-by-billionaire-paul-allens-crew-76-years-after-wwii-sinking.html

That is excellent shooting.

308 stuff. Rifle length recoil systems. They all use the same receiver extension, be it A1,A2, AR-15, 308AR, whatever. (We're not talking RRA here, just DPMS and Armalite patterns, ONLY). So, here's the difference between A1 and A2 - the A2 stock is 5/8" longer than an A1, so you have to use a 5/8" spacer, and a new vented screw that 5/8" longer, to make that longer stock fit the "A1" rifle receiver extension. THey both use the same extension. AR15s and 308ARs use the same rifle receiver extension. AR15 rifle buffers are 5.900" long. 308AR BCGs are about 0.700" longer than AR15 BCGs, and they have to work in that same rifle receiver extension depth - so 308AR rifle buffers are 5.200" long. So, that's rifle receiver extensions and AR15 rifle buffers, and 308AR rifle buffers - not RRA. Let's move to Carbine recoil systems in the big guys.First is DPMS-based info. DPMS pattern uses the industry-standard AR15 Carbine Recoil Extension, which has a 7" internal depth. AR15 carbine buffers are 3.250" long. Now, remember, that 308AR BCG is about 0.700" longer than an AR15 BCG, and if you run the DPMS pattern carbine shiit, then you run the DPMS pattern carbine buffer, which is 2.500" long. That way, all those parts work within the same space constraints. Now, Armalite AR-10 Carbine parts. Armalite went about this a completely different way - and it was the original way... They already have AR15 Carbine heavy buffers that are the appropriate weight (H3 weight) to run the AR-10 with a collapsible stock. They really are just AR15 H3 carbine buffers, and they're 3.250" long. Now, how do you make that longer BCG work with that buffer? Easy, you make the AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension longer. It has an internal depth of 7 5/8". Close enough to work well, and it does work well. AR15 recoil springs will not work with 308ARs. They're not strong enough. Armalite came up with ONE spring that works for AR-10 rifle recoil systems, AND works with AR-10 carbine recoil systems. It's the EA1095 spring. That's Armalite's part number. Can you run that spring in a DPMS-base 308AR recoil system? Hell yeah, you can. Doesn't matter if it's carbine or rifle recoil systems, either - DPMS-based systems have to work within the same space constraints that the Armalite systems do. Armalite just decided to tackle the carbine recoil system a little differently, with a heavy AR15 H3 carbine buffer and longer tube, instead of a standard AR15 tube and some shortened, lightass buffer. Thus endeth the sermon.

I'd have to make a list, and have "qualifications" at the Fall Shoots, before I'd let some of these guys shoot at that thing... The Short-barreled trigger-speed champions would have to qualify TWICE... Doc, with his open sights, at night - he's already qualified. He can shoot this thing anytime. With damn near anything.

This is sweet. I might need a couple of these.

BIG KUDOS TO PSA!!! @Palmetto State Armory, Josiah - pass it on, you guys did well on this. https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/03/03/gun-company-that-sells-ar-15-has-perfect-response-to-dicks-sporting-goods-new-firearm-policy Palmetto State Armory would like to go on record stating that we support the Second Amendment. While this may seem like an obvious statement, we as a company felt it necessary to make our opinion known to the general public. Palmetto State Armory also strongly supports the First Amendment which enables individuals to voice their opinions, even those in contrast with our own. We believe that a primary purpose of the Second Amendment is actually to protect the First Amendment. In regards to the actions taken today by the CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods to no longer sell the AR-15 platform, while we do not agree with this decision, we recognize the fact that capitalism gives him the right to make this call. PSA however, does have an issue when misinformation is spread in the very next sentence by referring to the platform as an “assault rifle.” AR stands for Armalite Rifle which pays homage to the company that originally created the platform. To blame the rifle or a high capacity magazine for the actions of an evil man is illogical and is only applied when referring to firearms. Senseless acts of violence are a terrible plague on society that we all recognize we need to try and prevent as a community, but to blame a tool such as a firearm is at very best missing the point of the problem. When a vehicle is used to commit an act of violence we as a society do not blame the car, we do not blame the speed, or the steering wheel, but rather the driver. It is our hopes that we can approach this negativity with humanity and both sides of the argument can come together and have a civil and intellectual conversation that continues to make this amazing county better. We are all in this together, and we all want the same thing. Safety, happiness, and the “American Dream.”

That's the AP Ghost Gun lower, brother, that has that.

Money and time, brother - I'm an impatient fucker...

^^^ He nailed it.

This article has me jonesin' on this cartridge. I already know what the Grendel can do - and it's a hell of alot better than anything else I've shot in a small-frame AR. Grendel is amazing. This, though... http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/10/06/ar-15s-creedmoor-224-valkyrie-vs-22-nosler-6-5-grendel-modern-intermediate-calibers-025/

Man, you have no idea how bad I want to suppress that 45-70...

What was your rifle doing, with the standard gas block, that made you switch to an adjustable? And what did the adjustable fix? Not nit-picking, I just want to know.

All day long. I agree.

I almost went there...

Right?!!? That vid worked, that's for damn sure! That smoker was LOADED!

Thank ya, brother!

Happy Anniversary to you two, brother. Congrats, as well.

Earl Sammich, I know you'll lurk and still check shiit out - you need the numbers on the bolts - if you still care to figure that out. In the meantime, check this out... Click this one for a good read, too.

Greg's edit cracks me up...
