LOOOOOONG time ago. Something was on sale, someone here went to purchase it, and it was instantly out of stock. Out of the cheap seats comes Drew, saying... "That's Lesson 65b. You snooze, you lose..."

Hit that thing with the lube, Jim!!! See if it behaves different. Add just a little, and see if you can keep it running - hit that piston and the "cylinder" for it. It might improve, at least for a few more rounds...

That almost sound like sex...

Shiit - he's LOCAL. I wanna get him out on a shoot with us, so I can actually see a PSA run, in person! Think of it like Rob, watching a guy shoot a CMMG that ran...

^^^ That's it.

That is awesome!!!

1. Both/All UBR stocks have an integrated recever extension, so yes, it comes with the stock. 2.Any collapsible stock will, or can be made to, work on a 308AR. 3. "Any carbine-length receiver extension for an AR15" will thread into your lower receiver. However, at that very point, that you mount that part up, you need some shortened buffers. The Armalite AR-10 Carbine receiver extension is the best way to go, because it's longer than the standard AR15 carbine receiver extension, AND it used regular old AR15 Carbine H3 buffers. 4. Mil-spec. Hands down. No need to run the Commercial when you have the choice. 5. No, that's just the copy of the DPMS-based parts, and the short buffer. I alluded to this before, in one of my earlier posts in this thread. Eventually, when the UBR2 hits the market, you KNOW you will change that backend out with the UBR2. Make it easy on yourself now. Standard AR15 carbine receiver extensions have an internal depth of 7". That forces you to use a short 308AR carbine buffer. The genuine Armalite AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension has an internal depth of 7 5/8", which allows you to use the longer, Standard AR15 carbine bsuffer - in a 308 build, you use the H3-weighted heavy buffer. Use the Armalite EA1095 spring with this setup. You can purchase the necessary parts in one place, right online at DSG Arms. Once your new UBR2 arrives, your spring and buffer will drop right in and function like they're supposed to - in the UBR2.

Can't blame you a bit.

Yep, got it handled! I will have in my smuggled possession, one 9-round XDs magazine for you by this weekend, as well!

I can't imagine living in a state where you have to do that, be it New York, Cali, or one of the other socialist states on the eastern seaboard... I feel for the people there...

The writing is on the wall now, clear as day... In about 4 weeks, we're gonna see a BUNCH of new Shield owners asking fukkin' questions about why their 308 build doesn't work.

Hey, it was all Matt's idea, brother...

It's gonna be tough as hell to get a good cheek weld with that scope so high. Might need a chin weld...

Might not be the complete OAL, end to end, but the shoulder on the firing pins will definitely be in a different location, for longer bolt and shorter bolt. That shoulder on the firing pin is what hits the back of the bolt tail when you fire the round, and it's location determines how far that firing pin protrudes through the bolt face, and how much of it goes into the primer surface.

There has to be an OAL difference in the firing pins, if one bolt is longer than the other brand...

At the Fall Shoot, Mike taped up a steel target to shoot up, with red duct tape. Bad idea. As soon as he was back at the firing line, we shot the shiit out of it and blew all the tape off... Duct tape on steel targets doesn't work too well - the spalling just makes the stuff fly off...

They did a great job on that! Despite what these ruffians are saying!

HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!

Not sure yet. I have some Barnes 100gr TSX that I'll try tonight. The problem with the higher BC bullets is that the taper of the ogive goes so far back the bullet, before the .257" diameter on the shank starts- that would have them pretty far out of the case, and beyond mag-length. The solution for that is the 25-233, which trims the entire case length back to 43mm - take 2mm off the front. That opens up the case to alot more projectiles. It's a different chamber, though. There's 60-something pages on it all over at ARF, and there are definitely opinions... Watching the vid of whacking steel on a first-round hit at 800 yards with factory 87gr ammo - I don't see a need for higher BC bullets, IMHO.

NICE!!!

That's all angle... That Lancer maxes out at 2.272" and I'm loading at 2.260". Yeah, once-fired. The expander takes a second to get the feel for. Going up from .224" to .257", if you just run it like you're resizing and depriming a piece of brass, you'll split the case mouth if you're going too fast...

My motley fool jumps into the gun cases when I'm packing up to go shooting - he's trying to be a stowaway!... He 'bout got his a$s trapped in the reloading shed today...

Just finished up, and I'm ready to go! Don't know if I'll be able to wait until Sunday to try these out...

Pretty good side by side of the cartridge improvement, over 5.56. I hope I can get this 90-grain beast close to 2900 fps...

NOTE: Run the .223 brass through the .25-cal expander die SLOW at first, until you get the feel for it!!! I'm just sayin'...
