HAHA!!!

Don't try to press it out - put a punch (that's larger than the small end of the pin) on it, and smack the hell out of it! You're not going to hurt anything,so let that fear go. Hit that thing like Ali, man - you HAVE to...

Any of them blued, Mack? Meaning, blued metal, not parkerized? I've got some other stuff for you, for blued metal, if you've got that. I'm sure you do, man. Don't you HATE wiping all that down with a silicone cloth, then worrying if you touched it,...only to store it,and find you DID touch it, when you see that rusty fingerprint on a part of the barrel? That's acid on your skin that does that. I've got something you can wipe on that neutralizes acid, after it's wiped on. You could wipe down your blued shotgun barrels, then grab them by the barrels to put them in the safe - never have a mark on them, WAY down the road...

You fuckers are crazy... I've been planning to build a trebuchet. I don't know if I'll get it finished before this next meet...

Hey Jeff, just read your intro - were you putting reloads in that? Sticking reloads? Might be neck diameter, if it was...

Welcome, man.

It's a pissed-off midget with a BIG HAMMER...

He nailed it. Might be a tight chamber, too, but that's not too common anymore. 'Bout 5 years ago, though... that shiit was common.

They are tapered pins. I think I've posted about this, but it was a long time ago. Hit the SMALL end of the pin - look at the left sides and right sides, and you'll see what I mean. And you need to hit it like it took something from you. SMACK the fuk outta that thing. It'll move. Don't be afraid of it, just MASH IT. I'm being serious... Here's a good writeup on it: http://www.gswagner.com/arsight/arsightmods2.html

I wish! It sure would smell good once you heated the hell out of it!!!

Been working with an additives manufacturer for the last 2.5 years, in the motorcycle industry. Turns out, personally, he's a firearms guy. The topic of lube came up, and he mixed up a concoction that he's gonna market. I've been his beta tester. I've used it on the break-in of the last two AR-15s, but those little things will run bone-dry when new. This is the first large-frame AR I've finished since I got the product. I will send out some samples to any well-respected, contributing members. I'll contact those of you. Give it a whirl, contact me with recommendations, give me back a quick write-up on it...

^^^ This.

Tell you what - this rifle shoots easier than the 16" .308AR I have. DAMN easier than the 16" .308 Win bolt gun that I have (Ruger GSR, WITH Spike's DynaComp). That GSR used to rattle teeth, before the comp on it. Now, it just shakes teeth... This .338 Fed AR shoots softer than the .308 WIN AR, and it's the exact same brake on both rifles - so, ZERO disparity there. Damn, this thing is nice...

Okay, back to the lube. LUBE. Only fired 60 rounds today out of the rifle. However, stripped everything in the BCG down when I got home, and literally wiped it all down. I literally WIPED all the junk off the bolt tail, and the firing pin. Now, granted, it was only 60 rounds down the pipe - but everything was coated before I left, and I WIPED IT OFF once I returned... I've never been able to do this before... More testing will definitely happen.

No more psycho-bitches. That's the real answer. Pass all future prospective women through DNPs wife FIRST - SHE is really my sanity check against psychosis. No joke. She smells a psycho-bitch from miles away. Other than that, I have to ride this out, right now, and hope I make it. If not, well... lay claim to the shiit that has firing pins. OH! I have some "special devices"... Trip flare-type devices that house a shotgun shell. Pull the wire, trip the device, KABLAM! You need to find those... I'm just sayin'. THere are 8 of them. Aluminum housings, black knob on the bottom.

Sheeeeeit... If I was broadbillodin, I could do that at 500meters. I feel lucky to hit that at 50 yards, on irons. And I thought I had it dialed... On a side note - that MagPul offset rear sight... that windage adjustment knob on that thing is a motherfucker to twist. I'm not kidding. That thing is TIGHT. After ripping up my finger, and almost giving up, it moved ONE CLICK. After that ONE CLICK, I felt confident, and muscled through it to make it's adjustments. I almost grabbed pliers to get this shiit done. No joke. I'd tell anyone else to skip the bullshiit, and use pliers. It's that stiff of an adjustment. Fuk that thing.

Don't miss out on the final round of the day, just to test scoped zero - It's in the target pic above. I aimed for the brainpan. I think I got it.

Only got 50 yards today, but the sights are ON for 50 yards. ON. The irons are right there, and staying right there, and I'm happy with them. Not going to zero the irons for further than that, based on the point-blank zero for this cartridge. 50 yards on a zero give me out to 280 yards, point-blank on fat pig vitals, and I'm keeping it. I WISH I had the time to get the magnified optic to 100 yards, but that shiit just wasn't happening today - I'll take it for what it is. Pics below show the scoped target as the bottom target - with the first round shown in the vid above - the very first round out of the rifle - and the ending zero round. Upper target is the irons-zero target, with first round / ending zero round.

I should have taken that advice, because it was passed to me BEFOREHAND... Yet, I remain a dumbass. I risked it. Fuk me, I should have listened... You still get the guns. Dirk MAY have an argument, and it's valid - but he lives on Commie-Fornia. You win, brother.

Range junk, left behind? I'm not understanding your analogy here...

You can HAVE mine, brother, and she fits that description - shiit, she's been spying on what I do here, so she might actually read this. She's like that - itty bitties, nice ass, blond. FUCKIN' CRAZY!... Full-on Batshit. You can HAVE her. Fuk, I'll PAY you to take her. Get her out of my hair/life... The more you keep her away, the more money in it for ya... I'll buy you another damn suppressor...

You got worked over tonight, brother. I'd say that's some Karma for the tractor-porn shiit you been heapin' on Shepp...

THe answer is either "not enough" or "the wrong ones!"

Holy FUK!!! WHat did I DO here?!!?
