BADASS is 2-position - safe and fire. BAD-CASS is a 3-position switch, which includes ROCK-N-ROLL!!! You don't need the CASS version. Unless you're holding out on us with some parts and information...

Sweet, brother!

It's not really "Peoria" when you search out populated Peoria. Schit, Thunderbird and 101 is populated Peoria. This is more towards the lake, north... It's outta town, that's for sure... There's a badass burger joint off Lake Pleasant Parkway, right across the street from the entrance to this place.

Welcome aboard.

^^^ Again, 300BLK, 16" barrel, carbine-gas... we need to be around a hundred on the port size. 90 from some manufacturers just won't cut it. We need this pinned in this section.

I know that I've remembered, for some reason, that we had to be around "100" on the 16" carbine-gas configs - 0.100" gas port diameter. I know I'm not completely crazy now...

We, collectively, have been down this road before, especially on the 16" 300BLK barrels. This article sums it up nicely, and it's a very worthy read. junk link - micromoa dot com, then 300-blk-port-size-testing <edited here to drop this link, site has been compromised>

Savage referenced in the first post...

Upper looks like the DD 308 rifle, kinda...

Know the best thing about 300BLK, Snake? 110-grain supersonic through 220-grain suppressed, all from the same rifle. Check it...

Gonna be good!!!

If it's the first Saturday of the month, then it's this coming Saturday, 7 Jan. I work until 3pm on Saturdays, so I don't think I'll be able to check it out, on this much of a short notice - especially after busting out of work last week, for most of a week. If anyone local can check it out, lemme know. It's off Hwy 74 towards the lake. West on 74 off the I-17. This does NOT appear to be the Ben Avery facility.

Found the build thread on it:

That looks alot like my Woody 5.56 NM build. I purchased my furniture from Precision Firearms, but I'm not sure if they are making it anymore - you should definitely contact them to find out. http://www.precisionfirearms.com/ Here's a link to a thread on the topic: Here are more potential sources, if you can find the source of the pics: http://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2016/02/03/pictures-great-looking-wooden-furniture-ars/ Freefloating it will be coming up soon - I've had an Armalite NM freefloat tube for several years, and the details of machining out the wood handguards to fit it will be happening sometime this year.

Haven't seen either gen from them in person - only way to find out is either contact them, or start scouring pics on the 'net. Don't trust everything you see on the 'net, though - someone might say they have a "Gen 2" because the guy that sold it to them told them that's what it was...

DPete is awesome for brass - great to do business with.

Battle Arms stated that for liability reasons. They put a "lawyer pin" in the body of the selector, so it won't fit in a lower that doesn't have a notch to clear the pin - BECAUSE... the markings wouldn't line up... Some people might not know, on the 45-degree selector, if it's pointed at FIRE, or SAFE... Buy the BADASS 45, grind off the lawyer pin, and have at it.

That's great CS, right there.

I've been very happy with Criterion barrels, and the two Faxon barrels I have are top notch as well. Can't go wrong with either. Wilson Combat is on a short list, and one of their match barrels will find a home on one of my builds very soon.

With the serial number...

I think I fixed the link... That link is hosed.

I'm in.

YES!!!

I think you'll get THIS...

Still running the "rubberized" Multi-Flex version of the Butler Creek covers. They do pretty well. There's a specific model line for them. I know you can tell the rear cover from the older plastic style by the color of the flip lever. Plastic version is a red lever, the newest "rubberized" Multi-Flex version is a yellow lever. I don't know how to tell the fronts apart, except by model line number...
