    You'll make it here, brother. I have no doubt.
  2. I'd put that on Pinky... You fukkers are the ones that have to shoot that rifle anyway!...
  3. Dump the PSA stuff - they're not even making "DPMS LR308 patterned" parts to a "pattern." Any pattern. Again, there's some proprietary schit going on with their 308 stuff.
  4. With a range of 30lb/ft to 80 lb/ft on barrel nuts, it doesn't really matter if you run the adapter in-line or at a 90 degree angle to the wrench. Proper way to get the correct torque when using an adapter or crow's foot, is to run it 90 degrees to the wrench...

    I'm in. Matt's in. You other fukkers show if if you ain't too skeered...
  6. That PA 1-8 is next, or next-next, on my list. The PA 4-14 308 HUD DMR is just straight badass.
  7. Industry pro predicts trouble for guns no matter who wins election http://www.guns.com/2016/10/17/industry-pro-predicts-trouble-for-guns-no-matter-who-wins-election/ 10/17/16 | Opinion by Eve Flanigan On the opening night of recent gun writers’ conference in Orlando, Jason Wilson, founder and CEO of Wyoming-based Lucid Optics, made a statement that would be brought up in quiet, side discussions for the duration of the event. “No matter who wins, it will cost the industry,” said Wilson, whose once-small business now has distributors in 14 countries. He might be onto something. Wilson isn’t shy about saying that some components of his products are made overseas. Processes like lens coating, he says, aren’t even available in the States. And, according to Wilson, China is the only place in the world making batteries. Wilson is emphatic that many companies claim to sell US-made goods, but closer examination can prove that many aren’t being completely truthful. Maybe it’s because 2016 was the year I became friends with a Chinese American family that has several successful gun-related ventures, or maybe it’s because I’ve started to look and think closely at some of my own favorite gear and realize quite a lot of it is foreign-made, in many cases because I choose not to spend more than necessary on a piece of kit. Maybe it’s having looked at a clothing designers’ blog and discovered many complaints about how hard it is to begin a business relationship with a domestic manufacturer, while Vietnamese and Chinese vendors are offering concierge-like services to even small-volume startups. Whatever the reason, I’ll admit that I’ve come to see the hypocrisy in my own and others’ recommendations to buy American. If we were really that interested in acting on our purchasing ideals, after all, a number of big-name tactical goods suppliers might not even exist. Instead, they’re our basket of adorables. Wilson’s statement isn’t so much surprising as it is sobering, assuming he’s right. Gun owners already expect a massive fight to prevent new forms of legislative control. Many are resigned to rebellion or lawlessness if restriction creep by legislation or abuse of executive orders continues. In conversation, those conditions are usually followed by the phrase “if Clinton is elected.” But is a Trump election really that much rosier? Wilson has run some numbers based on Trump’s promised import tariffs. As I understand it, he expects to lose nearly half a million per year under Trump. Yes, it may bring some aspects of Lucid production to Wyoming from overseas, but at a cost. Trump has clearly promised import tariffs, but has been less vocal on other business-affecting issues like the minimum wage floor, and other regulations on labor and environment. I used to enthusiastically carry my e-waste to the annual recycling event until seeing a video of Chinese children, many with scars from work-related burns, walking through an acid sea of discarded electronics to harvest nickel. While I still feel more responsible for my own corner of the world than theirs, the image is a reminder that there is no zero-sum equation. Are gun owners ready to pay more, possibly a lot more, for the same products that don’t seem so cheap, even now? Will Second Amendment supporters be so enthusiastic about not allowing the takeover of a right by a government that can’t possibly guarantee personal safety, in a world where national security must be won, repeatedly, by battles large and small? I sure hope so.

  9. Pics of these parts are gonna help - then we can really see what we're working with. Especially that DPMS rifle length buffer. Parts being what they are, you'll be better off in the long run with an Aero upper, than a PSA lower. There's some proprietary schit going on with PSAs 308AR...
  10. ^^^ That description is the ticket.
  11. She's cheatin' on me!!!
  12. Right on, HotRod. Glad she's running.
  13. I was glad to see this news this morning. It means the law worked. This time, anyway. Bushmaster was sued, and payed, because they made the rifle that the DC Sniper used. Bull's Eye Shooter Supply in Tacoma, WA paid out for that one, too - because they sold the firearm used. Bull's Eye had more issues than that, though... Not long after those settlements, the law referenced in that article was passed...
  14. That's gonna take awhile. AWHILE!!!... Oh, hell yes!
  15. http://www.ontargetshooting.com/ Don't know if that will work on your smartphone, but that's the program most commonly used.
  16. That thing came out great!
  17. If it was chambered hard, it is now!...
  18. Ladies, and Gentlemen, I bring you Project Titan.
  19. I welcome you with opens arms, my brother!!! And, pants-down hugs!!!
  20. I'd run the jam nut and be done.
  21. That's the one thing I can think of that will make a No Go gauge close on a good barrel... only reason I asked...
  22. Same here. Mine is fukkin' psycho. For real.
  23. Benchmark and H335 should do very well with the light projos. Some IMR 3031 as well.
  24. I think you're on to something there. Same bullet (120, lighter charge by two full grains will lock it back. In theory, with a charge two full grains higher, you should be producing quite a bit more power, speed, and gas pressure. The rifle should cycle even harder, have more felt recoil, and lock-back on last round should be easy like that. But, it's not. Because that extra two full grains of pressure isn't getting there, through a small gas port that won't allow it. Instead, the bullet is gone from the barrel, and pressures drop. Pull the gas block and measure that gas port. I don't know schit about .260 Rem gas port sizes, but I'm curious to see what it is anyway.
