Those are the details that you need to give us, on your current configuration... Tell me how long your buffer tube is, internal length. Tell me how long your buffer is, and how much it weighs. Tell me how long your buffer spring is, and how many coils it has. Help me, help you...

I think I responded to this in another thread - hit your other thread. Copy your OTHER post into this thread, man. Just quote yourself, on that one, and paste it here... That'll help alot...

Thanks for your post in the intro section, so we know about you, and what you're looking for...

This all falls back to DPMS - and you calling them for information. Furthermore, relaying that information to us, if you wish. I don't know why I'm getting that strange feeling that you're asking us this, like we owe you something?... Like we're to blame here?...

I seriously think you need to call DPMS on this. Report your findings, and then we'll all know what gives.

Thanks for the info - your username was jcw556, so I had to question what you were looking for...

You didn't state 5.56 or .308 Win - what are you looking for? Here's the 5.56 version - backordered. You'll have to call Midway to find out what is going on... http://www.midwayusa.com/product/493749/dpms-ar-15-3g1-a3-upper-receiver-assembly-556x45mm-nato-18-barrel I think you need to call DPMS, since it's been available for two years. Phone:1-800-578-3767

Why are you having a hard time finding one then?... You say it's been out for two years, but you can't find one. That's a search-engine issue, and not a 308AR.com issue, I'm thinking. Why can't you find a rifle that's been out for two years?...

That's a 3-gun rifle - specific. They just announced it. Be patient.

Sorry, Mike - God Speed to him.

Need more information than that. What upper and lower receiver? Sounds like you're not getting the back of the bolt carrier to push the buffer OFF the retainer, when the upper is closed on the lower. It should do that... You'll probably see that the edges of your buffer are getting chewed up, too. Look at your buffer, and post pics of it. EDIT - this should have been it's own thread - a new topic. It's buried in a topic, as it is...

Keep in mind - I'm not demanding information from you - you don't "owe" me an answer. But your statement that the Tubb CWS does nothing for the recoil impulse is why I posed the question that I did - when it directly impacts/affects the recoil impulse. It definitely does affect the recoil impulse. Reply, don't reply, either way is good with me, but the board could benefit from your honest answer.

Welcome aboard - make sure you hit the reloading section: http://forum.308ar.com/forum/34-reloading/

Try some standard processing on Federal M193 ammo, and see if you can seat primers without some serious work. Removing the crimp is tough to do, and really takes some work. When that junk is mixed in with other manufacturers brass, and you just ran through it in a standard manner, you'll waste alot of primers. Other choice - sort and segregate all your range brass, and sort the Federal M193 right out - then start processing brass. Know ahead of time that you'll need to work on the Federal primer pockets before you start wasting primers. It's odd that you can process alot of NATO 5.56 brass and not have to dig into the primer pocket too bad - and you rarely pinch the hell out of a primer. Until you get to the Federal stuff.

That still didn't answer my question, Ben...

On the day you got that video, it would have been very beneficial to shoot the gasport wide open, and again 3/4 closed, and compared those results. Instead, your comparing data from different shooting days, and those days have different weather data. I'm not sure you understood what he's saying - he's not saying that sound is the theory... he's telling you that your theory of closing the gasport seems solid...

That one already comes with the threaded barrel, rotary magazine... Sweet! I'd say, toss the Nikon P-300 scope on it, an AAC Brakeout, and you're done, man! Damn, what an awesome combination!!! You'll be doing this before too long... Hell yeah!...

They both suck to clean - but they're fun as hell to shoot!!!

M82 or M107, brother?

The Tubb CWS does change the recoil impulse - you need to look at it again, because if you didn't notice it, there's something going on. What was the configuration? Body only, steel insert, tungsten insert, you didn't check or didn't know?... It makes a difference in the recoil impulse...

You will LOVE this then!!! When he was filming this, some local motherfucker threw a rock at him...

[ Post full pics of it at that weight...

You make my heard hurt, Jon... You bastard...

I could talk about he new Indians for hours. Been hip deep in them since Polaris reintroduced them as 2014 models. Yes, they are owned by Polaris. The Indians made in the late '90s and early 2000s don't have anything at all to do with the newest ones. That was Harley Davidson, you knucklehead (engine-design pun intended). The same people that made soccer balls and badminton equipment made Harleys...

The Tubb CWS makes a difference - I've posted an entire thread on it before, both .308 and 5.56.
