I knew that's what you meant, brother - you meant what you said, and said what you meant. He just had to question you. I almost replied to him with his question, but felt I'd leave it alone...

This is just the bolt? DWilson bolt, in another carrier? What carrier (I probably missed that bit of info...)? My BCG from him just ate up everything I threw at it last Sunday. Just didn't care what was in the chamber - Poof! Spit it out.

Yep, that's it - the Bravo. Locks up like the B5 SOPMOD - it's solid, brother.

I'm glad you replied - I didn't even feel like it. Thanks, brother.

Get into mrraleys thread again - piston vs. push rod - the warning he gave initially was for trolls and BS. He wanted input, short, sweet, and to the point. You dragged that thing into the ground with your opinion, over and over. And he predicted it. I'm surprised the whole thread is still up. Go read it. Again. Look at you, in that thread.

I support this message. 100% and then some.

That's straight bullshiit, right there - you did target a member here, in the thread title. You even ramble on about it in this post you made... GG, I hate to tell you this, but your representation thus far on this board is less than desired. Take a look at how you've been so far - really take a look at it. Look at yourself, and your posts. If you continue the path you're currently walking, you're in for a rude awakening.

Last count by Pat Rogers was 51,000 rounds. Updates, as Slip2000 gets them, are made. Breakages have been repaired, but the rifle hasn't been cleaned. Just lubed.

I see things not going so well, here. Maybe I'm clairvoyant, I don't know...

Is this the M110 build?

...and the temp outside would affect temp-sensitive powders.

That's not even an appetizer, for what I've got, man - not even close. There's a couple more in the stable over that. I posted about the brake in another topic - the info can be found there. Also, you're not looking at them anymore, unless you're checking the SLR Bargain Bin, and they're currently OOS - maybe forever OOS, I don't know. That brake was a blem clearance item. The mags in both those rifles are Lancer products.

You gave me some FINE barrels, Nathan - they really are damn nice barrels. I'll be back for more, for certain.

You know - she is still hiding some camo pics somewhere... I'm just sayin'...

Skip straight to 42.0 grains of RL15, then - start there. Stay in 42.0~42.5 for a few and see if the rifle likes it.

That rifle does shoot nice!

Anything 0.750" diameter, low profile. There are many out there that aren't too expensive. You don't need a new gas tube or gas tube roll pin - save the pin once you remove it. You will need a small hammer (Small!) and some roll pin punches - you can get the punches at Harbor Freight and they'll be cheap, and get this job done. You'll need to pick an Armalite AR-10 compatible handguard, too. If you can find one that uses the stock barrel nut, that's less work and less tools required. You'll need something to secure the upper receiver, some type of vise block. Some of the Armalite guys can get in here and make specific recommendations to you on those parts.

The question should probably go in this section, here - you'll get more bites. http://forum.308ar.com/forum/72-80-lowers/

Looks like the first 4 rounds - about 2200fps flat when it didn't knock the sunshade off - 30fps higher on the two rounds when the sunshade blew off - wondering if the concussion bouncing the sunshade off was the reason for the higher readings. Total deviation on the AE 185s?

Did you have yours painted in Cerakote Coyote Tan? Aero only provides receivers in Cerakote FDE, for a dirt color, from them. Cerakote also offers THREE different "Coyote Tan" colors - Benchmade CT, Troy CT, and Gen II CT - so you'll need to be specific in which one you're talking about...

Rene, what trigger was in this thing, brother?

Wait, wait, wait a minute here... I thought you were looking for MRS Big Rack, brother?...
