You complicated $hit with complicated $hit. For no reason. No offense, man, in any way. You have too much going on with it. Shitcan the adjustable gas block, you don't need it. Start with a fixed gas block, non-adjustable, and reshoot the rifle, with all kinds of ammo. If it doesn't run on all kinds of ammo, switch the heavy buffer out for a standard one, and reshoot with all kinds of ammo... Are you ever going to run a suppressor on this rifle?...

That's it, right there. Doesn't require alot of tension to keep the takedown pin in place. This goes for AR15s, too, when doing the set-screw mod - if you cut long, you're better off. Chop, install, find out that your takedown pin is hard as hell to get moving - NO PROBLEM. Take it apart, and cut off another coil or two from the spring, and reinstall and retry. Get it to where you want it - there is no magic number or length. It really doesn't take alot of pressure to keep that pin in place.

Fcuk Yeah!

Purely a defensive weapon... It's so "defensive," that when it comes out, bad people run. They want none of it. :))

I'd like to add onto this part - a handgun isn't an "offensive" weapon. It's purely defensive, and only temporary, or secondary. It should never, ever be a "primary" weapon. Legalities aside, you should never be without a rifle. You can't carry a rifle everywhere you go, but you should carry a secondary weapon everywhere you go - a pistol. The only reason to have a pistol, is so you can fight your way to a rifle... Once you do that, they better have a bigger crowd... train, train, train. Every minute you're not training, you're losing proficiency.

I know I've posted this before, but it's worth posting again. “The Gun Is Civilization” by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it. In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some. When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender. There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a armed mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat–it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly. Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable. When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation… and that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act. By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.) So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced.

Yep, bring it. I open carry alot, I conceal alot. The circumstances determine which, as with the legalities. I'm armed, all the time, even in my house. If someone sees me as a target, because I've got a visible firearm, then come and get it from me. If you take take it, you can have it - it's yours. I know for a fact I can get two or three of you, without breaking a sweat. If you make me work for it, then you can have it. Bring a crowd, though. Brace yourself. That's not what open carry is about, at all. It's not "macho," in the least. It's about the education of the sheeple. They need to see it, to know it's legal, nd they need to see it and see you do NO HARM, in order to understand that it's not "bad." What the sheeple really need to see is the not-often occurance where someone armed legally, which isn't the routine, defeats someone armed, with ill intentions, and meaning to kill innocent people. Since it doesn't happen often, not many sheeple are "changed." The ones that were in a situation like that - with a legal armed civilian response - get it. From there on out, they get it. If everyone were openly armed, all the time, you'd see a PLUMMET in crime.

Yep, if it's just one bruise, it's "Assault." If it's more than one, it's "Assault consummated by a Battery." They didn't say it was 3 feet long, and they didn't say it was Double-Headed... None of this sticks to me... <dontknow> :fawkdance:

And HE knows! According to him, once it on your hands, it's on your di... Wait - what color did you tell me yours was, Ron?... :eek:

Google the RRA 2-Stage trigger, and you'll easily see why I suggested against it. There are no other triggers out there with that reputation. Well, unless you buy some bull$hit from Vulcan/Hesse/Blackthorne/Velocity Arms. The Machineguns Of The Special Forces...

I'll pull it tomorrow and post up here. Does it make a difference in accuracy? It won't. All it does it put preload in the rear lug of the upper, and keep the set from wiggling, if the set would wiggle. It just helps a solid lockup. Nothing more. It tensions the upper/lower fitment. If someone should hop in here and say it helps accuracy, I have to ask them "how would it do that?" It's not fitting the barrel to the receiver any different, not changing headspace, not affecting hammer lock time, not affecting how the BCG rides in the upper receiver, etc. It won't affect accuracy in any way, either good or bad. It just makes the receivers lock up tighter when pinned in place. Better tahn using an AccuWedge - which doesn't affect accuracy, either. Damn nice to see it in a factory set, though - WAY better than popping something open and finding an AccuWedge. Also better (IMHO) than a teflon-tipped tension screw through the lower...

OP, stay away from that trigger ^^^. You can spend a little more elsewhere, and you'll be far happier in the long run - especially if the RRA 2-stage that you get fails. FWIW.

Plenty - and I can walk right up to all of them, and nobody is the wiser. Well, as long as they don't ask to see my racket... <lmao> Thank you, brother. <thumbsup> I can see that you appreciate it, unlike these other uncouth bastards.. (wait 'til they look that one up...) :banana:

Nothing there is what he's looking for - 20" heavy barrel or bull barrel. Additionally, if you read through a barrel description, they all state: Yeah, fuk that.

No. Are you talking about recoil, and the rifle moving to the rear? Or are you talking about an unsecured charging handle that does it's own thing?...

Just HAD to bring it up. Just HAD to. Let it slip with the new guy... We haven't even had a chance to suggest anything yet, let alone justify the suggestion, and you already let it out... :ugone2far: Now, we're gonna have to work TWICE as hard. <laughs>

Right on!!! :hethan:

That's not an issue - that's why we have Scott... <lmao> <thumbsup> He better fuckin' make it this year... :bat:

I see a Happy Thanksgiving coming up! :hethan:

These little hookers, right here:

^^^ Yep, buy it. Or, send your carrier out to get ramped. There's a couple places that do this service. It's better for it over the long run to run a ramped carrier. Easier on hammer pins. Run KNS Anti-rotation pins, too, for the support to the hammer pin. Also, how do your magazines hold in the lower? Standard AR mag catch? If so, consider buying some surplus UZI mags and modifying them - I've posted the template somewhere on this board. I have 10 of them, marked them, cut them up, and they run great. Ramped carrier pics below.

...and I don't know WHAT the fuk Rob was talking about... <lmao>

You need a specific 9mm hammer to run a non-ramped carrier. You need a ramped carrier to run a standard hammer.

This is a big issue...

Take a side-shot pic of your hammer...
