Yep. "The Rule."

400-rd is a good day - nothing bad about that, at all. I'd like to hear more about this stuff, too...

Pmag LR20s, Lancer L7s, and DPMS 19-rounders run well through mine.

Justin (CNC Guns) stopped offering the 80% AR45 lowers a couple years ago. He only does the 100% lowers now, annodized. He did drop the price on them, though, and I think the price is still down. Used to cost about $417 to get a finished one shipped to you, now it's $293 shipped (if his price is still down). True, GG mags won't run in a standard lower, without some good modifications - they're too wide.

Shot the new-version DPMS 19-rounder through my AP 308 - functioned fine. For "new version" versus the older stuff, you shouldn't have too much to worry about, for ordering - several years ago, the DPMS mags wouldn't run unless you performed surgery on the feed lips. Not a concern, now, if you're buying new. Watch out if you're looking for bargains on old, used ones.

First, you need to search "The Rule." You'll understand once you find enough info about it. You were danger close to buying this trigger just now, but someone here ordered one in the not-too-distant past. Come to think of it - we haven't heard that review yet...

Towards the beginning of the video, during the intro, Hickock says the barrel on this one is just over 18". The Trapper has a barrel that's 16.25" long. It also holds 5 in the tube. The Guide Guns have an 18.5" barrel and hold 6 in the tube. Badass 45-70, right there. <thumbsup>

^^^ Itchy trigger finger... <lmao>

Those two that I posted are 5.56 barrels, man - just listed them for an example of the weight, and the .308 barrels will be heavier than those weights listed. <thumbsup>

The spring that came with the Slash buffer would have been the Armalite EA1095. That's the one you need. <thumbsup>

This "not the newest guy" is working out alright, already... <lmao> Post a pic of your upper receiver, man - you have that giant-high DPMS bastard?

Thread started 4 years 5.5 months ago... <thumbsup>

Airhorn. Small marine airhorn. Works everytime.

AR45. Ran it for years on the Oly special mag through a standard lower, but didn't like the capacity - the Oly mag is single stack. Just switch over - finally - to the CNC Guns dedicated lower and Grease Gun mags. Blowback operated - not gas. Runs like a champ.

Nah, I'm asking for a weird barrel, that's for sure. .338 Fed, 1:10 twist, 14.5" long, AR15 midlength gas system, medium-weight contour, but 0.750" at the gas block. It doesn't get much weirder than that one... <lmao> I don't mind the wait at all - the other quote was up to 12 weeks. When I cancelled, it wasn't even started yet. I HOPE it takes 8 weeks, from next week - I need time to get all the other parts together. Right now, I only have stripped upper, stripped lower, and a rail... <laughs>

^^^ YUP!!! Exactly what I was going to link in here, for the BCG. I cancelled my barrel order for the .338 Fed barrel, for where I was going to get it from. I wasn't super-excited about the manufacture of it. i called Dustin at X-Caliber today, and went through the details of what I wanted - he said no problem. I'd have a wait of 6~8 weeks on it. I asked if I could send a bolt to be headspaced to the barrel build, and again, no problem. Next week I'll pick up a DWilsonMfg complete BCG, and sent the stripped bolt out to X-Caliber.

Domination. Straightup domination. :hethan:

I think you have to be Rob-Ron, now. Welcome aboard, fellow AZ'er! <thumbsup>

THAT doesn't happen often - great score!

I'm thinking the rifle doesn't like the MagTech 150gr stuff.

I've got two 20" Heavy 5.56 barrels - and they is heavy. The YHM is 4140 and comes in at 3.33 lbs. The RRA is stainless and weighs the same-ish. Walking around with a 20" 5.56 rifle is a PITA - I don't want to do it with a .308 AR. If I have to hump a .308 like that, I'd rather carry a damn M60.

Just the 20" heavy barrel is 5lbs. Not gonna be a light one when it's done, that's for sure.

Okay, that complicates it - you do need the complicated $hit on this one... my bad... <lmao> You'll need the adjustable gas and the heavy buffer for the suppressor. Try another 150gr setup over the MagTech stuff. See if it runs on something different, but of equal weight. Did you get Slash's spring with his buffer, or is it a DPMS .308 spring?

The Dutch AR10 above? The charging handle is inside the carry handle...

Get the scope as low as possible to the barrel bore centerline, and don't worry about the front sight post - if that's your concern. At 2 or 3x magnification, you won't even see the front sight post anyway - the scope is already focused way beyond that thing. Won't appear in your vision, at all.
