Might be - we'll have to wait until he opens the box... :banana:

You have no idea how much I feel this pain... :bat: :stfu2: <lmao>

^^^ He's truly "partially terrified" of what I shipped out to him yesterday... <lmao>

I smell an accuracy test coming... <lmao>

That man is hard as woodpecker lips.

I like my Elf AR-15 Match trigger. Alot. <thumbsup> I've also never had a single issue with Gen 1 5.56 PMags. I have 30 of them, and they've been put to use over the years.

I liked how you phrased that... you just "dabble" in it... <thumbsup> <laughs> <lmao>

Nate, Eff it. You been paid... <thumbsup>

Nate, I'm in. I get paid on Friday, will order Friday night. <thumbsup> Damn good lookin' barrel. :happydrunks:

The same people that make extended pins for DPMS-based 308 rifles - the Armalite and DPMS pins are the same dimensions. As I said before - get me measurements of your pins, and I might be able to help you out.

<lmao> That's AWESOME!!! <laughs>

Tool, that was great! <thumbsup> :happydrunks:

But, you ar... Eh, I'll leave it alone... <lmao>

I used scopes for years, been around scopes for years - militarily. Never once did I see this brand of scope on any military rifle. Thus, the question. I've never not once seen one in military use. Anywhere. Now, is it that military members use this brand on their own rifles, outside of the military? Possibly. Wouldn't doubt it. However, there's no branch of the US military that uses these scopes, that I've ever seen.

Surgery complete! Got the Armalite 10B bolt stop down to 0.530" bottom to top, and she functions like a champ. The Aero bolt stop had that little angle on the lower outer edge, so I chopped the Armalite in a similar fashion - zero need to do that. I also shorted the end of the Armalite to match the length of the Aero - zero need to do that either. I should have checked the thing in the rifle for those areas, but I didn't. Would have saved me time. I did install it, but at 0.590" high, I couldn't even pull the bolt carrier back - it hit. It clears now at 0.530", that's for damn sure. Glad I did it. Pics coming up in a few. Also tossed in the Armalite AR10A-pattern magazine catch... Pics:

Really. Please expound.

Bob, there's only one thing wrong with what you're doing, as far as seeing if your BCG is in spec. There is no defined set of plans, or design specs, on a 308AR. Chances are, AIM is gonna come back to you and say, "It's perfect! We contacted the manufacturer, and what you gave us matches their design drawings exactly!"... That is one of the hazards in building a 308AR. There is no Technical Data Package to follow, no set specs.

The 10B catch is already in surgery, brother... <lmao>

I think the Armalite AR10A pattern bolt catch would be the more appropriate one to run in this rifle. I'll continue to fit the 10B bolt catch, but get the 10A bolt catch on order.

Yes, there is.

You just replied to a guy that has an issue with his DPMS G2 Recon, and your examples are of your 24" barreled rifle that also has an AP4 upper. You're comparing Apples to Hammers here. Your information doesn't help the guy with the G2 Recon. These are completely different rifles...

Very cool - but what happens when you have a target that's beyond 100 yards, and not sitting at 1,000 yards? Sounds like a cool scope for 1,000-yard benchrest shooters. <thumbsup> How does it do for the people that shoot between those ranges?

This is also another cool, easy way to break in your barrel: http://www.davidtubb.com/final-finish-loaded-ammo

Big fan of the Armalite AR10B bolt catch, in any .308AR. So, another one arrived today, to swap into the Aero build. Interesting differences between the two. Pic at the bottom. ***Armalite pin hole is 0.104”. Aero pin hole looks larger in the picture, but that’s the taper on the outer edges. The aero pin hole is 0.101”. The aero part is MIM – Metal Injection Molded. The Armalite 10B part is not MIM. ***Back of pin hole to the end of the stop: Armalite part is 0.875” Aero part is 0.860” ***Bottom to top, bolt stop area: Armalite part is 0.590” high. Aero part is 0.520” high. Might have some work to do here, shaving down the Armalite… ***Thickness of the back of the bolt stop – the part that catches the bolt face: Armalite part is 0.032” from base. Aero part is 0.024” from base. The Armalite stop will catch the bolt face farther back, by 0.008”. 8-thou. Can’t hurt… ***That angled corner need to be dealt with, from the Aero part to the Armalite part. Dremel will fix that quick. I’ll keep working from there... Armalite AR10B on the left, Aero on the right.

The best bang for the buck is buying a good trigger, and shitcanning the stock trigger. Really. The trigger isn't the place to get cheap, or fuk something up trying to work on it at home. It really isn't. My $0.02.
