Feerel Idiot. That's what we saw...

Microstamping was the start. This SmartGun $hit won't go anywhere - at least not anytime soon. Hopefully, not in my lifetime. By the time I'm gone, I should have enough to pass down to the generations.

I can't access my personal messenger. Either.

Hell no. You'll all wind up in a group pic in pink tanktops... I'm warning you now. You guys better conduct a background check on Ed before he leaves his residence... :bat:

I'm well aware of that. Long-time Varget loader - when I could find it, in the not-too-distant past. 44.0 is the max listed in the Hornady 9th edition, running that 168 at 2600fps, and that data is for 165 and 168s. I run 44.0 Varget under Hornady 150gr FMJBTs, and it's pushing the edge of flattening primers.

Who were you addressing that comment to?...

He did that already, brother. See below. I'm with Mack on this - different caliber might have something to do with it. More detail on the barrels is necessary here. Like, post direct links to the barrels purchased, from the dealers websites - not pics of the barrels. Manufacturers links, when I would go to add them to my cart...

Very valid point. :happydrunks:

Those 20-yo primers held their own! Something happened in the two groups above, though. Something else is different. You gained over 100fps, but nothing else is different in the load data... Those Nosler Match projos are beating the Hornady AMAX projos - same fps but a full grain lower in charge weight. You have to up the charge on the AMAX to gain the speed, but the ES and SD grow with the AMAX... Very interesting...

I do what I can. :)) <thumbsup>

There's no middle eastern country that's gonna drop the money on a damn Colt 7.62x39, when they can just have an AK variant for a metric $hit-ton cheaper. Think about it. They won't even be "taking a good look at it." Oh, GRA, go read the ITAR. It's a hot topic right now, so I thought you would have read up on it already, but it's obvious that you haven't.

^^^ Am I going to get in trouble for that post, when The King signs some new POS Executive Order into effect, and I find out I retroactively violated the ITAR?... :thefinger:

Troy rear sight on my CASV. Perfect. From the rear of the CASV top rail, back to the center of the screw, it will have to be 0.300" or shorter. If it's longer than 0.300", it's not going to mount in the last (furthest back) pic rail slot on the upper receiver, and still clear the back of the CASV rail. You can cut approximately 0.250" off the back of the CASV rail, and make a longer sight fit, though.

My Armalite Tech Note 68 link in the first post isn't working anymore. I've attached it, below, as a PDF document. Tech Notes_2015_Tech Note 68, Tuning the ArmaLite Tactical Two Stage Trigger.pdf

Just do a google search on that trigger, and you find many, many stories on the failures of it. Like Stain said, spend a few more bucks on the Geissele G2S. If you REALLY want to spend the least amount of money possible on a quality 2-stage trigger, just get the Armalite 2-Stage National Match trigger. Armalite has two different 2-stage trigger, but only one National Match version - go for that one. I can vouch for it, I have one, and it's in the 16" 300BLK rifle. I'll never replace it or get rid of it. It's a damn good 2-stage trigger.

You guys better go get this DVD set, and watch it. I'm just sayin'. It'll set you back less than a 20-rd box of quality .308 Win.

Ed, I'll take two XL shirts in FDE when you get them done. Lemme know. <thumbsup>

Barrel swap. Went with the Faxon 16" medium taper, midlength gas, 1:10 twist in .308 Win. Very, very nice barrel. <thumbsup>

16" .308 barrel came in today, Nathan - VERY IMPRESSIVE! I like it alot. Damn nice barrel, and fine work. I picked up your gas block, and grabbed the gas tube, too, just so everything would get here in the same box, and I wouldn't have to strip any parts off the other barrel. Did a quick check of the gas block - gas block perfectly centered over the barrel gas port, with the block against the barrel shoulder. Gas port diameter is 0.080", midlength gas system. Very nice work, Nathan, very nice. <thumbsup>

Yep. You went East, the turned around and went West. Shoulda kept going East... <lmao>

^^^ On that note, I think Kawi is single-sourcing the whole upgrade, too. Kawi makes the bike (Concours), and one other company handles the cop-transformation.

^^^ I been trying for 10 years to get Ray to meet me in the dunes at T-Day... 10 YEARS.

Coriolis effect got you...

For those that don't know - this was a 6-hour miniseries. It'll wipe out a whole day off, once you start watching it. Watching it reminded me of the Straight8 Photography work that was done for POF...

Game on... <lmao>
