The reason I know that so well is because I did it on an AR15 build once. Once... <lmao> MOTHERFUCKINPIECEOFSHITBOLTCATCH, WHATTHEFUCKISGOINGONHERE!!!!!!!!! Oh... I see... <laughs> It's either THAT, or he broke the screw-pin holding it in, either by over-tightening, or dry-firing and the hammer slammed the bolt catch. Very few things will lead to that specific problem.

Here's the rifle so far. Blew a few nerves and got my blood pressure up on this one, thanks to our wonderful friends at USPS. Long story in that, but it'll be told. At any rate, this is where it's at right now, but not where it's staying. I'll get to the details below the pic... Bought the fully built lower and stripped upper receiver from Yoda, here. Worked out shipping details after a couple days, and he got it sent out to my FFL. Entered the USPS system the day after I sent him the money, and was to be delivered exactly a week later, according to the tracking number he sent. That night, it had already left his USPS facility. I checked on it daily, the the tracking info never updated - just left his facility. The afternoon it was supposed to be delivered, it still just said it left his facility... so I called USPS and started a case on it - the lady on the phone was sweet enough, but she just didn't know $hit. She had no info on where it was sent from, going to, sender, addressee, nothing. She couldn't find anything based on the tracking number. Now, this didn't have ANYTHING to do with Yoda - and I kept him updated on all of it. He did his part, and he did it quick - but USPS was completely effed up in all this. The lady I talked to said she'd keep me updated on the case, as it progressed, and that she'd call me in 48~72 hours. Well, I called her on a Thursday, so I knew damn well I wasn't getting a call on that Saturday or Sunday with any information... On Monday, I was just gathering my information to call them up - case #, tracking #, date I called her, what she told me, etc., - and she called. The only info she had was that they couldn't find ANY information on this package... She told me she'd call me Tuesday, but she didn't. I was busy at work, and by the time I thought about it, they were closed. Miraculously, on Wednesday morning, it showed as "delivered." ZERO scans along the way. It was scanned as it left Yoda, and it was scanned in when it hit my local PO. Nothing in between. I called my FFL and told him it was there, so he snatched it up. He called back and said the box was kinda beat up, and it had obviously been opened and resealed. I told him what was supposed to be in there, and he said it was all there, and didn't look like anything was wrong with any of it - relief! I broke outta work Thursday afternoon and picked it up. Thus endeth the Nightmarish USPS saga... Yoda built it with a black CTR stock and MOE grip, but I already had replacement parts here. Swapped on the B5 SOPMOD Bravo stock and MOE K2+ grip, both in FDE. Immediately installed a BADASS safety. I'd already ordered the Fortis 12" switch rail and Geissele Super gas Block, so they went on the barrel that I scored from Stain several months ago - Rainier Select 18" midlength gas. Left the standard trigger alone, for now, but it's getting replaced. Slapped on some Troy sights and stole the Millett DMS-1 scope off another rifle. It will eat from Lancer L7 AWM mags. ...I KNEW that damn barrel was gonna turn into something! <lmao> There will be some changes coming, but this is how it gets fired tomorrow morning. It's getting chopped, too... :banana: There's an issue with Aero's carbine receiver extension, and/or the buffer. Definitely an issue with the extension. I'll get details up later, when I can get pics of it all. I've solved it for right now, with $1.00 in quarters, but you guys need to watch your Aero receiver extensions, if you bought the carbine 308 version. I'll post more about it tomorrow, after I blast this thing.

I must say, Yoda is VERY SOLID to deal with. He parted out his rifle build, and I went for the completed lower half, and the stripped upper receiver. It took us a few days initially to work out the "how to send what where" and get my FFL info to him. In that short span, he had a local offer. I honestly told him it was okay to sell it local, there's less hassle that way, zero shipping to another state or FFL, and I completely understood - completely. He said it was mine, since I spoke up about it, and he had no issue sending it out. THAT by itself is as honorable and honest as it gets. I don't know too many people that would do that, but Yoda is a man of his word. Big kudos. <thumbsup> And, thank you, Frank! She get's shot in the morning! :hethan:

That's one for each daughter! HELL YEAH!!! Little Twin Gunslingers!!! :hethan:

i knew that was a small gas port... <lmao> That's good stuff, Nathan. <thumbsup>

Take out your trigger, and check your disconnector spring. There should be once last coil on it that's larger than the rest of the coils. That larger coil is what goes into the body of the trigger, and it kinda "snaps" into place. If you pull the disconnector spring, and there is no "larger coil," then don't worry too much - because the disconnector spring is under your bolt catch plunger, and the larger coil is jamming that thing up... <lmao>

Nathan, you're in Cincy, huh? Ohio native myself. At any rate, you DID say "anything," so... How do you feel about a pants-down hug? Welcome aboard, and I do look forward to that answer... <lmao>

Example: You buy this DPMS 308 oracle. You want a flip-up front sight for it. Your gas block is a different height than the flat-top upper. With the gas block at a different height than the flat-top upper, what do you do? Well, you buy any AR15 flip-up rear, and the MI front sight that I started this thread about...

Men, DSG Arms has 4 of these in stock, and on sale: Midwest Industries flip-up front sight that is designed to mount to the Picatinny Gas Block, which is AR-10 height. Should be all .308 AR Pic Gas Blocks, that are NOT designed to be same-plane (there are very, very few of those out there). DSGs regular price is $160 for this - they're clearancing them out at $55. https://dsgarms.com/mi-ar10-laffg Lesson 65b...

Damn, that looks nice - i love the color case hardened firearms, doesn't matter what they are. Turnbull has another one now - lever rifle. Damn is that thing nice.

Lost an uncle a couple months ago. USMC, Vietnam. This will be the first time we're remembering him, on Memorial Day. God Speed, Uncle Mike, you are missed. <thumbsup>

Yeah, our 3-Letter Agency is all over that $hit... <dontknow>

Hell yeah, brother!

I think a write-up/review is damn near mandatory on this one - you're the first dude here with one, that's for sure... :hethan:

I've had one of the GG&G HD XDS setups since early or mid 2010 - can't kill it. It was originally for a 20" precision 5.56 rig, but it got a "hole cut in the foam" in the LR308 guncase. It jumps from rifle to rifle, whenever it's necessary. Most versatile bipod I have - until I get the Holy Grail of Bipods, one day...

I'll be picking up one of these very, very shortly. Very high quality work, and product. <thumbsup>

I second the ADM setups. JTs is a pic rail, but I've got two of these for Harris bipods, and love them. http://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/view/product/15/

<laughs> <lmao>

HELLFUCKINGYES!!! :hethan:

You should be scared, especially if it's that pic of him in the Banana Hammock! :eek: <laughs>

Some California Prosecuting Attorney will fuk you up for that one, brother... <lmao> Finally transferred today, built shortly after:

DAMN! That looks so much like the one I have! I need to get some pics and compare, brother, seriously.

Had to fix that for ya, brother. <thumbsup>

"Welcome to Grab, Cockburn and Hurt! If WE can't fix YOUR PECKER, then NOBODY can!!!..." <lmao> They all need to seriously get in business with each other... It's DEFINITELY worth relocating to make that happen... <laughs>

^^^ I'm with him... <lmao> :happydrunks:
