We appreciate Josh. <thumbsup>

I think he means that, Ed. He's kinda tall, pale, reddish hair... He's rather "Nordic" in appearance. I think he's probably a Viking, or something. I wouldn't fuk with a Viking. I'm just sayin'... <dontknow>

I might rub lotion on his leathery skin, to loosen him up, but I'm not touching his sore pecker... I don't care HOW leathery it is... :fawkdance: I'll work with a brother, to a certain extent, but... :banana:

It's certainly "total control," alright. Sounds like a contract to someone in order to make money - just like the way alot of things go in California... Just my observation. They're calling it an "advanced" course. I'd like to see how it stacks up against MSF BRC, followed by MSF ARC - the MSF Advanced Rider Course... http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/oped/total-control-training-california-contract-for-california-motorcycle-training-class-msf/

Which one of those can you buy from the factory? Nissan is selling 1,350hp GTRs at a dealership now?... Crickets... :))

Pretty damn nice - it'll be a whole rifle as soon as I skip out of work tomorrow afternoon and hit up the local pusher... Pics inbound tomorrow evening. :banana:

I'm his backup. Level 1 and 2 Combat Tracker, here. >:D :hethan:

Damn near 200mph IN A HALF MILE! :eek: That's fuckin CRAZY!

The examples of the things in this thread are the very reason I stay away from all that VLTOR A-whatever mumbo-jumbo bull$hit in the first place. the VLTOR A-whatever system was specifically developed for the USMC, and their 20"-barreled M-16, so they could have a collapsible stock on it - and still have the thing function like it had the A1 extension and a rifle buffer in it.

Not if you build your .308 AR right. The big thing comes into whether or not you're building a DPMS-patterned rifle. If you are, you need to pay attention to the upper receiver height - high versus low, and I'm not talking about that crazy Hi-Rider monstrosity. DPMS changed the height of the upper receiver rail height several years ago - we have a pinned topic on that, so research it, if you're building one. The aftermarket followed, and many rail manufacturers make rails for both heights. Now, would that Eff up your sights? No. There's enough elevation adjustment in a front iron sight to account for the difference. Just watch your build, if you use DPMS-based stuff.

EXCELLENT way to turn that around on her!!! <lmao>

Yep.

He'll be out of surgery quick, and directly fishing after that. Wait for the pics... <lmao>

You'll like them. I run many of them on variable mag optics. <thumbsup>

That's the thumb, not a fukkin' toe, you wiseasses. Both thumbs have been broken numerous times, and they dislocate easliy. It's quite handy for throat-punching some a$shole with a thumb jab, and not having to worry if it's gonna break. Just do it, reset it, drive on. :eek: <thumbsup> The gurgles are awesome, afterwards... :banana: What "clamp?" The Fortis Switch rail in the pics? There's no such rail in the pics, Mike... Don't know what you're looking at... <dontknow>

Damn nice looking rifle, guys - fantastic job. :hail:

Buy what, brother? There's lot of "that" in the pics... <lmao>

This is to assist with gas block alignment and spacing. How often have you worried whether your gas block is centered over the gas port in the barrel - is it off the shoulder? How much is it supposed to be off the shoulder? Did I get it right, or do I have to shoot it and find out, then take the damn thing apart again?... Don't worry about it, basically. For the most part, the port in the block is larger than the gas port in the barrel. Mostly. However, if you really want to check it all out, it's very, very simple to do, when you're using a set-screw type gas block. This info won't help for clamp-on blocks, but you can measure for that and confirm. That info comes later. Now, for the set-screw blocks... Here's the hardware for the example: Rainier Select 18" mid-gas .308 barrel, Geissele Super Gas Block. As you can see, the Rainier barrel is already dimpled, for use with a set-screw block. Not all barrels are dimpled, but that is an easy process to make happen. Next time I get a non-dimpled barrel, I'll go through it. Now, gas block manufacturers all do this same thing - on the set-screw blocks, they drill for the set screw locations, and the rearward set screw hole continues straight through, and becomes the gas port in the block. No kidding, check that out next time you get a new block. It's non-complicated machining. Here's a look THROUGH that rearward set screw hole, and you can see the gas port in the block: To exaggerate it, here's a punch, right down through: Easiest way to see how far you have to set that gas block off the shoulder, is to slide it on the barrel they way you'd install it - then flip the block 180 degrees. You'll turn the block upside down. You should be able to look THROUGH that rearward set screw hole, and center it on your gas port in the barrel. Center the block over the gas port in the barrel, and check the distance from the shoulder that it is right then. That's how far off the shoulder you'd need to mount it, to have everything centered up. Pretty simple process. ^^^ As you can see in that pic, the Geissele Super Gas Block will mount flush against the barrel shoulder on this Rainier barrel, and it will be centered. Here it is again, side view: Hope that helps somebody, somewhere, sometime. Have fun, check your $hit, build more rifles. <thumbsup>

The Sprinco Orange is an extra power .308 spring designed for a 7" tube. The Armalite spring is designed for a 7 5/8" tube.

The pin holes in the barrel will be off be exactly the thickness of the handguard cap. Someone around here knows the standard thickness measurement. It ain't inches, but it's in thousandths.

I'm crying over here... <lmao> Jake is, too... <laughs> I can SEE the boy doing that!... :banana:

^^^... says Micro... <lmao>

A whole bunch of people shot this suppressor today. Hit this guy's videos - it's hard to hear what they say, because of the wind noise. https://www.youtube.com/user/defrev/videos

$hitty post, if you really look at it closely.

RCBS equipment. I vary the die sets, based on who I think makes the best die set for a particular caliber.
