Depends on the torque setting you're going for, but basically, Yes, you can do that. I would definitely pad them, even aluminum angle will work, no bare vise jaws. When you're installing a barrel that way, the torque forces of clockwise rotation are working on the solid side of the upper receiver. You can't take a barrel off, in that manner - upper sandwiched in the vise jaws - because the counter-clockwise torque is acting on the weak side of the receiver - the bigass hole of the ejection port... You'll crack the upper receiver. Ask me how I know that tidbit of information...

Should be fine. I run regular .308 Win BCGs in my .260 Rem gas guns, so similar pressures and identical projectile - both those regular BCGs do just fine.

That's perfect for a 20" rifle gas 6.5, with the 0.875" journal. It'll run like a Swiss watch.

You won't have to worry about the gas port diameter on that barrel, not from BA. They have their shiit together, in a pretty tight bag.

Battle Arms Development has pivot and takedown pins that work perfectly, and come with the detents and springs. Their bolt catch also works with the M5s, but don't come with the detent and spring. Their BAD-ASS PRO 60* safety is the best on the market, comes with detent and spring. After that, you're complete, minus whatever trigger you desire, grip as well, and a bolt catch detent and spring, and whatever you want to run for a mag catch - any AR15 mag catch will work. Your bolt catch is threaded, and the allen bolt should be in the lower already. On your M5 upper, the forward assist is threaded, and the bolt will be in there.

Oh, no you didn't...

Pretty sure the M5 upper is DPMS Low profile... There are many better ways to do the lower parts kit, as well.

Nah, hell with them - just for Ron...

We might have to pull a Rescue Mission on his ass... I'm just sayin'...

I just fukkin KNOW that @Rsquared is coming up in this somehow...

Check it. See if you might have anything to do with it (affected by it)...

Bro, the Original Squatty Potty... They were on to something... This vid is 10 years old...

One more cut... Back...

Those Homies in the first vid were in this building right here... Look at the terrain, match up the water and slurry impacts from both vids. From the second vid, they didn't get smoked - which is the reason we have the first vid... Use the bridge across the river for spatial reference...

You guys seen any of this shiit coming out of Nepal?! Here's the exact same water-flow event, from two different angles. I've figured out what building the dudes in the first vid here were filming from, based on the second video. First vid: Second vid, from a WAY higher angle and higher ground...

Welcome aboard, man! If you're sitting on Aero M5 receivers, we can make everything else work. Not a problem. Fire off questions anytime you have them - someone will answer.

Let's try this. I need to order a few of those weird ingredients - somebody beat me to it..

Everything above is true. ^^^ Was just at the reloading supply shop this morning, and they had 5000-rd cases of Eley Match-something for $100 below cost. I haven't shot it, don't know if my gun would like it, and it's still a 5k-rd case... That's alot of $$$...

This is our future. And, these idiots can cast a vote that matters in the numbers-count at the end. It's disgusting...

I work on his rig, at my shop. And his wife's rig. He's great. She's unreal. I'll just leave that, at that.

I'll get back into this topic later, but I built a pretty good 10/22 gun to use in NRL-22 matches, and more specifically, the 22X matches - which are crazier than standard matches. My build definitely prefers the SK Long Range Rifle Match ammo. Just great. Because it ain't cheap, for .22LR. Just my luck. Shot it about 3 weeks ago in a match - NRL 22 X match - smoked the 248 yard targets, and good. I'll get more into the gun later in this thread. It's a tack-driver.

This will be a big one...

Yep, every single day...

Now, I don't want you to think that I'm talking about something I just read about... I'm just sayin'... These are the 14-rd baddies...

@Armed Eye Doc, check this out, brother... I'm not instigating or anything, but... 17 HMR mags, smoke, Black Dog Machine... Pick your capacity... https://www.blackdogmachinellc.net/ar15-22-magnum.aspx
