Tool charges 5 bucks for that rear-oil-hole mod, shipped. However, you have to send him videos of you shooting it... <lmao>

We get along fine, until those Michigan bastards start making wiseass comments... :fawkdance: :banana: It's those pompous canadian professional gunsmiters that are the real a$sholes, though... :))

If you can outshoot a LaRue, you are a badass... :hail:

Amazing, courageous, incredible person. Thank you for posting that, brother. <thumbsup>

Turbocharged a Polaris Slingshot. @8psi it's putting down 264hp, 265lb/ft of torque, and it weighs 1,700lbs. It's a rocketship. Can't keep the rear tire hooked up. Off-idle runs, 4th gear from 1400rpm and mash... once you get to 2,200rpm, you were over 200lb/ft. Almost finished with the 2nd one, and we're running that one out. No cutting it short. Numbers will be different. <thumbsup>

I'd like to see him install the AR-10 barrel nut on a LR308 upper receiver... <thumbsup>

15~20lb/ft is the number for 5.56 service rifles. There is no spec for .308AR rifles - not anything that would be common across all brands.

He's just a complete fucking idiot, and a troll. However, he claims he was a professional gunsmiter, and people paid him for his services. I think he's a joke. He keeps proving it more everytime he posts something idiotic. Hey Laz, you like those names? You cast that stone, moron, so now you can have some of it back, you fucking embarrassment. <thumbsup>

The .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO do have some big differences in operation, despite the outside case dimensions. Externally, cool, they're twins. Internally, the NATO cases are composed of thicker walls and base, and that reduces case capacity. You should be VERY cautious reloading these, and verify your load data. If you're thinking about loading something that's close to a maximum charge, or if it's a compressed charge, you better verify that you're not looking at .223 Rem load data, and stuffing that in a 5.56 NATO case - you WILL have one VERY hot load on your hands. Or, in your face... Chambers are different between .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO. In a nutshell, the 5.56 chamber has a longer leade - this will also contribute to increased and decreased chamber pressures, between the two chambers. Spike some hot 5.56 NATO ammo that you loaded with .223 Rem data (mistakenly) into a .223 Rem-chambered rifle, and you run the possibility of pulling that trigger ONE more time... Then, we have the .223 Wylde chamber - a hybrid match chamber that's a combination of the .223 Rem numbers and the 5.56 NATO numbers. That chamber shoots everything safely, and well. That's the reason for it's design.

I love that stuff - sitting on 2lbs of it right now, until I use it to work up some Hornady 75gr loads with it in 5.56 LC brass. <thumbsup>

^^^ Okay... Bad link...

We've had extensive conversations about this, with tons of information pinned on the topic. Bottom line is this: If you're running an old surplus rifle chambered for 7.62x51, then don't run .308 Win ammo through it, because of the supposed pressure differences (two different methods of measurement were used to come up with the max pressures). So, old surplus rifle = no .308 Win ammo. Modern rifles really don't matter. Really. In a modern rifle, it doesn't matter how the barrel is stamped. Run what you have, for ammo, be it old surplus (verify the source), or commercial off the shelf stuff in 308...

Not worth the wait, when you can pick it up from Rainier Arms, in stock.

Forgot to mention this - picked up the Primary Arms mini red dot with the fixed base, and mounted it up. When I mounted it, I confirmed (as I suspected) that you would have a very hard time running the iron sights with this mounted. It wouldn't be impossible, but you really have to focus to pick them up at the very bottom of the red dot sight window. It can be done, but it won't be quick - will have to be deliberate. Shot it last Sunday. I had some high hopes that I'd get it zero'd at 100, but that didn't happen. It took alot of elevation adjustment to bring it down, so I started at 50. I had a hard time at 50, so I moved up and started again at 25, slinged-up and shouldered. Once I got it at 25, I moved back to 50, and got it dead-on. By that time, there were 20 rounds down the pipe, and I was ready to pack that fucker up for the day. My buddy shot it - twice. He was done after two. He was really done after one, but there was no way I was letting that go... <lmao> So, with 22 rounds through it, the sight isn't dead yet. I'll keep shooting it and try to see if the recoil kills this sight. Maybe next Sunday, I'll get it dialed in at 100. <thumbsup>

And thankfully, you're close, so you can verify the Marlins before I buy them. <thumbsup> :happydrunks:

That's a very, very inaccurate statement. .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO are not the same, and there are vast pressure differences between the two, with the 5.56 NATO having the higher pressure. You run enough 5.56 through a .223 Rem chamber, and you're eventually going to have a very big problem on your hands - if you have hands left. OP, have one built, build it yourself, either way - run the Fulton Armory barrel, as he chambers his in a .308 WIn/7.62x51 Hybrid Match chamber. then, you have no doubt that you can shoot what you want, in your mind.

That's what she said... <lmao>

For good, or on leave, brother?

I used to use the TAC exclusively to load clone Mk262 ammo, and it got hard to find. I switched to Varget, and worked up a good 77gr load with it, and it got hard to find. I now load that 5.56 heavy 77gr with 24.0 grains of RL15, and hope it doesn't get hard to find... <lmao> ...and now you're buying 8lbs of TAC. My, how we go round and round... :banana:

Damn nice build. <thumbsup>

0.094" for the gas port. Seems large, as that's what you run for a 300BLK barrel (or close to it). I can't remember what my Fulton .308 barrel was, and those notes are long gone now. Someone here will have a reference. I'll go measure my unbuilt Rainier 18" barrel and report back in here. Rainier Arms Select 18" SS barrel, midlength gas system, 0.080" gas port in the barrel.

I almost went that route on the short 300BLK. At the last minute, I switched it up to the MI design instead. I'll run one of these rails one day.

For grenades, from a grenade launcher. Not for bullets. Airburst, above the target, in which the target was in defilade.

With 16 fish in the pic, two guys fishing, they get 8 each. With him talking about 2+3 that he has plans for, that's 5 per man, and 10 total. The eagle is taking 3 per man, or someone gets FUCKED UP. Got babies to feed! That's the way I read it, anyway... <lmao>

Love some Reloder 15 - excellent. Gonna use damn near that much to try out some Hornady 195gr BTHP projos loaded to 2.800" - I can't believe you can load those to mag length, but it's in the book. What the hell, right? :banana:
