  1. DPMS has them for $0.40 each, and I had 20 of them in the cart. $5.00 shipping. I've just never ordered them because I don't know when they'd show up. The only other place I've ever seen them is from another parts company (not a manufacturer), and they wanted $2.95 each for them. Eff that. I might order the DPMS parts just to see how long it takes to get here.
  2. Roger!!! I miss you, man!!! Still have the same phone number?...
  3. Those were good results - very good. He had an advantage though, according to the article. He had some training in his background.
  4. Shepp, don't worry about mags - I've got whatever you need. Well, unless you are definitely shooting whilst in CO.
  5. Not true at all - To me, the price doesn't matter - as with alot of people. The only thing stopping me is that the noise is a non-issue. Doesn't bother me at all. Plus, I have a habit of not complicating schit with complicated schit. Damn sweet rifle, glad you love it. Glad you appreciate the spring, and it's working for you. For some, it's a lifesaver, for others it doesn't matter. It's not about money, though. Awesome rifle, man. <thumbsup>
  6. Savannah, GA Police Office that shot shitbag felon Charles Smith will NOT be charged. Damn good news. http://bearingarms.com/officer-shot-handcuffed-felon-will-charges-savannah/
  7. And, he doesn't even leave you a link... <lmao>
  8. He's doing some pretty cool stuff to get those Berdan primers out of the case - I'd mess with him about it, and ask him how he's doing it - how's he depriming and resizing? This is the coolest video I've seen on it: The ticket will be converting them from Berdan primed to Boxer primed - don't know if you can do that with steel:
  9. I personally don't think we will see a ban, of any sort, in reference to this. They did NOT expect the pushback they got from the American People. That fucked them up. They poked the bear, and they now know that.
  10. Tuesday looks like the day! I'll get my review up, compared to whatever triggers that are closest to it, in my inventory.
  11. ^^^ That is based off the presumption that this works out. You can nail a .308 AR barrel for cheaper than $250, from numerous places online. Not trying to be a downer to you, but there's going to be significant work involved in doing this. It doesn't seem that you realize that, as wells as your gunsmith realizing that. It won't be an easy affair, and you're the one paying for it.
  12. You guys all need to go read the comments at the bottom of this page - and support Josh. <thumbsup>
  13. Rene, you are not going to get a rifle gas system on a 14.5" .308 barrel, brother. I hate to break that to you - I've been watching the posts, and I understand your hardon. It's not gonna happen, brother. I hate to be a dick, but it is what it is. <lmao> I'm turning a mid-gas Rainer .308 barrel into a 13.7" barrel, so I can pin it to 16" minimum legal requirement. I will document this and give you pics. God DAYUM, you are stubborn... <laughs>
  14. So, you're saying you don't have an extractor spring in your rifle? You do. From that vid you posted, it looks like the SR556 already had the p-ring on the extractor spring - your SR762 might already have it from the factory. If it does, and you can rule out a weak extractor spring, a functional o-ring - then you can jump to the conclusion that it's gas pressure that caused it. Rule out what you can before you jump to conclusions.
  15. One of these will fix that trigger you took out - let me know if you can find one cheap somewhere, with cheap shipping. My usualy "quick searches" failed me, so my trigger sits in the parts box.
  16. Those are for the smaller brothers - not .308ARs. Check your spring in yours first, and see if it's larger. It probably is, since everything in the 308ARs is about 30% larger...
  17. Check the extractor spring - disassemble the bolt and look at it. If it doesn't already have an o-ring around it, put one on, and try it from there. Wouldn't be a bad idea to just replace it, and add the o-ring, too.
  18. J-Spring. That's the J-Spring failing. I've currently got a stock-type trigger with a broken J-Spring. I'll fix it if I can find the damn spring somewhere.
  19. Good vid from Military Arms Channel. Very good vid. Rob, here's some 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo that's very close to the 90gr at 2100fps you wanted to see. All these shots are against level IIIA. https://www.full30.com/video/bb4bb9aff53dc8d0be5718c7982bf55b
  20. 6" craftsman vise, swiveling/locking base.
  21. The whole point is - they cannot do that. They cannot "modify the definition of armor-piercing ammunition to conform to..." anything. They cannot modify that. They can't go back in time and change the LEOPA, 1986. Spread that word, everyone.
  22. Big fucking fail on the "AND" as well as the "OR..." .223 Rem ammunition, as well as 5.56 NATO ammunition does not fit those very specific requirements, which are law. Those requirements are law. Not "rulings" or "guidelines" or "opinions" or "adjudications..." Law.
  23. To reiterate... The term ‘armor piercing ammunition’ means— (i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or (ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile. © The term ‘armor piercing ammunition’ does not include shotgun shot required by Federal or State environmental or game regulations for hunting purposes, a frangible projectile designed for target shooting, a projectile which the Attorney General finds is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, or any other projectile or projectile core which the Attorney General finds is intended to be used for industrial purposes, including a charge used in an oil and gas well perforating device.
  24. From your post above - second linked article: "Rep. Steve Israel of New York Friday said in a release that he will push the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to "reevaluate" it's decision to back off a ban of the 5.56 M855 ammo." The only problem is this - they're too stupid to even know the law. They don't even know the "framework" of the 1986 LEOPA. Too fucking dumb, and too fucking dumb to research it. Here's the bottom line on it: http://thefederalist.com/2015/03/09/the-obama-administrations-m855-ammo-ban-is-blatantly-lawless/ The Obama Administration’s M855 Ammo Ban Is Blatantly Lawless The ATF has no statutory authority to ban the manufacture of M855 rifle ammunition. Earlier this year, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) unexpectedly announced that it planned to characterize all M855/SS109 ammunition (5.56x45mm) as armor-piercing and ban its manufacture. The ATF claims that its authority comes from a 1986 federal statute that defines armor-piercing ammunition and gives ATF the authority to ban it. Unfortunately, the ATF’s claim is nonsense. It has no such authority to ban a rifle round that is economical, popular (especially among those who own AR-15s), and far less lethal than many other types of common rifle ammunition on the market. The ATF does not have that authority now and did not have it back in 1986 when the law was first passed. At its core, this is a naked and lawless power grab meant to effectuate gun control that the administration is unable to obtain via the ballot box or the legislature. Here is the precise statutory definition of “armor-piercing ammunition,” which can be found in 18 U.S.C §921(a)(17): (17) (A) The term ‘ammunition’ means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellent powder designed for use in any firearm. (B) The term ‘armor piercing ammunition’ means— (i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or (ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile. © The term ‘armor piercing ammunition’ does not include shotgun shot required by Federal or State environmental or game regulations for hunting purposes, a frangible projectile designed for target shooting, a projectile which the Attorney General finds is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, or any other projectile or projectile core which the Attorney General finds is intended to be used for industrial purposes, including a charge used in an oil and gas well perforating device. This definition is really, really important when comes to the issue of whether M855 ammunition is “armor-piercing” or not. Interestingly enough, the definition does not require that so-called armor-piercing ammunition actually be capable of piercing armor. The definition includes two main parts, at least one of which must be satisfied before ammunition can be classified as being “armor-piercing” and therefore subject to prohibition. Furthermore, each of the two parts contains multiple conditions, all of which must be satisfied. You cannot mix and match requirements from the two distinct definitions (the supreme importance of this point will become clear later). We’ll look at each of the two major definitions separately. The first definition, from (B)(i) above, requires all of the following: a projectile (or bullet) must be 1) usable in a handgun, and 2) constructed entirely from “one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium.” Is M855 ammunition usable in a handgun? Yes. Although it’s primarily a rifle round, some handgun manufacturers built handgun platforms around it. Is the M855 projectile constructed entirely from one or a combination of those materials listed in the statute? No. It’s made from a combination of steel and lead, and lead is not one of the materials listed in the statutory definition of “armor-piercing ammunition.” What does this mean? It means that the first statutory definition for “armor-piercing ammunition” fails to apply to M855 ammunition, since both conditions were not satisfied.
  25. Have you even shot this thing yet?
