Brother, excellent! Can you put the caliper to them and measure the overall length? I want to compare that to some Hornady 178gr BTHP projos that I picked up.

Worth a detour, or a "missed flight" brother - believe me. <thumbsup> Or, maybe we can't hit that in April - that just means we need to get you back out here in October or November... <lmao> We'll help you look for the new house, for your move here... :banana:

I have a bad feeling one of these things will be in my possession soon. I've got a really bad itch to build a lightweight 16" midlength 5.56 gun... This schit hit me in the last 48 hours, too... :rant2:

...and you don't love us enough to even toss in a pic of them... :bat: :stfu2:

That doesn't matter on a .308 AR... The forward assist will only index and catch off the shoulder anyway, in these big things. Don't let that stop you. I have one of the ARES NiB 5.56 BCGs. Runs like a champ.

The spring just eliminates, or cuts down on, noise. The adjustable gas block cuts the recoil. You adjust the gas down to just what it takes to cycle the rifle. Recoil isn't gonna get any lighter than that, right there. More than that, and it doesn't cycle.

Here's one...

Every one of those 12 with the blown primers have some pretty hard ejector swipes on them. Those things were hot... :eek: Hard to tell from the pic angle, but are the other 8 primers flattened? A couple look like they might be cratered, too. That's some hot schit.

Can't wait to try out the Match version, brother. <thumbsup>

ALG ACT trigger in there. Good trigger, but I won't mind taking it out to put the Elfmann in there. Larry, you're right - if they weren't different color combinations, I'd have no idea what some of them are. It would be just like all of George Foreman's kids - all named George... <lmao>

Seriously thinking about picking some of these up and trying to work up a load for the M1 Carbine with them... Hmmm... If it doesn't work so well, they'd get made up as BLK rounds.

I'm pretty sure the only childish ego here is yours, and it's pretty offended. STAY OUT OF YOUR FACE... Really. It's the internet, man - I'm not sitting in your couch in your living room. You kinda need to get ahold of yourself a little...

You could be patient like Matt, and wait TWO YEARS for a barrel, before your blood pressure gets up... That guy is a saint. :hail:

I think the peer pressure got to him, he made some long distance shots, and now Sheriff Joe has him in Pink Panties and Pink Handcuffs!

I love this top comment... <lmao>

You have a "spare" DMR, just hanging around?... <lmao>

This is your intro thread - start a build thread and you'll get more info. Not everybody hits the intro section, in order to provide technical information, on a routine basis. Nobody is gonna build your rifle in this thread. You'll thank me later. As to the "why" - there are a million "whys" on products. Some of the product research is going to have to come from you. You're not going to always get a product recommendation, and get a big list of "Whys" on that product. Making that a stated requirement will definitely hinder your responses. Example - if I like a certain product because I've been using it for years, and it just works, but you want me to tell you why I like it - I may not put in the effort to tell you. Hell, it's well known, never had a bad reivew, and I might not feel like listing a bunch of information that's already available almost everywhere you turn on the internet. I'll just skip answering, and let you do the legwork. Just a tip... People recommend things - research what they recommend, and come up with your own "why-nots..."

I crack up everytime I read this thread, because it's usually updated by Ed about 3 times a day... <lmao>

^^^ Fully functional Q36 Counter-Battery Radar, too... :hethan:

Shibi is getting me worried... I'm gonna have to head to the east side and start sprinkling rice, just to see if I can draw him out! <lmao>

Didn't load a damn thing today - but nailed 2 x 1lb cans of 1680 for the Blackout loads. Still have 1lb of H110 to go through first, then I'll fire up the 1680. <thumbsup>

Awesome! That a pretty speedy range report, and it makes me laugh in a way... If I build a new semi, or buy a new rifle, I usually don't show up for work that day, or take the next day off - just to shoot that bastard! <lmao> I love it, man. <thumbsup>

Fully operational and probing... Got a couple things on the radar at the moment... <thumbsup>

Picking one out now... It's going in this one - you guys forgot I had this one, didn't ya? This will be the trigger - doing the curved one:
