In your big post about CTD, this statement said it all... "Make an honest living" is exactly what CTD did not do. What they did is exactly against everything that stands for 2A - they certainly didn't support the 2A community, in the very least. That is the very reason most people cannot stand them, and will never provide them one thin dime of income.

Haha! That's a good one - I have 3 ambi lowers, and not one of them has anything coming into the fire control pocket that would interfere with a trigger assembly - not one. I don't have a lower that's got the S&W M&P10 setup on it, on the right side. In fact, very few people here have the M&P10. YOU could probably help the rest of the community out a little bit, instead of being all snide about it, and show what the interference is... It's up to you to figure out if you can do that, or if pride will get in your way... <dontknow> Your last post should remove all doubt as to why I stated what you quoted, in the first place... You answered your own question...

Right on! Range report is up next - when you gonna shoot it?

Skip to about 7:30 for the real excitement... <lmao>

Well, that's no excuse! That means you're at home, not doing much - plenty of time! <lmao>

I was gonna give you the typical answer - you've been here for a minute, so you'd be ready for it. Then, "1 new reply has been posted" pops up. I'm glad you did that, but you still get it anyway... :wwop:

This man speaks from experience... <thumbsup> This man speaks from experience... <lmao>

AIM Surplus has been around for a long, long time... They are a solid company to do business with...

First thing needs to be the cam pin and the channel in the carrier. After that, move to the upper - provided you don't see a whole bunch of shiny aluminum in the upper when you strip it down... <lmao>

He's gonna fit in just fine around here... <lmao>

Wow... blue went off like I usually do... :eek: :hail: <laughs>

^^^ Yep. Just pull up your Big Girl Panties and deal with it...

You did a damn great job on that build - that's a nice rifle, man. I like your outlook on this, too... just build another... <lmao> Need some gas tube roll pins, by chance? <laughs>

Damn, that thing is awesome! EXCELLENT work!!! :hethan:

Were you buying used GI surplus 30-rd AR mags from them, after Sandy Hook, for $99ea? What those bastards did to their prices after that event - I'll never shop from those gouging a$sholes ever again.

I used a rifle stock on my 300BLK, with a rifle buffer - that damn thing was TOO heavy. NEMO Arms 16" melonited barrel with carbine gas system. I ended up taking two weights out of that buffer, and inserting lightweight spacers in place. That was about the only thing would get it to lock back after the last round. What I really need to do on that rifle is open up the gas port, but I'm too lazy to take the damn thing all apart... <lmao>

Big fan of the Geissele SSA triggers, and the SSA-E is even better. Not a big fan of CTD - they can all collectively choke on a bowl of dicks.

At this point, I'm just interested in seeing where the contact was, what hit what, and why the trigger didn't work. I'd much rather see a pic of the problem, than try to envision it through written words. I'd also much rather use a trigger that didn't decrease a capability that is built into the base rifle. So, in short, I'd run a compatible trigger, something like a Geissele, rather than an incompatible trigger, such as the HF. Maybe one of the Geissele triggers wouldn't work either - I just have a hard time understanding where this interference was, and how a standard trigger worked if something else won't.

^^^ Sure makes it easier for the sinkhole to find your house... <lmao>

You mean a 2-foot section of firehose, with a handle on one end? Good interrogation tool, right there! <thumbsup>

Pretty sure I use an H buffer in one, and the H2 in another - but those are 5.56...

^^^ Just on the pressure differences (which are measure with two completely different methods). You nailed it on the case thicknesses - 7.62x51 cases are thicker through the walls, and have more thickness in the webbing at the bottom, around the primer. Somewhere around here I posted a pic of the two cases going lengthwise through the chopsaw.

I love how trouble-shooting thread, once things get technical, starts to look like an interrogation... <lmao>

...and from what vendor or source...

So, this rifle had to come with a standard mil-spec looking trigger in it. So, any Geissele would work. So, why mess with something else?
