Yeah! That's some beautiful Blackout! Right on, brother - not too bad to do once you knock out a few of them, huh? <thumbsup>

I run the KNS pins in the pistol-caliber ARs. Blowback pistol rounds are very hard on hammer pins, and the KNS setup cures that.

Fukk. I meant to start this topic in the Club House, not Politics... <lmao>

Balls. BIG balls.

Nope, not gonna mess with "the weird AR..." <lmao>

There's another quote out there, for you... "Buy once, cry once..." This isn't a cheap hobby, not in the least. Not saying you should look for the most expensive stuff, either. Informing youthat even some mundane parts for this platform can be expensive. Doesn't matter how loquacious you are about it, it doesn't change that...

Don't use the KNS pins in the Geissele triggers - the Geissele pins are much better, anyway. The big ARs use AR-15 safeties, so there's no specific 308 safety out there.

^^^ Indeed, it is. Price doesn't matter in that determination, also.

Yep, I've got it, and love it. Great Hi-Speed choice, too, because you can adjust lighter (into the upper ranges of the Match) and addjust heavier (into the lower ranges of the Service). Awesome trigger. Mine is in the Mk12 rifle. What safety are you running? I've got the BADASS safety in all my rifles, and no modification was necessary, at all. <thumbsup>

No way, man - he's in for the CMMG with this thread he started. Rules are rules - aware or not...

Turn that router on, and she'll think you're working... <lmao> :hethan:

Sneaky Bastages. I remember now that you mentioned Sexual Chocolate - I need to pick up some mounting hardware that'll be specific to that rifle, and I'll get that sling mounted up! You guys rock. :hethan: Tell Drew that I love him, in a Pants-Down-Hug kinda way. Big time. :love4:

You have a new tool, though. That's always a win. :)) :banana: <thumbsup>

Was that for the 150s? That's giving you around 2400fps on that one. Speed that bullet up to 2600fps and your results will change drastically. For the better. 43.3gr of 4064 is listed for 2600fps, and a max charge of 44.9gr or 4064 gets you to 2700fps. That's the max charge listed in the Hornady manual, so you can reference other sources for more powder - I know there are a couple out there that go higher. Be careful with that $hit, though...

That AMAX is a badass projectile. <thumbsup> Don't know what you'll end up with on the 4064, but for the 150 FMJ-BT projectiles, I'm loading 44.0gr of RL-15, and they're working great (.308 Win loadings). You need the Hornady load data numbers on those projos, for 4064?

That 178 AMAX is about the longest bullet that you can buy and still load to magazine length. You'll need a 1:10 twist barrel to get the most from it. 1:11.25 will still give you decent results. The Hornady 178gr BTHP Match projectile has a better BC to it (0.530 versus the AMAX 0.495), so it would do better at longer distances over the AMAX. Less wind drift, less drop at distance.

You cross a certain percentage of piston diameter on any of the port widths, and you'll run into serious trouble. Same with changing the port roof. That's what affects your port timing - and it's all about port timing on 2-strokes. Only when you can't affect the port roof anymore, do you go wider, in a general sense. It gets much deeper, though... That's where the Black Magic that Ray was talking about comes into play.

They only affect rail height. Only. In the DPMS section, we have a pinned thread that discusses the TWO rail heights that will concern you. The third rail height is the High Rider. Don't think you'll find a blank High Rider to machine. Your head hurts because you're not listening to the accurate information that's being presented to you...

Nobody ever told me about that rule... :wtf: OP, welcome aboard. <thumbsup>

Nobody makes a DPMS Gen II upper, besides DPMS. There are no other alternatives right now. None. Therefore, you don't need to worry about getting a Gen I or Gen II upper that you can mill out. Hope that helps.

Slow elk... <lmao>

Any word from you peeps? I'm shooting anyway, but if you guys aren't coming, I'll wake up later... :))

Serious?!!? You sneaky bastages! <lmao>

Laser Cast (Oregon Trail Bullet Company) does some of these, too - thinking about trying them out. I'm using their 405gr 45-70 cast bullets, and the damn things are VERY nice! Hit the 45 Cal page and check what they have: http://oregontrailbullet.com/shop/

I've got 3 of those that are dedicated to The Woody. Love 'em. <thumbsup>
