Should be a good rifle, man. Those guys take pride in their work, and they've got tons of experience. <thumbsup>

No worries about protocols here, man - we have 'em, and don't abide... <lmao> Welcome aboard.

Ed, are people returning fire? You getting shot at out there? If not, then just relax, brother. If it's not serious business out there, then don't make it serious business - it should be relaxing to go out and fire. I did notice in your targets - DAMN! the horizontal spread was nil, but there was vertical stringing. That's most commonly from breathing. Do you remember how you were breathing when you shot that set of rounds? This pic below, your right target - at 300 yards, there's not much more than one inch in the horizontal distance between those shots. Fucking impressive. The vertical spread - breathing, most likely. If you don't remember how you were breathing, then you don't have a pattern - that's my point. Shoot on the exhale. Breathe in, pause, breathe out, pause... Fire. Everytime. <thumbsup>

I can probably send you 87 gas tube roll pins, and it won't even come close to denting my supply... <lmao>

He's acting like he took home a fat chick - he's cuddled up with that thing at night, and at this point, with all his $hit-talking, he's afraid to admit how much he loves it... <lmao>

You can DO it!... <lmao>

Ron is gonna lose his $hit on this one...

I have SO many gas tube roll pins I can send you. It's not even funny how many rifles those little bastards have cost me. Let me know if you need a few, and I'll send them in a package, like seeds...

She's slung - for now. Pulled out a VTAC Mk1 in tan so I could get a sling on this rifle before next Sunday. I plan on shooting this offhand at 100 - against buddies - when we go out shooting. They need to be ready... <lmao> 405 grains of pain coming their way... :banana: Uncle Jerry, talking about the merits of 45-70, and shooting a hand cannon!

Noticed that both those new models of the AR-10 are the P-mag compiiant ones. Interesting. There's a changing coming in with the new tide... Ron is gonna come unglued... <lmao>

GAWD DAYMIT!!! You're the reason there's a Varget shortage in this country, man!!! :rant2:

Is that plywood on that car?!!?...

IE straight just sucks a$s. It's that simple. Functionality is terrible with the modern world. IE is the reason there are so many other browser options - even if the IE die-hards won't admit that to themselves. They'll learn, one day. I hope Wolfgang is doing okay - on his IE. Just sayin'...

Right on - needed for a long time now. <thumbsup>

I've been wanting one of these for awhile now... Must resist... must resist... (Can't go near Jon when he's at the store, either. Fucker is NOT GOOD when he's in the store...)

Perfectly normal. Shoot it. Very few combinations out there have zero gap. That's fine. EDIT - on second look, that's pretty fucking awesome. SMALL gap. Blast it.

Don't wait for them to tell you what you need - order the correct spring and fix it yourself. Take their spring, or course - whether it's right or wrong. Don't rely on the people that sent you the kit, to send you the correct spring - they very well might send you the same damn thing you already have - and insist it's right. Fix this yourself, without a company telling you what you need to do. I can see us diagnosing this again, after that new spring comes in, with you insisting it's the right spring - because THEY insist it's the right spring... See where I'm going here? Can you smell what I'm spreading? Buy an Armalite AR-10 Carbine spring, and be done with it...

Scary thing about this thread, though, is that MaDuce seems all "enamored" with it...

Nope, wrong. I get paid more along the lines of minimum wage - god damn good thing I like my work, most of the time, when I'm not dealing with a$shole customers that like to yell and bitch, just to get things even CHEAPER. I diagnose and fix motorcycles, side-by-sides, ATVs, fucked up Can Am Spyders, and things like that. "Warranty covers EVERYTHING!" No, it doesn't, you cheap fucker - you blew out your clutch... So, in a nutshell, Gunsmiths aren't the only people to get fucked, in their business. MANY people get fucked in their business. This particular gunsmith he's talking about though? That guy was full of poop... Read it through, Terry, before you issue a lesson...

Pics, or it wasn't there... :wwop:

All those kids were WAY into it, until they found out that Hitler was the hero they worshipped... Some were even bummed, when they realized their Utopia wasn't real...

And maybe they won't - the longer you wait, the more you'll pay. That's a definite possibility, and you already saw prices rise. Get it while you can, if you really want it.

There's gonna be some legal battles over this - and the BATFE isn't gonna win them... They're now telling people HOW they can shoot a firearm. Not gonna fly...

They're not going, man... They're GONE... I know, I know...
