Told ya - those L5 AWM mags are the shizzle!!!! :hethan: My stuff gets here tomorrow...

I just turned my computer upside down, so I could view that accurately... <lmao> Sweet deconstruction, Lite! EDIT - I'll bet that powder is Accurate 1680. The 190-grain projectile info gives: 1200fps charge weight is 12.9gr and the 1300fps charge weight is 14.0gr. It makes sense for 1050fps at the lower 11.2~11.3gr charge weight... Does the powder look like 1680?

Very, very, very tight chamber - or some bad reloads with a compressed shoulder. What barrel are you using, and what ammo are you using?

They're pretty much GEN I and GEN II rifles. I don't think the lowers are the same...

Update on a completely different subject. Same guy, more $hit... http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/01/21/sons-guns-star-will-hayden-ordered-to-pay-ex-partners-for-secret-business/?intcmp=ob_article_footer_text&intcmp=obnetwork

Those SWFA fixed power scopes get great reviews all over the place. I don't think I've ever stumbled upon a bad review of them.

The feature might be turned off, on an individual level. Typically, you'd hit your profile, select Gallery, and upload your stuff into it. From there, you can paste it right into posts and threads. It's basically a self-contained image-hosting feature, so you don't have to load into Photobucket, ImageShack, and the like, then link from an external site.

A quick call to Geissele would clear that up. I'm sure they'd be completely open about it.

Invision Power Board feature - you can upload your own pics into your gallery, then link them into your threads and posts.

Like the M4 videos that came out a couple years ago - on the standard barrel (A2 profile), the barrel drooped and blew out. On the heavy barrel (SOCOM profile), the gas tube get go, but the barrel was still intact, and the rifle was firing single-shot. Charge-shoot, charge-shoot, charge-shoot...

16" Rifle gas M118LR would be a fabulous addition to that lineup - I hope the boss goes for it. For the mainstream public, you should get ahold of Clint at Fulton, and let him know that we could have sold several of his MW profile 16" rifle gas barrels in the past few years, if he would stock them again. That barrel was always a winner. He should consider stocking a few at a time, all the time. We'll make sure they get sold for him. <thumbsup>

Looks like a good program! Hmmm.....

Swiping that thing is some low, low dirtbag $hit...

There's a pic of that pup in a thread here - cool dog! Gonna be a BIG dog!

Headspace verified by a very reputable vendor, all torque set by you off correct specs. Function check passed. You're good. <thumbsup> Sling lead, my good man.

If you've never heard of Ralphie May, then you are in for a surprise. This dude is hilarious! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBhAyIahLvA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTwQRV8K3GU Yes, I will blow up your day with this... <lmao>

That's a smokin' deal on that sight. Snatch that while it's still there. I nailed mine in 2010 at the Ft Belvoir PX for a little cheaper - but EOTech was having an instant counter rebate then, and the PX doesn't charge sales tax. I've honestly never seen a 512 cheaper than that, brother.

^^^ What blue said. <thumbsup> Blast it.

It'll still shoot very, very well, when you find that perfect charge weight for your rifle configuration. But no, you won't find the consistency in the projectiles that you'll find in match projectiles.

I've shot that upper configuration from Shibi - DAMN does that thing shoot nice! That a fine looking piece of hardware, man.

That's normal, especially for that type of projo - FMJ-BT.

For the record, I'm building a .308 AR with a 13.7" barrel, currently...

Not for 5.56, and the design of the cartridge, which is where this is all coming from. That 5,56 projo needs to fragment to do what it was designed to do - otherwise, it leaves a small entry wound and a small exit wound, straight through. Fragmentation ability is directly tied to bullet speed on impact. The speed reduction of 5.56 from a 11.5" barrel down to a 10.5" barrel is the major jump, and the major loss in speed. You're already at a disadvantage shorter than 11.5", due to that drop in speed at anything under that point/length. Now, with those reduced speeds, and when you drop under the "fragmentation speed," you need to determine what ranges you'll expect to engage targets with said short-barreled weapon. If your job is room clearing, you can do that with a pretty short barrel, and that 5.56 bullet will probably fragment in that distance. If you're taking your 7.5" 5.56 pistol out to a 300-yard engagement point, that 5.56 projo is not going to fragment at that range. You better make a vital hit with it. Anyway, that's the background on it. More can be found in the works of Doc Roberts, and his analysis and presentations.

You should always shoulder it well - think of it like this: the rifle needs a good base to recoil against. It literally is the same thing as limp-wristing a semi-auto pistol. Give the same ammo another chance, through another 100-rd test - but knowing what you found out. Bet they all run well the second time. <thumbsup> How many rounds total through this rifle now?
