George, the newer version Choate stock is pretty damn nice. Way different than the older version. I highly recommend the newer one. <thumbsup>

Ray, she's already got seat-time in 4 Pro Stock races. I'm just sayin'... <thumbsup>

If you suspect damage to one of your cases, you immediately take possession of the case and segregate yourself - you take it, locked/secured, directly to their baggage office (if it's not there already), and tell them you suspect damage to your case and contents, and inform them that you want to inspect it right then, in front of them. Proceed with contents inspection. Anything noted, happens right there in front of them, and they take notes. Have them write a report/statement right there, right then. I'm no expert at this guys, and I'm not offering legal advice. I have, however, transported and shipped alot of weapons in a past life, routinely, both militarily and as a civilian. MIlitarily, transporting weapons on a commercial air carrier - that can be fun. Under NO circumstances do you ever let a civilian have sole contact with your full auto rifles and any machineguns (M249, M240, etc.). I've had some close calls with airport security (armed escorts) that start off thinking differently. They might be law enforcement, and don't think they're civilians, but they're damn sure not military and allowed unadultered access to automatic rifles... Couple close calls at Sea-Tac a few times, when they either didn't understand or didn't agree with that... <lmao>

^^^ Exactly what Fark said. The dimple *should* be drilled on the barrel exactly 180 degrees opposite of the gas port in the top of the barrel - if it isn't, then the dimple is in the wrong place. I also use a gas block to dimple my own barrels. They drill the gas port in the gas block through the set screw hole. Those two line up directly, every time. Put gas block on the barrel, turn it over 180 degrees so you're looking down through the rear set screw hole and down into the barrel gas port, center the two holes up, measure your distance off the shoulder. Flip the gas block over, set the distance off the shoulder, and drill a dimple. Secure. Done. <thumbsup>

UPDATE – Magpul releases details on new 700 items: “Hunter 700, $259.95 MSRP has an anodized aluminum bedding block, uses SGA cheek riser and LOP spacers, has M-LOK slots, has dimples to add swivel studs and places to add our QD sockets, weighs 2.9 lbs, and works with factory Rem bottom metal as packaged, or…. Remove a spacer (30 seconds) and insert our hybrid steel and polymer Bolt Action Magazine Well (MSRP $69.95, includes one magazine) to use AICS compatible magazines, speaking of which… The PMAG5 7.62 AC is an AICS compatible polymer magazine with anti-tilt follower, MSRP $34.95. The magazine holds five rounds as packaged to comply with hunting regulations, but if you clip the follower stop on a pre-scored line, it becomes a 6-round magazine, useful in competitive shooting disciplines or just for an extra round.”

DNP has layed the smacketh DOWN!... <lmao>

http://soldiersystems.net/2015/01/12/magpul-presents-the-precision-hunter-featuring-the-new-hunter-700-stock-system/ I hope like hell they make that for the Long Action 700... :eek: :hail:

^^^ Exactly. Makes me wonder about the bypass on GJ. This comment in the article troubles me, and makes me think it's the root of this decision to not GJ this case: Someone higher up wants a conviction - even if there might not have been a conviction, when following the proper legal steps... "Someone higher up" would be the DOJ, and Holder, directly. I say try it as it is, with the proper legal protocol for such an action. See where it falls. Seems that some don't want that. They're not interested in the proper process - just results. That's some scary $hit, right there.

That's a relief. You'da been returning a PTR stock, or trying to sell it forever... <lmao>

What exact stock did you buy? Do you have a link to it from the Brownell's website? The MagPul PTR-91 stock isn't going to fit any .308 AR... None of them...

I've never cleaned a gas block. Gas pressure takes care of that for you, and blows everything into the gas key on the carrier, and right onto the bolt tail and into the carrier. Even with a .22LR conversion bolt in an AR - when the .22LR range session is done, plop in the 5.56 bolt, shoot a few 5.56 rounds off, and it blows any .22LR leading at the gas port right out of it. And into the carrier.

Damn good job on the coating, man. Excellent work. Did you check the barrel nut on that upper? At any rate, let us know how it shoots, because that could confirm CMMG upper and AP lower compatability. Good work. <thumbsup>

Like a hot chick in a bar at 2am. I'd risk it. <thumbsup>

At this point, you couldn't PAY me to drive through ABQ. Seems like they're all still looking for Walter White.

Gotta be careful about what category you're in, though. "Traveling" with firearms is different than shipping firearms to a different state, for your use when you get there. Big differences. Flying on a plane with them in checked baggage is "traveling with them." Shipping them ahead of time and flying in later isn't the same.

Hit beachmaster's link in his original post, and it will take you directly to his specific sales threads in his section. Buy with confidence! :hethan:

In his link above^^^

StainTrain is WAY good to go. I'da thought this would be obvious, but I wanted to state it publicly. You rock, man. <thumbsup>

I wanted this rail section more than anything, but wanted something that I could mount all at once that would give me some good adjustment for 100 yards on this beast. I've been looking at the Skinner rear sights, Williams front FireSights, and a rear NECG Peep Sight - that thing rocks! Later, I may change some things up, but I had to fix my "zero" issue in the near term. Here's my rear sight now, independent of the rail setup - this is exactly it: This is the rear sight I eventually want to try out - the NECG. It'll mount directly to the rail I have now. Williams front FireSight:

That's not fair, bro - she's got SEVEN class titles under her belt... On a note about her - did you know she does all this with NO SPONSORSHIP?!!? She's getting sponsored locally, by Knockout Energy. I know that owner decently well. Hopefully, we'll be sponsoring her in some degree soon, too. Ray, I warned you, brother, I warned you. <lmao> Grab a standard trigger and polish the little bastard up, and shoot it when you're the only person on the range that day - try it out. After that, you and I need to meet up, and you can shoot some aftermarket triggers. You really will not believe the difference between them all. You might get so excited that you'll pee a little... <laughs> This isn't the same as engine building , brother, believe me. If I fuk up an engine, I'm not going to prison as a convicted felon. If I fuk up a gun build, I might not even know what I really did, when they come knocking on my door... Big differences between the two. Precision fitment and precision engineering are a part of both arenas, but fast engines won't land your furry a$s in Gen Pop if you do something you had no idea about... <thumbsup>

Good update, but... I cannot help to wonder how much of this "decision to charge" is politically motivated.

Pullman, WA is where he ended up? I think he made things worse by crossing state lines...

^^^ That's jacked up... <lmao>

Yes, a gas block with two set screws will work fine. The dimple is there so you can properly locate the gas block on the barrel in the correct position. The rear-most set screw lines up to hit into that dimple.
