Something else I thought about - one of the first lessons in Precision Measurement. SuzukiRay knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about with this one, too. <thumbsup> The very first thing you need to suspect is the measuring equipment - verify it, and know how to use it. When measurements come up different, you don't suspect the part - you verify the equipment, very first. Are you using a digital vernier caliper to measure your COAL? Are you practiced in applying the correct pressure to the thumbwheel each and every time? Easy way to check this is with a verification piece that is a (machined) known length. Say the thing is precision machined to 1.750" - the length of a trimmed 5.56 case. You measure that known piece, and see what you get. If you get different numbers that what that verification piece is, then you're measuring wrong. I'll get pics in here tomorrow of what I'm talking about. You can buy a HF caliper set that has these verification pieces in it, and it's cheap, and you can get your technique down. Don't doubt your die set yet, brother. <thumbsup>

We're here for you, brother. Bounce questions into the threads, and someone will answer. May not be the same person everytime, but it'll be the right info you need. <thumbsup> The 800-meter thing will never go away, but that's why we love you... <lmao> I just wish that I could be the one to help someone on this board sometime. Apparently, I've never, ever done that, not even once... <dontknow>

Close the bolt slowly, and seat it with the forward assist. Close the bolt slowly, and seat it with the forward assist. <lmao> Sorry, man - had to do it...

You met me already - if I make plans to head back and visit family, I'll let you know here. Still some good ranges back there to hit up. <thumbsup>

This line right here is Legendary... <lmao>

We need to get that guy to sign up on the board... <lmao>

I like to keep things simple, for good reasons. The simpler something is, the less chance it has to fail. Standard buffer, heavy or not, and a standard gas block. Less things to fail, and that can't be argued. Don't complicate $hit with complicated $hit...

Something is fucked up with your seating die setup, to have a difference overall of 0.013" in COAL. My observation.

The dedicated tubes appear to be quite badass. I''m just sayin'.

Better yet - load and shoot what you have. This is for practice, anyway. Be consistent with your practices, like I said before. You want these to have the same velocity, basically. Case length affects crimp tightness, measure every powder charge, load up the same bullet depth (COAL measurement, mostly). They'll be consistent. <thumbsup>

Switch to Hornady bullets, brother.

Hey, Jon asked for it... <lmao>

Then you should probably go back and read this thread again. As I said earlier - reading comprehension. Enjoy your stay here - I don't think we'll have much time to chat with you, like this...

New Big AR platforms need to break in, and new mags need to break in. Load your mags 1/2 full. Get 200 rounds through the rifle. Everything will be different after that.

Drew has been off-grid for quite awhile - I think he's hiding from us. Probably moving to a new server, and we have no idea. <thumbsup>

Just got it again...

I'd do the same thing... <lmao> Wouldn't let that fugger get me... :bat:

Yep, got it about 45 minutes ago on my machine. Had to backtrack a few times to get this to come back up. Closing the window completely and reopening the site didn't work, either. Was around 2015 my time.

That's no small tree, brother! How damn big is that tree?

Never said anything about blueprints for the KAC M110 - read closely. You missed that. If you don't think KAC has patents for their proprietary operations, then you're incorrect. I think you need to research a little more, and post a little less, in manners that you only provide speculation on. Which is often.

Be consistent with your loading practices, and you'll have some great results. 1. Make sure all your brass is the same length after you resize. 2. Measure every powder charge and make sure they're the same. 3. Seat your bullets to the exact same depth. 4. Crimp the same each time (if they're the same length after resizing, then the crimps should be equal, if you're doing them in the press).

You need to step down of your highhorse a little bit, man. Don't bring a bull$hit attitude. I can guarantee you this - Mega isn't having any barrels "made with supervision" in China or the PI. Maybe you should call Mega and talk to them, if it's got you so bothered. Once you have your information, come back in here and post up all your newly-gained useful information that you seek so bad.

I don't think blue read the link... <dontknow> :banana:

Let us know - we'll set up a range-fest. 107 miles, brother - easy trip. That's from Willcox to Marana, where this range is.
