Are you pushing the mag release button in with a punch or other device, to fully thread the button it? You have to do that. If you just try to thread the button onto the end of the threaded portion by hand, and stop there (when you hit the right side of the receiver), you'll never get it threaded on where it needs to be - you need to push that button in, and spin the mag release on the left side of the lower, in order to thread that thing in there...

If you run the AR10 barrel, make sure you run the AR10 bolt for it. There is a difference between the AR10 barrel extensions and the DMPS barrel extensions, as well as the bolts mating to those barrel extensions.

PhotoBucket hates your phone. That can only mean ONE thing!... Time for the Tannerite Pile!!! :banana: :hethan:

Ironic that you posted a pic of a snowbike. Might sound strange, coming from the Phx area, but I'm helping with turbo snowbikes now...

Damn - Right on! I like it, Adam!!! <thumbsup>

Is it a phone issue, or a PB issue? Toss a few of the thread links you're talking about in here, and we'll see if we can see those PB-hosted pics... <thumbsup>

Playing in limited theaters this weekend... OAS 2. Can't wait for it.

^^^ What a dick! That's why he's so much "one of us..." <lmao>

^^^ No fault of your own, brother, for that. Not in those circumstances. You did what you could, and that's nothing to smoke yourself about.

Could always take it to the next local (large) gun show - some older gentleman there will have info on it, for sure, once you plop it in his hands. <thumbsup>

Running the cut -06 case through the .308 Win sizer die makes a completely new shoulder on it - for .308 Win.

^^^ HATE working on those things...

Damn! That is one smart horse!!!

This is the bull$hit part. Mrraley was the Chief Armorer at Armalite at the time of his post, and he's talking about Armalite parts, specifically, in this thread. He's not talking about any DMPS-based parts in the least. DPMS-based parts aren't even relevant to what he was conveying. Nothing "outdated" about his information at all, man.

499. Bastards let me vote today...

Neil, found some info: http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=20403

We need pics of that... <lmao> Try a 5.56 rifle with some Barnes 70gr TSX, brother. DRT. <thumbsup>

Should be real easy to do. Determine the length to cut the case first. Run it through the sizer die, make final length corrections after that. Very similar process to making 300BLK from 5.56 NATO. You're only going from 7.62x63 to 7.62x51.

They work pretty damn well. I picked one up at the beginning of the year, and like it alot. <thumbsup>

Bull$hit.

Not on a training jump, running the DZ. Jumpers might be jumping weapons, but not with ammo. I never went into the South Rainier training areas without a loaded firearm, though - too many meth brewers out there. Got scads of stories about running into those bastards, mid-brew.

It's just like eating an elephant. How do you eat a whole elephant? One bite at a time. <thumbsup>

That's beautiful brass - seriously. <thumbsup>

I was kinda lame with that one, I understand... :banana: Ed is making strides, so I went soft... <lmao> Ed, Minute-Of-Man (or Minute-Of-Deer) is perfectly acceptable. However, once you add stress to that, most people can't shoot that. Off bags and bipods, sleds, rests, locked into shooting jackets and all kinds of $hit, some people can do amazing things with a rifle. Once you take that stuff away from them, some of them can't (literally) hit the side of a barn at 100 yards or more. Focus on the basics, and become a good shooter. As you get better and better, start adding things to the mix - not talking about equipment, necessarily. Get good at shooting a group at 100. Next time after that range session, go run 100 yards away from the firing line and the 100 back, drop your a$s in the bench and shoot 10 as rapidly as you can... go downrange and measure THAT group... You'll see a difference, and one that might shock you. ***NOTE - if on a public range, notify the Range Master of your intent, before you haul a$s 100 yards away from a working bench, so he doesn't think you're a freak, and call 911 on your seemingly psycho display...*** There are many things you can do to add stress to your shooting sessions that will make you a better shooter. Ask for examples, and I can give you things that will keep you busy for the next couple months. <thumbsup>
