Buying rifle/gun parts on Fleabay will only lead to us diagnosing a bunch of crap later, when those parts fail or don't work at all. Please get your parts from a reputable firearms retailer or manufacturer. It saves all of us headaches.

Considering that... If the mag release button was of the standard dimensions, and the mag release itself was on the standard dimensions... Then something isn't right with that lower.

F marked front sight bases were developed by Colt, for the M4A1 Carbine sight radius. Carbine gas port location on a 14.5" 5.56 barrel. You don't need the F marked front sight base on a rifle with an 18" barrel, considering it's probably not a carbine gas system, and it's not a 5.56 rifle.

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.
