You could have used your power to help me update the OP, but instead you bring cursing and insults to a tech forum. Do you want me to go away? No not in the least bit, but the forum is set up like this for a reason as I see you were told the last time. And the was the thread is going is perfectly fine as you have also been told before.

The 10 pos is the same length as the AR10 and VLTOR A5 tube. If you want to use it on a 308, you will use a standard AR15 buffer same as AR10. If you use it on an AR15, you will use a VLTOR A5 buffer. The 7 hole is milspec length, so you would use standard buffer on an AR15, and a DPMS 308 buffer on a 308 Rifle. Pretty much what you said...just splitting it up to make it a little more clear for anyone passing through Edited August 25, 2016 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Spart....relax Francis. The editing thing is here for a reason. I'm sure admin wouldn't mind doing a cut and paste add to the OP if you set it up for him. Rolling in here every few months and getting all cranky isn't going to get you very far though.

Exactly I look at it this way, slim to no one is going to go back and read the "OP" threads go in chronological order so some one sees a new post (new info they read it) easy peasy. I don't understand why it's such a big deal. Make it a great day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why it's such a big deal. Make it a great day I don't know about anyone else, but I've linked a few people to this thread when they told me they were interested in building up an AR-10 clone. It'd be easier without the caveat "oh and make sure you read the *whole* thread because the big long OP is out of date." That caveat will only get worse the longer this thread gets.

blue109 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Agree It is nice to have both. a continuing update for those who follow along, and a consolidated list at the beginning for new people and quick search results. The edit rule came about when a past member who had made good contributions got butthurt and went through the forum deleting everything he posted. Its then exhausting to go back through and fix all the threads that don't make sense. Its a shame, and a PITA, but there is a reason. Seeing as how you are not a regular poster, your account has that limitation on it. Is there any way you can copy the OP and add the updates, and then email it to a mod or even repost it back here? I'm sure someone with the power can then edit the OP with the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spart Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 That's going to be tough, since I can't even get the BB code of my OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have easily PM'd a mod asking them nicely to make changes or better yet pm them somthing to copy in paste as many stated. But yet you just come here and demand us to change for you, but as you stated you've never participated in any other thread than this one?!? But I'm thee asshole ps I can't change setting like that, it's above my pay grade I'm just here to make sure people don't come in an raise a ruckus Edited August 25, 2016 by shepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spart Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I don't know which mod to PM, your site lists 19 users in the staff directory without a clue as to who does what. I'm not demanding anything. I've repeatedly asked for help. For reference, here is every time I've asked in chronological order: "The OP is in need of an update, but I can't do it. Can a mod assist, or maybe unlock the post for me?" - 4/1/15 "OP really needs updated, and I think it really belongs here. Can a mod help with this? I can't edit the OP." - 5/6/15 "My OP is getting out of date and I'd really like to make some updates but I can't because the forum won't let me. Would appreciate some help!" - 2/24/16 "I really wish a mod or admin would assist me in updating the OP, or getting it to a better place where it can be kept up-to-date. The market changes on a monthly basis." - 8/23/16 It sounds like everyone with the power to make changes is apathetic, so maybe this forum isn't the best place to curate this info.

jtallen83 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 The Mods here are not your paid staff, hell they put up with this stuff for free. They all have regular jobs that don't include babysitting. Relax a bit, be polite with them, and somebody will do it if it's worth doing.

Robocop1051 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 OK, I'll bite.... @Spart, post your new/revised section here. I will use my mystical powers to put that information in place of the OP, and then delete the redundant post. You can do this as many times as you wish, and just PM me with the request at that time. Make sure your new post is a complete post, and not just an addition. I am deleting the OP and replacing it with whatever you put as your v2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some way to turn on a BB code editor in lieu of the WYSIWYG editor? Manually embedding the images and links will be pretty time consuming.

I just ordered a D.P.M.S.rifle buffer because the Armalite was out of stock at DSG for 30 days. I ordered the Armalite rifle receiver extension and spring from them. Will this combination work on my PA10 GII. After reading this post I still don't know but it looks like there might be a length problem. The PA10 came with an out of spec carbine set up. Did the original post ever get updated, I can't tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 That'll be fine. 308 rifle buffers are 5.200" long. The Armalite spring is the EA1095, and works wonderfully in both rifle and carbine recoil systems. The rifle receiver extension is the same everywhere - same exact internal depth as the AR15 rifle receiver extension. You'll be just fine, as long at that wasn't a DPMS AR15 rifle buffer, which is 5.900" long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
