A downright $hitty day at the range

Daniel Defense. That's the proper rail for you. Even YOU can't break one - I double-dog dare ya to try.

Did I ever tell you that I wouldn't hesitate to beat a motherfucker to death with my DD rail?

Oh, yeah, I did tell you that. Didn't remember... <dontknow>

Done. <thumbsup>

I'm tracking down the original SWS rail that Noveske used. Stand by.

98Z5V · February 16, 2015

Again, ignoring my suggestion... Totally blew me off... :stfu2:

Rsquared · February 16, 2015

Nope. Not at all my brother. Just trying to track down original parts.

Rsquared · February 16, 2015

Yeah......I've heard that. <laughs>

Rsquared · February 16, 2015

Already tracked down the proper "Noveske-used" rail. Pricey......but worth it. GOD DAMN I love SBR's.

More to follow you rat bastards.

98Z5V · February 16, 2015

Uuummmm.... Are you saying you were using inferior equipment from the beginning?....

Inquiring minds want to know... <lmao>

Rsquared · February 16, 2015

^^^^ No. Just....stuff that could be found at the time. I couldn't find the original SWS rails when I first built her.

More to come.

survivalshop · February 16, 2015

I think you broke it on purpose , just to get a new Hand Guard ! <laughs>

98Z5V · February 17, 2015

I saw what you picked up, Ron - good deal. Even helped out a fellow forum member. Excellent stuff, my brother. <thumbsup>

Rsquared · February 17, 2015

Ahh. Put 2 and 2 together huh?

98Z5V · February 17, 2015

No you stealth bastard - you threw that all down with PMs... I had to get in there and read between the lines... <lmao>

Rsquared · February 17, 2015

Hey. I had the need....had the opportunity....and had to strike fast <laughs>.

blue109 · February 17, 2015

lol...I made the same assumption. nothin wrong with that.

Rsquared · March 2, 2015

A round of applause for our brother geistacwm. He hooked me up with an original Noveske (SWS made) rail for the 10 shorty. He's even letting me borrow the barrel nut wrench (since it's proprietary). He's definitely made it onto the "Good To Go" list.

98Z5V · March 3, 2015

You need to get that thing installed already, post the pics of it, and send that damn wrench back... <lmao>

Slacker.

That's slated for this weekend (time permitting). Been busy as hell lately.

Rsquared · March 7, 2015

Okay. So we've got yet another one of those good news/bad news scenarios. The R2 luck continues. <laughs>

So I picked up the time to swap out the rails on the 10 SBR. It snowed here anywhere between 8 and 12 inches over Thursday night/Friday morning. Anybody that's familiar with the DC area knows that any kind of snowfall like that will just cripple this area. You know.......government closes.....school closes.....people completely lose their minds (acting as if they've never seen the white stuff before)....earthquakes happen....locust's swarm.....and pretty much the world stops spinning on it's axis, which causes great tsunami's and tidal waves. Pretty much Armageddon. Go ahead and laugh New Englander's and you guys from the Midwest. I ain't makin this $hit up. That's how these nimrods react around here.

So anyway, that kinda screwed me over with some stuff at work Friday (yeah.....I showed up.....shocker), and pretty much killed what I had planned for today (workwise). Leaving me the time to work on my true love.....Laura (the 10 SBR).

So I proceed to tear the sexy girl down. Get her completely apart. Damn was she filthy. Something Rob and I have in common (besides being downright sexy men :catfight:) is hating to clean these fukers. But....being that she's in pieces, and just a downright dirty girl, I then proceed to give her a good scrubbing. Hell, her parts probably haven't been that clean since I first assembled her. So....I'm about to re-install the barrel, when somehow, the port door rod comes sliding out. Well.....no big deal....I'll just slip the damn thing back into place......right? BIG NEGATIVE. Somehow....and don't ask me how I did it.....I proceed to bend the fuking rod. So.... fu@k ....I casually say to myself. No problem....I'll just tweak her back into shape. DOUBLE BIG NEGATIVE. I somehow turned that little bastard into something that looked like a worm that had twisted...roasted and died on a hot piece of concrete during summer. Well.... fuk again..... I say to myself....still casually of course. After all. This is no big deal. I'll just wonder over to the parts bin and whip out a brand spankin new one.

Well? Get ready. You wanna know what the only part for uppers that I don't seem to have in stock is? YEAH......you probably guessed it by now ladies. FUK!!!!!! :rant2:

Now keep in mind that Armalite makes two different lengths of port door rods. A standard size, and a slightly longer one for free float rails. And I DO have the "slightly" longer one in stock for free float rails. BUT......the design of this Noveske (SWS) rail requires that I use the standard size one. FUK!!!!!! :loser:

All you can do is laugh (and drink) at this point.

And because brother geistacwm (aka Matthew) was nice enough to let me borrow the barrel nut wrench, I don't wanna put him out and make him wait to get it back. So what shoulda been a simple swap of rails......turned into another couple hundred bucks outlay on my part. I ordered the nut wrench from SWS, along with a handful of port door kits from Armalite. Realistically, I'd want to have the nut wrench anyway in case I ever had to pull the barrel for some reason down the road. And, I'll always be able to use the other AR-10 port doors....either as spare parts or as part of other builds. I've still got a couple uppers waitin to be assembled anyway.

So the laughs are on me today ladies. No charge. <lmao>

You're welcome.

How do I get my name added to your Christmas list?

Now you know what comes next...... PICS OR THAT SHIIIT DOESN'T EXIST!!

unforgiven · March 7, 2015

Can't go wrong with a few spares brother.I'll sub-zero temps over $hit ton of snow and black ice anytime.

survivalshop · March 7, 2015

You could have cut the long one down to work with the Noveske hand guard , but then you would have had to go out in the snow . <laughs>

Now, you know that you're already on it. And what pics do you need? A bent port door rod? Theatre of the mind should work just fine on that one.

<lmao> MAD rush on the grocery stores. ALL toilet paper, bread and milk completed cleaned out of EVERY store. I schit you not. It's fucking hilarious. I'd never seen anything like that until I lived there for that early-2010 snow-schit-show. 24~36" of it in early Feb, another 24~36" of it in late Feb. People were INSANE...

Snowmageddon... <laughs>

Eff that place...
