Jgun Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Regarding shipping them Fedex to FL. Although a viable option, I think it would be pretty expensive if I decided to ship 2 guns plus my loaded ammo down there. But I guess, unless I were to drive down, it's really the only other practical solution.
washguy Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 Lets see what you did with the MA-TEN matched sets.Heres Lil Blackie of course built with the mega set using a much too heavy 18" dpms sass barrel,troy extreme battle rail,rr nm trigger,magpul acs,tubbs buffer spring,dpms bcg,and a nikon 6x24x50 bdc scope. Ive got the parts on the way for Blackie #2 cause this one shoots so well,but changing to a rainier 18" hoping its lighter :) Wash
98Z5V Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 That's a damn fine lookin' boomstick, wash. <thumbsup>
49 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 the flutes do look cool thoughI like it... <thumbsup>
Robocop1051 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 Smokin hot! The fluted barrel makes the gun look real uniform with the handguard. Nice match up.
washguy Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 Smokin hot! The fluted barrel makes the gun look real uniform with the handguard. Nice match up.Thanks Guys for the comps,but im thinkin that the rainier 18" barrel that just came in weighs bout half of the sass...this ol man cant hardly free shoot it....soo if this polygonal whatever barrel shoots like the sub moa sass im selling the sass and getting another raineir <dontknow> Wash
washguy Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 Hi Guys Here's mega #2 she's called black beauty <laughs> I know...but it wasnt me doing the naming identical build cept for the rainier barrel replacing the dpms sass barrel ,and a geislie super speed enhanced trigger replacing the RR national match.... this geislie is a big letdown it costs more than twice as much and ill bet you a dollar to a doughnut you couldnt tell the diff in a blind test! took two shots to center the scope at 100 then off to two hundred for some break in....this rifle doesnt weigh hardly anymore than my 6.8"s and over 5 lbs lighter than lil blackie! the rainier barrel and their customer service is topnotch! <thumbsup> Wash

Beautiful. What size did you get? The armalite, DPMS high, or low to fit with your MA-Ten?Again, just gorgeous.

Im using the troy extreme ..its the 13.8 which of course covers the gas block....the "high troy" dpms fits the mega ma10. The best contact at troy is Jeff Morgan....he knows his stuff on fitment issues for the 308 <thumbsup> Wash
young-blood Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Awesome, exactly the info I was looking for.Thanks!
1neptune1 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 does anybody know if these uppers will mate with a POF lower?
Jgun Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 I forgot to mention that, as far as I know the Mega forged upper will physically and cosmetically mate to the POF AR 15 lower, and the billet and monolithic AR 15 uppers will physically fit, but the squared off profile of the Mega uppers will overhang the rear of the POF lower in the buffer tube area.
49 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Just a little updateSwitched out the JP Eliminator for their B Cooley tact brake sanded it and timed it myself no washers needed which Im pretty happy about.Plus I went with the Tubbs CWS w/ Flatwire spring.No problems with the CWS installed and shotgun break as reported by others.Also switched out the Bobro qd mount for XTR med rings so that the scope would sit lower. Just more comfy for me and I wanted to get as close to the barrel as possible.But I havent go to shoot her with the lower scope postion.I now know I can go with a 50mm obj with no problems with these rings and still be nice and low. Thought I was going to have to stick with a 42mm obj. not that thats a bad thing was looking at IOR 3-18x42 but thing have changed...Now if deciding on the right scope wasnt such a hard decision.CWS w/spring,enidine buffer and JP adj block combo works like a dream.I cant believe how eazy she is to drive and how gentle she is on brass.I actually have to spin the spent casing between two fingers to feel any kind of ejection scuff because there arent any visable marks.Im really happy with the way she is set up right now.Updated picsAL
Robocop1051 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Damn it, now I REALLY want to get that CWS!Great looking rifle btw.
Jgun Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 How do you find the new brake's effectiveness compared to the tank brake?
49 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for the complimentsHavent had a chance to try the new brake.I have to wait till next weekend,waiting on ammo.I will report back on the difference if any.JP says that there is very little difference between the two.AL
B@Dfi$H Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 not mine i found it on another forumhttp://www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=74972
49 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 How do you find the new brake's effectiveness compared to the tank brake?I got a chance to really test the brake and I cant tell the difference between the two.I do like the cooley brake better because of the looks.The tank brake just seemed to get uglier and uglier everyday.The cooley brake is actually heavier and larger though.AL
Jgun Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 I would agree that the tank brake is not the most attractive, but if it was noticeably more effective than anything else, I'd be willing to run it on a bench gun. I just ordered one of the large JP Cooley brakes for my M1A project, glad to hear that you find it to be an effective brake. Nice looking build you've got there, good luck with it.
