RobPLSCA Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I've got this feeling I am going to have an extra set screw, or take down pin, or something after everything is built, and then say "Damn, look at that... I can't let it go to waste... I might as well build another..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spare gas tube roll pin ended up as a brand new rifle. I kid you not. You have the sickness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) After I publicly stated that, some motherfucker here sent me a completely anonymous bag of 10 gas tube roll pins, too. I went fucking crazy. Another time, I received an anonymous bag of 6 MagPul aluminum trigger guards. The evil here cannot be understated. There are some bad-intentioned people lurking these boards, and they're out to harm your credit, or wallet. You need to watch out, and I mean that. I, myself, have learned to "pay it forward," and I might send something to you - for payback against my past "anonymous" transgressors. You need to understand now, it's not personal. I mean no harm. I will label the package with Dirk's name, though... Edited January 5, 2019 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPLSCA Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hmmm... so there IS a bright side... maybe someone with bad intentions ? will send me a Ranier ultra-match barrel to tempt me into another build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said "Thank you for you order, etc. etc." I'm thinking, "Was I drunken shopping again? I swear I already bought some of those." Then another email arrives from them saying they were transferring order info to their new computer system and to disregard emails announcing previous orders again. Whew! I would have had to ship miscellaneous parts to 98Z to see what he'd build from them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I stopped in to see an old friend, and show him my handiwork. He says, "I think I have an upper that will fit that... Do you want it?" How cool is that?

Let me know when everything is in, for these things, and we can have a build party at DNP's place... @DNP Sorry to volunteer you, brother... I'll bring all the tools, and we can get these things together. I need another road trip over there anyway. Because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPLSCA Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Got any suggestions for gas blocks? Adjustable? Clamp-on or solid? SLS or Superlative or ? I think I need something "low profile" to fit inside handguards. And for a 16" 338 federal, will a 10" length handguard be too short? Should I go with 12" or 15" instead? Of course I can't recall the appropriate size blocks for the barrels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 You won't or shouldn't need adjustable. Save some money there. The hand guards will need to be however long you want them based on whether or not you want the gas block covered or exposed. The gas block location is determined by the the gas port location...carbine, mid, rifle etc. depending on which gas system your barrel has, that will tell you about where the block will be. If you want it covered, I can show you some neat math tricks...but I think you've probably got a calculator somewhere around the office with a plus and minus button. So many choices, where do you start? The barrels you ordered should mention the size gas block you need. one pieces work nice and if you aren't pinning a muzzle device on it you'll be fine if you ever need to take it off. If you were pinning a device, I would get a two piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
