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... 10" rail oughta work just fine with that barrel - the rail will still cover the 9" midlength gas system. Gas block diameter will need to be 0.750". Here's mine with an 11" rail: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPLSCA Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yeah, that's the one! ? In 6.5 Creedmoor, SS fluted satin finish. The 338 Federal is a 16" SS fluted, but I don't recall which model they had available so I have not ordered the gas block for that one. It may also be big diameter.

Chuck Plissken Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Great trigger for the cash. I have a older geissele 4.5lb trigger and the Larue is a bit crisper than the geissele. Good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 They are great triggers. I think I am up to 5 or 6 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPLSCA Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Ok, now both Superlative Arms adjustabls gas blocks are here. .750 for the 16" 338 federal and .875 for the 20" 6.5 Creedmoor (Wilson Combat barrels). I got a regular block with the 18" 308 barrel from BA. I am pretty close to having all the parts now. Sunday should be bin sorting day.

DNP Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 So what's the plan? Time to go on any of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Yep, I need to pack up tools and head to DNPs place for the weekend. I have every other weekend off - the between weekends, i work Saturdays 9~1. EDIT - This just hit me - head over here for the Spring Shoot. We build them all, and break them in right then...

DNP Posted February 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Now you're just trying to get out of a drive over to CA. Which isn't a horrible thing. It's a little cold at the ranch right now. Grounds smoked themselves in the trailer somehow. I've got them wire nutted together and can run the power, but I need to throw a new bus in this weekend.

RobPLSCA Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Are there any electricians on this forum? It looks to me like all those wires are cooked and need replacement. 12 hours ago, DNP said: Grounds smoked themselves in the trailer somehow.
