That makes getting it loose a challenge till you break it loose. At 38-42 lb-ft, the little extra shearing castle nut staking isn't noticeable.

They break free pretty easy when you want them off. The stakes are there to prevent it from coming loose on it's own - but they crack free without drama.

Steve crawford Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Received my Armalite Extension tube, buffer and spring this week. Installed it today. The exterior length of the Armalite tube was longer than the AR-15 tube that was used by the gun shop to add the RRA adjustable but stock. The RRA Marksman but stock fit very good on the extension tube. The spring was longer and much stiffer than the one from the gun shop. I bet that thing would have kicked like a mule with the AR-15 buffer system. Now if the range will dry up enough for me to get a target put up I will be ready to try it out. 😀😀😀 Steve Edited May 30, 2021 by Steve crawford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve crawford Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Shot my rifle yesterday. It had no felt recoil and I even got a group or two at fifty yards. I also found out that I HATE the EOTEC for shooting paper. After I shot a few rounds at fifty yards I did not try it at 100 yards. I could not see the target with that sight. I am glad I ordered the Armalite buffer system. I think it would have had a lot of kick with that 3.4 oz. buffer the gun shop used with the adjustable stock I had them install. I have learned enough now that I will try to do my own mods from now own. No failures with the Armsco 147 FMJ factory loads. I also need to find a very slim amplified hearing muffs because mine interfere with the buttstock when I try to line up with the sight. I have hearing aids because I did not use hearing protectors when I was younger. Can't take more damage to my ears. Now I just need to load some ammo and go shooting again. 😊😊😊 Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 That’s great to hear. Always like it when something works out. I have to use foam plugs when shooting the rifles. My fat head and ear muffs never work out right. I’m sure there’s a more proper technique I should be applying, but I just switch up to plugs when running the rifles.

Steve crawford Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Plugs won't work for me. If I used plugs I could not hear any range commands at all. I am def without my hearing aids. They work well with electronic muffs. I can hear better with the muffs on than I can with just the aids. Funny how that works. The report of the rifles are not loud at all with the combo. 🥴🥴🥴 Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I’ve been thinking of trying some of those walker ear buds. Haven’t convinced myself to buy a set yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuckgaucho Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 https://forum.308ar.com/topic/20936-walker’s-electronic-ear-muffs/ Thread from a while back. I picked up a set of Surefire EP7 and been pretty happy with them. Able to have conversation in loud environments( tried them at work). I would liken that wearing them is like watching a war movie on TV, even though the gun fire is louder it's still within a comfortable range but conversation still possible. They wouldn't be my go to at the Knob Creek Shoot but for shooting in the bush or hunting definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I received them as a gift, and now having used them I realize I should have bought them years ago. I've tried everything in my career, and those damn things are awesome. If these ever break or get damaged, I'll buy another set without hesitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Well, I guess that settles it. Which set do you have @JBMatt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes with a hard plastic case that recharges them when you put them in it. They have blue tooth and a bunch of fancy poop that I'll probably never use, but damn they work good. At least for me.
