Rsquared Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 You can never go wrong with Larue. And this is coming from a guy with ADM mounts too. Larue, Bobro, ADM......any of the three are pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys make a rock solid mount, full of features, and with some fantastic machine work. Small outfit so lots of stuff is made when ordered. http://shop.aadmount.com/main.sc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApexJunky Posted May 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) She’s naked! I don’t have an AR10 vice block so I’ll ask my local gunsmith remove the flash hider, barrel nut and the staked buffer tube nut. Speaking of the cerakote job, this is the “vibe” I’ve requested for both the pistol and rifle to look like: Magpul FDE & black hardware Excited… Edited May 18, 2022 by ApexJunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexJunky Posted May 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Question for the masses: What is the proper gas port diameter? I’m going to have it checked when it’s disassembled and, if necessary, opened up to the proper spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger that, I was plugging the numbers for a .936 gas block journal, wasn't real sure which direction the number would be swayed by the gas block journal size.

ApexJunky Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Rifle is still with my buddy and hasn’t been cerakoted just yet. We both work for the same facility that’s on about day 66? of a site wide turnaround. Needless to say, he’s tied up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexJunky Posted November 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Now it just needs to be reassembled! The stock didn’t come out great but I’m not super worried about it. Since it’s Magpul FDE cerakote, I may just buy one in FDE. Purely an aesthetic item but I’m not sure if I like the black hand guard covers now. I’ll have to see it fully assembled to be sure.

Rsquared Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Lookin good. And a little contrast with the HG covers never hurts. Or just rattle can them afterwards if they bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApexJunky Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Gunsmith reported the gas port measured .088” and he opened it up to the .093” that I requested. She’s a beaut, Clark 👌🏻Now she needs a nice sling and a suppressor mount/brake. She’s also dry as a bone and needs some attention. With the holidays upon us and a race event next Sunday, I’m not sure when I’ll find time for a range day. Hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hey, hobbies are hobbies - be glad you have them and do them. It's always a competition between the two (or eight), but that doesn't mean than they're all not fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
