The terms and nomenclature will be my first to learn and maybe poking around for a schematic that shows components, as in what you'd by buying off the shelf with a build (or what you'd be selecting in a store-bought order) would be really helpful. And dang, sifting the wheat from the chaff with all the in the paid-for Youtube videos is tuff. I've learned a boat load about vintage levers, Marlin 1893s, etc, and Marlin Ballards, since I shoot BPCR matches, so at least I have that experience of digging to fall back on. Finding out what you no longer retain about the ARs in astonishing. I can still manage my M1A like it was yesterday but I guess I jettisoned the M16 stuff from my head. 47 years is a long time - and I was prejudice towards the .308 even at 18 yrs old! JF89... I said I Googled and included the key words. I was on Internet explorer. Not sure what else I can say. Search Engine,??wouldn't that be google? I was answering the question of how I found this place. My bad for the mix up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down, on a weekend the @DNP property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been busier than the proverbial guy at the contest, and have not even looked at the boxes of parts for least a month... I need more time... More money would also be good... Actually, more money would be really good... I've got to look at everything and make sure I have what I need. I think I am still a couple bolts short of the necessary quantity... Maybe also gas tubes and sights... And I am still waiting on the 5.56 bolts from @Robocop1051 's contact, which should lead to a couple of AR-15 builds... One in .300 blackout, and the other in 5.56... Sumbitch... That means more uppers, lowers, barrels, handguards, parts kits, triggers, sights, gas blocks, gas tubes, buffer tubes, springs, and fixed length stocks... I'm gonna drop another grand and a half before I'm done, and I don't even have the fancy optics piced out yet... Yes, more money would be really good... Oh, and I have to talk to CA DoJ and get serial numbers squared away. If I gotta get those, I might as well build the AR-15s at the same time. Then a camp out at the @DNP ranch sounds like a great time. Maybe we can make it happen when the temperature differential is enough to inspire you to drive west... On the bright side, I did suggest a work buddy get on here and check out this forum... Dan is a super cool guy who shoots and reloads. He likes the idea of an AR style .338LM / .500 blackout, and should really meet Rob at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother, I don't need temp differential to inspire me to drive out there. I'd come out every weekend, just to give Dirk a pants-down hug... With a week of notice, I can let work know that I've got plans "this coming Saturday" so I can leave Friday night right after/from work. I'd be out there by 10:30pm Friday night. The car would be my preferred method of infiltration, and it's getting the body fixed right now, so it's at the auto body shop. As soon as I jail-break it, I'm down.

I don't think anyone needed to hear about that... I better order the 2 required bolts you recommended... Not this weekend, and not either of the following 2. I may be up in Rob's neck of the woods in two weeks. If so, I will have to rattle his cage. 2 hours ago, 98Z5V said: it's getting the body fixed Did you bend it on something? Are you OK?

You'll get the pants-down hug, too, so just brace yourself right now... 2. Motherfucker rear-ended me in STOPPED TRAFFIC, 3 weeks after I got it from Dirk. I've been dealing with that nightmare since 10 December 2018. Construction company truck, driven by their driver, and he was looking at his phone (I can't prove that, but I have pics of the cool brown leather recliner he had in the back of his "work truck" that day...). Traffic backed up 1/2 mile at a stop light - he stops 50 yards behind me... for a couple minutes, literally, he's 50 yards back, sitting there. Then, I see 2013 Toyota Tundra chrome grill and SMASH in the rearview... Shiit flew everywhere. Right rear quarter damage on the car, because the jackass swerved at the last minute, before he crushed me. He tried to yank it off the road, but failed. After we get the car fixed, we get to talk about why I can't turn my head beyond certain ranges of motion, left and right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cooked a rib-eye that tape-measured 1.5" thick tonight. I had to put the calipers to it (digital vernier's) to verify. My tape measure lied to me, telling me 1.5"... It was 1.448" thick.

Belt Fed Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I found it by looking for 308 parts, I thought hot damn, a 308 site. I signed up immediately and soon it unsigned me.lol, Luckily I found Tom and Matt on another site and ask what happened. Matt did something and I got back on, it kicked me back after a few post. I think Matt tried to get me back on three times, finally he told me to hang on cause the site was goin to be updated. A few days later he told me to sign back up, my old username was good. So I did and it works fine now. I don't know if I was the only one having a problem or not. But the update fixed it for me. I've made 123 post and not booted yet. I thank those that got me back on and went to the trouble. I think I did kinda harass Tom and Matt begging to get back on.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belt Fed Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Thanks, I believe it's all fixed now. I don't get alerts on new post in threads I subscribe too. only if they quote me do I get one. It won't let me turn it on in settings. says administration has disabled that feature. but it's ok.

I'll do a post about the specific upper , lower, and adj gas block I just purchased from them and add to the stockpile of info.

Every PA-10 is different, literally, over the years. It all comes down to what they put together, and shipped you - which more comes down to determining what you received. Measurements, measurements, measurements... That's the only way to find out what you're really working with, and what you need to solve to make it functional in all aspects of it's operation...
