I checked out some of the EoTech scopes a couple weeks ago at the NRA Convention. They were nice. DSG right now has a sale on EoTechs too.

98Z5V Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Gun Pusher sends me a text this morning... "I ordered your lower and bolt, FYI..." My response... "What the hell are you talking about, man?..." Gun Pusher... "M5 lower and BCG. On the way." So, I had to call him, thinking he sent me a text, when it should have gone to someone else... He says, "You told me you're building a .260 Rem, Aero has a killer sale for me right now, so I've got it coming. It'll be here when you need it." THAT is a good Gun Pusher... So, I guess I've got something on order, or in the mail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told him to get cams and get the ECU reflashed. He's got the cams, already. As soon as the reflashed ECU comes back, I make his rig faster... ...and he owes me something... Last time I did work for him, it was a free AP Ambi lower receiver, in FDE of course... It's a beautiful relationship...

Get with me on reloading info -the Hornady 10 manual is a little off for velocity, and their load data has the real rounds running hotter than published speeds. It's either that, or I have two different barrels (from two different manufacturers) that are shooting great, and shoot hotter than most others. I don't think it's the barrels.

I relayed that convo to Rob, and gamed it all out - with everything I need for this fall shoot, its gonna be tough to get it all together in time... SO, why not just buy the barrel and rebarrel an old 308 that I don't shoot?... I did steal the idea from you, though, brother... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Have at it! I know it will turn out good! I am going to order one from that place you recommended when I am ready. Will probably be PMing you for advice when I do. Got the barrel nut and torque wrench but I have never done an AR10 barrel before, just AR15's.

unforgiven Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Had an idea of putting together a carbine in 5.56 with hand picked parts. Was going to be a WOA upper w/ side charger. Added Faxon Gunner w/ attached brake. The upper is a bueaty but not thinking it through the handle to the carrier goes on with about 3 threads. Been between 2 house's just sold ours. This will go over a Lancer lower. This has been a little stressful with this house stuff. You doing okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 4 minutes ago, jtallen83 said: Saw that for sale somewhere, glad you volunteered for a review! Yes I already have that in the 5.56 calibration and I'm quite pleased with it. Actually brought my eyesight back to what it was half my life ago. Glass is very clear for that type of optic. I got the 5.56 version earlier this year from Optics Planet. Had it out to the range once on the BCM A4 rifle and it functioned real well with the zero never drifting at all. The 7.62 calibration I ordered late Friday from Botach Tactical for a little over $500.00, which is a significant sale price and free shipping. Steiner is phasing the 5X out and replacing it with a 4X model that is supposedly upgraded. Steiner had an example of it at the NRA convention earlier this month. It was pretty much the same optic but with some subtle changes. Personally I prefer the 5X they're phasing out to what I saw the replacement is. By the way ... Brownells had a functional example of the retro ArmaLite AR10 there on display. IMHO it was quite impressive. Very light weapon for the 7.62x51 NATO caliber. The charging handle was interesting indeed. ArmaLite had an example of one of the same AR10 originals there but understandably encased. IMHO Brownells did a very good job and got their version real close. Here's wishing everyone a blessed Memorial Day weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You doing okay A OK here so far, three more weeks and step 1 is done, no issues from the treatment yet. 4 moves last year and three already this year, not much stress for me but then I only move a few boxes and guns and then it's only a lease that the government covers when I break it Looking forward to seeing the side charger thing, been thinking of one down the road but want to watch a few first and learn from others mistakes. Hope you get all settled in soon, hate it when you gotta spend time searching for what you know you have but don't remember the box it went in!
