    Ar Gas System Help!

    Ar stoner barrel from midway. I didn't skimp on thr barrel that's a pretty vital part. SS fluted. The stock was cheap and I knew going into it I would have to get a new buffer. The price out weighed the cost of the alternative. Someone local had it still in the original packaging unused and had...

    Ar Gas System Help!

    A new buffer was already ordered so no worries there. Just because I wanted a better one. I knew what I had was a cheapo but got a good deal on the setup. Also I am pretty sure I can handle putting a gas block on so no need to ship it out, but thanks for the offer.

    Ar Gas System Help!

    I would agree with you but, since it is doing the same thing on the other lower that uses a rifle buffer and spring I am leaning towards gas issue. That is not a black buffer.

    About 2:40 shows what it is doing. Black buffer.

    Ar Gas System Help!

    H335 with a 55g projectile loaded to 24g. Yes even ring. Hard to see in the image since I wiped down a bit. I am wondering if this is something I can do as far as opening the port goes? Along with the spring would it be wise to get a heavier buffer?

    Vortex Cantilever Mount

    Both will be bench rifles. At this moment I am able to purchase a similar setup like I have on mine for my wife. This way when she goes with me I can move from one to another and use the open sights on mine. I have moved a few times fine tuning the placement even after sighting and has not...

    Vortex Cantilever Mount

    Ok so I have one and was wondering if there is a conversion kit or where I can find the needed parts to convert one to have a quick release. I have searched all over can't find what I need.

    Reloading Data

    That's another odd one. Hodgdon and Hornady list 2.20 and Lyman lists 2.26. I ultimately went with the powder manufacturer on this round of loads.

    Reloading Data

    Yeah that was some I saw as well. Kind of reassuring that there are others using ither info besides the hornady book. Just makes me wonder why so conservative in their data.

    Reloading Data

    Even there, they didn't list the fmjbt with h335. I have been going off the spr sp which is the closest I believe from what I have read.

    Reloading Data

    That's the thing hodgdon lists 23-25.3 that makes it even more confusing. I am wondering if I should just load a 23 and see where it goes. That puts me on the low end of both lyman and hodgdon but the upper end of hornady. The armscors and hornady are identical.

    Reloading Data

    Ok so have the Lyman 49th edition and the Hornady 10th edition manuals. Both give a very different scale for loading. I am using hornady fmjbt and also have some speer tmj I am going to use up. H335 is the powder I am using. The issue is Lyman lists 24.3-27 whereas hornady lists 20.8-23.2 and...

    Schooled

    Was an old school nurse. I actually did just that and he had nothing to say. I proceeded to tell him the only differences between my 270 which is semi vs this one was the looks and that this one has nice magazines. He said you mean the clips. I corrected him again and said no, magazines.

    Schooled

    So i completely schooled someone regarding firearms. Was showing my 223 to someone and they said oh that's an assault rifle. Now this made my blood boil. So I pulled up the actual definition for them and proceeded to tell them the difference between what they and the media consider an assault...

    My Critter Gitter

    So finally got a chance to go to the range yesterday. Put around 70-80 rds through it and went good. My only issue, which may not be, is I don't remember the brass deflector on my m16 showing signs of brass actually hitting it. I realize that the has system is different so that could be playing...

    I may have to rethink one for appendix. Always assumed from the few images I have seen that they couldn't cant away from the junk/femoral artery region. I definitely would have to be anywhere from 1 to 2 position due to my manly figure haha. The wife is going to hate me when I tell her I am...

    Around the same spot as you. I really think it's a combo of the grip and my excess side weight!

    Yeah this is the 40c. Checked with them and they don't. The nice thing is I can do their OWB holster for my xds 4 then just swap the shells and have the 40 owb and xds iwb.

    Hey folks. I have been trying out the Alien Gear cloak tuck 3.0 for my M&P. I really do like it except for the rubbing from the pistol grip. I have been just wearing around the house to get used to it and the rubbing sucks. I do wear my t shirts tucked in so it is not rubbing directly on the...

    Thanks I really hope all of the info is true. Just knowing that I can carry is what I wanting. The odds that I will any time soon are very slim. I want to be 100% comfortable with my firearm that I intend to carry.

    That's not bad at all, well the part about receiving the items. Wow 4 weeks for an amendment? They are same day here. That is just insanely stupid IMO.

    I have had my permit for just over a week. While I was at my interview I had inquired about the restrictions and was told since they were listed they were going to be put on. I was also informed that as soon as I get it to submit a letter and he would be removing them.

    Not that I am aware of. From what I have been told, by someone who was approved and has zero training, they are being approved after a letter of request is sent.
