Tightest Lockup Receiver Set

Raising threads from the dead...

Just had a buddy buy a receiver set that wasn't cheap and was a little more rattle trappy than one would have expected, so I took some reference measurements for him to set the expectation on an exchange, which they agreed to do.

With that said, I'm not here to beat them up, but rather give props to Noveske and SOLGW.

The one ID'd as 718 is an older factory rifle, 556 10.5", and shoots lights out.

399 and 141 started as stripped matched sets, purchased in the past 3 years, were built into Grendels with Noveske barrels, and both put 5 rounds into .6 MOA with boring reliability. 399 obviously feels tight, when it was stripped you didn't need pins for the lower to stay stuck, but as a built gun doesn't require anything more than a round in hand to push out the pin #Noveske

Good on SOLGW for managing to hold .002" across 4 interfaces.

The MEGA's are several years old and have been shot a bit, both are 16" 308's and do well.

However, that chamber will once again be out of spec.

He’s still within spec, though, technically - SAAMI allows .010 for chamber dimensions (1.3607-1.3707 at the datum). Shorter headspace is arguably a little better, but once his brass matches his chamber, he’s good to go. Probably goodness not running hotter stuff, though - Hornady factory stuff might show more issues, especially with the tight bore and longer headspace.

You’re spot on about having the smith who cuts the next barrel match fired brass minus a couple thousandths, just to save brass wear.

Time for you to eat some of your own shit boy:

Sally D. Murphy (born January 11, 1949)[1] is a retired colonel who served as a United States Army Aviator. She was the first female U.S. Army helicopter pilot to graduate from flight school at Fort Rucker, Alabama on June 4, 1974.[2] She served as a leader for units within the 330th Army Security Agency Company, 1st Infantry Division, the 62nd Aviation Company, and the 78th Aviation Battalion. In 2009, Murphy received the U.S. Army Freedom Team Salute Veteran Commendation to commemorate her 27 years of service and her place in military history.

19 fucking 74, so FUCK OFF!
So there was a competent female pilot 50 years ago? Jesus you are stupid.

Firearms I want to be banned.

bro its been 5 years, it’s still the same rifle and available?
I figured most were smart enough to figure out that this is another rifle, not from 5 years ago.

And you should be smart enough to know you have to be a supporter to post an item for sale. Try and skate that again by editing old posts and you will be banned.

BadgeCam from the Weezer Wife Shooting

I'm going to take you off of my blocked list for about 30 seconds to respond to such a stupid fucking comment from the #1 piece of shit on this site. Don't worry, I'll silence your useless ass again in just a moment.

I don't call the cops. I don’t fuck with cops. Wait, because this is the important part: I'm very rarely, and not at all in this thread or the other active acab thread even defending the cops.

Now, we all know that you are literally fucking stupid. It's really that simple, but I'll try again.

All I've pointed out is that if you do stupid shit when you encounter a cop or a group of cops, you deserve what you get. Imagine they aren't cops in every scenario. Imagine they are just a nervous dude with a gun, and all you have to do in almost every case, (there are clear and egregious exceptions to this) is act like an intelligent person and you won't get shot. Some cops should be better at dealing with people, and that accounts for plenty of these videos, but God damn it, a while lot of people should be better at dealing with cops.

If they tell you to drop your gun, don't read them the fucking preamble and quote case law while you swing your arms around, just drop the fucking gun. Rights don't stop bullets.

If they tell you that you're under arrest, do what any fucking lawyer on earth would tell you and cuff up and shut the fuck up. Everything you say can and will be used against you, and there is a nearly 0% chance that you're getting shot tonight.

Conversely, refuse to comply with orders from someone pointing a gun at you.... that's suicide by stupidity.

Starting a wrestling match with a cop is suicide by stupidity.


From the time I was 5 years old, my father made me understand that you don't call 911 until the situation is resolved. You handle it, fix the scene, get everyone's stories straight, then you call them. I'm not a cop lover, nor am I a cop hater. They are neccessary and also very flawed, well......because they are humans, millions of humans, some good, some bad, most pretty decent folks.


I'm not an advocate for anything except people not acting like morons and getting themselves killed in a police interaction. You'll, (almost, can't say never) get yourself shot by complying with instructions from a police officer. Your odds increase exponentially with every level of resistance, and any lawyer on the planet will tell you to follow their instructions and shut the fuck up. You aren't arguing your way out of anything anyways, and you damn sure aren't wrestling out of it without consequences..
A grown man says that he doesn't have the ability to skip past written words and has to use an Internet tool to protect him from those terrible things he might read.
But sadly she didn't encounter them. The King's men came to her property and demanded that she disarm.

Back to your safe place. I hope you have some kittens, bunnies or something soft to soothe your angst of the written word
