    Re: 308 AR mutt build Why 80%? Sure, I like to build stuff and have access to the machinery. Not for $ saving.

    308 AR mutt build

    Ok guys, I am building a 308 AR that's a bit of a mutt. It's got the following stuff in it. Barrel from friend's Cobb MCR in .308 and free float tube Armalite AR10 bolt carrier group (headspaces to barrel fine) EGW 0.875" gas block DPMS upper/charging handle AR15 standard rifle length gas tube...

    overgassed effect on accuracy ?

    Re: overgassed effect on accuracy ? "The high speed movies of AR-15's firing and cycling show the carrier already in motion backwards when the bullet exits the bore." Can you supply a link? I'd actually like to see this. For what it's worth, I use an adjustable gas block on my .308 AR's...

    overgassed effect on accuracy ?

    Re: overgassed effect on accuracy ? Bear in mind that the bullet should be traveling @ supersonic velocity at the gas port, and it's got what, 6" max or so to go to the muzzle. Now consider that the pressure wave has to travel ~11-12" to get to the carrier (AR rifle length gas here), and it...

    Gunsmithing Question about POF 308 marking up brass

    Re: Question about POF 308 marking up brass It's 100% the scrapey-scrape on the locking lug at extraction. If you polish the edges/corners of the locking lugs that will lessen greatly. That's what I did at least. Advise removing barrel ass'y from receiver if possible...

    Recommend a semi-auto for snow country hunting

    Re: Recommend a semi-auto for snow country hunting As I understand it, the delayed roller blowback action is the most reliable in cold weather. I have seen an HK rifle that (as I recall) took G3 mags that was a sporting type rifle. Wood, machined receiver, etc. It was a pretty neat rifle...

    Synthetic Motor Oil to lube their AR 15?

    Re: Synthetic Motor Oil to lube their AR 15? Redline assembly lube is mo' betta. Stuff stays around and in place up to 500F plus. Good in cold too that I've seen.

    Colts New Rifle

    Re: Colts New Rifle I thought the Colt rifle was kind of cool. They left themselves some room to expand on it too. From what the engineers told me there are going to be some add ons that they are going to come out with. Yeah, they're late or whatever, but it's another choice that's out...

    Issues with DPMS

    Re: Issues with DPMS My barrel nut was loose on the upper I bought. Went from a ~6 MOA gun to 0.5 MOA so far.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon 5-25x Failure

    Re: Falcon 5-25x Failure Yeah, I searched around and saw a couple of threads, but they were more like 1 year down the road things. The interesting thing is that I had a ~.500 group going, and the last shot was a flyer ~1" high or so. Didn't think I pulled it either. hmmm

    Rifle Scopes Falcon 5-25x Failure

    Well, my 5-25 falcon died today, couldn't turn the mag ring but a little bit and the reticle twists with it now-- in addition to shift of reticle. Great. Anyone else had issues with these scopes?

    Gas Gun Trigger Pull Question

    Re: Gas Gun Trigger Pull Question I see it as henschman does, that the gas gun challenge lies in lock time. I don't agree that a gas gun has more going on b/t trigger pull and bullet leaving the barrel. All that other stuff (cycling) happens after the horse has already left the barn...

    Gas Gun Trigger Pull Question

    Re: Gas Gun Trigger Pull Question Right, I'd think a 10/22 has similar lock time to an AR for example (still a hammer fired FCG).

    Gas Gun Trigger Pull Question

    Gents, Many comments have been made here and there about the gas guns being more difficult to drive. How different to gas gun recoil would a blowback gun (I'm thinking 10/22 here) be? I'm thinking it would be similar to a gas gun, but please discuss...
