    Paypal woes...

    Re: Paypal woes... That same thing crossed my mind. I'm guessing my best course of action is to wait, get my money and then be done with them. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: tucker301</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Putting aside their policy and...

    Paypal woes...

    Since my wife doesn't want to hear about it, I'm hear to vent my frustration. First of all, I'm aware of paypal's refusal to deal much regarding anything firearms related. So when I posted several items on Gunbroker I did what lots of people do and specified that I'll accept a Postal money...

    FN 30-11, current setup (new scope)

    Re: FN 30-11, current setup (new scope) Had to take a look at this post to see what a FN 30-11 was. Looks like a neat rifle. Always nice to see someone pay attention to something thats an oldy, but a goody.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 10x40 or SWFA super sniper 10x40?

    Re: Bushnell Elite 10x40 or SWFA super sniper 10x40? Both are great scopes for the money, but the additional travel of the SWFA (30mm tube vs 1") and the parallax focus make it more popular amongst the long range shooters. Edit: mwroseberry beat me to it.

    DPMS vs Rock River in 6.8

    Re: DPMS vs Rock River in 6.8 Either one is fine, but for similar money he should consider a rifle from AR15Performance. Poke around the 68forums and you'll find gobs of positive reviews for their rifles and possible a few more builders your friend should think about.

    Winchester action for a build

    Re: Winchester action for a build I'm planning an FN SPR build myself. Think I'm going to have Woody from X-ring accurancy do the smithing work for me. His work has lots of compliments on the Hide and he seems plenty comfy working on the Winchester actions. Another suggestion would be Mark...

    FN SPR receiver threads - is this right?

    Re: FN SPR receiver threads - is this right? Thanks for the reassurances! This is my first bolt gun build and want it to start off right.

    FN SPR receiver threads - is this right?

    Recently I acquired a FN SPR action and while looking it over I noticed that the threads had two cuts on either side. Winchester actions require an extractor cutout on the barrel threads but I was surprised to see grooves on either side of the female threads. Is this how they all are...

    $10,000,000in cocaine and a revoked licsense

    Re: $10,000,000in cocaine and a revoked licsense Read this earlier today. Thought it was rather amusing that the cops bothered to cite the guy for his suspended license and no insurance after he gets busted for trucking around 200 pounds of cocaine.

    rainier 308 barrels

    Re: rainier 308 barrels The DPMS style 308 AR's use AR-15 gas tubes. The true AR-10's use different lenghts. Any AR-15 gas block that is the correct diameter will work just fine. The barrel description should include the gas block diameter.

    CMMG .308 CUSTOM

    Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM Quite a few of the 308 AR's have no forward assist as most of the bolts don't have the scallop grooves for the FA. From what I hear, nobody seems to be miss it.

    Quick Q about hand guards.

    Re: Quick Q about hand guards. The new DPMS recievers are actually lower. If you take a peek at Troy Industries website they clarify the height difference very well. DPMS reciever PDF

    NO LOVE FOR HOGAN

    Re: NO LOVE FOR HOGAN This is what I was thinking. Direct competition should make a better product at a possibly better price for the customer. Although if news were to appear that one company definitely screwed the other, that would sway my choice when choosing my purchase. <div...

    Rifle Scopes DAMNIT. I'm flinching with my 308

    Re: DAMNIT. I'm flinching with my 308 Lots of good info here. I also find my self anticipating the shot (DPMS 308) and often times my whole body will tense up. The dry firing technique sounds like a good place to start for corrective action.

    Rifle Scopes LT-104 vs. LT-158

    Re: LT-104 vs. LT-158 I have a 158 mounted on a DPMS 308. My scope has a 50mm objective with flip caps, but my tube is only 1" which lowers the scope. The bell clears by a hair, but I'm unsure about the BUIS.

    Bolt Carrier Group: to chrome or not to chrome....

    Re: Bolt Carrier Group: to chrome or not to chrome.... Wouldn't mind knowing this myself. I've heard claims that the Failzero(?) coating offers advantages.
