AR 308 vs. Armalite AR10 rifle length gas tube specs
Anyone having issues with cycling with a .308 rifle length gas system, you may be using a too short AR tube. Just spent too much time figuring that out. Went from a spastic cycling gun to a very consistent one switching to an Armalite rifle length gas tube. Only a difference of .250 -.375", but...

Re: To be digital or to not be digital- safe edition
Dial all the way if you have a choice. Even they can mess up, particularly if the combo was not set super precise. My new safe was hard to perfectly dial, until it stopped opening: Got it open and a new lock from Liberty. The combo re-set by a locksmith. Was fine but I changed the combo myself later...

Re: Armalite AR10B
Good summation. I picked up an AR-10 at a local shop shortly after the 2008 election and was astonished at the weight. Ended up buying a DPMS lower and diving into the build-your-own universe. Still modifying and tweaking it all these years later. Still weights at least 2lbs less than Armalite's. On...

Re: Garand Thumb tests a $400 PSA upper
My understanding is that FN still makes the CHF barrels for PSA's "Premium" line, and that DC Machine (a PSA company) makes the other PSA branded barrels. Didn't know who made the cheap barrels, but this arrangement is what I understood. This is why I was irked that PSA did not want the g...

Re: Garand Thumb tests a $400 PSA upper
They are probably selling all they can make. Most AR guys are not into accuracy, just the bang. I suspect it is an outside barrel supplier that makes them to a price point. I offered to send the lousy barrel back so they could QC inspect the thing. They were not interested, which says a lot IMHO. Th...

Re: Garand Thumb tests a $400 PSA upper
Did PSA make it right? They sent me two (1 extra) barrels. Both exhibit slightly off center chamber reaming, but nowhere as bad as the first one. The evidence of this is the rifling not starting with all at the same distance into the bore. Built a spare upper with the "best" one and set i...

Re: Ads from the good old days
The mass shootings must have been every day with all those easy to buy firearms.
Oh wait, there were no mass shootings?

Re: The coming terrorist attacks
"in conformity with the law"
Stopping to ponder the law is a great way to get killed, I think.

The "special" treatment and attitude of various agents of the government has p!ssed me of for quite a few years.

Re: Garand Thumb tests a $400 PSA upper
Wish they had examined the chamber reaming better.
I posted my disastrous PSA Freedom barrel with grossly off center chamber reaming.
Never again.

Re: I'm keeping 10mm
The Shield Plus is about 0.2" thinner than the 30. Big difference in bulk stuffed IWB.

Re: Videos of engagements
The cop doing the mag dump did it out of racism according to the prosecutor.
