Lots of very old communists are wanting to relive the feelings of their youth right now. Their advanced age comes with absolute distain for others and the complete lack of empathy common in the echo chamber elderly.

That and they have dumber-than rocks young brainwashed (and mentally-ill drugged up) foot soldiers who think literally everyone is a Nazi… and they are fighting a holy war against fascists… when they don’t even know what a fascist is!!!

Making the whole movement dangerous beyond words…

I am interested in one for my FBI "inspired" model 70 build, but I'm curious about finished length and twist rate. I'd prefer 1-10, but if the group consensus is 1-12 I'll pass. Excited to see the finished product of everyone's builds on these.

Finish length on the Original M40A1's and A3's was 25". Measured from the front side of the recoil lug if I recall correctly is 24" finish. So closer to 25" finish by the time you add in the recoil lug and the breech thread length etc.... We will just make 27" blanks. Will put the .900" muzzle diameter @ 25" on the blank.

See my previous post on the twist. Not a big deal to us what each guy wants.

Rough finish: As I remember the story when we first got them, Gary rushed the first barrels for testing to Quantico and didn't have time to polish the outside after contouring. The guys running the test rifles loved the finish because as mentioned above, it held paint better and had less shine in an FFP, and requested the production barrels to have the same.

In the FMF, we loved the Schneiders for this trait. The barrel was a bitch to keep the shine down beforehand and was the cause of more than a few "busts" on stalks. I made a point of sending Schnieders to school with my PIGs when I was Chief Scout, they needed every edge they could get to make it through.

Frank, are you going to run a 12 twist? I've always thought about putting a 10 twist on mine because one, neither I nor anybody else would ever know the difference looking at it and two, I'm never going to need the ability to delink and shoot 147gr machine gun ammo. A 10 twist just shoots 175 SMKs better, and no offense to Bartlein as I love your barrels but if I'm already straying from an original manufacturer of M40A1 barrels, I may as well stray from twist rate while I'm at it to something that shoots better. If a clone correct critic gets on me for it, I'll tell them to go find a fucking pole. IYKYK.

Either way, put me down for one.

We can do whatever twist you guys want. If some guys want a 10 and some a 12. Will just split the orders. Won't make any cost difference. It's not a big deal. Even if you want an 11 twist. All the orders will have each persons name on it anyways. Will just run them all at one time in one batch.

The original M40 barrels where all spec'd as 1-10 twist. The actual spec on the A1 and A3 barrels is 12 twist. I think even the A5's was 12 also but the A6's if I recall correctly went back to a 10 twist.

I did a 10 twist on mine. Why? Gives me more options for bullets to shoot. I'm really liking the new 169SMK's. Have a higher BC than the 175's and will knock on the door of the 180's and even some 190's. The 169's need something like a 11.02 twist minimum to fly. I've shot them out of my M14 with an 11 twist barrel and they shot great. Even coming out at 2500fps. Out of my A1 build they are running right at 2700fps.

So it's your call on what twist you want. Will make whatever you want.

Like you said, "If a clone correct critic gets on me for it, I'll tell them to go find a fucking pole." It's still a clone build and not an original. Who gives a crap. If some dude has to ask and doesn't like it... go pound sand!

When the "Space Station Stowaways" finally get back to earth, and have their feet on actual soil.... I can imagine the clamoring of lawyers wanting to take their case.

That "3 Hour Tour" which GilliBoeing offered sure turned into something completely different for almost a year, right? Methinks we haven't seen the last of this court-room gong-show yet.

About the only thing missing from all this, is the Unknown Comic.

Yup.
It's a 1974 which means it has some neat one year only features. It also means, unfortunately, it needs some one year only parts..

The thing I remember about the X1/9 was that you had to pull the motor for some mundane task. Can’t recall, but think it was for something as easy as changing spark plugs or something like that. Do you plan to keep it mostly stock, or do a motor swap, change up the suspension and brakes, etc.?

Regardless, good luck with the build, and try (try) to have fun with it… The shared experiences are the only part that matters.

They, teachers, were looking for a summertime job for extra money. I offered what they were asking for but didn't take the offer. You should have ended your statement at " they just didn't want to work"
There's no requirement to be at dances, coach or be part of after school activities. Grading papers, Ohh nooo. You didn't get it done during the planning period or lunch hour and you had to take it home. Boo fucking hoo. It's not an everyday thing.
7 to 4 or 5?? So you don't know when you are going to finish every day? School here starts at 8 and the kids are in line for the bus at 3. By 3:30 the school parking lot is empty save a few cars.
Even in the poor county I live in the teachers have assistants.

I swear a drama course is a requirement to get a teacher's certificate.

Your first line and my last. I have the reading disablity. 🤣🤣🤣

to quote myself.

You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. I am neither a teacher nor married to one.

I went back an actually read your post. Ya fucking retarded. No that's not how it works. No teachers don't walk in with kids at 8. No teacher don't always know when their day will end. It depends on how long it takes them to finish their work, but also depends on if they have to run or be at after school activities.

I finally got the motor into the Monte Carlo. I had to reshape the a/c air box to get it in which required several times test fitting the motor in. I really didn't want to delete the a/c so I am pretty happy that I got it to fit. It's tight on the brake booster too.

I got the accessories installed on the motor, the front end put back on and sorted through the electrical and plumbing stuff, driveshaft made and the transmission plumbing done.

8-3 my ass.

They get paid for the days they work was the point of bringing up contract length. And they get paid by the day not the hour and many work 7 until 4 or 5 then go shaparone dances go to games coach after school activities or grade papers for hours after that. Grade papers on their 30 minute lunch break. 🤣🤣🤣 if they wanna not getting far though.

Lots of lazy people don't want an extra job, not just teachers. Or maybe they just didn't want to work for you since you seem to have it for them.

Teachers assistants. 🤣🤣🤣

Little disappointed with the bridge on the new Pro forend. The pic rail puts it all way higher than previously for clip on use. It's so high in fact i needed to shave the rail down a little to get the bell to clear. Rings are 1.5" for reference.

The new Pro forend is great otherwise. It's exactly what the W3 has been needing. But I'll wait for a bridge with built in pic rail thats lower before switching the rest of my W3s out.

Can you confirm what material the mag well piece is made of, and whether it is removable or not? If it's polymer and removable, there's hope for an aluminum or other future options for swapping out the mag well then. Thanks in advance!
