    The double standard of “going green”

    The landfills are constantly emitting methane ... it's collected or mostly burned off. WM used to compress the methane and use it to refuel a few of their trucks ... the problem is that it is a very dirty gas compared to CNG/LNG. They also use(d) the methane to power some of the WTE plants.

    Thinking of getting into the reloading game.

    Now that's the set up ... a lot of money in that 6' of bench space - but it cost so much he can't afford the lights and electricity to see it! Just a joke ... we all know you can afford it! Great looking set up.

    Facing an AR receiver. Does it matter?

    How did you go about measuring the relationship between the face of the receiver and the bore to determine the it was "squared up" after removing a bunch of metal? You removed so much metal that it was off 10-15 MOA at 50 yd ? not sure how that would give you the confidence that it is "MUCH...

    Rebarrel Rem 700 .243 to .308 WIN-Worth it?

    Just because you remove a barrel and install a new one doesn't mean that the old barrel can't go back on if you're sentimental about it. Any way you slice it a standard Remington 243 or 308 built in the early 1990's in't going to increase its value by any significant means.... no real shame there

    G43x light strikes

    Regardless of the thoughts on the WWB or Remington Ammo, it's not going to fail every 15 rounds on average. I'd put my money on the pistol causing the issue. In a working pistol you could take 10 boxes of either brand and wouldn't get anywhere near that level of failure ...if any.

    Facing an AR receiver. Does it matter?

    I definitely understand the time crunch. If it were me I'd start with the barrel extension to receiver fit first and then move to the facing ... just me .... but it's your experiment

    Facing an AR receiver. Does it matter?

    Just a suggestion, But if you are going to test for a variable, don't try to introduce multiple changes and try to draw inferences back to a single variable. For instance if you are testing for the facing of a receiver, don't try to add in shimming and bedding the receiver extension at the same...

    Soft Shooting .223

    If this is a self defense gun, I wouldn't be looking for soft ... I'd be looking for hard hitting hammers to stop a threat. I removed my 223 barrel and went 300BLK with heavies. Is it really the recoil of a 223 that is bothering you or the muzzle blast? Even standard 223 rounds don't...

    Facing AR-15 receiver

    I hear what you're saying and that's why I stated that everyone understands the concept, but you have to admit ... there's a lot of assumption in the majority of the comments made regarding the subject and little to no measurements.
