    Promag stock for M14

    Unless I somehow missed the part where your buddy is receiving an M21 or M25 in one of your posts above, you are both HALLUCINATING if you think you are going to get a bone stock M14 mil-surp hand-down for department issue to shoot at that level! Don't mean to be a downer, but just trying to be...

    My new Bastard/Frankenstein AR308

    Very, VERY NICE, Ian!!! By far one of the nicest home-brews I have witnessed in a while. Your smith did an excellent job milling out the side-CH relief. I've seen some that were allegedly done on proper equipment that looked like a Dremel went rogue and had at the upper receiver!! ;)...

    Paid membership available for this site?

    What exactly do you mean? There is the online training component which is a "pay-to-play" add-on. There is also the "new member" section for folks without the requisite number of membership days/posts who want to "pay" for the privilege of selling their stuff. There are also "membership"...

    Promag stock for M14

    If it "still technically belongs to the military" or someone other than your friend (dept issuing it, etc.), he'd best be damned sure that he can do ANYTHING to it before proceeding...especially with looking into ~$300 stocks/chassis for the rifle or other costly "upgrades." Many departments...

    Make your own HEAVY BUFFER

    The best method is by far going to an adjustable block and dealing with overgassing/fine-tuning of the operating system at the source of the problem, but as you observed, that isn't always the easiest thing to do. It all depends on which make/model/mounting-type of CF handguard you are running...

    Has anyone built on a Hogan/POF 308 builder's kit?

    I think you'll need the Hogan/POF wrench if memory serves because I don't think that a basic AR-15 or alternate large-frame AR wrench of either DPMS/KAC or Armalite pattern will work on the proprietary heat-sink bbl nut setup that they use. Hogan sells them for ~$40 + S&H (just don't go to...

    Promag stock for M14

    ProMag ANYTHING = SHITE!!! Their products are well-renowned as some of the largest piles of crap across the board, especially but not limited to their mags in particular. The Archangel M1A stock, at least the two examples I have seen, all suffered from some miserable QC. The finish was REALLY...

    FTF issues with AR 10

    The issues you are experiencing are NOT within normal (or anywhere close to it) with your POF. I have owned (and still own) several POF rifles, including a P-308 20" that is one of my go-to rifles and it has been nothing short of 100% from the get-go in terms of reliability with a wide array of...

    FTF issues with AR 10

    What does "fails to feed and jams every so often" really mean? What, specifically, is the FTF (or "jam") in question? (Failing to pick up a round from the mag? Hanging up when being stripped from the mag? Jamming the round into the barrel extension somewhere and not into the chamber? etc...

    Matrix AeroSpace AR10 build looking for recommended barrel for 6.5 Creedmoor

    Aside from a very, VERY limited run of Noveske N6 barrels that were released in 6.5 Creedmoor a while back, I am not aware of ANY regular production barrels for the Armalite-pattern rifle platform. The Noveske's didn't last long and the couple I've seen pop up have commanded ABSURD prices (so...

    Keymod accessory rails

    Ok...stupid question time...BUT... Have you tried loosening the two screws up a good ways (they are captive/staked in place...no worries on losing them) and then attempting to push the rail section in (through the larger holes) and then slide it forward until the integral locking/recoils...

    Help me accurize my 6920

    ;) Welcome to the Internet! ;) I think you've got a good start with the Geissele trigger and handguard upgrade, along with the an adjustable block. You might also have a look at the SLR Rifleworks newest "Sentry" blocks which are excellent products and offer some advantages over the Syrac in...

    Help me accurize my 6920

    It is your carbine and ultimately, whatever you do, you'll have to live with it and the results you achieve. You've received a ton of good advice to date in this thread...only you can ultimately decide what's best for YOU and what you want/need out of the rifle with any upgrades, whether a...

    Ft Hood...again?!?

    +1 on this. One known shooter is dead...many personnel allegedly injured but no details released yet on numbers/condition of the injured. Base is still on high alert with a shelter-in-place in effect until they have confirmed there are no further active shooters, etc., etc.

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    The new, Gen 2 Syrac and the SLR Sentry blocks share a lot more in common that their earlier, respective generations did. They are both high quality blocks, offer similar adjustment systems (click-detent, 15-16 position) and are both single-tool, front adjustable. The devil is always in the...

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    See here: Sentry 9 Series As I said above in one of my earlier posts...since you'll be running the block under your handguard, you'll need to measure (TWICE) to ensure that the SLR block will have sufficient clearance without touching the ID of your rail, but I can personally attest to the...

    Make your own HEAVY BUFFER

    In addition to people being "cheap" I think a lot of it has to do with being "stupid" or some approximation of stupid anyway be it caused by a lack of education on what "good" ammo is and thinking that if it goes bang reliably, it must be good enough, or they otherwise bought a load of it for...

    Muzzle Brake Torque Affect Accuracy?

    Brakes, flash hiders, suppressors, etc., can and do have effects on accuracy in a number of different ways which can be either positive or negative, and not just based solely upon how they are torqued (under-, over-, or properly to spec) on the barrel. Any number of factors can impact accuracy...

    Man's inhumanity to his fellow men

    The important question, however, is did the victim receive any "complimentary" dildo dust and stickers with his new ink?!?! ;) Well done, Veer...well done!!!
