Feel free to swing by on your way through sometime.This AR FNG got his hands on one for the first time last month and now lies awake scheming away.....
Oh, you mean the proverbial gateway drugs.I am aware of Black Rifle Disease. I just had it under control with two calibers.
Genuinely enjoyed reading about the connection with your neighbor.
Nice hogs.
And, thank you for your service, sir!
Expecting a build thread in the near future!
Marines are a unique breed. Often when we find another Marine, we are like family, especially those who have so much in common.
Can agree/understand by proxy... was raised by a Marine.Marines are a unique breed. Often when we find another Marine, we are like family, especially those who have so much in common.
Also funny that it is the same two calibers that got you going.
My wife is adamant that I shouldn’t reload. She thinks I will blow myself up. I started shopping and made a list of the setup I would need back in 2012-2013 during the ammo shortage.
Reloading or not, I think I am going to need another safe soon.
At least she dont think the reloading stuff wiil cause cancer for everyone in the house...lol. i have a friend whos wife thinks all the re loading stuff causes cancer in the house.
I will reccomend getting a JP high pressure bolt when you go 6.5cm. Ive had issues with blown primers on Hornady American Gunner 140gr bthp.
After doing some research on line it seems to be a common problem with the 6.5cm. They say the firing pin hole on most .308bcg's is too large & causes over pressure sometimes. Ive read try using heavier buffer & adjustable gas block... but the common solution is the JP HP bolt.
I just ordered the JP HP BCG last night...we'll see if it makes it purrrr.
Let us all know how that goes. Definitely something to look for.
Heres the new JP HP bolt & firing pin compared to a normal & firing pin .308 bolt.

No, the full mass carrier with bolt was $400+.Those are fantastic, well worth the cost...Did you get the full mass carrier?
Found the lower for your A2 clone build.I carried an A2 back in the day...
