cheap adjustable gas blocks 30 bucks
173rdABN replied to Dustbuster's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I use that same block on a prototype upper I'm working with right now. Been using it for a couple months with zero complaints. Never touched the brass screw. Just left it where it was when I got it and play with the set screw for adjustments and that's it. -
I used to just get mine at the PX or get it at supply in 1k rolls. Now, I just use Amazon. It's cheap and easy. Just got some off there for the mammoth sniper challenge befor I left. 550 is 550. Doubt you'll get a knock off My buddies Company also sells it. He's a good dude. Worked with him overseas. http://www.spiritussystems.com/new-products-1/omega-project-parachute-cord

I thought you were being serious??? I was about to text you asking if I could see the picture of you and Brian next to the helicopter! Man….. I'm super disappointed now... Skip the lame mid range match and come join us for this match! You know you miss out crap talking to each other and shenanigans. -

I have first hand experience with AAC customer service, and it was 2 weeks ago I used them funny enough. I got one of the bad un-heat treated latches on my SDN6 from a long time ago and the teeth finally worn down and wouldnt lock the can to the muzzle device. So, they paid shipping to them, and return shipping to me. And I had it within a week of sending it off. Was amazed how fast it came back, like seriously amazed. They did great. And my can looked like crap from me beating on it hard. All scratched up and what not. Came back looking like it was brand spanking new without a mark on it. So, moral of the story, don't underestimate AAC's customer service. Was top notch in my book.

I think this is a HORRIBLE idea.

Cleaning guns after shooting corrosive ammo
173rdABN replied to tercel89's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Dawn dish soap and as hot of water I can turn the sink up to. Clean it up decent with that in the sink, then air hose it off with the compressor in the garage and clean as normal. -
Mammoth Sniper Challenge (PIC HEAVY!)

Small world you live here in Nashville! -
Cant get the results link to work on your sight. Can you post the link here please?

I have a BUNCH of old powder from my grandfather from DuPont in metal cans. Still use it once in a while when I'm low on powder for certain calibers. Works flawless. As long as it was kept in a cool, dry place go for it.

Anyone have problems with Remington Large rifle primers?
173rdABN replied to Luke E.'s topic in Ammunition and Reloading
YUP. this, exactly. Haven't sold a single box of tulas on here. and I'm even $5 below Midsouth. People read the name Tula and run. -

173rdABN replied to Luke E.'s topic in Ammunition and Reloading
They had a 12-13 lot that was bad. and it was a very big lot (actually might have been a couple). couple of my friends also had the same issue with them as well. its all been figured out, so really no biggy. you might have just been one of the lucky ones that never got a box from the lot. -

173rdABN replied to Luke E.'s topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Tula had a bad rep with their 556 primers at first using ball powder. It had a delayed reaction. I made about 3,000-5,000 of them and noticed that. Sucked shooting them up, but they are finally all gone now. Their new stuff is hands down great. I have all these KV556M primers here that no one wants for $25 a box… well, fine with me, I'll just keep using them because they go bang every time and are super consistent. Heck, with Tac powder and a super heavy crimp I even got the SD down to 19.3 and ES at 30 I think. I'll take that any day for bulk 55gr 223. -

173rdABN replied to Luke E.'s topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Yes, I stopped using Remington primers years and years ago because I had the same issue. And it wasn't just a single lot issue. Happened with quite a few so I just gave up on them. -
Mammoth Sniper Challenge (PIC HEAVY!)
173rdABN replied to 173rdABN's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
Prize table for the Tough man division ( I was in tough man extreme) Now, this is something that really gets to me in a very good, deep way. These guys were in the same squad as me and I got to know them over the course of the match. Amazing gentlemen. The one shaking the kids hand is Travis, the VP of Lanxang Tactical. A new company that is going to be at SHOT this year and will be shipping their guns out to distributors Jan for 556 and Feb for 762. These guys sponsored two Rangers from 3rd batt for this match who were also in our squad with their 7.62 rifles, the VL34. So, these guns were designed by Travis and are phenomenal. I mean just all around great guns, period. $2,800 price tag when they come out, but worth every penny. They are designed to out perform the OBR and thats who they want to compete with and beat. And I think they will. Anyways….. So the kid is Wyatt. Hes been going to matches since he was 12 and doesn't always do that great. He's running a 6.5 Grendel if I remember right and it's hard for him to keep up with the other, better guns and calibers out there. So his dad says he can go to one match a year and he'll pull him out of school and take him, and this is the match he chooses. He's been doing it since he was 12 and is 15 now. Despite not doing very good he always comes back, is positive as can be and never complains. Travis noticed that, and awarded him a VL34 so he can compete next year. I was already impressed with these two gents from Lanxang Tactical, but after they did that it spoke volumes to me. Not only are they extremely nice and all around good dudes, they have hearts of gold. They made that kids year, and I'm sure he'll never forget it his entire life. He was looking kinda down durning the awards ceremony, occasionally smiling for others as their name was called. But mannnnnn his face was priceless when they awarded him that gun. I got it on camera and it was perfect because he was standing right up front and had no idea it was coming. http://youtu.be/eWOIlK6fnUo [url=http://s95.photobucket.com/user/eat7thirdythree/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/0E5382E9-0E6D-40BC-816C-F58E772CC2FB_zpsos997gyy.jpg.html][/URL] Again, BIG shout out to Lanxang tactical for doing that. Here is a link to their stuff. No I'm not affiliated, I just really like their character and quality products. http://www.lanxangtactical.com
