[quote name="Gotthegoods" post="1167564" timestamp="1405096074"]Does Ti have different properties when being machined?[/quote] I'm assuming this to be the case. I've never machined much Ti at all though

That feller there is handier than a pocket on a shirt Thanks for the videos, that was a great way to spend a few minutes of my night. As the son of a machinist and having a family owned machine shop and a serious case of BRD...you already know where my mind is going. Not that it hasn't went there before

Well done man, well done. I'm interested in those radical firearms sights. I've got a budget build that needs some flip ups and those are priced right. What are your initial thoughts?

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1167390" timestamp="1405039879"]If you use a KAK or similar tube to get 12" of pull or better, you won't be able to do anything [i]but[/i] like it. Also recommend an upright grip like one of Magpul's K2 models, makes amazing diff on wrist/arm for short LOP configs. The sheer functionality of the brace overrides esthetics IMNSHO. Amazing and unexpected gift from the ATF. - OS[/quote] Echo here. I can hardly tell any difference in my brace and an actual stock. Wish I had ordered my brace through Sig. I only paid $20 less and got no case :down:

OS, that makes sense. I'm just going to try and run a carbine spring and buffer on this one instead of the h2 or 3 buffers I've ran on some before, that's the main reason for the adjustable block. I guess if I was really stuck on a flatter shooting weapon I could run a muzzle brake like the fortis RED I run on a 16" gun, but the sane portion of my brain knows how inherently loud short barrels are and how much I value my hearing. I think I really used the wrong term to describe my ultimate goal. I used the word "recoil" but like you stated, even with severely overgassed guns 5.56 has no real recoil. I guess I'd like to try and replicate how soft shooting some of my longer barrels are. Usually when tuning my AR's I just make sure they will lock back and run with the weakest ammo in my stash, which for this one may likely be a steady diet of steel case since it won't cost much to replace this barrel if/ when I can shoot enough bimetal bullets to wear it out. As a side note, OS I'd like for you to shoot a couple of my guns with muzzle brakes that have been tuned to have zero recoil and make follow up shots very, very easy and see of you can tell the difference. Not that mine would be superior, just to see what you think of them. Those guns won't reliably cycle steel cased ammo though, so there is a downside to those I'm speaking of. After I felt my first truly properly (subjective term) tuned AR, I knew I had to make at least some of mine feel the same. Now on every new build I find myself sort-of chasing that "first high" feeling I can definitely tell one thing when I actually assembled and snugged everything up tonight I realized I'm going to have to invest in some keymod panels to protect my sausage fingers. The I.D. on this rail is tiny and your fingers are very close to the gas block. I suspect things will get quite toasty in that area

So I'm wondering, if I'm going to be running my gas as low as possible for operation, what's everyone's thoughts on a low mass BCG? I normally just run an M16 carrier and heavy buffer/spring, especially on anything shorter than a 16" but since it will only have *just* enough gas I thought maybe it would be fun to run a low mass carrier and see how light I can get the recoil. I typically try to dodge using a adjustable gas block by buying barrels from companies that I know drill theirs to the correct spec. so this is a little bit of new territory for me even though I've built quite a few ETA: better picture. As you can see I still need several things on and in the upper. I'm also sad I can't reach my gas adjustment screw with the rail on. Ah well...

[quote name="hipower" post="1167156" timestamp="1404962907"]FWIW, I was taught that for low/left hits it was less finger on the trigger. To use the pad of the finger so you pull straight back. Have I got that backwards?[/quote] I was thinking this as well. If I remember right less finger and using the pad should give you the straight back pull. More finger and using the joint will pull you off target. I use the pad of the finger personally and it works for me, but there could be 10 different reasons you're shooting low left.

[quote name="Dustbuster" post="1166942" timestamp="1404916747"]Once you set the gas block adjustment that screw may not move much at all, I can't adjust unless I fire a few rounds to heat up the barrel then readjust.the carbon and crap act like Loctite after a while[/quote] Awesome, thanks for the info Very good to hear from someone who has that gas block. Looking on ARFCOM I didn't find very many reviews. Thanks for the advice. Honestly, for the shooting I do it's probably not worth drilling/tapping a hole. If this were a duty gun I would have just had to use the Seekins to begin with, ya know?

[quote name="Ugly" post="1166909" timestamp="1404905029"]The shows name is Turn, it's about the Revolutionary War and the first spies and network they had in place. Sorry bout the confusion in the title :)[/quote] Ah, now I'm with ya. I'll have to see if I can find it on demand and catch up

So, I'm terrible at keeping things updated as you can tell. Since the last post I've gotten in my barrel, gas block, keymod handguard, Sig brace, and a couple other small things. I'm using Kies adjustable gas block, which I don't think for the money can be beat. http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Kies_CLAMP_ON_Adjustable_Low_Profile_Gas_Block_p/kies-adjgasblockclampon.htm It uses a tiny set screw to hold the gas tube in the gas block, which is an awesome touch. The only downside I see to it is it doesn't have a secondary brass set screw to lock in the gas adjustment once set like the more expensive brands like Seekins do. I'm thinking about either drilling and tapping a hole for one, or simply running red lock tite since I won't be running suppressed, once it's set I plan on leaving it. I picked up a barrel from strore.ar15.com. It's a 10.5" heavy barrel with a 1/9 twist that's nitrited inside and out. Got it to my front door for $130 shipped. It can't be the best barrel on the market for that kind of money, but for sub 50 yard work, it can't be too bad. The keymod rail is MI's SSK in 10.5". I've been hesitant to jump on the keymod wagon, this rail makes me glad I did. The Sig brace with KAK tube puts the LOP on this gun within 1/2" of what I normally run, which doesn't bother me since I'll stay nice and compact with the shorter barrel. I plan to take some detail photos and close up shots of everything this weekend, for now I've got everything together hand tight just for visual. I'm still missing a BCG and charging handle that'll come later this month. Disregard the pressure switch rail mount on the top rail, I've taken that off and I'll just be using the tailcap on the light

Is the name of the show "Turn"?

I'm only 27, and Floyd is one of my favorite bands. Ought to say something about the timelessness of their music.

[quote name="Jonnin" post="1165195" timestamp="1404476792"]its not that it goes away, but that it reverses.... after a bit you feel worried when you don't carry.[/quote] This is me. It's not that my carry weapon is a crutch, but it's became just like my keys, wallet, etc.

[quote name="Glenn" post="1165031" timestamp="1404419691"]I used to know a guy that drove those trucks. He alway had a bunch of really strange 38 special +p+ rounds with little cone shaped bullets.

Ho-lee-cow

The comments on that video are the scariest part of it to me. Just watch for "self inflicted gunshot wound while on treadmill" headlines in the next few weeks

[quote name="Dolomite_supafly" post="1165127" timestamp="1404441439"]Besides I am pretty sure I will not be walking when I am being engaged in a firefight.[/quote] Hopefully I'm finding cover

I just want to take this opportunity to say that I feel really blessed to have very competent legal minds as a part of this board that speak in a way that even I can understand. Just another reason I like TGO. As for the case, any outcome would not surprise me. Self defense is questionable at best in that situation.

No thank you. I can walk and shoot just fine without any contraptions added to complicate the process and make it unnatural

No. No no no

[quote name="NRA" post="1164484" timestamp="1404303462"]Did I miss something.............. switchblades are legal to carry now?[/quote] Yessir you did in fact miss something, they are legal as of yesterday, July 1st. It is now legal for anyone who can legally own a firearm in TN to carry that firearm, loaded, in their vehicle without a permit. Edit...beat by 23 seconds

Sure seems like he's letting the muzzle climb up on him a lot, especially for 9mm. Why does he slow his timing down on the second magazine and let the muzzle climb even more?

[quote name="jonathon1289" post="1164350" timestamp="1404257246"]Found another place with very competitive pricing vs PSA. Primary Arms sells their stuff so must be good to go. Have some good prices on stuff, not sure who makes their barrels but all of the reviews I have found online (granted, not many) are positive. [url="http://www.radicalfirearms.com/category-s/1832.htm"]http://www.radicalfirearms.com/category-s/1832.htm[/url][/quote] I'd be interested to see a review if someone buys their barrel. I passed on one for my current build but might pick one up for a beater/steel case shooter

[quote name="Seaslug" post="1164276" timestamp="1404243902"]Yes, but you'd end up with more of a "temple" weld than a "cheek" weld. :PSent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using technology and stuff[/quote] This would be my fear, I'm not sure of the height of the UTG riser for example. They're just stating you must buy one of those risers for proper cowitness height, nothing keeping you from clamping that base onto a riser
