That's the truth for sure!

No need to be an a$$. It's just my opinion, kinda like the thread title. You cant possibly think I meant soldiers are supervised al the time. In battle, when faced with hard decisions, what do our soldiers rely on? Training? My point was we train them to be men physically and on the battlefield but that doesn't mean they are ready socially. Sure probably a higher number than average ARE ready. But the military is a small percentage of society. What about the other 18yo who have never had a lesson in discipline. You have to realize these laws go outside the focus group we are discussing here.

My opinion is based on the fact that the first part is done under strict training and supervision. The latter is done with neither.

I didn't learn to drink responsibly till probably 24, and I started at 17. I see nothing productive in being able to drink a beer. I know our young soldiers see and do some very tough things, but I don't think alcohol is any kind of reward.

I think you'd be surprised at the amount of hunting gear they have in-store. Now if that's not your thing then it wouldn't be worth the drive. I've lived in Knoxville for a while and frankly if I'm gonna buy new hunting clothes or gear I'm buying online because Knoxville's selection is limited.

Exactly! It's not the town market, it's available access from rural America. If its easy to access, people will come. Like I said above Cabela's built outside Wheeling, WV which makes the Tri-cities look like a grand metropolis.

I'm not much ofa fan of BP's Redhead brand, but I have had good success with Cabela's brand. I also think BP I overpriced by a long shot. Cabela's can be the same way on some things but thats just the nature of big stores and lots of taxidermy.

I'm not at all excited about Bass Pro, but Cabelas would be really nice. They built a Cabela's about 1.5 hrs from my hometown in Wheeling WV. That place gets people to drive there from 3+hrs away. I don't doubt they can support both. Think about the distance to the next nearest BP or Cabelas from rural East Tennessee, Virginia, NC, and even Kentucky. They will be busy. I thought BP and Cabelas would not build that close to each other. I guess that was just speculation.

Off topic: Does that 300 BLK Carbine cycle subsonic well?

Agreed. I like these little buggers

This was my assumption, that as standard length was meant to be behind the block. I think my question has been sufficiently answered. Thanks

Yes I understand that. With a FSB the forearm length is specifically dictated by the gas system. With a low pro block the forearm could be infinitely long. I just wanted to know if there is a standard length among manufacturers using the term carbine, mid-length, and rifle, for free float forearms.

Well I'm glad you were able to make amends and return to TGO. If someone could rewind the audio tape of my life you'd find many racial slurs be thrown about in my past. It was a product of environment. And as you said its the low hanging fruit when you loose your cool. I'm not racist and feel very strongly that my wife and I will adopt a child of a different color someday. Most of all I believe in change and forgiveness. I applaud your honesty. Remember forgiveness can e a process it take some longer than others. Time will be the judge of your sincerity, but I'll take you at your word. Welcome back.

I think he said "12in plate DEAD CENTER". The emphasis was on the dead center and less on the size of the plate.

The Lone Wolf barrels are just as accurate as factory(or more). They don't use polygonal rifling which allows the use of lead boolits with leading up the barrel. I reload 10mm in a Glock 20 and have had zero issues. You should always inspect your cases for signs of over pressure or cracking. If you use good brass you won't have any issues.

Its a carbine length for sure. I'm assuming you have the front sight gas block. As Mac said any Carbine 2 piece replacement will fit My confusion comes with low profile gas blocks and free float forearms that cover the block.

Yeah, thanks, it's important to me. I'm considering a suppressor and wether or not to have the suppressor partially under the rail. For that barrel length and forearm length need to be right.

What was your wait time?

I wasn't sure if there was any concern vacuuming that crud up or not.

I don't think I have any empty mags. Remember springs were out from coiling and uncoiling not from staying compressed. I do keep the Magpul covers on my AR mags but that's to protect the feed lip.

Some are listed as 12.5 on their website, others state no length. I assume it's 12" for rifle unless otherwise stated. Mine is exactly 12" as well but since I didn't buy it I wasn't sure which one I had.

I'd need a little more coil for that

I think Ridgewood is just like any other restaurant, some people love it, others don't.

Is that universal, or does it vary slightly by manufacturer? I only have one AR that was built by someone else.

Maybe so, I didn't see it. Of course I wasnt on the manufacturers website, that could be my problem.
