They can rebore, cut rifling and chamber a barrel for about $250. Pretty much the same length and only .050 difference in case rim diameter. Wouldn't take much at all to make it work.[/quote] Thanks I'll check I to that

[quote name="nightrunner" post="1079501" timestamp="1387150757"].41 mag lever actions are highly coveted by those that do want them. Any reason aside from just because, over a .44mag? .410" and .429" isnt that different as far as bullet diameters go.[/quote] I have other .41 and reload for it already.

Anyone ever see a lever action .41 mag? Marlin made one for several years all the way up till the early 2000's. The ones that pop up on gunbroker are ridiculously priced. Just wondered if anyone ever sees any for sale

All looks good. With the barrel threaded 5/8-24 you'll have to get an appropriate compensator most will be labeled 762 with that thread pattern.

Yep looks really good for 100yds and 4x. If you got some precision ammo or handloads you could probably tighten that up even more. It a 10x scope. I'm young and 4x is hard for me to see .223 at 100yds

[quote name="mikegideon" post="1079245" timestamp="1387097561"]We can play the money games all day. Unless you have held one in your hands, you may not see anything but the money. I got one and put it on my rifle. Then, I got two more. Has nothing to do with precision. Has everything to do with not having a heavy horse dick wrapped around my barrel :). I'm not dissing every other rail out there. Just saying that the DD rails have lots going for them that you ain't gonna see unless you pick one up. It's a Glock vs. Taurus argument.[/quote] DD doesn't own the proprietary info on how to make a light rail. Are they the top of the pyramid, in my opinion yes, but you can get a great lightweight rail for a considerable discount. DD lite rail 10" - 12.1 oz $299 MI T-series 10" - 12.0 oz $169 I agreed the DD is awesome, but the MI is good too. I would rather sink the funds in a good FCG if budget is of any concern.

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1079156" timestamp="1387071162"]So that pistol tube was able to still reach the buffer retaining pin using the end plate? Meaning, aren't they sized to be screwed in all the way to just catch it, without plate width? And if it sizes to it now, seems it would have been too long without it? Looking great. - OS[/quote] Yeah, they are designed to use an end plate. Just no castle nut

[quote name="6.8 AR" post="1079170" timestamp="1387072984"]You know? You're right. Sorry about that. Their .300AAC were out of stock. I guess I was so excited to see them have anything in stock.[/quote] Yeah I know. I'd willing drop money on a barrel....if I could ever find one in 300

[quote name="Razz" post="1079038" timestamp="1387054271"]Looks nice. I'm dropping my set off as soon as my hand-guard arrives.[/quote] What color are you doing?

[quote name="6.8 AR" post="1079096" timestamp="1387063794"]Noveske and it is in stock. [url="http://shopnoveske.com/collections/barrels/products/diplomat-5-56mm-barrel"]Unbelievable![/url][/quote] That's 556 I thought we were talkin 300BLK

Yep, big shout out to David for the "members only ammo". I know he caught some heat for not selling to others that saw the ammo being sold. But he stuck to his guns to support us!!! And that's why I only buy from him

Joeboboutfitters I believe has them too. Pins and pin kits. Would be there fast

[quote name="gregintenn" post="1078961" timestamp="1387045497"]If the bullets you shoot don't go into the target sideways at hunting distances, and will shoot in an acceptable group. I wouldn't give much thought to twist rate.[/quote] Well if you shoot 40 grain bullets out if a 7 twist they might fly apart before they ever get to the target. Going in sideways isn't that bad as long as it's on target. Bullets flying straight but spinning too fast may not perform as described. So it's definitely a consideration that needs to be made. The key is to choose a reputable expanding hunting load with as much mass as possible that your gun can repeatably put in a kill zone.

[quote name="TripleDigitRide" post="1078938" timestamp="1387042941"]Or for sticking something in to hold the spring in place when removing the pin.[/quote] That was my guess, but wasn't for certain.

[quote name="gomer pyle" post="1078892" timestamp="1387037184"]out of curiousity, why do you not like the 2 piece handguards? will a 12" rail cover a rifle length low profile gas block?[/quote] I believe you'll need at least 13" to cover the gas block

[quote name="gomer pyle" post="1078861" timestamp="1387032269"]thanks tricky, i'll watch the videos. some of the links had free shipping. once i get ready to order i will shop around a little more, just trying to narrow down my choices. jack, i want a quality, accurate rifle but the wallet is getting thin. is there a rifle length rail similar to the DD that is well built and cheaper? i have thought about a gas block with a rail on top just since it will set out in front[/quote] Yeah I would look at Midwest industries. Should save about $100 over the DD. Several to chose from. Both one piece and two piece. http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=149 This one would compare to DD. It's not a DD but it's a good product. http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1109

What's the hole for in the front takedown detent slot? [URL=http://s680.photobucket.com/user/owensnj/media/067CA513-739E-4C30-9EF6-C4C982075C51_zpsvryqp7ts.jpg.html][/URL]

[quote name="gomer pyle" post="1078764" timestamp="1386994892"]i have now built 3 lowers but this will be my first upper. another member on here is willing to help me put it together but i need some help with all the parts. i have the tgo upper, charging handle, bcg, forward assist, and dust cover(i my change it). i think all i need now is barrel, rail, gas tube, and gas block. anything else? does barrel nut come with the rail? what about delta ring, what is it and do i need it? here are the links to what i am thinking about, will all of these work together? any suggestions for something cheaper or better?

Can you find cheaper, sure, better....debatable. If you're looking at a Daniel Defense rail you're not on a shoestring budget. They are awesome, but pricey.

[quote name="Dolomite_supafly" post="1078806" timestamp="1387012792"]If you run an adjustable gas block it is easier to tune rather than the spring kits. Also, having the gas tuned correctly keeps the gun a lot cleaner, reduces felt recoil and reduces wear. And you can get a nice quality gas block for $50.[/quote] He has the Syrac Ordinance Adjustable block

[quote name="Trekbike" post="1078406" timestamp="1386959486"]I don't know any of the history but if you go by the names displayed on the screen throughout the video it featured Martyn Ashton, Danny MacAskill, and Chris Akrigg.[/quote] Martyn is the voice at the beginning of the video. He speaks of recruiting friends to help finish his journey....that's because he's paralyzed.

[quote name="cgpeanut" post="1078455" timestamp="1386965531"]Just ordered the Midwest industries gen 2 ss-series 15 inch rail [url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GNZ2IO/ref=ox_ya_os_product"]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GNZ2IO/ref=ox_ya_os_product[/url] For $153 shipped, for my cmt tgo 300blk upper build. Sent from my Nexus 7[/quote] Great rail. I have the gen 1 simply to fit over the Noveske KX3 otherwise I would have got the gen 2

Man that turned out way better than I expected. Looks great

[quote name="6.8 AR" post="1078630" timestamp="1386984994"]Why would it matter how you use it? What matters is how it was sold as, at least to the minute mart agency that regulates it. Once it is in your hands, another matter.[/quote] I'm worried about the ATF not following their own rules. Letters of opinion can change daily. I would rather pay the tax stamp

[quote name="NoBanStan" post="1078327" timestamp="1386950619"]That's probably around 4k worth of bike he's hopping around on. Typically those road bikes are carbon fiber and don't take well to impact. But, if you have to income or sponsers to support it...... Sad to hear he's paralyzed now.[/quote] Apparently $24,000 Calnago C59 Disc brake. Typically road bikes don't have the braking friction to do this stuff. http://m.bikeradar.com/us/road/gear/article/pro-bike-martyn-ashtons-colnago-c59-disc-from-road-bike-party-2-video-39275/

[quote name="Joseg" post="1078317" timestamp="1386948240"]I was going to say, they must have mountain bike/bmx guys before that, because there's no way in hell I would try some of those things with a road bike.. Surprised they didn't pop a few tires or bend a few rims.[/quote] Yeah. I'm more surprised they didn't taco a few rear wheels more than the actual hopping of the bikes.
