[quote name='Lumber_Jack' timestamp='1353255045' post='847646'] I compare factory 300 BLK ammo like other high power rifle. $20+ a box is gonna be standard. I got a box of 110 gr Hornady VMax and 220gr Remington from JoeBobsOutfitters.com for $21.95 and if you get more $90 shipping is free. If you compare it to 5.56 or 7.62 it's definitely gonna be more expensive, but like Mike says its a great reloading caliber. If money isn't a factor, then by all means buy the Daniel Defense, worth every penny. Also look at Noveske and Wilson Combat for high quality factory built uppers. You can pair them with any standard AR lower. [/quote] I'm a huge fan of Daniel Defense rails (there's one on my Blackout), That can be the most expensive part on an upper, so you have to factor that into their cost. My rail was 300 bucks, and I shopped it a little. In my opinion, that's a good value for that rail.

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1353242806' post='847523'] With scope rings and bases all the fits are critical. Does your base not have slots in it that the cross screws set in so they can’t slide? If they are sliding they either don’t fit the base properly or they aren’t torqued properly. Torque is critical for fit and repeatability. If you are going to be changing scopes or working on guns a torque wrench is a must. I use a Wheeler FAT wrench.

[/quote] Agree 100% on the fat wrench. I have even started lapping scope rings. Even one piece mounts can benefit. I normally put a drop of blue Loctite on all the threats too. Even torque is real helpful, but screws can shoot loose over time. BTW... I would think Outpost has anything you need.

Can't beat Daniel Defense. Top notch company. Yes, the only difference between the two uppers is the barrel. The 300 uses a 5.56 bolt I doubt that the ammo will come down much because of the 30 cal bullets. They're just gonna be more expensive. Good caliber to reload. The mags are compatable (short answer). The BLK is a shortened 5.56 case. Some bigger bullets can bump into the internal rib in the mag (a Dolomite discovery), but that may be limited to cast bullets. I don't think you'll have any problem with factory ammo. No reason to steer clear unless you are bothered by the higher ammo cost. I reload it, so it's not that bad. It's a great caliber.

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1353252132' post='847615'] Well as my wife reminds me, miserable people tend to have miserable lives. My neighbor is a awful human being, but he has to suffer through who he is everyday until he dies a lonely, pathetic death which no one will mourn. Just wish that day would get here sooner than later. [/quote] Karma is painfully slow, and not all that reliable either.

Head shots are easier said than done when it gets real. Center mass is always best.

You need to have a machine gun shoot in your back yard. Based on previous threads, the asshattery is permanent. All that's left is superior firepower

The whole process is one of the easiest things I've done on a car. It wouldn't have been without the tools and lots of circuit board experience. Took maybe 10 minutes to replace all 7 steppers once I got the circuit board out.

[quote name='Dolomite_supafly' timestamp='1353179820' post='847269'] Huh.... The OP was advocating giving gun rights to criminals. And as far as I was aware once convicted of a crime, even domestic violence, you ARE a criminal. Now maybe we live on two worlds but in my world someone who has been convicted or pleads guilty to a crime is a criminal. Dolomite [/quote] I agree. There may still be a debate about the punishment fitting the crime. Domestic violence covers everything from a bruised arm to death. You can be charged and convicted of it for defending yourself. Losing your gun rights for life may be a little steep, since it's the same crime as beating a woman half to death. Zero tolerance is a stupid game.

If you're gonna swap a stepper yourself, you need to watch a video on the procedure. If you don't know what masking tape and a fork is for, don't try it. If you want to get a stepper from Strick, I'll swap it out for you. I have the real rework tools. I don't be using no wick.

I did my own, but I'm tooled up for circuit board work. Good luck finding a local. It doesn't require much time, and the parts are cheap. The vehicle will run without the cluster (at least the Trailblazer will), so you can pull it and send it off if you have to. Needless to say, Mr. Goodwrench will make you their bitch if you take it to them.

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1353161729' post='847133'] She needs to narrow this down. Is this a range/ home defense gun or a carry gun? If it’s a range/home defense gun let’s throw out all these little “belly guns”. If it’s a carry gun, is she going to carry a full size duty gun? concealability and caliber are critical for a carry gun. [/quote] Nothing to narrow down. All women need a pink 380 .

[quote name='Tactical11' timestamp='1353137961' post='847075'] I like the p22 walther small enough for even the tiniest hands. 22lr is a great starting point for a beginner as well. course it comes in various colors like urban camo and pink. I have one (not pink) lol I got mine because its one of the few that come standard with a threaded barrell. Works well with my yhm yankee hill mite silencer. [/quote] I've started two female shooters in the last few years. Started both of them on a P22 because neither had ever shot a pistol. After a few mags, we moved on to 9mm. I'm pretty sure the 9 would have scared them if it was the first thing they shot.

[quote name='Caster' timestamp='1353110436' post='846901'] There may be a gap powder out there somewhere but the two cartridges are too different to really share. The 223 is all rifle but the 300 BLK can be thought of as more of a magnum pistol cartridge. It acts like one and requires powders much the same. The 300 has more in common with a 357 magnum than it does a 223. [/quote] Yep. Same deal with the .458 SOCOM.

That's a stretch. So far I've used H110 exclusively for the Blackout (super only). It's a little fast for 223. I normally use Varget or Reloader 15 for 223, but am getting ready to load a bunch with 842. The 842 loads will be Dolomite loads.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1353089029' post='846661'] I mean no disrespect to anyone and certainly not to Dolomite but to be blunt, I believe the discussion was very related to our Second Amendment rights and it's a discussion that is both appropriate to have and should be had although I will admit that maybe that poster and that link was not the the thread to best have the such a discussion. Perhaps more to the point, what I found unsettling was that, as far as I can tell, there was nothing in the link or the thread that violated the rules here and considering some of the links and discussions that have been permitted, it seemed a bit arbitrary and inconsistent with other decisions made here. Life goes on. [/quote] Start one up. I have a helluva story on the subject.
