  What is your roles were reversed?  What would you want him to do to you?       Just kidding.  I'd have them chopped off.  Not mine, the dog's.

    Fortunately, I still have almost every gun I've ever owned.  And I wish I'd never had to sell any.     So, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.

I know nothing about Chris Costa other than what I've read here and at those links.  I don't think I'd heard his name before a few weeks ago.     I can forgive the stage dance and I must admit I envy witnessing the hot Japanese chicks.  What I can't forgive is that ridonkulous grip he uses on his rifle.  I see no advantage and several disadvantages to it.

Cool, thanks. Whew that's pricey. Sorry for the hijack.

I can't speak from personal experience, but I'd say that if you're using soft or hollow point bullets, either should be plenty effective.

Thread hijack/dumb question: Does that hinge adapter allow a standard tube to hinge on an AR and still function when extended? I haven't seen one of those in person.

If his mag changes were as fast as his mouth, it would have failed sooner.

Cool find. http://wtvr.com/2015/01/15/132-year-old-winchester-rifle-found-propped-against-tree-in-great-basin-national-park/

It's a Y-chromosome deficiency. Causes periodic psychotic episodes.

Revolvers can get tied up. And when they do, it's usually a lot more work to them going again than a semi-auto. My wife's Smith 686 will sometimes stop working when it gets too warm after a few cylinders. Not sure why, haven't tracked down the problem. It doesn't get carried for defense of course. My point is, there really isn't a difference in reliability between a modern self-loader and a revolver. But when a semi jams, it's usually an easy fix. When a revolver does, you better have a backup.

I should have said I've seen ONE Wolf steel case without a flash hole. At an Appleseed in N GA a few years ago I went through 100 rounds of Wolf .308 and had two rounds not fire. One was a missing flash hole and I can't remember the reason for the other. Never had to deal with Remington customer service, but hopefully they'll make it right.

Wow.  Never had that happen.  But I rarely use Rem primers.  Could be a bad batch.   Are you absolutely sure it isn't a light strike?  I've set the shoulder back too far on brass before and the firing pin wouldn't even touch the primer.  Waaay too much headspace.   How about the brass?  I've seen Wolf cases with no flash hole.   If none of the above, it's probably a bad batch of primers.  Hopefully they'll replace them for you.

There needs to be a new category for me. Call it "Jason Bourne" or maybe "Mitch Rapp". :) Actually, Subconsciously Competent may be appropriate. The only practice I get lately is in my dreams.

Seriously? I thought that was satire. Someone poking fun at whoever Chris Costa is. No?

  You just solved this guy's problem!   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/84353-ak-74-feeding-issues/\   :stir:  :devil:

I'm not sure what hold he teaches now, but I have in fact practiced holding the pistol at a slight cant (45 degrees or less) when shooting one-handed. It is a bit stronger and helps with recovery. And at close range, accuracy is just as good.

Wy wife and I took his class in '98. He really is something. Didn't know he lost some fingers. He shoot'em off?

  This.  Be sure to use pure lead.

I would just use some Cerrosafe and cast the chamber and throat.  That will tell you what you need to know.  Assuming you recognize the cartridge.     Calipers may get you close on the bore diameter if it has an even number of grooves and if you measure in the grooves.  Still won't tell you what round it shoots.

  Coincidence?  I doubt it.   :squint:

What they said ^^.   I do not have a SBR, but I have a pistol lower and a 10.5" .300 Blk upper.  An adjustable gas block is a great thing to have on the 300.  Otherwise, you'll have to have a port size that will work with the lowest pressure rounds that you'll use (subsonics) and the supersonics will be overgassed.  It will work, but isn't optimal.     I don't have a short 5.56 barrel, but I'm willing to wager that the .300 Blackout report is significantly less than the 5.56.

A bit pricy, but I'd REALLY like a DI 9mm upper.

Picked up some Zip Strip at Ace. Haven't got to use it yet. I need to today. Peejman, thanks for the offer. If I don't get it done soon, I may take you up on that.

Thanks. Acetone it is. Unless Ace has some zip strip. I don't feel like Walmart right now.
