Old School

We all need to hang together and not be divided. I heard no assination threats other than the "Black Panthers" bounty on "Z". Eric Holder are you listening? Militance without violence is perfectly acceptable.

No comment other than Nugent did't make a threat. Listen to the clip

I've had loads of aluminum welded successfully as there are some really tallented welders out there. But you are absolutely right. Why mess around when that grip is available.

Wow! Good call!

Find a good welder and he'll remember to support the trigger guard lug next time he taps the roll pin in. I guess that's what he broke. Will probably cost almost the price of the lower but it will be serviceable.

Always a gentleman!

The Austrians market better, have a trade in policy and don't forget a heavy entertainment budget.

Agreed! Go with your gut. A G26 is a very controlable pistol.

I have milspec M16 BCG's(don't kinow mfg) coming in and Original Colt lightly used BCGs that I have access to as well. Of course there are always AR BCGs as well. Willing to trade for other stuff AR parts and other stuff.

No

Not at all Dan. Learning to research is important. Obviously Nick knows how to research.

Very nice Nick, You did very well on yourt homework assignment. Now I just hope the noobs read this so we don't have the same question next week.

On the money Paul! Ever look at military recrowns...LOL

Hey Nick...SOB...We agree... Just look at any crown that is a a square target crown or 11* crown. An even dispersion of powder residue around the crown is an indication of a good crown.

The only issue I really see is concetricity with the bore of the muzzle brake. That is an issue enough that if you put enough good quality uppers together you can get a muzzle brake reamer to make the bore of the brake concentric.

I see it now. The angle the crown is cut at is wider on one side. I don't like it. I know Colin's other rifle well. It's a tack driver so build the best rifle you can, because to stand up to his other rifle it needs to be pretty good.

I can't see a thing in those pics. Really have to throw it in the lathe if there's any doubts. It's things like this that frustrate me. People thing AR's are an "erector set" and you throw parts together. Gotta look at stuff gotta measure. Do you what understand what I'm saying about the lead thread? Because the thread has a lead the face of the crown is not going to be the same width all the way around.

Yep Big mistake!

I think you guys are looking at the "lead thread" which will be closer to the bore axis.

Nick - can you see a variance? I can't. Nick- Run it between centers,,,

Buy a nice used Ithaca. You won't be disappointed. You'll go for about $300-400 for a real nice one.

And that's my point exactly. You can get a match barrel and it'll work fine. But it will never be as forgiving as an OEM barrel. I see your tag line, you know the deal. I like to mod pistols but my defense guns are stock, stock, stock!

I don't know if I agree with everything you've said. The polygonal rifling may increase velocity but I haven't been able to measure any beyond the standard deviation. Secondly I shoot a KKM match barrel and it is certainly more accurate than a stock GLOCK barrel due to tighter lock-up. I've compared both barrels off of sand bags and that relates to more accuracy off handed as well. And if you practice you will notice it. Just as an aside, I read some GLOCK promotional material today that claimed their Gen 4 Model 34 is capable of 2.5" groups at 25yds. This i have not ever been able to achieve with a GLOCK barrel but have been able to achieve with a KKM barrel.

Talk to Nickjc. He does it for a living and I understand he's pretty good.

Chairman Mao (not that I have any affection for him) had a sure fire way to cure addiction.
