Nice rifle Don. What is the rate of twist?

If it cycles the heavier buffer would give you a longer dwell time and theoretically again a little more velocity thus a little flatter trajectory. For $40 give it a shot. And hurry up and join CR since you get all those holidays we can spend some time at the range.

What were you shooting before?

You've got the answer. Weak hand death grip ...LOL and index finger of the weak hand heavy under the trigger guard. Ball of the index finger in the trigger. But we both know all the right things to do. Damned if I can do it all the time... Good luck.

The shorter the gas tube the heavier the buffer. I'm not aware of a specific buffer for a midlength gas system so with a carbine buffer it's already a little on the heavy side, theoretically. If you want to soften it up, and not that you need to, the way I look at it go with as heavy a buffer as the gun will cycle with. The variable that we don't know is if the rifle is over gassed or not.. So it's a try it deal.

Twist and barrel length... I shoot 1:9 barrels and the heaviest bullet I shoot is 68gr so 55gr and 62gr(the most common commercial loadings) should shoot fine out of a 1:9. Uncle Sam says the 62gr stabilizes better for distance in a 1:7 But I'm sure somebody will comment on that. I stabilize a 68gr fine out to 300yd. Chamber - If this is your only AR go for 5.56 for versitility and the pending zombie apocalypse. Unless you're going into the jungle you can do without chrome lining. But ok to have. Normally I'd say 18-20 barrel for accuracy at 100+ yds but since I shot about 1 1/2 group with a 16" and irons the other day I can't really say that. If yor going to shoot 200yd or better you may want a longer barrel.

Bob - We don't know how it fits her yet. You know the deal if it's too short I'll get the longer pad, if that doesn't work I'll be selling it here. All - Thanks for the kudos. As far as the adoptions, I'm sure we can work something out. I need as many peeps as posible to put up with my grumpy old $hit. Respectfully of course...

I was looking for a link to Range 14 but couldn't find what I was looking for. Membership cost per year? Guests Cost? Discounts to retired military and family? Anybody know? Thanks

The stock is too short for ME...LOL

Well I want her to become framiliar with the platform so I told her I'd put a rifle together for her. Well she wanted something light, like my wife's rifle ,,LOL She didn't want a pinned M4 stock, "Why should I have a clapsable stock if it's pinned"...LOL But she wanted a short stock. " I can't bust a door in with a plastic stock" she said. So here is what she ended up with. And I sighted it for her today. And old Elmer Fudd can still put them out there I guess. Just let me lean a little.

Thank you for being the voice of reason!!!

The buzz is they've started.

NO w/ AR YES w/ SKS

You shoot or fire a shotgun...Gangsta... and yes "I" before "e" except after "c"

Wrong Dan- I rarely hunt with a firearm these days. Except woodchucks.

Ray- I trust that you are safe but look at it as they are watching that nobody pops you. Get it? Do push-ups, that releives agression.

Ray - And I give them money too. It's the best range around for the price with the most activities and a decent facility. I don't need some Ahole doing a mag dump just for kicks. Not having run-n-gun is another issue. Ray you own a 50 cal? And what's the issue about somebody watching you? You know I've offered you an open invite to come up. Ya just have to play nice and express your skills within the confines of the rules. Which really aren't bad based on the amount of people that come through there without incident.

BTW - I exersise the alternate rule and close the case on the pistol.

I voted "safe" and have had an arguement with an Ahole RO at CR about this. This guy was an "acting" RO who said he was on the board and a member of the "Safety Committee" He made some BS arguement about a cook off! Edit: I originally posted befor I read all. Mark- Chill... Just look at the obsticles the RO has to overcome. My **** is putting plastic in a hot chamber.

The throwers were being unpacked near the parking lot out of a trailer. I asked if those were the ones they were renting and the lady said no. They were for "five stand"

BREAKING NEWS!!! I saw electric clay bird machines at CR today. The lady at the store said the were "for five stand, you know like sporting clays" Well I don't really know what that is but, things are looking up!!!

I shot Luis's frame last week with an AK. He insisted I shoot it. I'm not crazy about them. So I shot his frame off hand at 50yds. OOPS!!!

I'll be there after lunch. I'll hang a NJGF tee shirt in the pasenger window of my brown F-150 at the 100yd. Frank BTW I tell people somebody else shot up my frame too...LOL

What time you going? I'll lend you a frame.
