K, reason I asked was because the CH is anodised so if it was painted, that might have conributed to your issue. It really sounds like you had debris trapped in there.

Understood Wojo And I have NO LOVE for DPMS AR15's . And the toyota/lexes point, LOL you seen my 1911 topic posts? Except I used BMW and Hyundai LOL.

Paint???

Wojo, I was making the point in terms of Bank of America is robbed more because they have more branches . In other words in 308 AR pattern rifles there are a lot of DPMS's out there so you will see a higher frequency of issues purely as a result of quantity. With that being said, George (GAP) and Jarod (PAI) both build customs off of the DPMS platform. They NEVER would if it was substandard. In convo's with George, the real heart of a AR Pattern 308 Semi is the barrel. I know several that have simply swapped out the barrel and achieved outstanding results. Now for me.... I'm a snob and dont like extrusions. Thats my only hangup with DPMS. Not substandard, just not my preference. And as of late, I am in love with the ease of mounting any damn thing I want on monolithic rail rifles so thats all I own at this point

Ditto on Sam's statements with the addition that the superb aftermarket makes practically everything replaceable as well.

I think you and Sam are going to have me rubbed out!

You mean like this Axe? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=217463231

The caveot there superbee is there is a LOT of DPMS's out there.

I hear ya Vlad. This is where the latest greatest 308 ar platforms are doing "something" a little different. What it is I dont know but in particuler the MWS and KAC EMC have AKish reliability to go with the accuracy. My MWS has NOT been cleaned since I got it and I have at least 400 rounds down the pipe without even a wipe down. Zero malfs to date.

LUBE. If you feel like it for sh!ts and giggles. Pulle the bolt/carrier. Wipe it down, p!ss lube all over it. put it back and see if she continues to roll.

The point is that a 7 series beemer and the new Hyundai both drive well. But one is a BMW and one is a Hyundai. One is 80k and one is 30k. The difference in Value is NOT that they both get you to the office. In my analogy some of it is name and prestige, but a BIG part of it when it comes to pistols is hands on. How many hours a person had to work on it. Base production pistols are "Lego'd" from parts. Better brand production is "Lego'd" from better parts. Semi production have a fair amount of fitting done and more attention to detail. Custom means they do things to the pistol that give it that "feel". A great deal of attention was paid to details like polishing the trigger track and the disconector rail. A lot of internals look like jewelry. In my custom build I hand fit every single part. I make very specific cuts and polish very specific areas and make sure clearences are there in the righ places. I spend about 120 hours on one of my builds. So in a custom pistol there is a value to be had in the pride of ownership knowing the level of craftsmanship that went into it. That is a value beyond the fact that it and a stock Springfield both go bang. The practicle value add is that a quality custom will abe able to do that a lot longer and maintain its accuracy.

It depends on the system and application. On my SCAR I have my T1 mounted foward about 4 inches so that my PVS14 can mount behind it. On my Colt its dictated by the mount with BUIS.

So Maks, ya looking at the neew Hyundai instead of a Beemer?

Look no further than Midwest PX. I have yet to own a C-products mag that works and isnt a flimsy piece of crap!

Maybe they Aikened him. Shut up and it will go away.......

Maybe CJ this sunday?

This is a dangerous precident. Think of the ramifications of a positive conviction. Do you all feel warm and fuzzy our new AG wont try the same thing? I have GOT TO MOVE!!!!

I have em all. I think COD BA is better than BC2. I could never get used to the jerky non linear movement of BC2.

Expensive to who? When you talk big green contract, the price points per unit would make all us civies puke compared to what we pay! Id put my money on HK. Not an indication of what I think is best, just what I think would win.

I dont keep spare parts, I keep spare guns

Just food for thought for anyone sitting on the fence about joining or recruiting other members. Money is of course important, that goes without saying. But its the number of members that opens doors and gets our delegation in to see the powers that be. Shane

I see it like this. If you are financially going down in flames...dont sell. If you have an emergency like your kid needs meds or somethng and its the only way...sell. If you are selling to fund something else you want, evaluate and then wait 2 weeks and see if you still feel the same.

If Dillon fell off the face of the planet, I think Id go RCBS before the LNL. When I researched it before buying again the order was 550b, RCBS Pro2000, then LNL. The reason the 550 won over the RCBS was familiarity. Do your own research on the reloading forums. Just to many complaints on the LNL compared to the other 2. Now for a single stage, Im going Forster Co-ax.

One thing I particulerly didnt like about the LNL is the plate setup with that spring. I read more than a few people have run into feeding issues where the casing tries to ride over the spring into the plate and hangs up . I have no first hand experience with the LNL however.
