Displaced Texan

Oy vey, this again?? Crazy Yankees. Lol

There is one on Rt38, right across from Cherry Hill Mall.

About 2 years ago, I cashed in about $900 in change out of my jar. I'm due to cash it in again, before it gets too heavy to get up the basement stairs.

If you are a Navy Federal Credit union member, they have a coin counter at most of their branches.

You just made me snort coffee out my nose!!! Lmao!

16 damn pages dedicated to pork roll vs Taylor ham??!! Damn, you Yankees are weird.

A good heat gun is the right answer.

HOLY CRAP!!! What is the big orange ball in the sky??!! Are we doomed??

Yeah, it feels like I should sit in a Starbucks and listen to grunge music....lol I hear it's supposed to be in the 70's and decent next week, but I'll believe that when I see the big orange ball in the sky again.

Lol usually is!! Glad you sorted it out.

I have been using these on my 14.5" carbines: https://store.ar15.com/product.html?cat=108&pr=650 Cheap. Fairly effective for my purposes.

I removed it.

Punch and a small hammer did the trick for me

What are you using to get it out?

Get a heavier spring to start. Then maybe go to an H2 buffer. Not unusual for a Stag gas port to be WAY oversized.

Pretty much.

It's over gassed. Try a heavier buffer.

$1300 for a 6920 is nuts. If you look around, they can be had for $900. A few bucks for compliance work and you're GTG. Also, as H.E. suggested, buy a BCM upper (or DD, if you prefer), and build a lower.

Buy a Colt LE901. 308 cal, but with the adapter kit, you can throw on a 5.56mm upper. Best of both worlds. I LOVE mine .

I disagree with the premise that 'what defines a good optic is largely subjective'. There are plenty of metrics to measure the difference between good glass, and not so good glass. Light transmission factors, parallax errors, optical clarity, ect. Not to mention, (with electronic sights), quality of electronics, shock rating, water resistance, all types of factors. Turret tracking....you name it. What IS subjective, is what is good enough for YOU and your intended purpose. A range toy has different requirements than a SWAT team members rifle. What's your 'mission', your requirements, and your budget? There are many differences between 'good glass', and 'not so good glass', the question is, what's good enough for your needs, and your budget.

While I don't believe that everyone needs to rush out and buy an ACOG, or other high end optic, I do think that good quality optics are important. There are good quality optics out there for a good price point. Barska never made my list of great value for the dollar, but I've never used the optic you are using. It may suit your purpose perfectly. Because my carbines are thrown in and out of pickup trucks, and otherwise beaten around while on ranch duty, I chose something that can take the abuse. ACOG for me, thank you, but not everyone has the same requirements as I.

That shirt is the greatest!!! Lol

I'm traveling at the moment so can't take pics. I drilled through the plunger mechanism and pinned it in place. I think I found the procedure in Calguns.

I have drilled through the release pin mechanism, and pinned that with a roll pin. Doesn't mess up the stock visibly, nor does it drill into the RE. It prevents the mechanism from working, effectively latching the stock in place.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
