Thanks, that helped me find it. It's the connecting rod from my lee bench primer. Must have fallen out.

Anyone know what this is? I found it in my hornady lnl parts bin but I can't figure out what it is. I had a lee pro 1000 before the hornady but couldn't find it in that manual either.

That is actually what I had on my SPR, it was a samson 15" handguard. Then I switched to a strike 17" handguard for the extra length and m-lock. So I had to dremel off the original gas block and replace it with the YHM hinged gas block. Don't get me wrong, the YHM works great, but I would feel more comfortable with a pinned gas block because I already had issues the the JP 2 piece adjustable gas block on my AR10 canting during firing and literally being blown off sheering 3 of the 6 screws, I did fix that by eventually pinning it, it has a dimple for drilling at the top, but there is no way to pin the YHM hinged block. Basically I want to be able to swap out parts without destroying and replacing existing parts.

Tried it for 3 months didn't work. And as per my endocrinologist, the intermittent fasting (paleo) diet is not a good idea. It's better to eat many small low carb meals thru ought the day then to fast and have less, larger meals, according to my doctor.

I have used wd40 with good results. Like @Mr.Stu said, just spray some wd40 or other oil in the case, just enough to cover the primer, and give it a few hours to do it's magic.

I did get the hinged one

Not yet. I replaced the gas block with a 2 piece instead. But I have other rifles that I'm thinking of changing handguards on.

I have an AR15, an AR10, and a Savage 16, all with a VG6 Gamma. I was actually looking into the Gamma 556 SL. This pick from the aero precision website makes it look very interesting. Aero Precision actually sells a 14.5 inch barrel with the Gamma SL already pinned and welded on, but it's out of stock.

Ok, I am not posting this to start a war. I would like every ones honest opinion on whether or not a MB is really needed on an AR15 or AR10. I am not talking about a competition gun where times matter, I am talking about a range/home defense/SHTF gun. I started considering removing the MBs from all my ARs when I ran into an issue when I had to replace the free float handguard. I had to Dremel off the original gas block and replace it with a YHM 2 piece. So please, no arguing, just opinions.

I know my gun safe won't fit in the linen closet, that is why I'm looking for alternate solutions.

My goal is to keep them out of sight, out of the hands of kids, and hopefully safe during an amateur smash and grab. I don't think that any affordable consumer level safe will protect from a determined thief with enough time on their hands. Unfortunately space is limited, and the linen closet is the only option at this time.

I know that general discussion is not for gun related topics but this is not really about guns, but storing them. Anyway, I need some advice and ideas. I currently have all my guns in a 24 gun safe in the master closet. We are thinking about remodeling the master closet and pulling the gun safe out of there and using the hallway linen closet as a gun closet. Now, my current safe will not fit in the linen closet so I need other ideas, the closet door jam is 17 inches wide and the closet itself is 17 inches deep, and I can't replace the door with a vault door, it must look like a regular closet when closed. So, I need ideas, small gun closet? Replace the door with a solid wood door and install a special locking mechanism? I need ideas.

Depends on my mood. Bored Excited

SOLD. Mods please close

I was just wondering how Trinity came back to life. And what's with the Morpheus look alike?

I could not find the original stock anywhere. So I'll have to modify my original answer to NO. I don't have the original furniture.

Keep in mind the original furniture is black plastic with a thumbhole stock

I do. But i had to cut off the front sling loop to fit the magpul forearm

Ok, down to $1,000.

Price Drop, $1,100

Ttt

it was .3gr below max in Hodgdon's manual and 2.8gr above max in hornady's

ok, so I worked up some loads of 55gr FMJBT with H335, with the highest load being 25gr and got an average of 3002fps with a 22fps spread out of a 20" .223 wylde barrel. There were absolutely no signs of over pressure but I couldn't judge the timing since I had a brass catcher attached. So the question is. Should I be happy with this load or should I try going up a bit to get higher speeds? I also loaded some 68gr hornady HPBT with Varget (have a pound I need to use up) and got an average 2876fps with 26gr compressed, with no overpressure signs.
