High Exposure

One of my favorite books and I love the movie. There is a directors cut version on YouTube that was re-edited. It’s really good as well:

Yes, I know. I was specifically referring to the two Westerns of the exact same title. The Yul Brenner one is awesome. The Denzel one is too. I think whichever one I have most recently seen is the one I like more. I have “7 Samurai” (and some other Akira Kirusawa flicks) on VHS around here somewhere…. Yes different storyline and all, again - that goes to my superhero/comicbook/sci-fi reboot vs remake. Does a reboot with a different storyline count as a remake? In the case of Dredd, it is what the original should have been so I say it counts. That Stallone one should have never been made. It’s terrible.

These are all better than the originals IMO • Count of Monte Cristo (2002) • Four Feathers (2002) • Magnificent Seven* (2016) • Thomas Crown Affair (1999) • Man on Fire (2004) • Dredd (2012) • Casino Royale (2006) • Insomnia (2002 - remake of a Norwegian movie) • The Departed (2006 - original was called “Internal Affairs”) Looking forward to the new Dune movie (Releases in October 21) as well. Good call on The Thing, The Fly, and True Grit. So - what about reimagining or reboots, specifically in comic book and sci-fi movies. The most recent “Star Trek” movies were damn good, but they were their own stories, not really remakes. The Henry Cavill “Man of Steel” was way better than Reeves’ “Superman”. Bale’s Batman movies are better than the Keaton/Clooney/Kilmer’s. Is a live action version of a previously animated movie considered a “remake” the “live-action/CGI” Jungle Book was good. * I waffle on this one. They are both really good.

It’s Magpul’s Stealth Gray color. It’s a dark flat Gray.

That was my initial recommendation as well. However, that solution only works if you can find a tube that fits on the existing barrel nut. You can’t swap the barrel nut without first removing the gas block. You can’t remove the gas block without removing the muzzle device… it’s a vicious cycle. I am not sure how proprietary the barrel nut on that model of rifle is.

Looking at the photo again - it may be just the angle - but it looks like the barrel extension is protruding a little farther than it should into the receiver.

OK. Picture is upside down - I thought you had a charging handle impingement there at first…. That’s very confusing….. Much better… A bolt over base malfunction is typically caused by an under-gassed gun or a bad magazine. If those were both cleared as possible causes, then I would check to see if you have M4 feed ramps cut into your receiver AND barrel extension so there is nothing to get caught up on during the feeding portion of the firing cycle. If the upper receiver is cut, the barrel extension has to have the cuts as well. If there are no cuts at all, or cuts only on the barrel extension, that should not be an issue. If that has been ruled out, it could be the A5 length receiver extension with a carbine gas system, a heavy spring, a heavier buffer, and short barrel doing weird shit to the dwell time. The system has to be pressurized long enough for the BCG and Mag to do their jobs of stripping and feeding. I would attempt to put a standard action spring and buffer in and see what happens. If no change, swap the upper onto a lower with a standard carbine length receiver extension and see if that solves the issue. If not, I would put a standard upper (14.5” barrel with carbine or middle the gas system) on your lower with the A5 and see if you have issues. Try to isolate the problem to upper or lower half and go from there. Let is know what you find, I am curious.

To the top!

Intriguing…. I have never even heard of that company or firearm. What’s the allure? May have to start a new thread if we aren’t allowed to have conversations like this in the WTB section…..

You got it! SPF to @1LtCAP

sorry bro, I do not. I had no issue with my Brownell’s slide with any drop in barrels I tried, (KKM, Glock OEM, Bar Sto, Arc Division, Storm Lake) but I did not try this particular one.

**** Both items SPF **** For sale I have the following items. S3F 9mm Match Grade Drop-in Barrel for Glock 19: This barrel TiN coated and is threaded (1/2x28). It comes with a matching thread protector. TBRCI Micro Comp: Fits the above barrel: G19 with this barrel and compensator will fit in G34/35 holsters. The Comp makes the slide no longer than a frame with a WML. I would prefer to sell as a set. Both items are practically new - maybe 50 rounds through the barrel with Comp on and another 50 without. Barrel is more accurate than I am. Comp shoots great, very soft. I just don’t need another comped gun at this time. Barrel: $165 plus shipping Comp: $55 plus shipping Both: $210 and I’ll cover shipping. If you want this and the Glock Ameriglo sights I have posted here, let me know and I’ll make you a deal. First to post “I’ll take it” wins the sale. This is cross posted elsewhere.

They will fit the dovetail, as far as I know. But according to Glock, Gen 5 guns have a different height front and rear than earlier gens for POA/POI.

**** SOLD to @cam29906 SOLD **** These are my favorite Glock sights - if it doesn’t have a RDS, it has these: Ameriglo Spartan Operator night sights These fit small frame (9mm, .357sig, .40S&W) Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glocks (eg: Glock models 26/27, 19/23, 17/22, 34/35). Sights are less than a year old. They were installed on a Glock 19 and removed when I sent the slide to get milled for a RDS. They have orange front sight and have very bright green tritium. Asking $60. **** SOLD ****

For sale is a Surefire M952V anodized in FDE. This light takes two CR123 batteries and is capable of switching between visible and IR light with a twist of the head. It also has an integral rail mount and comes with a SFXM07 tailcap and pressure switch. This combo allows for the benefits of the momentary pressure switch while maintaining a constant on “clicky” switch at the back of the light. This light is in fully working pristine condition. It was never taken out of the house. In fact, I don’t think I ever even mounted it to a rifle. I got it in trade with some other stuff a while back and I never found a use for it. White light: IR light: Looking to get $200 for the whole setup (the switch and pressure pad is normally $160 by itself). First person to post “I’ll take it” wins the sale ** SOLD TO @ar15bang **

The barrel nut doesn’t have a spring and ring. That an add on to the barrel nut on a mil-spec carbine. That gun is made for optics - specifically magnified scope. You’re trying to put lipstick on a pig and ultimately, the juice is not going to be worth the squeeze. I agree with @silverado427’s recommendation - buy a complete 16” upper. I recently saw Colt 16” 6920 complete uppers (includes BCG and CH) for sale for around $500 - can’t remember if it was Aim Surplus or Arms Unlimited…. Look around, deals are out there.

Does that hand guard use a standard barrel nut? I recommend changing the hand guards out to something that uses the same barrel nut, that has a free-float tube and a rail at 12 o’clock, then put a folding BUIS up front. Messing with gas blocks is always my last resort.

Fed- Ex tracking has been wonky. I was supposed to get a package on Tuesday, August 17th - ironically also a slide I had sent to Maple Leaf to get milled for a RDS. Thursday I get an email that it has been updated for delivery of Saturday, August 15th. Saturday morning, updated again, this time to Sunday August 15th. Sunday, I get a tracking update saying Monday August 16th. Slide showed up Sunday morning anyway.

Yes. Under 16” you have to follow the ATF rule regardless - which says pin with weld, if you aren’t doing the other two options they provide. But if you’re going to pin at over 16” in order to be NJ legal, you probably should weld too IMO - It ensures the pin stays in place and prevents moisture from getting into the pin and threads. I have seen some pretty nice pin jobs - @Shane45 pinned a 16” barrel for me with a solid pin in a very tight compression fit and no weld over it. It is amazing craftsmanship and I have full confidence it isn’t going anywhere - but that is an exception, not the rule, in my experience.
