I am in love!
I think it's overpriced tbh. $2900 entry price for a .308 that weighs 13lbs? I don't think so.

Problem zeroing my micro t1
Also, make sure you're mount is tight to the upper, and the sight is tight inside the mount. Have you checked your eye dominance? What ammo?

Problem zeroing my micro t1
Well I think your problem is obvious....The target is sideways.

is my barrel crooked, or iron sights inconclusive at 50 yards?
Dude, it's you. It's not the sights. Mipafox has it right about the 3" group at 25yds. As Charges Barkley would say, that's just turrble. You should making touching holes at 25yds with ease. I am inclined to think it's your trigger pull. Try shooting another AR and see what the results are. Better yet, have an experienced shooter try yours....and get that thing zeroed.

There I go making assumptions again. I automatically thought of the pro when comparing against the Strikefire

Brass jewelry
I don't think it would be a problem to polish just the same as any other jewelry. I polished these with the stones already set too. If it gets yucky I'll just clear coat them

Brass jewelry
Rim diameter on .380 is .374 and 9mm is .394...those 20 thousandths may make a difference. I don't know how easy it would be to work with a smaller case for the purpose of making more than a single pair.

post your favorite AR stock..
I use Mission First on mine. I have the BattleLink on one and the Minimalist on the other.

Brass jewelry
The necklace, I just pressed a FMJ in the case with a spent primer in it, crimped, and drilled a hole through the bottom of the case wall. Next one will have an eyelet in the primer pocket instead for a cleaner look.

Brass jewelry
Thanks! Hey, if you're buying I'm selling! Lol...I only have the sapphire colored crystals right now, but I would acquire more if the demand was there. I think .380 might actually be a better case for this rather than 9mm. I'll find out when my wife puts them in her tiny ears.

Brass jewelry
So my wife is really into the jewelry made with spent brass. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to come by. So I decided to make some for her. I ended up with a necklace made of a .223 with no primer/powder that she loves. Simple enough, so I figured I would try some more. So here is my 9mm earrings with sapphire colored swarovski crystals.

LR308 build
It's just like the posted muzzle velocity for .223 being around 3250fps..that's measured from a 20" barrel...it's usually closer to 2800ish out of a 16"

Where are you and how much snow did you get?
What snow?
-
LR308 build
This is correct. Most of the 700 guys that went with a 22+ barrel so no noticeable difference from 20" with velocity, range, or accuracy. 20" has pretty much been deemed the ideal length for .308

Tire pressure monitor systems
First, those metal caps have an O-Ring inside them to prevent water from getting inside the valve stem. Traditional caps don't have this. If replacing with plastic caps, be sure to use the grey plastic caps, as they too have an O-Ring. It's important because water inside that valve stem will destroy your $100 sensor. Second, in order to program your new sensors to your vehicle, you will need a tool that can activate your TPMS system's "learn mode", and a tool to activate each individual sensor. Some vehicles even have a split system allowing you have 2 sets of tires to switch between (summer and winter). Third, any tpms sensor can be used, providing its on the same frequency that the car is programmed for (315mhz or 433mhz). Just remember to properly torque the valve stem as they are easy to snap off. Lastly, every vehicle in the U.S. sold as a 2007 model must have TPMS. This includes vehicles produced in 2006 sold in 2007. They all must operate as a radio device, not a mechanical device such as a tone ring or ABS calculation. It is illegal for any repair shop to disable a TPMS system, or to even install traditional valve stems in place of a broken sensor.

AR vs. lever action reliability
I beat the SHIT out of my AR's. I'm no more afraid to scratch them as I would any other tool I own...because that's what they are...tools. Tell that to this girl...I've never once thought the AR platform was in any way difficult to clean or disassemble.

What's your home defense shotgun rig weigh?
Sweet baby Jebus...almost 12lbs?! That's a large loadout for a home defense gun. I live in a smaller home with firearms staged. I keep my 870 loaded with frangible 00 and a flashlight. That's it. I can't imagine having all that ammo and weight and a bandolier...I mean really, are you expecting an a small invasion?

mobil 1 synthetic observation
If you really want to test it, shoot a ton of ammo through, then check the bearing surfaces. You'll find them to be completely clean and still very easy to cycle.

G19 gen 4 + vickers extended mag release
While I don't have that issue and can operate my Vickers MR just fine, you may want to look into a having the mag release area scalloped. It works pretty well for problems like this. However, if the problem is just your finger being too big or small to effectively reach the mag release, nothing will fix that.
