fatty

wow and ouch... is there a limit to how light a competition trigger can be? that must've been really excessive

Nice!

Congrats patrick! Whats the job...?

dayum! Rob... how do you ride that beast without setting your pants on fire? those pipes must get crazy hot with that turbo

Thats a beauty.

I would just get one from hkparts.net Ive used 2 of their metal SEF trigger housings on my old ptr91

My AR is my primary HD gun as well but its loaded with m193. After watching a ton of videos on how far 9mm penetrates i decided against it.... i wish the ATF tests included 45acp as i shoot the best with my 1911 Will definitely need to look into that 64gr SP ammo!

A7X = avenged sevenfold

ohhhhh A7X would be amazing live

I soaked the whole carrier group in FP-10 overnight. These BCG's work very well.

If you check out the AK section on this forum, someone here did a build a few years ago and recorded the whole process. OR... you could contact Jim Fuller at Rifle Dynamics and sign up for one of his builder classes. I've always wanted to sign up but it's pretty costly

check out ak-builder.com building an AK from a parts kit is far more difficult and involved than assembling an AR... you'd need a variety of tools, jigs, a drill press, and a hydraulic press to get it put together correctly. if you go for it, make sure you get one already bent up and properly heat treated. If i remember correctly, we can't build from a receiver flat in NJ... nodak spud AK receivers: http://www.nodakspud.com/AK%20Receivers.htm

are you getting this nose diving issue with other brand mags as well (pmag / GI)? I had a similar problem last year and it was a bad mag with the feed lips spreading apart (hexmag; not sure which gen). it caused all sorts of feeding issues.

god damn that's terrible!

LOL..

at least 9"

if it is trashed, maybe you could consider getting the barrel chopped down and re-profiled to another desired length. 14.5-16" for CQB type distance? maybe it's still usable in a different config. could be a fun project

I'm curious what could be off about the barrel too. Do you know the maker? that sucks that a Hbar in 223 wylde is not shooting to your expectations

damn snow!

DPMS parts kits are GTG... the last parts kit I installed had the best stock milspec trigger I've tried so far and had the cleanest break (6.5lbs if I remember). kept that one in the bin as a backup haven't used anything else from their offering though

lol...

Done. Your BIL is a giant dude. what is he 7 foot??

HE have you checked out hsgi taco mag carriers? Those seem like they would snag the least on AK mags

Is it true that certain makes of upper receivers are more accurate because they are more "trued" or straight in relation to the barrel nut and barrel? I remember reading somewhere that for accuracy, certain makes were much better than others but I can't seem to find that article and what the reasons were. I've always wondered this myself... but I would guess that the upper receiver would play a decent role if you're going for sub-MOA at distance Would a billet vs forged upper receiver make a difference for that same purpose?

lol... good point. fresh out of ideas.
