I'm bring'n the salad. Your gonna eat it, and LIKE it! Besides, not like I can cook anything for a while.......

MINE!

I kinda want one, but my wife says I'll shoot my eye out.

Well, duuuh. But it's still a good idea to have a newly barreled upper head spaced. It's not checked for adjustments, it's checked to verify the rifle is safe and will function reliably.

By the time you buy a vise, upper vise block, torque wrench, barrel nut wrench, anti galling compound and find a place to bolt down the vise, you could have been to and back from a gunsmith or armorer three times. If you try to rig something up, it's going to take even longer and there's a chance you will be making another trip to the LGS to buy a new upper receiver. Go support your local smith and save yourself a lot of hassle doing it.

Geez, shaddup already. Tex makes brisket, Zeke makes Brats. win-win. let sleeping dogs lie. If you triple dog dare him, we may end up with porky sludge.

The dark ages spanned 1994 through 2013, I was not shooting on a regular basis. During that 19 years period, I may have gone to a range, three, maybe four times.

Brass should be falling between 3:00 and 4:30. That's one thing. How's your BCG, is it light weight? Just for kicks, if you have a few spare mag springs, try nipping a coil or two and see what happens. Your rifle has some minor issues but I'm guessing your problem is a mix of gas pressure, BCG weight, and buffer weight. I also think there is a little magazine issue as well. It's a problem salad.

I can't say for sure because, 458 SOCOM, but on a 5.56/223 rifle, that ejection pattern means overgassed.

Check where your brass is landing to determine if gas is over or under.

It may be a Beretta Model 412. The butt plate from a Stevens rifle/shotgun stock. Nope, it's a Stevens. Are there any markings on the barrel, like gauge or shell length?

Ah, yes. That makes much more sense.

You have more mag spring pressure on the first two or three rounds and it cycles. Gets hung up on 3rd round, with less mag spring pressure, less friction on bolt. Bolt friction is probably not the issue. Have you tried loading only 4 or 5 in the mag and see how it behaves? Are there any markings on spent brass or cartridges that failed to feed?

There is no MSM coverage of this. The info I found was on a couple of ham forums.

Have you tried plugging another computer or laptop into the bedroom wall jack? Also, look on the back of the PC and see if three is a light on where the network cable plugs into the computer. It may not be the wiring at all, and the problem lies with a bad network card on the computer.

CA is not "banning" ham radio, they can't do that, so in that regard it is false. What CA has decided to do, though, is discontinue publicly funded support for ham radio. The state will no longer allow repeaters on state owned land, towers or buildings. All existing repeaters will have to be dismantled and moved to private towers and buildings.

Concerning 5.56/.223, I agree with you insomuch as the comp function is concerned. Brake function, not so much. Although the MSM and dems have put all of the emphasis on "flash hiders" that term was never a military term, it is a democrat EBR branding scheme. The A2 birdcage is actually categorized by the military as the primary function being compensation for muzzle rise, and the flash (muzzle blast) dispersion is secondary for preserving night vision. If recoil on a 5.56 sa/fa rifle was a big problem, then all military rifles would be fitted with brakes. Now, if we are talking 338 Lapua bolt action, or a 308 SA/FA, or a 50BMG bolt gun, then braking function becomes more relevant, and in the case of 50BMG, virtually necessary. Recoil management is not the same as controlling muzzle flip. A brake will let you shoot cartridges with punishing recoil more comfortably, not really more accurately, whereas a comp will help a shooter stay on target, with any caliber, during rapid fire. Most brakes being bought are pure brakes, no compensation at all. They are just noisy penis extensions on an AR pattern rifle.

Muzzle brakes on low recoil rifles are a phenomenon found in AWB states like NJ, NY, CA etc. These conversations are not common in free states. Brakes are a substitute for the look of a flash hider. For the most part, brakes are an Ersatz penis extension. In the free states, most folks are happy with the A2 birdcage, which also functions as compensator. Again, the A2 is NOT a brake, its primary functions are compensator and muzzle blast dispersion. and are commonly replaced with a loud and arguably unnecessary brake for the look.

Not for magnum 00 buck. For folks just getting into trap/skeet, any #7.5 or #8 load will do. Buy the cheapest stuff you can find because there will be very little difference in a new shooters performance using a $4.50 box of field/dove loads and a $9 box of competition trap loads. When you get to the point where you are hitting 80% or better, then you can think about buying the fancy stuff.

Only if you paint it black and attach a flashlight to it.

If it's a tow behind, it will go in the RV and boat parking area. You could probably get away with parking an M55 there, it's sorta like an RV.

I think the judge giving her a bible was significant too. If the judge is a practicing christian, then she knows Jesus can forgive any sin and this book is the way to him. I'm not trying to make converts here, I just happen to know a lot about religions. In a way, the judge was saying that she wants the killer to get some of that olde tyme religion so that her sin will be forgiven.

It is possible, and sometimes is best, because carrying resent all one's life is a burden that can keep a person from moving on in a good direction.

Doh, three of them, and also a grease gun. I have so many guns, I've lost track.
