  1. More likely some anti-gun ass hole (or just a garden variety idiot) in the FL state bureaucracy just gave the info away.
  2. That's planning to fail. I'm ALL in. I won't even do prenups when people ask me to write or evaluate them. I don't like to turn work away, but I don't believe in a 95% commitment. Stuff is replaceable, a marriage is not. I think if divorce was on the table, money is the least of the concerns. Also every divorcee I know who fought to keep his stuff lost it, and his health. This includes my father. Those who just let the stuff go kept about half. I could see a pre-nup being a good and honorable thing under certain circumstances... Say for example a widower with children and signif
  3. Maybe. I just figured the AR magwell conversion might be the best approach since the .458 round is designed to feed single stack from an AR mag.
  4. I wonder if one of the AR-15 magwell units could be adapted to the .308 receiver? IIRC, .458 SOCOM has the same case head size as .308.
  5. That's kind of an asinine reason on which to base a semi-major purchase. Advertisers don't make the forum, the content creators (that would be us) make the forum. Advertisers are simply allowed to hawk their wares here in exchange for financial support. If I think they are providing a good value, then I might buy something from one of them. If I don't, then I won't. But it will have nothing to do with the fact that they are an advertiser here or anywhere else.
  6. Aero Precision makes nice stuff, and they are in your home state.
  7. Now would be a good time for people to stop writing $#*$#((&*&*^ letters to the ATF....
  8. So much for my plan to mount an arm brace to a registered SBR, and troll the range.
  9. Fuck HS Precision. The owner of the company is a long time buddy of Lon Horiuchi (the FBI sniper who murdered Vicki Weaver), and thinks he's some kind of hero. http://www.gunnuts.net/2008/11/26/boycot-hs-precision/ http://onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-company-that-doesnt-get-it.html
  10. Fuck earth day... We got together with my brother and his family for birthday dinner, and afterwards I shot my first rifle (now suppressed) that I received on that day 33 years previous, at the hillside, trees, etc. Previous to that we ran a shit-ton of gas through my '73 pickup that our dad bought new, pulling a big ass trailer.
  11. Sometimes on the .308 the cutout in the bottom of the receiver for the trigger is too wide, which will let the trigger move from side to side. It's possible it might move far enough for the hammer to drop. On this picture of mine, you can see how much wider than the trigger the cutout was (and most of it still is), and a couple spots on each side at the front of the trigger where I added some more material and then filed/ground it to fit. Trigger is RSA adjustable. I wasn't having the same issue as you are, but under some conditions the trigger would drift far enough to one side to
  12. You don't need anything quite that big. The gunsmith who has done most of my threading chucks up the rear of the receiver in a 4 jaw chuck and indicates the barrel to true. It works well with a square backed AK with a flush Ace style trunnion or receiver block. A friend had him do a Robinson VEPR and we had to press the barrel out of that one first due to the slant cut receiver. Mine ended up being 9/16-24RH instead of 5/8 in order to provide an adequate shoulder for a QD silencer mount. I think his lathe is about a 12x36 with an inch and a half or so spindle bore.
  13. Ivan has never really been known for consistency of manufacture.
  14. As I described earlier in this thread, I had my S-308 threaded in a lathe, locally by a gunsmith friend of mine. He's done several barrels for me, and so far no baffle strikes. He didn't need the barrel removed from my .308... His lathe is large enough to take the whole barreled action, and the back of a standard AK receiver can be clamped in a 4 jaw chuck, and the barrel indicated to true with the muzzle in a center. A friend had him do a VEPR and we had to press out the barrel for that one since the slant cut receiver wouldn't work in his lathe chuck. No biggie if you have the tools.
  15. If you wait for the HPA to pass you will probably never buy a suppressor.
  16. Silly me. I clicked on this thread assuming it would be about the type of dehumidifier that goes inside your gun safe.
