    Crittergetter.... hope it wasn't too much trouble she got into. I think tRidiot may have a small gathering in the near future at his abode. If you need a hand with building your toys, depending on work load I could be a critic or at least a beertender! :)

    300 blackout............good, bad or indifferent??

    Hogdons site has a min load of H110 as 15.7 and max of 18.5c. So it's about a 2/3's up on the scale. Now that it is cycling, I'll be trying to see what will/won't work. I mentioned I had ONE 120gr Remington supersonic, cycled it and fed new round. To date, what has fed thru and cycled. 120gr...

    300 blackout............good, bad or indifferent??

    Success! ! ! Well somewhat successful, Drilled out gas port to 3/32" and loaded a mag of handloaded 125gr STS on top of 17.5gr of H110. Shot every round without a hitch! Next attempt is both, , a off the shelf box of whatever I can pick up and possibly a handload of the same H110 but with...

    300 blackout............good, bad or indifferent??

    I was looking for a decent shooting, readily available 30 cal . Who knows, a new correct barrel may be all I need but I have time to fiddle with it so it's no biggy. I like how it shoots so I'll keep messing with it till it works or I get tired of it and just put a .556 barrel on it. Might be...

    300 blackout............good, bad or indifferent??

    Well that didn't work. Drilled a new gas port (.0625) and a pistol length gas tube. Still a single shot AR. GRRRRR dang it.... :( That was with H110, 17.5gr with 125gr bullets. Suggestions? I am thinking of drilling gas port out to about .070ish. Guess it depends on what drill bit I can find...

    300 blackout............good, bad or indifferent??

    I got the barrel at FBT. I didn't know what I was looking for and obviously they didn't know what they were selling. S**t happens ya know. I'm not gonna whine about it. I do think I'll go ahead and try to drill it and install another gas block over the old gas port. Heck, I might as well...

    Ahhhh.... be able to SEE it when it gets hit by the flexing of the plate on the spring? Heck, what is the worst that could happen, the plate falls off after 1, 100, 1,000 rounds?

    Keep it in mind, we've done this annually but depending on trIdiot and my schedules it's possible we may do another one in the fall. I haven't discussed it with him so he may say No, not only no but hell no! lol

    Guess it would all depend on what your going to use it for. Fastening a holder onto it for a particular reason?

    300 blackout............good, bad or indifferent??

    When I stopped by FBT this afternoon I took down some gas block sizes...........guess what, my barrel is .875 (between the gas port and the barrel nut), FBT has a low profile gas block .875 for $24.99! ! ! Anybody up for helping me measure and drill a new gas port on my S/S barrel?? :) If I...

    300 blackout............good, bad or indifferent??

    Stopped by FBT this afternoon to purchase a pistol length gas barrel, they are out of them till next week. :( Guess I'll bide my time and get one when they show up. I'm done with the present barrel, may try to modify it for a shorter gas tube if the barrel OD allows for a standard gas block.

    http://weldingdesign.com/processes/news/wdf_31971 Everything I just read on different pages says it's not a problem. Tho you may lose some of the strength in the weld area due to reheating of the weld effected zone.

    I'd be interested in shooting on Tuesdays if work allows. As a on call contractor my hours vary with work load. Good thing is I only live 7 miles from USSA!

    Hey guys, been busy busy here lately but we are still set for using the shop on Sunday. I will probably be there about 11 if anybody wants to come in early. The shop does have one vice in it and I may see if I can rig up my personal vice from the house. Think I have a upper vice block and a...
