Wouldn't think that would cause an issue, it was the only difference. Put the bolt back in the m4, and functioned perfectly. Also, i put the bolt in with just the upper and it seemed to lock forward fine. When mounted on the lower it was approximately 50/50 between going into battery or hanging out. When it was out, the FA did not help, although I did not force anything. |

If you're BCG is catching half the time it should be obvious to see if the tubes alignment is off. |

Yeah, but with that fellow you've gotta worry about getting it back with the same parts it shipped with depending on which rifle it is.

Got my 22Hs back from HaveBlue83 today. They are now FLS- Former lever stops. Great job, sir.
With that, I think this rig may be done. Started with an HCS upper on a BCM lower near the end of '14 and it now sits on a Brownells A1, a long collar is installed, 2.5-8 m2 replaces the 3.5-10 M3 originally on it, along with a few other minor changes.

Numrich like SARCO can be hit or miss on parts quality but at 23 bucks, if you are most likely going to paint the stock you will probably be alright. I've bought surplus parts from both places, sometimes it was almost pristine other times junk. |

Are you willing to point me in the right direction on A.R.M.S. 38 for $400. Everywhere I've looked they are all old posts. The newest was cross posted on Armslist/AR/AK.com. It is still up on Armslist, but its been gone. Ebay sold one for $200 something used about a month ago, I missed that one. There is only one place that I / google have been able to find that has a listing for the 38 SPR / Mod / Mod 1 and I'm hoping on getting lucky with a back order. If you've got some secret stash on these you should buy it. I've been digging hard. I know one will pop up eventually and I'm definitely jumping on it if I can. I think the time of picking and choosing are long past. |

So a Harris HBRMS 6-9" is the correct bipod for a MK12 Mod 1, right? That and a KAC bipod adapter?
Do I also need a pod lock for it? If so, which brand? |

I made some kids today. First test loads. Mic'd out neck, OAL, and case length and all is within spec and cycles in my holland. I need a case trimmer for the over 1.760 brass, but otherwise i am good. This is the scariest sh*t i have ever done lol.
Components: 8208XBR 23.2gr, Sierra 9377 77gr OTM, 2.260ish oal (i can fit 2.270 in my GI mags so thats awesome). Same load as i was shooting, but i reloaded it. Looks like 500rnds will cost me about $150 range. I hope it groups boys! Right now i am trying to replicate the last batch i had made for me, that stuff was .75moa for me.  |

I'm taking the crimp out of 100 of them right now. Gonna see how my recipe works with this brass. [youtube]http://  [/youtube]
