I cleaned all the oils from my barrel (acetone then baked to clear out the crevices near the fsb) and used camo krylon. A week later from shooting the junk starts to scratch and peel all along the barrel. The FSB still has an excellent coat of krylon that is hard as nails... the barrel on the other hand was too hot for the krylon and it has since peeled off. Now my barrel has no protection... :( I must soon refinish it with more molly resin

It really does work nicely to tighten the upper/ lower slop problem. Cheap, quick and if the o-ring does deteriorate or crack with time, it's a $.20 replacement item.

Actually, using a paper hand towel cardboard tube would probably make for a decent scope shade to help avoid mirage reflections through the scope. how do you keep the image from being upside down? Wouldn't you need two magnifying glasses?

A .223 / 5.56 shell can be used to adjust the front site on an AR, you use a file to cut some notches and it works perfectly. And a crushed case can be used on the Troy front buis.

Posted: 6/8/2005 9:36:00 PM I just remembered another one, sort of. If you do not want to shell out $3-6 for a 4 pocket bandoleer, you can use a .308 Australian type bandoleer instead. These can be found for really cheap if you ask, sometimes for free. It will hold 100 rounds of 5.56 on stripper clips and has snap buttons to keep it closed. It makes them easier to count, however you do loose the ability to reload 4 full magazines. You can now only load 3 1/3 magzines from one bandoleer. Not really AR related, but .308 stripper clips can hold 7.62x39 rounds.

Instead of using those dumb brass catchers or chasing your brass all over the ground. I just toss a terry cloth towel over the rifle. The brass falls on the bench or in a box I have placed next to the rifle.

Posted: 6/9/2005 12:09:37 PM The bed sheet thing is goofy. I always assemble the detents on my lowers inside a small box turned on its side. The open top faces me and I have a closed container all the way around. But I've only had one go jumping on me. A pair if thin, narrow needle nosed pliers holds the detent and compresses the spring, and the push the detent all the way in with the pin and it then drops into place. "snap" "whew!"
