Can someone please tell me the overal length of the Rifle with a 20" barrel? Im trying to find a good drag bag to get, I was looking at the voodoo tactical ultimate drag bag but it's 51" and I think that might be too long.

So you all know we use Trident Weaponry for our Cerakote. Ben over there does a great job. They use all Cerakote colors. They do hundreds of HG's a month for us and I've only had happy customers as a result. Usually adds a week but sometimes a bit longer if he is really swamped.
Thanks Todd |

This MaTen FAQ should be evidence enough for people. If they would just read the entire thing from page 1..... This x1000. My first few big-frame AR's were Armalite, and while a small sample size, I never had a problem with them. They cycled everything, including mil-surp 147gr crap. All of my non-DPMS AR308's were finicky, but the least finicky was my Noveske MA-TEN build using Armalite parts. I won't name the company, but I've seen a handful of issues with one well known distributor of barrels from people I know that have built large frame ARs. Having a 100% money back guarantee helps, but it's not going to cover the doubts and uncertainty and frustrations you may come across with the platform. I think people should understand that with large frame ARs, you have to pick two of the following: cheap, reliable or custom. The second you go custom, cheap and reliable no longer go together. At least in my first hand experience with 3 MA-TENs. |

It's murder in a carbine, really bad on a mid length and not great on a rifle. Gas block won't solve that, you simply have a lot of pressure in the system and a gas block limits flow, not pressure. I am going to mostly agree and ask a question. I have often wondered about this myself because I love the Superperformance stuff in my bolt actions. The Hornady website on the topic does say that an adjustable gasblock is required if you are using a semi-auto; it doesn't say under no circumstances should one try it. I totally agree that anything less than midlength is way to high on the pressure curve. Midlength seems like it should be ok with an adjustable block. As for an adjustable gas block limiting flow and not pressure, I will agree-- OVER TIME. If given enough time, yes, the pressures will equalize. However, greatly limiting that flow means that it never gets the chance. If that weren't true then an adjustable gas block would never work at all. You have a volume and a pressure on one side and a volume and (lower) pressure on the other side. Restricting the gas flow means it will take a [much] longer time for those pressures to equalize. To bring this back on topic, anyone here have any experience getting 308 (or 708 or 243, etc) Superformance working in a MEGA? -Stooxie |

It might work but will depend on the individual barrel, how it is chambered, and the gas/recoil system. No way to tell without trying it.
I can't think of a good reason to try it though. It will be hard on the rifle, most likely will cause cycling problems, and in my experience with Superformance, some of the least accurate ammo I have ever shot. AR's run best with mild loads. Chasing velocity and pressure signs is not what these things are for. Get a bolt gun for that. |

Depends on if you want the extra length to increase cycle time. It's a 10% difference in length so probably doesn't make too much difference aside from being able to use standard buffers which can be way cheaper then heavy 308 buffers. The DPMS 308 carbine buffer is pretty cheap. Personally I have used standard length tubes with the DPMS LR308 buffer and spring. If you have an adjustable gas block you shouldn't need heavy buffers. -Stooxie |

I've used the AR15 version of the DPMS Panther Claw for years (in the correct orientation in the vise) and have really torqued down on it a few times before (like 90 ft-lbs +) with no issues.
What sets the Panther Claw apart from the other vise blocks of similar design, is the part of it that slides up into the upper. That part that goes up inside the receiver is what holds all of the force and keeps it off the pins. I've recently used the .308 Panther Claw (bought within the past month) to barrel my MATEN upper and it fit and worked perfectly with no modification needed. Sandwiching the upper between two cutting board strips in the vise is actually how you can destroy an upper. |

There was no flex whatsoever, and as a previous poster mentioned, the part that goes inside the upper prevents strain on the pins. Another thing that seems to help is to slide the vise block back so it's flush with the end of the vise and not overhanging. This will reduce the flex that might be causing people to break their uppers. You want the vise jaws clamped to the block below the pivot pin area because that's where all the stress is concentrated when tightening the barrel nut. If the pivot pin area of the block is overhanging the end of the vise, it will be flexing like crazy and stressing the upper. |

I just got bit by megas "compatibility" page.
It says DPMS carbine buffer and spring for milspec ar15 tube.... or Armalite equivelant Well armalites equivelant is just a fucking H3 buffer, and it most fucking definitely is too long for milspec tube. God dammit. That's correct, but the Armalite system works much better. The only need for the shorter buffer system is if you plan to use the UBR stock. Go with armalite buffer system and bcg. You won't regret it. |

God dammit. Dude, so it's a $40 "fix." Either get a DPMS 308 carbine buffer and spring or get an Armalite length tube and 308 spring. "Problem" solved. Then sell the other parts in the EE and you're probably close to even. -Stooxie |

From what I understand the vltor a5 carbine tubes will work fine with the armalite buffer and springs? If so I'll probably just do that. |

Correct: https://www.vltor.com/shop/a5-system/re-10a5sr-a5-receiver-extension/ Be sure you are using an Armalite AR10 carbine buffer spring. Sounds like you are. I hear ya, brother. This is one is a real catch-all. Very subtle yet totally incompatible differences. -Stooxie |

I went through about 40 pages here and wasn't able to find it. In the OP it says that they didn't know what pattern the LMT Bolt followed. Has this been figured out? If its in here somewhere I apologize.
