Okay, I downloaded and saved the images I could find on Google Images. I don't know if I have all of them, and I don't think I could put them in the correct order, but I could dump them here if the OP or someone else wants to use them to recreate the tutorial. Quoted:

This is a great video and covers one of the important aspects of a good foundation for consistent barrel mating with the upper.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://youtu.be/pJL-IscH_joOne other thing I wish I could figure out... all the the pictures in the OPs thread from photobucket are blurry for me. Would sure like to follow his recommendation but the pictures seem near-essential since I'm working on my first build. |

@JoshAston
caught a typo in the "fixed" version, minor, sure you meant "mag" catch instead of "bolt" catch, quoted below: Quoted:
Part 9: DPMS LR308 Mag Catches IDIOCITY, ie STUPIDITY...definition: med. jur.That state of the mind which cannot perceive and embrace the data presented to it by the senses; and therefore the stupid person can, in general, form no correct judgment. It is a want of the perceptive powers. Ray, Med. Jur. c. 3, Sec. 40. Vide Imbecility. This post concerns the DPMS LR series rifles only. DPMS decided to use the standard AR15 bolt catch and button on the LR series rifle, even though the receiver is almost 1/4" wider at this point. .... question: on part 12, regarding the barrel shim, why do you orient the shim seam on the side, left or right, why not top or bottom? as long as there's no significant gap, just wondering. I can see if there's a gap, that would allow wobble in the vertical plane, but if no gap...? |

i use the "pi*diameter" formula to calculate the length to wrap around the barrel extension. comes out pretty exact, damn near a butt joint at the seam, if there's a gap, it's less than 1/64". So, I think I'm ok with the seam at the top. makes the pin cut-out easier. yeah, my build, my call. YMMV.
appreciate the explanation, makes sense, thanks. |
