i keep her dripping wet.

Do you recomend miltek?

The guys at the shop really recomended that.

I love my AR but she's a bit of a priss. Do you feel there is a concern about steel case rounds? My buddy who lives with me has an AK and that thing is so damn durable. You could literaly pour sand in it and it will keep on blasting lead down range. No accuracy really shifty feel... but SO reliable.

alot of the concern about steel cased rounds is the durability in an aluminim reciever..also, in the strength of the extractor, though i don't know if it will be the same in a .308. also, the harder primes in russian mil surplus or similiar ammo.

many ar guys will tell you that over the long run, the steel will erode away the aluminum in the chamber area, eventually causing stuff like headspace and bore diameter issues. or the steel cases will eventually wear down the extractor, of break the firing pin. also, you might need a stronger spring on the hammer just to set off the primers...all in all, it's over the long haul that steel cased ammo becomes a problem.

btw, my ar hates stell cased ammo. i get lots of FTF, even when freshly lubed. my saiga though, lol...loves the stuff.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

I can't believe that is MN, if it said MO I'd believe it though.

I live about an hour and a half from Apple Valley. I hope the purity army doesn't try to take over Winona. :captain:

WSU?

It better not leach over to Lake Minnetonka either. Last thing we need out by the island is someone to tell the women to put their clothes back on.

Actually, Southeast Technical in Winona. I am glad its getting warm around here because I was beginning to wonder why I left Tucson's fantastic heat to come up here. I hear Lake Minnetonka is the place to be during the summer.

That is why I bought a house on the shores of it. I hear it is snowing at home. :Doh:

Not enough to matter. Maybe in another area.

I was right in 'tonka last night. Met with a Tax guy in EP, and I was MASSIVELY lost. Google gave me bad directions. Or maybe I am incompetent. Either way, I toured the eastern half of Tonk.

Then I find out he has an office on the opposite side of the twin cities in Roseville. A whole 3 miles from my house.

:Doh:

Google map directions blow for 'tonka area. I found that one out, what it told me was .5mi was like 4 miles. I still found my way there though. :)

I have heard the aluminum wear issue. But I have heard more about the varnish on the steel getting gummy and into wrong places then hardening up to tha point you can't get it off.

Thank you for the tip though!

speaking of soldering, best place to electrical supplies on the internets? fuses, leads, heatshrink, etc. I've got a couple projects other than the head unit...

and on a related note, I'm really considering taking the subs out

1. they contribute to the heavy pig factor

2. I rarely listen to music with any real bass

3. the Nextels can play pretty freakin' low by themselves

4. I'll be able to put the package tray cover back on for the first time in like 4 years

I call dibs on one of them if you want to sell :P

By the way, where do you have your nextels highpassed ?

not going to sell 'em ;)

um, 25 or 30 iirc

again, even the varnish issue is over the long haul, improper cleaning and getting the gun EXTREMELY hot at every session. not that that can't happen, but it's going to take a while, and require some laziness on your part, lol..

luckily the AR is a rifle!

The lingo for guns is worse than it is for audio. EVERYTHING is a number or an acronim. the caliber and Xmm system is used, and in the case of the .308 & 7.62x59mm interchangeable. It's almost designed to be intimidating.

mmray, have you ever tried a JP trigger on an AR set up.? I was shocked at how short and smooth it was. m I wanted to look into it.

The only real weapon I want now is super long range accurate rifle. Probably bolt action. I wouldn't mind if it was chambered in .50 either.

6.5-06 custom bolt gun and some damn good glass. If you are serious I can put you in contact with a guy who can build you one.

So I just went to CA.com forums for the first time. "WOW" is all I have to say. Thank God this place isn't like that. I read 2 topics and got the hell out of there!
