That is a nice piece of work... Peter Adams FY-39604

Put me on the list for 2. Peter Adams FY-39604

Fulton Armory used to make a nice one. Peter Adams FY-39604

I have the same experience as HI5-0 the 9x25 open gun I used to shoot would do that... I always put that down to the massive quantity of slow burning powder it used (I think like 15 grains of n110). With the right springs we were able to get the dot not to essentialy not move (just vibrate a little). However I have found that for me I need the dot to rise just a bit for me to be able to call my shots. In a super you might get that effect with a heavy charge of n105 and 115s. Peter Adams FY-39604

Nice going... Maybe all that time spent running around with a 1911 isn't wasted after all... :-). They didn't know who they were messing with. Peter Adams FY-39604

Get the Larue... If you decide not to, I have had good luck with the Warne quick detach rings. http://www.warnescopemounts.com/quick_detach.html Peter Adams FY-39604

Just no... Peter Adams FY-39604

In my springfield 40 the tripps mags are the only ones that work 100% Peter Adams FY-39604

Assuming you can get an upper configured exactly like you want for a similar price, I can't see any real reason not to buy one. Having said that I build mine. Mostly I do it because I enjoy it. In addition I haven't yet found someone who is not a custom builder that will use exactly the parts I want. Also when I have bought one pre-built in the past I usually ended up changing out some of the parts for others so that was money wasted. If you have an opposable thumb and forefinger you can build an AR upper. Peter Adams FY-39604

Darn... I bought a Pro I guess I am no help. Peter Adams FY-39604

What I should have said above about the Vtac part is that torquing the barrel nut doesn't effect handguard alignment/indexing . (Sorry for any confusion that caused). The indexing of the outer receiver nut is what controls the index of the handguard. However due to the construction of the inner barrel retainer nut of the JP system it is easy to remove one of the nubs separating 2 of the gas tube notches if one of the gas tube notches doesn't line up at the torque level you want to use. I'll edit the above response. Peter Adams FY-39604

Remember the vtac tube is not carbon fiber. It is aluminum. The barrel nut that the vtac tube uses is also heavier. So of course the vtac unit is heavier. I do like the barrel nut that jp uses for the vtac. It allows you to torque the barrel nut independently of having to worry about the hand guard alignment. It also allows the easy removal of the handguard for working on the gas system. For instance if you use a rifle length handguard on a gun with a mid-length gas system (which is what I do). One solution to this is to modify the clark to secure the handguard to the barrel nut in the same way that the jp does it (small screws through the handguard into the barrel nut). The metal in the clark barrel nut is not thick enough to tap.. So a friend and I cooked up conversion that used T-nuts attached to the inside of the barrel nut with high temp epoxy. It works ok but was pain to build. If I could get the jp barrel nut by itself I would try to find a carbon tube that's inside diameter was compatible with the outside diameter of the barrel nut and go that route. Sorry to drift your thread slightly... Peter Adams FY 39604

A guy at work let me borrow his copy of their first CD The Big Come Up. He told me , " You gott hear this." He was right... hard to believe the kind of music that can come out of only 2 guys. I liked the stripped down raw sound they have. Peter Adams FY-39604

I did it on a small mill... Peter Adams FY-39604

+1 to what others have said about not breathing this stuff. I was wearing a mask when I did it and was spraying water on the cuts while I did them... You don't want to breathe this stuff... As to durability remember the Clark tube is way overkill from a strength perspective. The diameter and thickness is much greater than actually required. I suspect it was a case of getting the closest tube available in bulk that was about the right size. Would you have a problem if you drilled lots of holes close together? Probably... but that would be true to a greater or lesser extent no matter what material you had chosen. Don't go crazy making it look like swiss cheese and you'll be fine. BTW I used West Systems epoxy (left over from boat building) to paint the holes to keep them from raveling. Peter Adams FY-39604

I have drilled the clark tube I have in several places. No problem. If you want to mount anything though, you really need a backer plate. Something like the ones clark furnishes to mount the sling swivel stud to. Peter Adams FY-39604

00 knowing jeff you'll be able to buy it from him for half price in 6 months. He'll be on to something different. Peter Adams FY-39604

It is some kind of carbon fiber float tube. Looks kinda like a Clark only with a slicker finish (the clark has a matte finish that I like). MiddleMan might know. Peter Adams FY-39604

The only experience I have with one is shooting middle man's gun after a match day. If I was in the market for a 3 gun rifle and didn't build my own I would consider it. I would want a lighter trigger, but that would have to be done with almost any off the shelf gun. I didn't like the slickness of the floattube but that is an easy fix. Unless you buy a jp I can't think of another name brand rifle you can buy that comes this close to being set up and ready to go. I don't know if jeremy has gotten it out to 200 or 300 yards yet or not but results with good ammo at that distance would finish answering what questions I still have about this gun. I don't know what dealer is on this thing but I would be surprised if you could build a gun with comperable specs for much less out of brownell's at dealer cost. If I had the time I'd take it as an exercise. As it is I'll leave it to an intrested party. Peter Adams FY-39604

I am typing this on my blackberry sitting on a train coming back from Long Island. I have just been to see one of my all time favorite bands The Police. I took a trip to Manhattan to visit relatives and found out that The Police were playing one of their last shows at a great outdoor ampitheater called Jones Beach. As an added bonus another of my favorites Elvis Costello and the Imposters were opening for them. Both groups played amazing sets. Glad I finally got to see them live. Peter Adams FY-39604

I have made the same mistake with the browning of not inserting the shell far enough in the mag tube. It leaves you with one in the chamber... One on the lifter... and more in the tube. Mine will work like this. And shooting it is about the only way I can get past it. However, my gun is a mongrel that has had the aluminum mag tube from the sx2 practical fit to it, and some serious polishing and tuning done to it. Ymmv Peter Adams

The browning is somewhat tricky to keep running with the extended tube. If you get one send it to jerry harp at rockin h tactical. He did mine and as long as I maintain it it runs fine. I love the speed feed. Peter Adams FY 39604
