I too am waiting on the soil to dry. My soil is mostly clay so I definitely don't want to till it wet. I did get the grapes and muscadines in the ground though. So now I wait for two years on those haha.

Yeah it may not hit the pin channel but I think it'll be too close to try to drill a dimple. I just don't want it to try to "walk" in the pin channel when tightening. We will see tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah I'll bet those are just the two he put in the pic.  :rofl:

Link to the gas block I have coming.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/251665088639?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I am installing a set screw type gas block on my previously pinned barrel and it looks like the rear most set screw will land very close to the rear pin channel. Have any of you ran in to this? I am thinking i will just drill a dimple for the front set screw and just tighten the rear on up snug with plenty of loctite.

Thanks Ron. I will be borrowing an armorers wrench from a member tonight so I think I have it squared away. It's usually the easy things I screw up though. :pleased:

  Yep that's similar to what I've seen but not normally in those shooting conditions. Mine only does it like right before the sun was going down. Low light basically. "Scope flair" was the term I found online. Sure enough if you back down the magnification it goes away. It does look a little hazy in the first pic though on his scope. Weird for sure.

That's pretty cool! What are you using that water for?

PM Sent thanks.

I remember when I tried to change the channel one time. They said" Uh-uh, I gotta watch my stories!".

So I'm opening this back up. 173rdABN has offered to help but we can't get together until Sunday and I am hoping to get it to the range this weekend. If anyone else in the area can help with it tomorrow, Friday or Saturday afternoon please let me know. I was going to go buy a barrel nut tool but I can't find one in stock anywhere. Thanks!

ok. Dimpling the barrel for the block is what has me most nervous haha. Shouldn't be too hard though. That first cut is the hardest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

thanks. It is a free float hand guard. I'm not sure the retainer will allow enough clearance for the hand guard. Did you just mean to put it on if it wasn't a free float type? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As long as there are no characters named Thorn or Ridge I think we are OK. :pleased:  (I used to work at a bank and at lunch hour the soaps were on. That's how I know those names)

I believe he said something like "he's still alive and I'm gonna make sure he stays that way".

Thanks for the offer Dolomite but I don't ever get out that way. Haha I thought I was in a PM in my earlier posts. Making plans for all to see. Do you have any experience with the cheaper gas blocks or quad rails from ebay. The particular company is Omega Tactical. I assume they are Chinese made at that price.

Welcome!

Just registered as well and looking forward to it. Am I correct in assuming nothing will be sold at this event? I know it's not a gun show but will they be selling accessories or anything? I'm sure there will be freebies so I will make my wife wear a second backpack haha.

Yep it's working now. Thanks!

Someone mind sending me a PM just to test it? Thanks.

Yep and I think a certain villain will be showing up in that episode too.

I had plans to remove my pinned FSB the other night and shave it down to a low profile then re install it. Things however did not go that way. The pins were nearly impossible to get out to I had to grind on them a little and really wail on them with the punch. I managed to finally get it off but I of course had to buy a gas block. I went with a setscrew type and also ordered a 10" free float quad rail.   I do not have the proper barrel nut tools and all of that yet and also do not have access to a drill press needed for dimpling the barrel. Anyone in the Nashville, Mt. Juliet or Lebanon area that's done this before want to help me out with this install? I don't have the parts in yet but I figure they will be here before the weekend.

I have an old gmail account setup to forward so I'll just send them there. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
