Again...I shoot the stuff outta my machineguns and have had ZERO issues. Your mileage may vary but it would surprise me. The "ring" in the chamber was from where the case separated I would wager and was only a surface imperfection... I've seen separated brass make the EXACT same mark. A...

I haven't even SEEN any laquer cased Wolf .223 (their early stuff) in at least a couple of years. I "may" have a case of it left in my stash (I bought 5k of it originally) but the majority of it was eaten by my Ruger AC556. Like I said in my above post, my M16 didn't care for it once it got...

EVERY Form 4 I have (and my Form 1's) state: "For my personal use and investment." -J.Burnett

I'm assuming his "0% forging" was a forged AR receiver sans ANY machine operations... The forge (ie., pound the ***** out of) raw aluminum to get the basic outline/dimensions/shape of the lower and THEN machine away all that isn't necessary.... I've done this on a couple of raw BAR forgings...

STANAG is a European "screw" mount... Very similar to, let's say, an AR carry-handle mount. There is a milled trough in the base (female) and the rings have and a corresponding male end on the rings... They are attached to the base via hardened mounting bolts (as opposed to a dovetail style...

I've heard this for years and there's some validity to it with the previous laquer-coated Wolf... But I haven't had a STITCH of problems with their ammo. Now, when it first came out with the laquer cases I DID have issues when I fired it out of my AR or M16 but never a single issue out of my...

There's a jig that is sold (Powers Custom I believe) that locates off the trigger housing pin holes to drill the hole for a cleaning rod. It's still a PITA to clean the rifle from the chamber end since you DO have to take out the trigger group and bolt (which means pulling it out of the stock)...

I used to have a couple of AK bullpup variants... One was a Chinese one and the other was a Finnish Valmet... The Valmet was a model 82 I believe and in .223; it was a select-fire conversion by Hard Times Armory (there were less than 5 converted). The Chinese one was known as a Type 83 I...

I was kinda hoping this was going to turn into a machining thread too... :( The truth is, with a Bridgeport (or other good verticle mill) and a lathe with proper tooling ANY firearm can be built from a chunk of billet...Aluminum or alloy steel... :D -J.Burnett

I've taken Browning 1919's and MG34's/42's to the car wash after shooting corrosive surplus 8mm at M.G. shoots... Seems to work QUITE well... -J.Burnett

Here's one I just built for a friend... This one uses the Troy MCS and is set up for DMR... Which is good cuz I wouldn't wanna hump this 15.25 lb mofo very far!! :D -J.Burnett

That's not true... I've sold several Form 1 papered (roll your own) weapons. In fact several suppressor mfg's I know started out by Form 1 building suppressors and then obtained the C2 mfg's license. -J.Burnett

I've had one of the nitrolon G2's mounted on my M4gery for about a year now in a CAA mount. This rifle sees some pretty rough use and gets thrown around in my truck quite a bit. I've never had a bit of problem out of either the light or the mount and I'm pretty abusive on equipment... I've...

I've seen photos of both military and civilian (private) operators using all manners of uppers... I've seen a bunch of Noveske/Vltor VIS's in 9.75"-11.5" in SF/Blackwater hands as well as some LaRue, POF, and others... That just appears to be an 11.5" upper (it's definitely not a 10.5" b/c the...

I've had a couple of them pass through my possession... Every bit as good as the original H&K 91 that still resides in my vault. Probably a pretty good buy too...I think the last one I saw the guy was asking over $1800 for; which is still $400-$600 less than I've seen HK's go for in the past...
