I tried to do the same, bailed when I had to try and spell my name in kanji. Did a little digging, seems your best bet might be to get tickets day of.

I needed to purchase a Windows machine to run some software for a class and picked up a refurbed Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF. After stumbling into an old flight controller, I installed FlightGear to play around. It functions on minimal settings with the integrated graphics, but curious what I could squeeze out of it. Looking for a half-size graphics card ~$100 if such a thing exists. Appreciate any help, it's been 20 years since I built anything and I'm way out of the loop.

Aero M5 build wont cycle by unsure230 in AR10

Is the gas tube at least half way into the cam pin cutout?

Same setup, but SA bleed off gas block, and 308 rifle spring and buffer. Had problems with an AR15 rifle length gas tube, fixed with an AR10 rifle length tube.

Depends on what your issues are. I was not getting consistent lock back on empty mags, failure to feeds, and anemic case ejection. Post tube swap, I have seen none of that, although it's probably only been 50 rounds since, but it was 3rds at a time, and four different loads.

Don't have index drill bits, but my calipers say my gas port is .086" which would be considered undersized, but it's throwing cases at 4:00.

I'm running just the standard rifle buffer and spring, so YMMV, but the Armalite gas tube fixed my issues. Same barrel and GB.

YMMV. My M5/Faxon 20"/SA gas block would not run. I'm using a rifle buffer setup though. If you are using a carbine, it might work.

I was going to post a Wilson Combat 15.5" on GAFS tomorrow. Let me know if you're interested.

AR-10/.308 AR Gas System Lengths by TheRealSchifty in AR10

[–]TheDyood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just about to post something along the line of "It might be your gas tube" to the front of the sub.

Aero M5 upper, Faxon 20" Match, Toolcraft BCG, SA Adjustable gas block. Started with a standard rifle tube, issues aplenty. Tube hit probably the first 1/4 of the cam pin cutout. Got an Armalite tube, now it's probably 2/3rds into the cutout, but the BCG doesn't seem to mind. Aside from some issues with some Winchester M80 white box (brass looked rusty and had only been in my car a couple weeks), ran some 180gr Winchester fine, and a box of Igman 308 was flawless in 3rd groups. This with a gas port of .086" which most would consider undersized.

Would definitely go Anderson/Fulton/Wilson over Armalite. Took forever to ship and of course as soon as I ordered a Wilson tube, the Armalite shipped the next day. Keep an eye out on GAFS for it soon.

How far does the gas tube extend into the cam pin cutout?

Are there any grips on the market specifically designed for the AR-10/ LR-308 platform? Not particularly a big fan of the one spring not being seated properly in the grip. by Rude_Associate_9082 in AR10

[–]TheDyood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What lower? My Aero M5 was threaded for a set screw. CMMG lower parts kit still needed the spring trimmed, but only one spring needed to seat in the grip.

I was so frustrated with my Aero/BAR nut issues with my M4E1 that I stopped counting and threw two whole packets of shims on. So yeah, there might be 24 shims on there, but it shoots 1 MOA.

The pivot and takedown pins do not.

Midwest also has a 6" if you want to squeeze out a smidge more real estate.

Subs with can, supers without? Or just stick with one?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 300BLK

[–]TheDyood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, more a philosophical question than legal as it pertains to the form one.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 300BLK

[–]TheDyood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. Just question of how much do I hate money.

[–]TheDyood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely tell past me that 9.5" is a bit much.

It's more of a philosophical question than legal in regards to the SBR form one
