    Nah she is perfect. I would rather have an ass and legs like that with B cups, than a cottage cheese Kardashian ass with D cups. That gymnast will be as sexy as she is now in her 40s. Kardashian is about to go all Kristina Aguillera in a year or two.

    I don't spend time on TOS or too much on M4C... But I do have a engineering degree that I rely on when discussing metallurgy.

    You're not getting what I am saying. It's not about the weight, it's not about the cool kid factor, it's the rapid cooling/heating that I am concerned about.

    Just imagine how an old thermostat works... heat up one side and it curls up...

    I agree it lightens the barrel and looks way cool, same with the dimples (The dimples are attempting to not induce stresses caused by the complete release of radial material) but I don't believe that the additional stresses caused by differential heating is worth it over the long haul.

    BTW I do hang out here:

    Damn, I'm lost as shit! BUT if there is any way to get pics of that gymnast with the candy cane AR, I can certainly stay focused on the subject at hand for a few more days.

    Was hoping to be very close to 200, as it wont see 1000 rounds a year.

    PLan was to get a Vltor upper receiver, Troy 11" alpha rail, barrel?, and an affordable bcg that is in stock. Putting me at right about 800.

    or going with a complete upper
    like this one

    That for $650 is a screaming deal. Go for it when they come back in stock.

    signed up to get an email when it gets back in stock :thumbsup:

    Are the Del-ton barrels any good?

    And if the Adams Arms gas piston kit was shit or i didnt like it would it be a detrimental mishap or could i just get a Di barrel kit and bolt carrier?

    People still rate their rifles by tier? Lol my beater stag rifle I run through class after class when I teach must be like a tier 4.6 according to most people's opinion of stag but it just runs and run and runs. I'm cool with that lol.

    Stag has made some fine rifles and made the first S&W ones. But if they do not meet or exceed the TDP then they can not be a Tier 1 rifle.

    How do you know if your rifle is Tier 1?

    I have an LMT Defender.

    Why are you concerend with the "TDP"?

    That chart rob made messed up a lot of peoples views on AR's (mine included).

    you dont need a noveske, DD, Colt to take to the range once a month and fire 200 rounds. If you have the money then thats another story but for most people thats not practical

    LMT is a known quality rifle.

    Exactly! I literally am purchasing a larue predatAR right now to be the back up (yes I said back up) to my stag in case it ever goes down in a class. I finally re barreled my stag to an ARP lightweight (afterall I am an ARP dealer) barrel and did a maintenance rebuild on my BCG and replaced the stock fire control due to excessive wear from being so old and so many rounds through it but other then that my stag is tried and true and I love that gun. I laugh when people call stags crap because they aren't a fortune.

    No offense sir but your Stag AND my M&P are not in the same league as LaRue. I would like to see picks of your LaRue after you get it.
