    ^^^^^^^^ bra is the best you got for me. :lol2:
    Can't say say it's a typo either o is second alpha top row from the right. A is middle row all th way to the left. So unless ( on a phone) your Finger is as wide as your finger is long it ain't a typo.

    I left the FF field cause......... Well can't pay the bills on a volunteer salary. Plus the 48 or so days I get a year at home just ain't enough time to do any of the dept courses required.


    Oh thank you by the way.

    So your saying that you can read the keyboard? But don't know diddly about ARs.

    Well you are correct about one thing...
    "Bro" would not be appropriate for one with a hurt mangina.

    For the record....The difference between mil-spec and commercial extensions is not the metal. Yes, most commercial extensions are 6061 but so are a lot of mil-spec extensions. Any company worth a damn will tell you what kind of aluminum its made of. You will pay a little more for the 7075 extension and they are truly Mil-Spec.

    You will notice when vendors sell 6061 extensions, they will use the term "Mil-Spec Diameter". That is because its the same size as mil spec but it does not meet the military specifications.

    An example would be the PSA build kits. They use 6061 Mil Spec Diameter extensions in them to keep the price down.

    Basically what your saying is that they are like a blemished lower specs are sorta the same just something didn't hack it for the final cut? That's the way I am interpreting it other than getting lowers I haven't done any builds. Looking at doing at least one so I figured I'd ask.

    I kept getting sidetracked when I kept wanting g to message you. I got it my friend. You need to sell those. Thanks so much. I have more batteries I'll send soon.

    No worries take your time! Just wanted to make sure that the good Ole USPS didn't decide to send it to Cali or lose it.

    Enjoy!

    Nah... Not a comparison. They were never made to be Mil-Spec. They were just made to be the same diameter to fit Mil-Spec sized stocks. They use a cheaper aluminum to construct them rather than 7075 like the military specification calls for.

    Once again, another thread destroyed for no real reason. AF could have refrained from asking him the way he did with a polite little P.S. at the bottom if that was even necessary. The OP poor reply would then not have been needed. How many posts in this thread are worthless? I wish a Mod would clean it up as the question was not a stupid one.

    Not everyone has a PhD. Sometimes the grammar is really bad... who gives a crap? If you do, the OP got it right, don't reply! If you want to destroy a good forum, keep this kind of crap us. It will be sure to drive people away. Some of you should consider posting about half as much. Ask yourself if you are posting anything of value to some else reading... if not, don't reply!

    After some of your posts in..... Taking a SBR to the range and the Speedbump posts maybe you need to take some of your own advice. :wtf:

    OK so I finally decided to read this thread and find out why the hell a discussion on mil spec vs commercial was taking up the better part of 4 days.
    So I learned that AF's dry wit and humor are still intact and he is able to sniff out butthurts like a drug dog at Willy Nelson's house.

    Thanks for the chuckles.

    So where do I get mil spec grid squares?
