My Lilja barrel, maxim bolt combo runs great. I would have no hesitation purchasing anything from Lilja. They have premium barrels that are second to none in my humble opinion. If you have any concerns you should call them as they have always been very friendly and helpful answering my questions in the past.

How the hell did you get back on the board?

I see that nothing has changed with you. Still pretending to play nice here, and posting nasty comments elsewhere...

His 6 month ban is apparently over. To read some of his dreck on other boards, you have to wonder why he was so anxious to rejoin.

I vote for a permanent ban, or the moderators adding a warning label into his signature line that he can't modify. Something like "Warning read at your own risk. Taking this advice would be worse than taking advice from the jersey shore cast."

I recently bought a barrel and bolt from Templar Custom, when I took all my parts to my local gunsmith they found it was improperly head spaced. I had to return it to TC to be fixed (which he did without charging me shipping or creating a new chamber, sorry tangent from previous barrel purchase). If I would have slapped it together as many internet novices do themselves I could have had a bad situation. Also for what it is worth my gunsmith said it was only the second AR build they had ever done that had a head space problem. So it is rare but you don't want it to be your rifle.

Liberty makes the AR-Stoner barrels. Satern makes cut-rifled barrels at a much higher price point, since they are single-point cut-rifled.

I have examples of both. Once the reamer issues were worked out, the Liberty barrels are a decent pipe. If you still don't understand the role that the ejector plays in potential feeding issues with right side feed lip presentation, you might consider reading this:

If you have any questions or need to attack my character, feel free to PM me. It doesn't look good when you ask for my help here, send kind messages, then go on another forum and conduct yourself in that manner. Maybe nobody every taught you in your formative years, but this is what is referred to as being 2-faced, untrustworthy, and a very bad indicator of character. This forum has always been a place of gentlemanly discourse. If you're looking for strife, envy, or malice, I think you'll be in appropriate company elsewhere.

For the record, I thought Tedward was still in good standing when I posted this. After giving him a second chance subsequent to a 6-month time out, he didn't make it but a few days, and Bwaites banned him before I even knew about it. For those that are wondering, it is extremely difficult to get banned from this forum. The ones that stick out in particular were Ol' Joe, AR Performance, Constructor (AR Performance), Xcountryrider, Woohoo (ARPerformance), and now Tedward. 3 of those bans were from the old forum.

Several of those guys have been banned from multiple forums for misconduct. Harrison (ARPerformance/Constructor/Woohoo/Bustin/Yankindachain) was banned from AR15.com twice in a short period, like 2 weeks. XCR was banned from 6.8 forums recently, even after Constructor tried to go to bat for him. I don't know what else to say. The rules are pretty easy to follow here, and this forum has one of the best reputations among all the others for self-regulating. Maybe someone could start up a forum where all the banned guys hang out, see what happens?

For the Brownell's and AR-Stoner barrels, as long as they chamber and safely fire factory ammo, at an accuracy standard that people are happy with, they only help the cartridge out.

Someone does need to get the message to the manufacturer that a smaller gas port is needed on the 18" MLGS. That will need to be tamed with an adjustable gas block or the RCA adjustable gas key, and buffer weight.

With this configuration, an 18" MLGS with adjustable gas block and rifle RE tube + rifle buffer (5.2oz.) and rifle recoil spring, the guns still run a high cyclic rate with the gas turned almost completely down.

Not surprisingly, it appears they did. A quick review shows they spend quite a bit of bandwidth complaining about what everything wrong about this board, second guessing why some members here are doing what they do, bragging about everything they think know better and, to a lesser degree, whining about how they got banned. Considering their previous behaviors, I would expect nothing less.

Are all those names the same person?
