    That's what I thought, because although I couldn't get this delta ring down (because it's new and strong), when I used to clean my service one, I always took those off, and I figured it's the way a standard mil-spec was with that narrowing. I know the A2 version had a thicker barrel, as one of the improvements they made to combat overheating, so I wanted to check to make sure whether it was consistent, but apparently not. I never trained with the A2, so couldn't be sure.

    Sorry it won't work for you, stock, but it's the only stock mil-spec I could find with the carry handle, and since I've had this, Colt, as far as I understand, still hasn't come out with the A1 Retro version, so in hind sight, considering I wanted to avoid waiting until Joe put his second Assualt Rifle ban in effect which prevented me from getting one in 1994, I got it before the election just to make sure, this time....it was a good decision. Now I just have to find time to get out to the range and get it zeroed. :)

    Sleeper trucks with belly dumps lined up a dozen deep waiting for hot mix at the bottom of the hill this morning. Outfit was offering $125/hr for day cab you provide trailer 7 or 8 axles not a lot of takers locally- less you use their trailer. I'll have to find out what they are paying now with so many sleeper trucks in line, must be peanuts.

    I’m new to this dump game but, there are a lot of out of town trucks here doing dump. like from other states. I was thinking it’s slow but they say there’s more work here than where there coming from? I can’t believe this is normal but, I really don’t know?

    Yeah, that’s about how they act since the place is full of comfortably well off fudds who look down their noses at those of us who get our hands dirty for a living.

    I went to a 3 gun competition a few years back with my EDC, AR15 pistol and an AR12 with a 20 round mag. All of these geeks with competition guns, holsters, shirts with sponsors on them. They looked at me like I was some sort of weirdo. Felt like being looked down on by a bunch of Trekkies when you don’t get involved in science fiction debates.
