No. We would never expect anything different. Have you seen how many different calibers you can load on this platform?? It’s crazy…good luck stopping at 2.

The issue will be the depth of the tube, the length of the buffer and/or the spring that’s in there. It’s not your carrier. Trust that info or don’t, but that’s what is causing that. The carrier is traveling too far into the tube, or with such force that it’s compressing the rubber pad at a minimum because it’s too light of a buffer with the wrong spring.

I question how often “this is Kim” is really Kim. I mean, it does sound a little like something she would say…but how do we know that it’s not 98’s interpretation of what she might say?

Worst part about that is finding it right where you decide to put the new tool away.

Let’s fix it. We’ll get your gun to eat anything. I’ll bet $100 the info on this site will have you running by next weekend if you give it a little effort.

sold it because: …because even on a gun forum he uses a race junky’s screen name….he has priorities and guns are just a little down the list.

Yeah…he teases with pictures of that thing every chance he gets. Not that I’m complaining…she’s gorgeous.

I question the accuracy of the scale. You feel that one is pretty well calibrated? The reason you see other guns running 3.8oz buffers is because they’ve tried to cheap out. They undersize the gas port to make up for the lighter buffer…and then people come onto the internet to find out why the gun jams regularly. 99.99% of the time it’s a bad recoil system and/or an undersized gas port. Get the right buffer and spring in there, get the hole right, you’ll have a rifle that eats any ammo you feed it.

@survivalshop was a pretty cool guy. We miss him around here.

What buffer do you have in it? Make sure it’s 5.4 oz +/- and that it’s the right size for your tube depth.

We typically try to keep upper and lower receivers of the same make to have less headaches. Having no real spec for the big frames means everyone has something just a little bit different than the others. Can’t always go that way though and plenty have mixed and matched before. Stag makes decent stuff, so I’m optimistic all will fine. The proof is in the final product. Check out all the other fun issues folks have with their builds. Make sure your recoil system is correct and check the size of the gas port in your barrel before final assembly. There’s plenty of threads around here solving function problems that will give you an idea of what to look for.

Looks like the Armalite cut on those…keep us posted if that mates up well. Claims everything else about it is DPMS compatible. Worst case a Stag lower solves the problem and you have the Armalite for another build. Hopefully it works out great and you’ve got a functional rifle up and running soon. Looking forward to the range report.

Baking is probably overrated. MAPP gas maybe?

Sexy.

He didn’t really want the Steiner anyways. If something doesn’t go right, he can still get the one he really wanted.

I think it’s worth a shot. For science.

How long do you figure that Steiner holds up in the oven? There’s gonna be some pucker factor that day…should probably live stream that part so we can all cringe…

Rules are meant to be broken. No rules makes a lot of stuff fair game.

Oh schit! Last one?!? Better fire up that computer and warm up Beltfed’s card. you do a beautiful job with the cases.

I was going to say the same. Or check it out in full sun at that level.

Is that you???^^^

Kinda like first grade LGBTQ +\- class.

Looks like you have a QD socket on the stock. Get an attachment of your choice for the rail and you’re good to go.
