Magazine related as Tripledeuce has described . Sometimes short COL cartridges will do this also ( big HP bullets ) How does hard ball work ? I have not looked ,but is there some one that makes a non tilt follower for this Magazine ? See if someone makes that & or a stiffer spring for the mag You can use a shim under the spring & sacrifice one round capacity for increasing pressure on the follower . Changing the recoil spring may cause other problems , but at this point its all experimental . You say this is your duty weapon ? & your carrying it ?

Why not make your own ? If your looking at empty brass , your reloading & if you are like the rest of us here , you have plenty of 5.56 x 45 brass or .223 , doesn't take much to cut them & size them for trimming . There are tutorials here for doing it .

What manufacturer is the 80% lower ? It is a good idea to stay with the same manufacturers receivers , upper & lower , less chance of tolerance stacking between components . I have a Tactical Machining Upper receiver on my DPMS lower receiver & it works fine . Not a tight fit , but a good one . I think a tight fit of the upper & lower is over rated . 1500 yards is stretching the 308 a bit .

It is kinda strange how all these women came out of the wood work ,one after another . All these Hollywood POS's & most sport personalities have Skeletons in there closets or have groupie's that are in another world , so it shouldn't be too hard to come up with something on any of them , true or made up .

Well the " Anonymous" group said its not NK that did the hacking . And the plot thickens !

I almost dropped the hammer on one yesterday , but I will wait a while & see how this rifle does with some time . I almost became an impulse buyer , something I have never done .

Like a bowling ball @ 1300fps., ouch !

I watched the four videos & some things said were not exactly correct . First & this is no big deal to me , but they were referring to 308AR's as all AR 10's , which is no big deal , the only ones that will take offense is some Armalite AR 10 owners , but they are different rifles in some ways . They did specify the GII though . The Remington guy , well he works for them & this rife was sent to this group for testing , which is something I would never do for testing & expect to get the same results as if you got one off the shelf . Just to me ,its not a accurate way or with some of the manufacturers in past test firearms, an honest way of testing a firearm. Because some in the past have sent gone over or altered factory test beds. The two Ejector & fancy material extractor explanations were lame .I don't buy it , I have shot some much ammo from semi & select fire 5.56 & 7.62 rifles & never had one fail !( I did have an extractor break in my select fire ,FNHB once , It was surplus Israeli parts & have no idea the history was on it , that I can not qualify its breaking as it failed . If it was new yes , but that extractor could have had tens of thousands of rounds throughout it & I wouldn't know )The point is I have never had an extractor or ejector fail ,except for that one . I don't like weakening the Bolt by adding another hole in it . These guy's talked like the AR 10 & other 308AR's are junk & none of them will even work the first 100 rounds ! Seems to me, they haven't shot them much , I could be wrong , but just doesn't seem like there experiences went well with the 308's . I can say I have shot thousands of rounds through both my 308 AR's with no problem ( I don't count the PMags not working with CMMG lower because it ran flawlessly with any steel mag put in it, the CMMG lower in no longer in use ) . I don't clean my AR's very much , just a patch or two down the barrel if doing ammo comparison testing , which I have been doing a lot lately . The explanation of the steel feed ramp made some sense , but I believe there is more to it than was lead on to . The change in the Bolt Carrier Key from a bolt on to a integral extension with replaceable tube ? & he says , we got rid of the Key tail & that made more room to make the BCG smaller , well you didn't get ride of anything , where the tail of the Key was , its now an integral key , so to speak . These guys may be the $hit in the gun world , but I feel they don't know much about the 308 Platform . The rifle still interests me & they say they will put 3500 rounds through the rifle by the end of the five day course with out cleaning , just maintenance oiling & I can't wait to see their end review. Just my Opinion .

Try a hand priming tool , you can feel everything . Tight feel or your double click ,may have some kind of primer crimp .

Armalite AR 10 & DPMS 308AR are in some ways two different rifles , as far as specifications . Different receiver configurations , along with other components that are not the same as a DPMS 308 AR . If you have a DPMS 80% , you need to stick with DPMS spec's.

I knew they used this cartridge on Buffalo for a reason . Thanks . I bought this rifle for a Doe only season in PA & used it once & never saw a Deer . I can't wait to use it next season .

What were we talking about <dontknow> again ? <laughs>

Did he mention SHENANIGAN's <lmao>

He's just Modest . <thumbsup>

:blahblah:

Has anyone personally shot a Deer sized animal with this round ? Cast , Jacketed bullet ? I may be swayed into using cast . Tripledeuce , what kind of velocities are you doing with the 385's , gas checks ?

<laughs>

Come on , where's that pic. of the ban hammer ?

Yes , that is what I'm talking about . I still think it was part scam , I just can't fathom someone doing that & the shop giving it back like that , hard to believe .

Rifle stock system , I would just use std 308 rifle spring & 308 rifle buffer (DPMS type ) save some $$ . My rifle stocked 308AR has been working fine for a whole lot of years with DPMS components .

I would like to see that video . For me to want to buy an factory AR of any type is strange to me . I have never bought a factory AR of any type . I still have my first build from the late seventies & have built every one I now own .

Which was used in a lot of assaults !

Congrat's on the new rifle . Your in a new world with the 308 , now the fun begins . Its really not about the brand , its about the Caliber ! You can't go wrong with Armalite . <thumbsup>

There's a decent article in the new NRA Riflemen on this rifle . I know this may sound strange to you'all , but I would like to try one out .

I didn't think you would notice . <dontknow>
