I just got my wife a used 2011 Mustang & I like the car , looks great & has more power than you will ever need.

Dismal year , weather was mostly real cold. I got a Deer with my crossbow & slug gun ,but Pickens were scarce . I did miss a nice buck with my cross bow early in the last week of Archery , before gun week, but that was the best of the two week hunt. County kill was 38% low this year , I hear. What I think is really cool is, I mounted my Contour HD video camera to my cross bow & shotgun & have video of the buck miss & a Doe shot at 80 + yards. Just have to figure how to put them here,if I can.

FDE is where's its at !

There might be a few if I remember correctly.

MY ejection pattern changed on my 16 " 308 with the flat wire & the rifle seems to shoot smoother , but the last part is not a scientific fact , just my observation

Why not have a dedicated 300blk upper ? That way you can have a 20" 5.56/223 & a 300blk with one lower , like having two rifles .

The 110's spit out there pretty good . I have not gone the max yet or close to it , but they shoot very well from my 16" 1-8 , Wilson Combat barrel . Barne's is coming out with a 115 gr. pill or may be out already.

Nice .

If you don't notice that when seating , which you should , final inspection should have discovered it , for sure.

Well I do need one for my Black Rain Ordinance receiver set . Does it never end ! :'( Gotta wait till I come back from Hunt Camp .

That sucks ! Any idea why it came apart ? Just weakened from age & use ? Never mind , I see you posted it .

Now that's envy !

Well, he's welcome to spend some time here if he wants. it may benefit his business . I can believe , time, would be a problem for him. Most of us here are used to fitting grips & such . As long as its not too much. The 30'06 is some thing I would also be interested in building, so I will be following how it goes. I would also like to here about your range time with this lower. Looks like a solid platform.

One of us , no way ! ::)

Clean the threads of oil/grease & use a little blue loc tite on them to keep hand guard torqued . You will still be able to remove it, if need be . There are a lot of good triggers out there . If you want to keep it with a std. type trigger , Spikes Tactical has a enhanced trigger set , that are NIB coated & mine settled it at about 5 1/2 # & is nice & smooth . ALG Defense also has some nice smooth triggers in stock configuration , the one I have has settled out at about 5 1/4 # & is also coated . Both triggers are in the $ 60 range, The ALG has two types to choose from . And of course , there's always the higher dollar ones , which are much better. Most don't have the problems , you are experiencing with your DPMS . I think they have the largest production numbers of all that pattern of 308AR's & with a lot of them being produced , you get a few that are sub par . Sending it back many times is not a good reference to there customer service, that's for sure .

You say it has a roll pin for the bolt stop , if need be how would you remove it ? I see no way to get a pin punch to the opposite side to remove it . DPMS & others use a screw pin for the ability to remove the bolt stop . In my opinion , this prototype has a kinda crude look , nice solid looking lower though. What is the protrusion on the front of the mag well ? Or is that for multi mag type configurations ? The BAR 30'06 is interesting , but we have already discussed what would be needed to make a complete rifle happen (98 brought much of that up )

If head space was good , I find it odd that there would be something wrong with the chamber , but as said , a chamber casting would be the true gage of what its spec's are . Throat could be wrong or not enough . The barrel bore may even be wrong . Hard to say The fact that different bullet configurations are producing the same results is troubling.

Check the primer pocket for build up , which may be keeping it from going all the way in or a primer crimp may also cause this problem & or your primer seating may need adj. , if that machine has that ability . My guess is primer crimp . If so , you can get a tool made by various manufacturers to remove it or lightly de-burr it with a case neck de-burring tool.

I'm in on one , but even $ 350 is too much for just a trigger system to me & as said , even though they say BATFE approved , it will not take long before BATFE says some thing to the contrary , me thinks.

Should be OK , now using a scope cover may be problematic . You can always use higher rings or mount , if you want to go that route.

I have used the RCBS lube & pad for 20 + years or more & am using the Dillon spray lube now & its been working great . The cases have to be lubed ether individually or sprayed, to resize . Clean the inside of the die often to keep build up low & if your die has a vent port , make sure it stays clear. RCBS & others sell a brush to lube the inside of the case for sizing .I tumble my brass with Walnut or corn cob media before I start & then size , de-prime , then they go into the Tumbler with hot water , some dish soap , Lemishine & SS tumbling media & it looks better than new , when done . The mixture removes every thing but brand new looking brass.

"One shot with each trigger pull" Seems to me your only pulling it once ,but with multiple shots,mechanically or not . I don't see it hold up with in the existing law.( but would still like to have one ) I have owned both a FNHB & M 14 , in select fire & they eat ammo ,just like any other full auto , but the 308 in full auto is a blast . I'm working on some VHS tapes & turning them into DVD's , its going to take me a while to get the process down , so I can share them. (hunting season )

Good luck finding the powder you want . Kinda hit & miss with just about all types . Primers are starting to get , well I wouldn't say plentiful , but there are more out there. Be careful & read up & practice , have fun . I weigh my brass & put them in weight categories , even the same head stamp.

Wow !

The Dillon RL 550B is convertible & has conversions for just about any caliber you want & is quit easy to change them . Dillon does have machines that are caliber specific , but just in pistol calibers , if memory serves me . The Square deal "B" is pistol caliber specific , had to look it up .
