I appreciate all the help. After reading everyones posts I definately have too much of a gap between the BCG and buffer. This was my first 308 build and I did not realize they were not MILSPEC like the AR15s. The POF lower must me just a hair different than the DPMS upper. I am going to machine a plug simmilar to the CWS recommended that will take up the 1/32 gap as see what happens. If I keep it light it should noy upset the timing. This is the third issue I have had with the POF lower....not sure I would go that route again. May ebd up with a DPMS lower if I cant make it work.

I checked mine and the gap is minimal at best but yep, gap between BCG and buffer prob the culprit. Will see about that CWS to take up a little of the space. Thanks

Have a DMPS 308 18" Bull Barrel Upper on a POF 308 Lower. A2 stock. Gun shoots well but I noticed the face of the buffer is beat to hell around the edges. Like a small ball-peen hammer went around the edges. It is a full length 308 specific DPMS buffer with 308 spring. Any ideas?
