Jross.....$hitcan that alum. gb and get a steel gb thats not a clamshell type.. Wash

05 you gotta do this.... pull the charging handle back and let the mag catch hold the bolt.. ....then pull on the charging handle and measure to see how much further you can pull the bolt back off the bolt catch? "Bolt lug is hitting the back of the case to push it forward.. " .. I dont understand what you mean? ive never had a Dpms car buffer at 2.25...all of mine are 2.50 and you said off the bolt catch it feeds fine in your post...right?...pics would be nice Wash

Now thats rich! LOL good lookin death machine all right ! Wash

Jross fingers crossed....it'll work...permatex has never let me down...its the next best thing to duct tape there is.... Wash

You certainly went with a nice way to take off the brake....im no gunsmith...someone that is will be along...but I would call troy and work it out with them if it was me.. Wash

4150. So how were you removing the brake?...was the upper in a upper claw while you were removing the brake? Wash

JH all of my 308's are 16" cept one and its 18"....you will have a great hunter with either one im sure Wash

SCgood luck...it may work out for you. Wash

SC what the hell clean it up and start over....I came across a bench rest shooters site while searching for some answers for you and one statement was a muzzle heavy rifles shot string will rise. but yours is not consistent ...so I dunno....this is the nitty gritty lol http://www.6mmbr.com/verticaltips.html im no benchrest shooter...they wouldnt even let me in the parking lot of a match...I got kicked off a trap field during a tournament for laffin...so I dunno bout this benchrest vood doo stuff Wash

Halo you still have em..are they in great shape? Wash

SC if it were me.....I would re -torque the barrel nut...and while the barrel is off I would give it a good inspection...look at the crown of the barrel too then clean the barrel with the copper fouling/lead fouling chemicals....then go shoot it after you torque it back down...you may be surprised. but wait a min...you got 100 /200 rounds down the pipe and its just now doing it? what about before...did it ever group real nice? Wash

Ive got three of these...3lb crisp and Vance the owner is a great person....their charge handles are sweet too.....you will like the trigger. I would buy a geisllie trigger for that kind of money before the wilson Wash

Hoyt We might still have the group buy rough justice for the mech armor trigger just what you want...they are sponsors here awesome drop in trigger system http://forum.308ar.com/topic/12286-mech-armor-rough-justice-30-trigger/#comment-169219 go take a look Wash

JROSS. Yeppers that pretty much sums it up Wash

Sctech Wow forgot to ask...new barrel not broken in? old barrel broken in?....have you cleaned the barrel properly for copper fouling lead fouling? and of course you know that theres a fine line between having the barrels condition too clean ....just trying to solve the puzzle...but in the end it Can be a bad barrel ....oh...what about the optics...watcha got? Wash

Thats the spirit ! prolly be great Wash

Doc...you forget one Texan equals 2 Az boys....Ha Wash

Geez...sounds to good to be true......back away slowly from the website....LOL Wash
