SC I just remembered last year I helped my buddy build a 308...his rifle did the same thing almost...but it just wouldnt group after a cold barrel shot..I told him to send it back...which he did...put on the replacement barrel and it shoots sub moa.......$hit happens...send it back and get a new one Wash

Welcome to the forum Sctech...is it a factory built rifle ? Wash

Survival no kidding? daaaamn....I better give the ol gal some respect ! I had no clue Wash

Robo.....no wonder the gb split open...I missed that in his post.....Yikes. Wash

Survival ive had the python and trooper forever... neither one has had a box thru them......I havnt priced the python...are they up there? Wash

Welcome aboard ! lets get a few built up Wash

Bean its a smokin hot fairly accurate round that is supposed to be a great hunting round...thats what we had in our rifles for deer hunting... Wash

Tg the adjustable gas blocks are the ticket....I like em...gas tube length piece o cake...dont fret Wash

Thanks Frank ! might take you up on that! Wash

Sounds good...lol..... huntin and gambling Wash

Not your problem Chase...they were out at 10 am when I looked at the email...the email arrived at 430 am.......Wash

Frank Im on my way to hunt with ya ...how far from Big D ? Welcome to the forum Wash

05.....so do what the brothers have suggested for sure.....my 2cents....you proly have one or two things going on...we have to eliminate the short stroke gas problem first....but you just stated it boogers up on charging.. when you put in the mag release..did you screw the lever down till it almost hits the lower...do the mags rock or feel loose in the magwell? Can you get it to feed by holding the mag a certain way? So off the bolt catch it feeds......But...when you pull back and let fly it fails to feed? Heres what a stock dpms buffer looks like and spring..we gotta start from first base.. also...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? Wash Oh...the inside length of the buffer tube is 7 inches for the spring and buffer pictured here ....is that the tube you have?...and when you installed the mag release did you take a punch or screwdriver and push the mag button down while spinning on the mag release down to the lower? Is your upper/lower fit nice and tight ?

TG....its a satin bead blasted finish on the BA barrel...no your are not even close to the center of uranus....theres prolly a few in front of you ...lol and let me help you with the gas tube lengths...the barrel length has not much to do with the gas tube length until you get into pistol/sbr barrel lengths...like under 12 "....so...there are pistol length gas tubes which you arnt concerned with...then you jump up to carbine gas which can be used on16" barrels or even shorter...it depends on the caliber and how much gas it produces....what you are wanting is rifle length or mid length for your ar308...im partial to mid lengths but im also using it in 16" and 18" barrels...I guess what im saying is no carbine gas tube ...and 18"barrel length doesnt automatically put you in a certain gas tube length and certainly not a carbine length gas tube for an AR308 Wash

R2 How ya doin my brother? dont forget to pick me up Wash

Haha no worries Wash, your drift has been coming across crystal clear! I think it's a great looking rail but I would prefer the clamp-screw connection, now that I see how well the SLR mounted up. I still think it would be a good light-duty rail, sparing it any heavy bouncing on a bipod. Frank....yep..I just dont wanna see our crew from Texas get hosed...lol Now you see the how the SLR mounts up...good ! Wash

Mrmac Well I guess im getting so scattered brained I forgot they are on the inside...lol Wash

Frank....now you're catchin my drift....send that fugly thing back to wherever you got it....and if you got it and asked them for the recommendation then they screwd you...send it back...hell it wasnt as cheap as it looks either...I was surprised it cost that much....the lever that they call the switchback that clamps down is bad engineering to begin with...if a handguard doesnt thread down onto the barrel nut and then get some help with set screws/clamping screws...its lacking somewhat .. Wash

Tg....did you miss my post? http://ballisticadvantage.com/20-inch-308-bull-rifle-ss-premium-barrel.html whats wrong with this one?...right down your alley...pretty much what you asked for isnt it? Wash

Halo thats a pretty limited group of uppers....and he sez "that line up almost perfectly without the gap" Im thinkin thats a Fortis F up in design why should you have to deal with that? Wash

Mrmac....ill put em the smoker...but you gotta take off the hair Wash

Well ...if your slides are camo...and your socks are black....and your pistola is large enough...its okay. Wash

ME TOO ! Wash

Tg here you go http://ballisticadvantage.com/20-inch-308-bull-rifle-ss-premium-barrel.html I have one of their barrels in 16"...they shoot good Wash

Hoyt Mega rocks...you will be very happy with your new piece...its gonna be a good shooter Wash
