Gentlemen, Can anyone tell me why my firing pin is making these dimples when I close the bolt over a full 10 round clip? :o Ammo is german Weichkern. This is a LAR-8 Varmint and my first on an AR platform - is this normal? I have to believe the spring in the carrier isn't strong enough to overcome the momentum of slamming home. Any thoughts suggestions? Thank you for your time

I'm so glad you told us that. Every time I laughed out loud I would then get sad. I realize that would have been me some day. The thought of getting the crap beat out of me by a deer, blood leaking out at random places, and hollering like a girl, ... these are all sad things. I think I'm going to reread your post 10 more times just in case 20 years and unknowable bottles of beer cause me to forget a deer won't deliver the exact same enlightening education.

Thanks for the quick reply imschur, Funny, I was just looking at that site before. Then I read the reviews: "Had great expectations as I am currently using one in my 16" RRA Predator Pursuit and love it. It works as advertised. A word of caution on the .308 version. This unit will not fit the RRA LAR-8 Predator HP. The overall length is too long and will not allow the bolt to fully cycle. Following its purchase I have found out that the RRA .308 uses a different buffer tube which does not suit the use of the AR-Restor...much to my disappointment" I think the guy meant that a similar buffer for his predator pursuit in 5.56 worked well, but not 308.

Hey Comrades, My first post, so let me first thank all you service guys for serving. God willing, I pick up my first AR from FFL in a few weeks and I'm trying to figure out what hydro buffer size to order. Would anyone with a standard A2 stock on a LAR-8 pop it out and slap a micrometer on it for me? I called RR tech support and the gent said,"it might be 6 inches"... TWSS. <lmao> Trouble is that buffertech.com has one 5 7/8" (EARR-FS) and one 5 1/4" (EARR-10FS). Please let me know if you can point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time.
