Be careful posting those port sizes...don't want any industry types learning your secrets

Beernopoly?

that's what she said....

Only place PBR belongs is with a bearded hipster wearing skinny jeans and non prescription glasses, riding a green fixed gear bike with yellow rims.

Gotta say it looks pretty cool. If I was up for a bolt gun I wouldn't hesitate.

I was honestly disappointed it didn't go over better. I expected more lulz

Yeah....that's pretty damn delicious lol.

It's noveske. I expect better. Those were rock river level girls. Maybe armalite at best.

you could have done it without sounding bitchy lol. I made an assumption...JTs measurements seem to confirm that assumption. If the assumption was wrong and you have thoroughly tested thousands of 308 16" rifle gas barrels than great, we can move on to other areas of troubleshooting. That's kinda what we do here btw. Get 308ARs running. We don't have hundreds of members per week shooting 900 yds, but we do ok anyway. We may not have a huge active membership, but tons of people do pass through here on the quest for info. Keep that in mind.

Did you know your response sounded unnecessarily defensive and a little bit catty? Welcome to the forum.

Good tip. They have been saying FG was going away for a long time. Guess the push is on.

Lol

Every day I see dumbshits doing dumb shiit on bikes...and they are the first to cry about drivers not looking out for them. When I see the douche cutting across 3 lanes at twice the speed limit I cross my fingers and fantasize that some old lady pulls out in front of them, causing them to superman over the hood and bounce down the pavement 200' into incoming traffic where a tanker truck runs over their lower half cutting them in two and then explodes cauterizing the wound and keeping them alive, and then in the hospital they receive the citations from the police and the lawsuit paperwork.

Tier 1 hipsters have deep pockets.

Been looking at videos of guys using the PA multicam stencils. They come out really nice. I need another sopmod stock and thinking of getting the multicam B5 one

Obnoxious song to boot. Those guys need to call Matt best.

I'm gonna hold out for 3 ejectors and 2 extractors

Tough call. Might be a good idea to send it to them. Might be a learning experience for all concerned. Down side is that they may not know these weapons well. Also, as a brand new build, its hard to say it's one problem or another definitively. 308 builds are notorious for being sticky until broken in.

oh man...tried to stay away but that one was awesome.

My issue with xcaliber was that they jumped right into making you this barrel. I doubt they have made this 16" rifle gas configuration before and most likely didn't test it. I e-mailed them twice and they answered my other questions but totally ignored my question about port size both times. I wouldn't be surprised it the used the same port size as the other barrel configurations and it's causing you to be undergassed. Maybe measure your port and compare it to what DNP or SS have? Criterion sold me because they spent a few months developing a functioning barrel. Tested it with several different brands of ammo before finalizing the port size.

Ha! Rifle looks a little goofy though

Hey jt...a almost made a post about this! I used a normal milspec fwd assist and it did the same thing. Carrier wouldn't move back. My solution was to just pop the pin out of the claw on the FA and take it apart. The rear section makes a plug and doesn't protrude into the cavity. No need to buy anything else.

THIS. 100%. I have the advantage of disliking the GOP almost as much as the dems. this hypocrisy is painfully obvious on gun boards.

Always outnumbered, never outgunned.
