Hoot, You are saying that the shavings that I am getting are from the swipe that the ejector is making. I will have to see what the base hobby shop has available for tools. All my tools are back home in Salt Lake.

I am sitting in the 300rd range. I get the bur near the primer on every round (New, reload or surplus). I have gotten the shavings since day one. I would work the ejector when I cleaned it but this last time I took it out to the range I was about 60rds in then it started stove piping every round. I pulled BCG and looked at the bolt the ejector was stuck down. I took it home pulled the ejector's pin and cycled the action a few times until the ejector was far enough out that I could grab it with some pliers. I found a lot of shavings in there.

I have no issues with breaking down my rifle as far as I need, but when it comes to altering the shape of something I need to see it done before I will even contemplate attempting it. Is there a video of this process (I'm a visual learner) or should I just take it to a gunsmith?

Every time I clean my rifle after shooting it I keep finding brass shaving in the chamber and around the BCG. This is happening with any rounds that I shoot (surplus, factory or reloads). The shaving jammed up my ejector to the point I would stove pipe every round. <dontknow> Is this a common thing with the LAR-8 or just my rifle? Also is there a way to keep it from creating the shavings?

I spoke with RRA tech department and found out that the gas block on a RRA chrome molly is .750.

Are the gas blocks RRA only or can you swap them out with other brands?

Thank you.

Sorry if I am being thick headed but you are saying that the stocks for most of the 308 platforms will cross over. I will mesure my buffer today. Thank you.

I have read the disclaimer from RRA. Like I said before, I am in the market for stocks and buffers at the moment. I am also just trying to see what else is out there.

I didn't wait at all. I got a sizable gift certificate to Impact Guns from my family as an early Christmas gift while I was home on leave. I walked in and they had one on the wall. Also I am not looking to change out much. I would like to see what is available.

I would love to find out what other stocks and buffers are available mainly. I also want to know what other parts are out there that I do not have to go through RRA for.

I just purchased a LAR-8. I am curious what parts are interchangeable with other platforms. Also what after market parts are out there; stocks, buffers, ect... I am aware that the Magpul PRS will work but you have to modify the cheek piece.

The Enfield was left to me by my Grandfather. I leave it in my dad's gun safe in Salt Lake. I will snap some pictures of it for you next time I am home.

I found it on a Google search for AR 308 buffer.

Thank you everyone. (unforgiven) I have been in for almost 10 years now and am feeling old every day. We have these kids born in 94 getting in now.

Hello to all. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am an Air Traffic Controller in the Navy. I am from the Salt Lake area (Go Utes) living in San Diego. I just bought a LAR-8 A4 and I am new to the 308 AR scene. I am familiar with the basics of the AR platform from my experience through the Navy. I have been shooting most of my life. I already have a SA 1911, Remington 700, and a sportsman-ized Lee Enfield. I am a gearhead at heart. Until now I have been using most of my funds on my Cummins. I took a 235bhp truck to 381hp at the rear wheels. My family augmented my rifle fund so I was able to pick get my LAR-8.
