Derp-------------Sold in 3 minutes... Please Pm or email.

I was told this issue exists with many early carriers by a tech dude at armalite. That said, my other non-fa carriers dont have the ridge. Ill see if i can drum up some pictures.

98z5v. Correct. Ill have a hell of a time getting a shot of the ridge, or relief in the bcg. Short of that, all pictured would be a beat up firing pin and rings. What was surprising was the force required to free it.

The cam and retaining pin must be removed for the bolt fall deeper into the carrier. The firing pin was used to take the force of the drift instead of the rear of the bolt and was beat up in the process.

Of course. Though any damage to the channel would be at the ridge point. Going to take great care not to let it fall in again.

The rings are shredded, so of course they'll get swapped out. Probably the fp too.

Ok. Torched it and sacrificed the firing pin, my knuckles, and the rings obviously.... Success!! Appears undamaged. A testament to american steel and stubbornness.

Gentleman. Just bought my 10th armalite and ran into what im told is a common issue. The bcg in question is early. Probably 2004 or older. It seems there is a ridge in the inner channel and if the bolt is pushed too deep into the carrier, the gas rings stick on that channel. The general consensus is brute force. A call to armalite confirmed this. Well, after numerous attempts with a padded dowel, vice and hammer, ive had no luck. Though it turns freely, it won't come out. Thinking the seller was aware of the issue. Any ideas? Put it to the press?

Sold. Will edit on a hard line

still available.

Browning and Gaston fella here. I do however love the cougars.....

Title says it. Came in a package. Unfired and fairly clean. Rifle length, 12". These retail for 200. Dpms nut can be had for 30 from jp, will come with Armalite nut. Great for 3 gun or lightweight build. 120 plus shipping I think is a steal. Please PM or email. I've a long history in the shooting community. Over 250 in feedback

Quoted for truth.

Lovely build and parts choices. Condolences on the wallet depletion.

*tips hat*

Welcome from a fellow SoCaler.

Thanks man. Looks great!

Thanks broseph.

Cool. Yes, Bushmaster is just rebranded dpms. And i was referring to the 308 versions. Can you post a picture by chance?

Ive seen that combo quite a bit while searching, but not the reverse.

Does anybody have a shot of these two together? Snagged a bushy lower and am trying to hunt down a good upper match. The tactical machining offering looks to be the cleanest option. If not, any recommendations other than the standard dpms type? Thanks in advance.

Oddly enough, I had cool cough playing while reading your post. Which led to the comment. /Mods excuse the oddball tangent.

I dig your sig and avatar good sir. Shame Glenn failed to be a part of the 27 club....
