Don't feel bad. Gene Green is my Congressman. Ultra-liberal. Just check his voting regulations on firearms and illegal immigration. Straight-up bleeding-heart liberal democrat.

I have the same trigger. I've only fired 40 rounds through mine so far but no primer-strike problems. If the custom triggers are not rumored to be working you might want to try one of the nickel-boron triggers from somebody like Spike's or Fail Zero (Botch Tactical) or somebody else. I might try one of those myself in the future.

COOL ... let us know how it went "bang" :))

They don't want to conduct an obvious and overt violation of Posse Committatus yet, but we actually already saw it unfold in Boston with the Marathon Bombing. I understand the activities right after the bombing up until the brothers were caught was a massive scale non-stop violation of 4th. Amendment rights. Again, I was not there. This is just what I heard. The UN is going to chip away at the stone little by little. We have to head them off and this will be an ongoing work in progress until we get Congress to do away with the Useless Nations, or our national involvement with it. It has always cost us a fortune to let that miserable, corrupt, and worthless organization exist here. Sad but that is the truth of the matter.

Been a long week. 12-14 hr. days everyday except Tuesday. No time to do anything. Did you get anything resolved on your end Bob?

One suggestion is to simply ask ArmaLite. You can always use the; "If I break down and I'm stuck somewhere and cannot find ArmaLite factory parts, what will work?" Doesn't hurt to ask even if it does sound a little crazy.

Did this right around Memorial Day

Welcome from Texas :))

I've loaded them the other day. Problem is it's been too wet for the outdoor range. I know I won't get out there this week or weekend. Most likely next weekend at the earliest unless something changes.

Just got back with a new set of calipers. Bob I'll get my BCG(s) out tomorrow and take the measurements you specified and post it up here. If I have time, I'll also do photos. I'm tempted to measure out the Spike's upper and write it all down so when I go to the gun show this coming weekend with my calipers I'll look for some .308 BCG(s) and other uppers and see how they all compare.

FWIW ... the Tech I spoke with stated the problem with the PMAGS was cracking. He also stated there is a manufacturer that is now supposedly shipping their .308 with a note that advises the PMAGS will crack and that is why their rifle is shipped WITHOUT a PMAG. I don't really want to post that particular company's name on here but I think Y'all can figure out the rest, especially if everyone on here is pleased with PMAGS after they've actually used them, hence the reason I posed the question about them in this thread. Too bad Magpul doesn't make a PMAG for the AR in 7.62x39. I've always liked their products.

Makes perfect sense to me. <thumbsup>

I agree. My plan is to build with the basic Spikes LPK first then later move on to a Timney or something similar. If my BCG will not allow me to do that then I need to look in to another unit. If so I'll be shopping with my calipers in hand this next time around. I should have some new calipers tonight. I got to be up early tomorrow so if I can't check my BCG(s) tonight I will get to it tomorrow.

The .308 PMAGS I just got in look just fine to me. Actually looks like the plastic is thicker. I'm just going by what the man said. I've yet to use a PMAG in .308 caliber.

Great job on the YouTube videos. Very impressive shotgun. Recoil appears lighter than I had envisioned. <thumbsup>

Thanks for the update. Please let us know how it performs at the range. <thumbsup>

Great job Bob. Got me breathing a sigh of relief here. I planned on building mine with the Spike's .308 LPK for starts so I'm sure the fire control group will work just fine. Nice to know our BCG(s) will work also. How about the bolt catch ... how did that troubleshooting turn out?

I agree. We'll see on my end in a day or two. Let me know how your visit to your friend goes.

Folks ... just got an e-mail from TSRA. It appears as of 4:00 PM today, campus carry in Texas has passed.

No 98 I'm not really interested in entertaining you. He asked me to post something on here so I did. There's other filks on here besides yourself. I post what I post on here for everybody. You find that hilarious, by all means go ahead and enjoy yourself. You don't seem to have many other forms of entertainment.

Bob I just checked my upper and lower together with the BCG and charging handle in place. Slid a 20 round mag in and it locked as expected. Fire control group is not installed. Buffer system not installed. Pulled back on the charging handle and the bolt would not clear, did the same thing you described. We both have the same upper and BCG. We have different barrels. My calipers are nowhere to be found yet I'll get another set tomorrow if I get home in time and I'll take the same measurements. Hopefully my wrench will be in by Wednesday (and it will be the right wrench) and I'll get mine together and see what happens. Meanwhile, please let me know what turns out with your friend's weapon when you compare. Sorry to hear about the setback.

98 .... you just don't appreciate honest questions. I'm sure you'll get over it. Maybe not as soon as I get the rifle built, but you'll get over it. :))

No problem brother I'm doing just fine ... :)) :)) :))

So is it his bolt, or the machining of his upper receiver?
