Ok. Since I I have an audience and my rifle is center stage one more question. On my 223s I love my BAD Lever. Is there an option for this DPMS without machine work?

I have now heard arguments that 308 will not have high chamber pressure issues on factory loads and that the primer crater is a result of bolt build dimensions. I can buy off on both of those. Thank you. What is the explanation of the extrusion on the face of the rim (if that's the proper term)?

When I was trying to figure out if I could go 308 I was probably speed reading and missing the parts about older surplus guns. I'm glad you point that out. Thank you . These are probably some of the sights that I was remembering. http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=140166 Firing .308 Winchester ammunition in a firearm specifically chambered for the 7.62mm NATO risks damage to the firearm and injury to the shooter. Not quite as drastic but cautions against it unless you call the manufacturer There may be others. These were first page results for "difference beteeen 308 and 7.62"

It makes sense for the primer crater but It wasn't clear to me how this would cause the raised marks on the face of the rim or the missing primer Additionally it wasn't clear to me that a NATO chamber could safely fire a 308. I can take your word for it but I have read plenty of others that feel equally as strong to the contrary. Finally my level of knowledge on this is very basic so I felt like I would become lost in a Google search.

Mine has the same. Does that mean these are not to be used with 308?

I think so but not sure. I have only shot it once using Hornady match ammo and am getting signs of high pressure. Wondering if they are chambered in 308 or NATO.

I purchased this rifle second hand and am not sure what it is chambered in. Is it 308?
