Looks good nice build

Here's a pic of a Magpul K2 on my PA10 Gen 2. This is the rubberized version. I am not a big fan of that and will change it out to the Standard K2 grip. The gap is not that bad and it does not bother me.. just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

A little more off hand time with the 458 at 25 yards, another 40 rounds, it's little tighter. I only have 260 rounds through it or $520.00 in ammo which ever way you want to look at it.

less than a second between rounds I consider rapid fire on that beast. Mostly with LOP the recoil is substantial but not what I would call overly harsh

A little update from the last outing. I added the 1" rubber butt pad for the ACE entry length stock. It added just enough length to eliminate any unwanted contact to the face. Still not where I want to be accuracy wise but shooting offhand rapid fire at 25 yards. I'm pretty happy with the results. I think that is a 4' diamond for reference. The hardest thing right now is keeping it fed at the cost of $2.00-$3.00 per round and there are some that run higher.

The buffer stop pin is in a fixed location in the lower receiver and the length of the recoil spring will not extend the buffer past the buffer stop/pin. I would guess having an overly long recoil spring may cause binding or lack of full cycling of the BCG if it is matched to an incorrect (shorter ) buffer tube.

Armalite (AR10) and DPMS (LR308) use different style bolt catches. I ran into a problem with the DPMS style bolt catch hitting the upper and making it inoperative on my PSA PA10 Gen 2 build. PSA uses a Armalite style bolt catch. you might want to check to see if the bolt catch is hitting the upper causing it to be "pinned down" and can't move up the lock the bolt back on an empty mag

Good looking rifle.

As well you to sir. I find myself using Ace stocks, Midwest Industries rails and MagPul K2 pistol grips it's all good stuff and I like the way the guns fit me. The SBR has been upgraded to a Midwest Industries SP series rail

I like the ACE stock I have used it on three of my builds

Still up in the AiR( sorry couldn't help myself) I am running the extractor spring that came with my 308 BCG and only one O-ring. It was running pretty good on slow and rapid fire, but I am not 100% confident at this time. I may be ordering the DPMS extractor spring kit an try that if my problem continues. If that doesn't cure my issues it may be above my paygrade and I will need to consult a professional. I just completed my .458 SOCOM build and it has tapped my ammo resources for the moment. I will be stocking up soon and will report my progress, or lack of it on my next range visit.

I used some North Georgia Arms I picked up at a local gun show. the Big grains was on my short list of ammo to try. The price is right, I know this wont be a cheap gun to shoot , but if I can some money on ammo where I can I will. Thanks for the heads up

nice

I'm liking mine, some of the early ones, mostly Gen 1s has some feeding problems relating to the gas adjustment, It can be sensitive. Mine is a Gen II and has been real reliable . I was getting some over gassing as the rifle started to settle in. I waited for my muzzle brake to arrive and readjusted the gas setting and it has been trouble free ever since. It is a bit on the heavy side but the trigger is good and ergonomics are hard to beat. I also have their RDB. It's the only 2 Kel Tec products I own, I have no complaints and would buy another Kel Tec product

Not too bad...I still have my shoulder. seriously fairly comparable to my .308 AR and Kel Tec RFB also a .308
