This holds true

That seems right. Never graced my paws with something fancy like that. Thanks for looking.

Nice.

Not a bad piece of gear. No issues just curious if the origin.

Agreed. Thanks!

Thanks Matt, My understanding is some various Coated as well.

Out of curiosity, who might make a non chrome lined 308 BCG?

I like it.

Thanks, understanding there are a couple different schools of thought to these, I held back from the idea as long as practical. Not being an expert, I'd loosely recommend a gun without but keep it in the budget if push comes to shove.

^?

^+1 Agreed

Ran out of edit time. *The bolt was a lot less fouled as advertised.

Shot this yesterday. All went well. Started off 4 clicks out from closed. Loaded one (WWB ball) Got lock back. Went back to 2 and 3 for a couple more singles and the bolt didn't lock back. Back to 4 clicks. Worked well with WWB, Rem 150 grain, SB 180, a few hand loaded 168 grain, Aussie. F4. Took ejection path from 1oclock to 3-4. Brass piled up in an approx 20" circle. Worked both with standard DPMS buffer / spring and sprinco orange / KAK other than a bit of difference in the push not a huge variable. I'm a little torn there, I like a heavier set up. Kind of compared to liking a heavier clutch to a lighter one. Meh, good to know it works with both. For what it's worth only metering to about 25% of the available gas seems like a pretty gassy gun? I should have measured the gas port in the barrel when the block was off but got tunnel vision in getting it put together and running The SLR was the icing on the cake if you will. I admittedly think I was in denial about gas. No regrets & appreciate the info here.

At least it didn't bite off your nipple ?

^????

???

Beats me, that's why I was asking ? On a serious note, never used the stuff deer hunting, forgot it was in the store

Yeah, I'm pretty easy lol. Hey, I trust y'all. Now, please explain to the group how you get your deer urine. ?

Done. Piece of cake. Of the entire project, getting the damned crush washer off gave the most grief. Have a pack of crush washers coming tomorrow, then hit the rang to tune it in. If anyone needs a spare SST crush washer, I'd be glad to send one as I'll have a few extras.

Funny you say, there was a lightly atomized mist on my glasss

Yep, some of the learning I've done here. Appreciate it Feel free to speak freely ;)

Still breaking in, at the moment runs a bit better wet. I like a little oil, but wouldn't want to make this a long term habit.

Looks that way!

I think so :)
