not so far

I haven't, figured since the H3 has three tungsten , there wasn't much I could do.........suggestions ?

Currently I have an Armalite carbine buffer system. The rifle shoots everything I put in it reliably. It runs a little too hard for my liking , creasing the brass off the rear of the ejection port bad enough that I cant get it out during the reloading process.......brass lands about 2oclock . The gas clock is pinned and I like that so I am looking at the buffer ......The XH Buffer specifically. Quite a bit heavier than the H3 I have in it now , any experience or opinions with it ?..................hate to buy it then lose reliability, it needs to slow down though . Thank you

Thanks , it’s a good help ... confirmation wise. I was trying to do math from some manuals , coupled with claimed results I have been finding . When end I first finished building I bought a box of factory just for function . It was Norma match 168gr . It chronied right at 2650 but the brass was hammered . It was really tough to resize and the head area took a bit of a stretch..... so I think I am on the right track . Shooting good , SD is surprisingly good with the AR Comp .

I’ve been running 10 round ladder loads for in a 16” 308win , 1:10 , bare 416r conventional land and groove . New Winchester cases , Fed 210 , 2.80” Right now I am doing the tests for 168gr Nosler CC . I am noticing I am about 100 FPS lower then where I think I should be . 48.8 cfe223 @ 2549 42.5 AR Comp @ 2446 44.8 RE 15 @ 2351 for example .... I am seeing flatish primers but nothing alarming . I have proceeded to go a bit above book on the AR Comp but it still hasn’t picked up any more than a .2 grain incriminate dictates . No pressure sign bigger than a flat primer , no cratering, no ejector marks . any ideas ? I’m newer to 308 reloading but been reloading forever

These are great , they load easily on a closed bolt with 20.... feeds good https://www.brownells.com/magazines/rifle-magazines/magazines/ar-308-magazines-prod95440.aspx

Yeah it’s a pinch . This is a second gen if I had to call it something . They added quite a bit of clamping surface compared to the origional CMR. Imo this type is more secure and the origional wasn’t problematic as far as I know . They changed the barrel nut some as well . The smaller middle screw is for retention ,for and aft , the rotation is handled by an insert that rides the gas tube.

Thanks , I’m pretty excited . My first 308

Waiting on a couple things still but I got it mocked up today after I got the barrel nut/rail .

State of Jefferson , Oregon side

That would be sweet , and a nice drill bit ..... real nice mellonite finish and I have a feeling the material is hard as hell on top of that

Yeah I’m thinking it will ping as well and I like stuff you don’t see on every othe rifle too . Thanks for your service !

I’ll report back on performance . I’m about a month out from shooting it . Figured I’d post on it since I can’t find anything on the interweb on it

Not sure exactly . Very limited info on it . I’m curious now since you think it’s heavy . It doesn’t strike me as over heavy for a 762 device but ?? Not sure . It’s a very nice piece , everything lmt does is done with excellent materials ......it’s good size , reminds me of a BE Myers

A GI wrench won’t match those grooves ? This dude uses a strap

I meant weight , for curiosity sake

I had done a review of a Ballistic Advantage barrel .....long story short I love them but had a hard time getting MOA out of a barrel, is have three more in rifles. I called and got told I should try Federal match.... great ammo but a slap in the face to me . Avid reloader and I take my MOA 556’s to the 600 yard line all the time so I feel like I make better ammo than Federal. two years go by and I forget all about it because MOA out of this particular set up means nothing to me. However I had ran across their Facebook page and being new to Facebook,a year now, I left a review of how I love them , workmanship, materials and attention to detail but really feel like they should lose the moa guarantee because they don’t need that imo. They replied with an apology and wanted a chance to make it right . Both things unnecessary I replied , I tried two years prior . To which Clint Hanson replied to me requesting my phone number so he can talk to me about this . I assured him there was nothing to be done but he insisted. After talking with Clint for a while about making barrels , I’m an ex barrel maker , he said to me “ well I know your not looking for anything but when you build your next rifle the barrel is on me “ ..... I assured him that wasn’t necessary but he insisted again . I’ve barreled a couple 308’s for friends but never had one of my own . So I told Clint a 16” 308 would be awesome. He sent me two ....wants me to review one. I kept the Hanson profile and sold the other and purchased a BCG .... so here I am learning all I can about the buffer sytem . Picked up the 6 position Armalite buffer kit thanks to this site....... all I have left to pick up is a handgaurd , buis and a scope/mount then I will be shooting my own 308 .

Just a shade over 3 oz. . Doesn’t have a hole drilled for pin and weld .....

LMT’s new 3 prong

Awesome and thanks .....and yeah I had to jump on that extension kit THANK YOU @jtallen83

sounds good are there known mags to stay away from ?

awesome, it should be in the mail Monday....now to sniff out a milspec buttstock ........I've always been an Ace stock guy on my AR's so mostly fixed . I'm getting excited I always run Lancer or GI mags mags on my 556's .....I think I have one 40rd magpul it works good , who makes the good 308 mags?
