First off, I have lots of experience with 308’s in the AR platform. From using an issued KAC in country, to building a KAC clone, and building dpms pattern AR’s. Ive built a 20” 308 using thunder tactical’s 80% lower and complete upper. All I’ve done different was an adjustable gas block, an armalite rifle length gas tube(longer than dpms) and buffer/spring changes. My TT 308 is just as reliable as any of my other 308’s. Its definitely a great base gun. It keeps surprising me on the accuracy. I’ve shot clay pidgeons at 800m+ and nail them in one, at most two shots using a 4.5-18x scope. So just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean it’s garbage. Change your BCG, get an adjustable gas block, make sure your gas tube is sitting in the key far enough. Armalite tube is slightly longer to fix this. Buy an armalite magcatch (Type A) iron out the details and you’ll have a greatly priced 308 that’s a tack driver. Thunder tactical has always responded to my emails and phone calls fast. Maybe you called on a bad day. Also, pour a bunch of CLP on the BCG and use lithium grease in the buffer tube. Keep up with the CLP until you’ve hit 500 rounds. It works wonders
