👍🏼 I was looking for the pics I took of the targets but I think I deleted them in disgust. LOL.

Glad to hear from you again bro. Don’t know if you are referring to when we talked about this in the past when I was first putting it together or not. what is your experience with the two barrels you mention and Krieger?

Well after a year of trying I have given up on this companies barrels in this caliber. Could not get them to shoot better then 3 MOA. Tried many many different powders and bullet combinations with little benefit. The company did refund me which I give credit for. Has anyone had any experience with them? I put on a new unfired PSA that at worst shot 2 MOA and best load today with 4064 was .75 MOA and a SD of 3.0. Lol. Again not trying to company bash. They refunded me which I’m great full for.

Nice Elk. AR10 is like any other weapon. Look at what you have in and on it. You have a grip pod, old school triangle gas block/front site, heavy rear shoulder stock etc. No clue on the weight of your optic also. That being said, 9 pounds isn't heavy. Weight and where it is on your weapon matters. I have a BSF carbon barrel on plus have been very aware or what is and isnt on my weapon.

The weight alone is a huge turnoff for me.

I’m damn glad it’s up and running also. Clearly if buying PSA go in with eyes open. I expected issues and while this was my first ar10 style I’ve built numerous ar15’s and know where to seek help and information like this website. Now to dial in what it likes and see how good I can get this to shoot. The the higher end components I’ve added should negate the PSA stock barrel and BCG.

+1 to that answer. I just wanted to have another person say it. Starts with the tone the leadership sets.

Which problem? The customer service problem or the incorrect parts being placed in weapons problem??

Lol. I truly hope that isn’t what you think. They are busy so don’t worry that an ongoing problem of incorrect parts being sold with weapons should be responded to in a timely manner or at all. Much less the fact the customer had to buy the correct part himself with zero attempt to even send the correct part to him. Have you ever bought a new car? And it was down because they sold it with a incorrect part? They are busy so get to it maybe........

Well no shocker but as of yet PSA still hasn't responded to me about sending me a new correct size buffer. Glad I didn't wait on them to get a new one. What I really can't figure out is how they have such poor customer service???????? LOL I'm sure this is nothing new to some of you.

Thinking about it. Nothing serious yet.

For sure. Just wondering what has anyone else done.

Has anyone replaced the BCG on their PSA and with what?

So I finally have an update. I was able to get out and attempt to shoot the rifle. Shocked (sarcasm)to report the incorrect buffer was sent with the lower and the bcg would not lock back. The bolt was unable to charge all the way back. I did reach out to PSA by email. Their response was to have to send the entire rifle back to them. After looking into it I diagnosed the actual issue and replaced the correct buffer size. I then sent response to PSA. I will give you a guess if I have heard back from them since I responded 6 days ago.......rifle cycles and locks back fine now.

New shot, never used. Pulled off a PSA upper. Make me an offer.

Other wise known as snowmageddon.

It’s going to get worse over the next week also. Hi of 2 degrees F here Friday.

LOL hard to find places around here to shoot also.

I wish, its been crazy cold and crappy every day I have been off. I've built a new 300 BO while waiting to get out and test. Its ready to go though. I'm interested in testing out many things. The difference between the hellfire muzzle break and the suppressor also. I'm hoping to get out in the next month and test. When I do I will definately let you know.

Curious and excited too see how she wrings out.

Now to get it ringing

I have seen that work for people. Just doesn't work for me. Mine works simpler for me. Plus I don't like having to sit down in the middle of a project.

exactly and no marks from a slipping hammer.

Glad to help Mac. Tried to get video of inserting it but needed another set of hands. It slides right in though. As stated earlier if using a toothpick peice, it holds the gs block perfect and slides right out as the pin goes in.

charging handles.. various reloading supplies, bullets brass powder
