  1. It's your rifle. It only has to suit you. What does their opinion matter if you don't value their opinion in the first place.
  2. Glad to hear it's running right.
  3. Criminals ignore the laws and evil exists.
  4. I hope you left out the word tube. A 7 7/8 buffer is way too long.
  5. #4 start w/gas block all the way open and load 1 round in the magazine at a time. Shut down gas block a bit at a time till gun doesn't lock back on the empty magazine. Then open back up just a bit. Don't worry about where it throws the brass. Worry about if the gun runs or not.
  6. Good to hear it's running well.
  7. Rifle length is rifle length. AR-15 and AR308.
  8. It is extracting so you probably want to put it back as it was. When working on these guns it is better to only fix/change one thing at a time. This seems to be a recoil system or gas system problem. Perhaps both.
  9. Hope they get to stay open but with the stories I've read lately they seem to want to shut shops down for any reason they can come up with.
  10. Looks like fun.
  11. This shoots well in all my 308's https://www.theamericanmarksman.com/bullets-1st-762-175-gr-m118-lr--400-ct.html My bolt gun shoots Nosler 165gr balastic tips over 39.5gr of Varget real well.
  12. Welcome from KY.
  13. If the barrel isn't a snug fit in the upper receiver you can bed it with this.
  14. Welcome from KY. I don't think the receivers are the problem. I have a rifle from PSA and a pistol I built off of a PSA receiver set. How tight did the barrel fit into the upper receiver? You are on the right path on the recoil system.
  15. My Wilson 6ARC barrel also had an undersized gas port. The 6.5 Creedmoor barrel from Wilson was the proper size. Your buffer is a little light. 5 and a half oz range buffers seem to work better in the large frame guns.
  16. The complete upper I bought was in 6.5 Creedmoor. Is shot okay but I replaced the barrel w/a Wilson Combat barrel that shoots much better. The gas block wasn't tightened down properly. When I shot it the first time I had to fix that problem. I have a 6.5 Grendel barrel from them that shoots really well also.
  17. Sounds like y'all had a good day.
  18. I have a Bear Creek BCG that works with a Wilson combat barrel, Areo Precision barrel,and a Bear Creek barrel. Not a side charger but that shouldn't make much difference.
  19. Buy a bolt from KAK and put it in the Bear Creek BCG. You will have a spare bolt that way. The Bear Creek BCG should work. Just check the head space.
  20. Great to hear it's running now.
  21. Welcome from KY.
