The black locust burn real hot. I've had several folks tell us not to burn the locust in a wood stove. YMMV

Yep got that one from Primary Arms for $119.00

Welcome from KY.

Top one is tool craft Grey one is Brownells retro

I just put a Sylvan Arms folding gizmo on one of the pistols. I haven't tested it on the range yet. It does lock up solid. Was easy to install.

Is it enough out of alignment to prevent the BCG from going into the buffer tube without extra friction slowing the BCG down? That is the next problem to solve in the experiment.

If you buy a PSA lower it will mate to the upper. The PSA upper will not fit up to an aero lower. Are you using a carbine stock or an A2 rifle stock. That answer determines which buffer and spring to use. You still will probably have a to short gas tube and a rifle that is only so so accurate. I'm not knocking PSA just stating facts. I have 2 of them and they work and shoot now. I would return the PSA upper and build an upper with Aero parts. Cheaper in the long run.

The firing pin hits on the edge of the shell in rimfire. The firing pin is also hitting the edge of the chamber. That's what breaks firing pins on rimfire guns. It can also mess up the edge of the chamber where the rounds will get hung up and not chamber all the way.

CDNN has dpms owners manuals on their site.

Copy I'll tell him. I texted him the BA link for that barrel.

https://www.theamericanmarksman.com/762-NATO-308_c_307.html This is decent ammo. I have shot a lot of it.

He was out in the weather for 15days. Some days it was 60deg. Animals have been eating on him and he stunk real bad. Truly hate that he was not recovered in a timely fashion. I know now that when they just walk away instead of running away I need to look harder. I didn't think I missed him twice but he didn't act like I hit him. He just walked away. Any other deer I have shot either fell over or ran a ways.

I use Nosler 165gr Balastic tips for my 308 hunting loads in my bolt gun. Never had to look for anything I shot w/that gun and load. Always DRT.

The short buffer MIGHT let the BCG slam into the rear of the receiver.

This rifle shoots those 125's real well. I have some hornady hunting ammo with a heavier bullets that I'll get this rifle sighted in with when I can find more. Only have about 5 rounds of the hornady hunting ammo left. I went through a lot of ammo trying to find a load my other barrel would shoot well. That barrel is sitting on the work bench now. This Wilson Combat barrel shoots great.

I shot him with my 6.5 creedmoor w/125 gr poly tipped winchester hunting ammo. I just don't understand why there was no blood trail at all.

Shot a nice buck opening day. Shot him twice. 375 yds and he just walked away. Waited a half hour or so went to look and no blood or fur anywhere. I assumed I missed. Last night we were looking for a doe a friend shot. Guess what I found. Really saddens me that he was wasted.

Don't put a longer buffer in the 308. That will keep the BCG from coming back far enough to lock back or pick up the next round.

Open the gas block all the way up. Then close it a little at a time till it won't lock the bolt back on a empty mag. Then open back up just a bit.

I bought a new(better) barrel for my creedmoor. When I went to switch the barrels I found where the gas block was touching the rail. That could be why it didn't shoot well. I might have to put that barrel in a different upper and give it a try.

Try a H2 or H3 buffer to slow the bolt down just a bit. If it is locking back with the stock spring you have enough gas.

Your bolt is traveling to fast if it's locking back but skipping the next round. Go up on your buffer weight w/the same spri g you are using now.
