Thanks.

Happy Anniversary.

I have built 2 guns with the Bushmaster 308 lowers from there .

I have a rifle from them and built a 12" 308 pistol with their upper and lower. The carbine stocked lowers w/the wrong buffer and spring seem to be the main problem. My rifle all I did was replace the gas tube, install a Balastic Advantage barrel, and a LaRue MBT-2 trigger. None of that was needed to make the gun go boom.

Welcome from KY. Dig into the PSA section you are probably in for some adjustments to your new rifle.

Sounds like you're on the right track. You won't know if the heavier buffer will work w/a standard gas block till you try it.

Bear Creek Armory makes some. If you get a complete upper just plan on buying a better barrel.

Brownells had some "retro' BCG's that didn't have forward assist grooves. Mine for the 308 from them doesn't.

Looks like a keltec. 223

Welcome from KY.

There are a few left. I shot the creedmoor more than the 308.

Do you have a pic of the other side of the receiver. Doesn't look like the mag catch is screwed in enough. Take a small punch and push the button in and screw that thing in some more.

You need the Wilson gas tube for that barrel. As long as the rail is the right height to match the upper you should be good. You might check w/Wilson about the thread pattern on the upper. I don't know if they use dpms pattern or armalite pattern or their own. That is what you need to know before you buy your rail.

I bought a Wilson Combat 6.5 Paul Howe barrel. It shoots REAL well. I bought a Bear Creek complete upper and switched the barrel. It was on sale for $329. The Wilson barrel was a little over $300 but it shoots well and I think it was money well spent. I already had a lower and parts for the lower. CDNN has had Bushmaster lowers for $99.00 for a while now.

Welcome from KY.

I also suspect the captured recoil system is part of the problem. They work well on 5.56 builds but not many folks seem to have good luck with these set ups on the large frame guns.

Welcome from KY.

I won't have near as many after this week.

I don't know the balastics on the hammer but you compared it to a 30-30. The 30-30 is more a 200 yds and under cartridge. The Grendel will smoke a 30-30 and do long distance. The Grendel has a ton of factory ammo available.

Welcome. Bout damn time you showed up.

Yep I have about 750 rounds of that from them.
