Put your left thumb along the backstrap before you grab it with your right hand. More to hold on to. I had one of those in 45colt. At 10feet it wouldn't put both barrels on a sheet of typing paper.

Is the rail higher than the receiver or lower?

I agree. This was easier than taking the rifle apart. It will happen in the future.

I had ejection problems with build #2. I changed the extractor yesterday. The new one is about 10 thousandths thinner. It doesn't hit the pin sig put in the extension. Thanks for the idea. 75 rnds downrange today and no problems at all.

Bear Creek Armory makes right side charging 308's. Their barrels are not the greatest most of the time but the rest of the parts work.

After seeing a comment that heminut made about extractors. I looked at the extractors on the Brownells bcg's. There is a mark where they are running into the pin sig put in the barrel extension. I ordered a different extractor and it's almost 10 thousandths thinner than the ones I had in the guns. I am still having problems w/gun number 2 not always going into battery and leaving emptys in the receiver sometimes. I didn't get any pictures when I had it apart sorry. If the new extractor still hits that pin I'll pull the thing apart and knock the pin out.

Not bad.

Nice work.

Looks good. Think I need a LAW folder or two.

Left hand drill bits usually get broken bolts out.

Sounds like you got it figured out. I like the one I have. I didn't need an adjustable gas block. Worked just fine as it came.

Leupold 1.5x4 fire dot. I have one on the Grendel. Mil dot reticle with the center of the cross hairs lit as a dot. Dot goes off with no movement. Pick it up and the dot comes on. The scope is also available without a dot.

I have a balastic advantage 16" midlength gas barrel on a rifle. Shoots good and runs like a top. 3/4 moa w/match ammo. I think primary arms has this barrel for $209 right now.

That is a good looking rifle. Glad you got it running right.

Looks good. My 1st one took a while to get the gas adjusted correctly. It runs good now but took about 150 rnds to get to that point. Think I have the second one about adjusted right. 1failure to eject in the last 40 rnds.

What does the brass look like after you get it out of the chamber? A lot of folks have problems w/the JP recoil set up. Was the bolt properly headspaced?

Welcome from KY.

A mirror at the proper angle might work.

Looks like it works well.
