Mine looks the same. Just went ahead and ordered an AR-10 gas tube because of the info gleaned from this site. Also cut my losses and ordered the buffer spring and buffer because the stock Palmetto ones are wrong.

To be honest, I don't know you enough to say if you're a dummy or not. You have a lot of not so random information rattling around your brain housing group (BHG) that somehow spills out at the most opportune times. Good information that is helpful and on point. Thank you for letting that slip out. Anybody around 98Z5V? How big is the cranium getting?

Just trying to see how big it'll get, lol.

Same story here except I am skipping the Palmetto CS headache. It is a testament to the value of this site that you and I can sit here and have somebody to thank for their helpfulness in dealing with issues. 98Z5V has been on point with the info, and there is a bunch of other cats here that have been seriously helpful whether they know it or not. Forums can either be full of trolls or genuine people. I like this site for the helpful, genuine people (with troll tendencies, lol).

Thank you, but it is the information you have provided that has allowed me to be wary of the issues and the solutions to fix them. I am grateful for your willingness to share your knowledge.

Here she is put together. I still need to install the AR-10 gas tube I received last week as well as the buffer and spring when it gets here.

Here is a before and after of the buffer tube depth. Used my Dremel to open up the notch a tad, that got me the room I needed to get one extra turn on the tube. Also slid a quarter in the tube to get me to 7 5/8".

I went ahead and ordered an Armalite spring and H3 buffer. Both are in stock at Primary Arms.

Receiver, not extension.

Picked up the lower today. Regular H buffer, spring is only 11 1/2" , buffer tube depth is 7 11/16". I don't think the tube is far enough into the receiver extension either, and I don't think I'll get another full turn on it. I'll post a pic of that later.

I might be able to get into some hog hunting here in Okie, with some distance opportunities. I was all set to pull the trigger on a Ruger RPR in .308 and my buddy who's the hog hunter said nuh uh. When they decide to charge you cannot run that bolt gun fast enough. Fair enough says I. I wanted to stay with the .308 and the AR platform just simply makes sense considering the conditions. Palmetto prices kind of make it a no brainer, even if I have to replace a few things to get it right. Considering a different caliber upper in my AR-15 as well, lol.

Lower has arrived at the FFL. I will pick it up on Friday. AR10 gas tube is due in tomorrow. I really really really want to just plop this thing together and shoot it as is . Curious to see the malfunctions for myself, as well as baseline it for the fixes / upgrades.

I am not. But on a different note, my lower ships today.

I'll post up once it gets here and give you the dimensions of the spring and buffer tube, and of course which buffer is included. Maybe even throw in a pic or two. Stay tuned.
