where to these people come from?

Im not sure what happened. Yesterday was the deadline for voting on a bunch of legislation. I dont know if it was voted on or just not addressed in this session. According to the sources who keep track of this stuff it would easily pass. Anyhow we bought some time

Are you sure they are 308? Im not aware of YHM offering 308 Hg's.

I purposely didnt watch the news yesterday

DPMS had a bad batch of mags a while back. The internet being what it is this stuff sticks around and runs rampant. Im not 100% sure but I dont think you can use any upper other then RRA on your rifle either way. Folks tend to hit the net vocalize a problem with anything. With no milspec standard there will always be issues mixing and matching parts Armalite seems to have the least complaints.

Is teaching your kid to shoot going to double your weapon costs. Your going to cause a FDE shortage <laughs>

Heath rocks!!!

The BCG is fine. The bolt needs to match the barrel extension type. By type I mean Armalite or DPMS extension

Thank you for the pictures

different barrel nut thread

jeez thats awful

real friggin nice

<lmao> Just making sure. You would be surprised how many emails I get from guys shooting ammo found under the Titanic or from Chernobyl and they are surprised when they have issues ;D DPMS chambers can be tight and or rough. lacquered steel cased ammo can compound those issues. I think there's a thread here someplace on polishing the chamber. The exctractor mod mentioned a few times is a worthwhile endeavor regardless.

Glad it worked out. I like these types of threads to keep the crew thinking.

yep building a rifle around the mag....your getting reeled in <munch>

Well without knowing the state of calibration and type tools the posters measuring with and my not being able to do math this late when Im not feeling well I dont think we have the true measurements. His number 23 drill bit is measuring undersize. How is he measuring the hole in the lower? Caliper is not going to be accurate in a tiny round hole. Hell I have seen import drill bits that arent the correct size. Is it too tight or just a tighter than he anticipates? I have only built a few AR's and my experience was the DPMS took a bit of hammering. Two CMMG's took a little bigger hammer. My Colt was just right JP anti walk pins are .156. Perhaps Geiselle takes a similar approach. Ill measure my lower by the weekend

I have not heard a word after the initial news

BTW In general I keep a can off this and or this around. The one without lube is also good for getting poop and gum off of stuff as well as freezing flies in the air.

Good to hear they respond <thumbsup>

dont forget a lot of oil when new

From DPMS Ammunition Warning After extensive testing, we have found that only ammunition manufactured to SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) specifications is reliable in DPMS rifles. DPMS recommends the use of high quality, domestically produced ammunition for best results and highest accuracy. For plinking and practice, we recommend only domestic, commercially manufactured ammunition. Please note: the use of hand-loaded ammunition voids the factory warranty. The use of all ammunition listed below also voids the warranty. We have incurred feeding problems with the following: [list type=decimal] [*] Israeli ammunition Korean ammunition Chilean ammunition Portugese ammunition PMP South African produced surplus Lacquer Coated Ammunition or Steel-cased, lacquer coated ammunition Wolf Norinco Silver Bear Any steel-cased (coated or non-coated) ammunition We have reviewed several reports, from several manufacturers’, regarding problems using this ammunition. The problem appears to be the bullet contour and the overall length of the cartridge, which is contacting the rifling before firing. This is creating a gas port pressure and chamber pressure higher than recommended, therefore causing feeding and extraction problems due to the increased bolt carrier velocity. In addition, there is accelerated fatigue on internal parts. There are also indications that brass may be out of spec, which could create an unsafe condition. We have used this ammunition in the past for testing purposes and found the brass is extremely soft and can “flow” into microscopic pores and grooves in the chamber creating “sticky” extraction. This has been reported in many types of rifles, but is more prevalent in semi-automatic weapons. The problem with this ammunition is that the lacquer coating on the case. As the barrel heats up, the lacquer turns to a soft, varnish substance and upon cool down, becomes very solid and difficult to remove. This effectively creates an undersized chamber and creates understandable problems. Your rifle is an investment and it only makes sense to choose quality ammunition for a quality rifle!

<lmao>

Hi Oly, Im reading and writing on the fly so forgive me if I miss a detail you wrote or seem short. The boss is hollering for me :) Anyhow , a few things, first off the ammo you mention your using, even the stuff that works I believe is specifically mentioned on the DPMS site as not working reliably in a DPMS 308 and the Bushy is a DPMS after all. Have you tried a few boxes of name brand ammo? Even the PRVI Partisan works reliably and is pretty accurate. Secondly you can do the heavy duty extractor upgrades on these just like an AR-15, Check this stuff out

You should ask this at my 22 site. There's a guy or two pretty knowledgeable on the GSG-5

This is like selling Jessica Alba to buy Angelina Jolie... ;D
