This oughta be interesting.... -
Right on, Shepp.
-
I don't see where they ever installed the through pin to keep it from backing off the threads...
-
I think some pics would be nice, barrel and extension, might not help us fix your problem but could be a great "don't let this happen to you" scenario.
-
That's a great start, but what's the bait?
-
Make sure your mag is seating at the top of it's possible travel, your bolt is less likely to slip off the round then.
-
That won't work because your barrel nut is designed to bottom out on the barrel extension shoulder and press it against the receiver face. Facing that amount of material off the barrel nut won't change where the nut seats on the barrel extension shoulder.
-
Yikes!
-
LOL..... Sounds like something that would've happened to Tom!
-
As long as it's for the 308 you should be OK, I would check with the vendor about returns/refunds just in case.
-
If it's for the large AR receiver it should be G2G, but I would check before buying it.

Welcome to the forums, glad you made it. That 700 build is sweet! First up on the list is a mag well vice block and receiver vice block, aka 'the claw'. https://www.rainierarms.com/dpms-panther-claw-308

Sorry to hear about your friend, here's to the memory of our buddy in the great beyond.

Let's consider our newcomer friend warned regarding his mistake and give him a chance to otherwise get along, I think your points have gotten across. Don't sweat the small stuff AA, we'll be glad to help you as best we can. -
Welcome to the forums, I was wondering the same... How did you find our little corner of the Internet?
-
I'd just wear hearing protection once I got to the area I'm hunting.
-
The only thing that comes to mind is that when you hunt without hearing protection the increased muzzle noise is going to scramble your brains. Otherwise, a muzzle brake seems pretty useful, especially if you want to be able to track a long distance shot.
-
Nice!
-
Entirely, it's only safe when pointed in a specific direction. Come to think of it, it needs a 'this side towards enemy' label, wouldn't want to gut shoot yourself.....
-
It needs to be longer, ya know, to make the recoil more manageable and all...
-
Based on your description, your barrel extension could also be off spec. If the shoulder is set back too far, it would explain quite a bit of your issues. Not saying that's the issue, but it would be on my list of possible suspects.

Oh no, Cali is out to ban everything now. Ya'll gonna be pointing blunt sticks and shouting 'bang bang, RELOADING'!

Congratulations Pappy, enjoy your retirement for a while and then find a way to keep yourself busy.

I forget where I read it now, but it has been suggested that the fat in the gelatin was liquefied, heated, compressed, and ignited by the bullet impact.
