You need a buffer that weighs 5.4 oz - and that's an H3 buffer. That will solve your problems, if you stick with the spring that I was mentioning, when I made that comment. For real. Try me out and prove that I'm guessing this one wrong.

Chrome don't get ya home. Just sayin'... I jab when I can...

That idiot isn't settled yet - there's some shiit coming down the pipe on that.

Might be a record here?...

...Aaaaand, he started this thread about Halloween 2011. I think I'd have shot this thing by now. I'm just sayin'... @ARTrooper necro'd a post from 28 Sep 2012, here...

^^^ Yep.

His is a bolt gun - so the input you get from him will be different. There aren't feed or extraction problems, in that bolt - just punishing recoil from it...

I have personal experience on all you've said - that differs. Just my $0.02 on the whole affair. I've shot the 270 WSM 6lb bolt gun, and I've shot my own 45-70. I'll take the 45-70, if I have to shoot it all day, and I HATE shooting that thing for more than two tubes of loaded ammo. I'll still take it over that 270 WSM. All day long, I'll make that decision. Done it before. You can make the "It's an AR" approach, but I'm telling you that it won't matter - much. But, again, that's just my personal experience here. Risk it - I'd love to see it, and shoot it. Build that thing.

I think you'll need a real H3 buffer, at 5.4oz. Just my $0.02 on the whole affair.

Shoot Mikey's 6lb bolt gun in that caliber, and it'll change your mind. It's fucking brutal, and there's never any chance of getting back on the scope, and seeing where your shot went. I'd rather shoot my 45-70 all day long, than that thing. The 45-70 is LESS punishing. If that makes any sense.

Yep ^^^ that right there.

This excites me...

I can - it's called ".260 Remington..."

Truth, right here. Nobody is changing the US Constitution anytime soon, because too many people can't agree, these days - we're too divided, as a nation. Here's what it takes to make an Amendement to the US Constitution: Article V of the United States Constitution outlines basic procedures for constitutional amendment. Congress may submit a proposed constitutional amendment to the states, if the proposed amendment language is approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses. Congress must call a convention for proposing amendments upon application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states (i.e., 34 of 50 states). Amendments proposed by Congress or convention become valid only when ratified by the legislatures of, or conventions in, three-fourths of the states (i.e., 38 of 50 states). 1 OR 2 must happen. After 1 OR 2 happens, then 3 must happen, to amend the US Constitution. Now other way to do it. 2/3rds of BOTH houses can pitch TO the States. 2/3rds of States can pitch TO Congress. After that, 3/4ths of the States VOTE on it. Not Congress. The STATES vote to change the US Constitution. Never gonna happen, in today's times - with the political division that there is out there now. And that political division isn't going away anytime soon, either. If we keep with the current political landscape that we have, there will NEVER be another Amendment to the US Constitution. Which is good news. The 2nd Amendment isn't going anywhere. "I'm simply trying to illuminate the terrain in which we currently find ourselves deployed..." Wait for it.

You guys remember Mark Robinson... He's the new Lt. Governor of North Carolina... Yeah, that happened. He was elected. His Governor is a Dem, he's the Lt Governor now. Big plus. https://www.wfae.org/politics/2020-11-11/divisive-but-direct-mark-robinson-aims-to-work-with-cooper

That is fucking epic, right there...

The STAG upper is your best choice - or you're just throwing your dice and gambling that something will work. For real. Find a Stag,and be done with the pattern-difference bulshiit. Cut down on your headaches - and OURS. When you come back here with some crazy upper that's not even close - and you don't give the REAL details on the whole build... some future questions, so far away... ...and we're trying to figure out what you cobbled together to make a .308AR. Just get a Stag upper, save your own headaches. Just truth here.

Go make an Intro post in that section, and tell us the details on your gun. Same section that you made your first post in, but make an actual Intro about you. Love to hear the details on the gun parts used in your build.

If anyone wants to get that set in annodized black, I can Cerakote that. That's not a hard paintjob to pull off. Seriously.

What?!!!? I figured that it went already!!!

That same group of Dems tries that shiit here every other year. Honestly. Every two years, they try to pull that exact same thing here.

If I hadn't gotten my truck back, I already would have been driving one of those. With a 4" lift, 2" wheel spacers, and 37" dual beadlock HMMWV tires and wheels. For real. Spent the Saturday after the truck was ripped, looking. Found 5 tires and wheels for $560 shipped, found the truck down in Sierra Vista, was heading down the next weekend to get it. The next day, Sunday, had a Local PD guy knock on the door and tell me it was recovered. That combo looks like this: 6.2 indirect Injection engine SUCKED, very true. It would have stayed in there until I found one of the 6.5 Turbo Diesels, though.

It's an almost identical system to the LAW version - there's a steel plate that slides into place against the buffer, when it's open. Locks the BCG and buffer in place. You could shoot it once, folded, and probably be just fine. If you make it a habit, something is gonna come apart, and it wouldn't be pretty.

I've almost gone after the Sylvan several times, and just never done it. Primary Arms has a good sale on them 3 or 4 times a year, and that's what almost gets me everytime. Watch Primary Arms, @edgecrusher - they blow it out often. They list it for $150, and just had a blowout for less, now they're out of stock.

That's messed up, man...
