This all started from the HS2000...

But I pulled it off... That was the basics, brother. It goes WAY more into detail at SS20. There's some real psychology involved in it, and real "mechanical manipulation." SS20 pistol classes gonna get real. It'll change what you think you know, pistoleers. I've got some bitchin' drills and training lined up, and I hope like hell that @blue109 can bring his buddy up here for it - that guy is a different aspect completely, and totally new ideas and methods... It'll be a dumpster-fire waiting to happen...

There is no good use for a 3oz or 3.8oz 2.500" .308AR buffer - a contest for one of those POS buffers should only consist of Tannerite. See who can hit the biggest charge with one of those things sitting on top, and blow it the furthest. That's the best use of a POS buffer like that. It's an aluminum-bodied buffer, though, and they only make 3.8oz (max they'll every get) by stuffing two tungsten weights in it - so take out the tungsten before we send it to the moon...

I have a plan for you that will change your fundamental shooting practices. You just need to get down here for a shoot. I'm launching it live at Spring Shoot this year, but I debuted it on @Matt.Cross at the last Fall Shoot - at 3am, one of those nights during the shoot. I can change your pistol shooting style, and you're my perfect candidate. I kid you not.

NICE!!!

I like where this is going, man - keep it up!!!

^^^ I love this guy, right here...

Yeah, I looked at that pic specifically. Ejection in these things is all about whether your gas system is what it needs to be, and your recoil system is what it needs to be - if they're not, your ejection is either wild or mild - if those two systems aren't prefectly balanced. This isn't AR15-world, where everything had a definitive spec to meet. Hell, I can break in a new AR15 bone dry, zero lube. Not so with a .308AR. So, first, we here went through the details of this OPs gun - it's straight. He built it right. Only thing left - might be that ejector, since we can't confirm that - but we can confirm, through posted pics, that the rifle looks dry. That pic you quoted looks like what happens with a dry .308AR gun - but you have to find out the hardware situation first, which we did. We eliminated everything we could eliminate. Lube it, run it with factory, quality ammo, and break it in...

I'll risk it, men - it's worth it. If it works, it's legend. If it fails, it's pure comedy. That's the way I made all my military decisions, anyway, and there's one major factor that drives it all, once it's said an done, and you're doing the AARs. "Yeah, we could have done this - this way, and that - that way - but did it look cool?..." ^^^ That's a self-deprecating joke, for the one that would instantly jump on it and call it "Narcissistic" of me - which is bullshiit, about me...

The capability is there to run the long side to the front sling swivel, get the buckle where you need it to tension the sling, and run it that way. I didn't say it looked like a Ching Sling - but it's got the capability to run it in the manner that you can hook your non-firing elbow through that loop, move that arm back close to your body, and tension the rifle. Just like a sniper's cuff - without the actual cuff. Just like you'd run a Ching Sling... You have a loop - you put your elbow through the loop, you move that arm down/back and tension the rifle. @Charlie - send it to me, and I'll mount it up and demonstrate it in a video, then send it back. The video goes up in this thread. When I send it back, I'll throw money in there to cover the shipping that you had to pay to get it to me. This thing will work...

This is hilarious - coming from the Eye Doctor...

Hang onto that sling, @Charlie - I have an idea of what the design is for. I'm trying to find out who makes it. It's a basic rifle sling, but it's made to be used like a Ching Sling. I'll find it... This is a Ching Sling:

Oh Lordy, here goes the resurgence in the Tractor Porn thread...

^^^ I had the exact same concerns that he did above ^^^. ToolCraft BCG, Armalite AR-10 recoil system, complete, and call Live Free Armory about using that lower parts kit. The Aero has longer pins, and there's something about my Live Free receiver set that I had to use a certain bolt catch. I can't remember exactly what the issue was, but I ended up with the right one. Live Free's pins were different, too... I know I got one of them from someone here, and the other from someone here...

That rifle extention kit would work well - rifle receiver extention and buffer are good. Spring is unknown. Run it and see. If the spring is an issue, just swap in an Armalite EA1095 spring and you're set. The MagPul PRS 3 will work on rifle receiver extentions or mil-spec sized carbine receiver extensions (OD = 1.14").

Great news, man!!! Right on!!! If I ever drive across country again, I'll definitely plan the route through your area - just be a good time, regardless. Glad that worked out. I've done that drive alot - southwest to northeast - 10 to 20 to 30 to 40 - I've been close and didn't even know it. I'll do it again, AZ to OH, I just don't know when...

Right here - it's listed as out of stock right now - but call them on the phone... Trust me. Call them, and talk to them, and see if you can get Armalite Part # EA6070... This one: https://www.armalite.com/product/ea6070-ar10-ejector-replacement-kit/ LOCAL: 623-780-1050 TOLL FREE: 800-336-0184

Looks perfect, for the extractor - just like ToolCraft builds them, with dual o-rings. You don't have an extractor issue, at all. As for that ejector - we now may never know... But shiit happens... and we get it... Your ejector ejected, one last time, so it did it's job...

Right where it needs to be. Doesn't look like you have any issues, hardware-wise. Run that thing wet, like @edgecrusher stated. You don't have any parts-issues. The Armalite AR-10 Carbine Recoil System is solid. The barrel specs meet what they need to meet, to make a .308AR 18" MIdlength gas gun run. You have an Aero BCG in there, so the BCG doesn't necessarily suck - it's good, it's actually a ToolCraft BCG. Pull your extractor from the bolt and check what you have for an extractor spring setup. That's the last thing to check, hardware-wise. On the off-chance, check that your ejector is working. Other than that, run it wet, and run alot of rounds through it wet.

I have a few of the barrels I've mentioned, and they're all good. 16" BA Grendel barrel routinaly does .680" 5-shots. Several 18" BA 5.56 barrels do the same. My Wilson Combat .260 barrel will run 0.5" 5-shots all day long, even if I'm on coffee and Copenhagen before I shoot it. I feel your pain, and I'll hate it when one of these starts to open up. When they do, they'll get sent off and chambered-up. The 5.56 barrels will become 25-45 barrels, the .260 will be a 7mm-08, the Grendel barrels will become grounding rods - I can't chamber those things up... I hear ya... So many Match quality AR barrels out there, in so many calibers - there's no reason for a custom barrel anymore...

And that was probably heavier hammer spring. Smack those Hard Nasty Russkie Primers!...

That one is definitely a heavier trigger spring - but don't put that in, you don't need it. Won't help with what you're describing. Here's where my heavier springs live:

My personal situation is similar, but not identical - I'll buy something, shoot the shiit out of it - and stick it in a locker or safe... And I'll "find it again" when I'm looking for another gun I might have forgotten about... For real... I have this same rifle, too, man - Ruger American 30BLK bolt gun - I love it. I need to suppress it, but I still love it just like it is. I miss GreyGoose...

Zero need for a custom barrel maker, then.

Hold the trigger to the rear after recoil - cognizant thought to do it. That's the only real way to check trigger followthrough anyway, when you're working on Natural Point of Aim (NPOA). Anything else isn't a real way to check your NPOA. Nevermind - I see what you're saying now...
