Receiver extension looks alright - get it in another turn, file a notch or make a cutout in the bottom, to clear the tip of the buffer retainer. Before you file or cut, remove the buffer retainer completely, thread that extension in one more turn, and verify that you can still close your upper receiver down on the lower, and pin it there. Do that before any cutting/filing. That buffer and spring are junk. Sprinco Orange spring, for the 7.000" internal setups (AR15 carbine receiver extensions). KAK makes a 2.500" long buffer that weighs in at 5.3oz, and that's close enough to 5.4oz to call it good. Those two parts...

Odin Turbo, brother. 56:00 into the release vid.

Looks like a DPMS-based cut at the back of that receiver, so you're not going to be building any AR-10's with it.

External length of the extension doesn't matter - internal depth does. Can't help you until you post up the internal depth of the extension.

So, those original issues that he had probably didn't have anything to do with ammo quality - but his original bolt and firing pin. Well, maybe the ammo, and maybe that specific bolt (more than the firing pin, but the bolt hole, at the diameter of the firing pin hole). I've never had this issue with .260 Rem, running a .308-spec BCG and bolt - ToolCraft complete BCG is what I have, not that "special" Creedmoor bolt that they have, with dual ejectors. In light of that, is this 6.5 Creedmoor stuff putting out THAT much more power than .260 Rem? The numbers on both those cartridges don't state something like that - .260 is a little more powerful than 6.5CM, based on case volume, possible max powder charge weights, etc. So, why is 6.5CM doing that to his brass, and primers? Bad bolt face, and firing pin hole in the bolt? I wanna dig into this one...

They'll think he's in cardiac arrest, and the medics will show up!...

I think there's a .308AR.com Fall Shoot Machete Contest Giveway coming up...

No, Matt is a moaner. You're definitely a screamer. Dirk will be happy with you...

The have smaller firing pin protrusions (firing pin is smaller in diameter, where it strikes the primer) and smaller firing pin hole in the bolt face - is that correct?

I'm so done with benchrest barrel-dream guns, where they tell you that you have to have a 32" barrel to even be accurate... If someone offered an 18" barrel for my .260 Rem, I would have done that, but the shortest that I could find was the WC 20" barrel - back then. Now, LaRue does an 18", but the shortest they did when I built mine was 22". I don't have too many precision 5.56 ARs with anything more than an 18" barrel. Well, I have 2. That aren't 18". I have 3 x 18" of them, and one 16" of them. Barrel length doesn't mean they're not accurate... "Accuracy" isn't barrel length. Accuracy is what you build. It's either accurate, or it's not. Barrel length is only muzzle velocity, nothing more. It's either an accurate gun, or it's not. You can shorten the barrel - and it's still an accurate gun. You might lose muzzle velocity, but you'll never lose accuracy. You just lose velocity - and that means you have more drop to account for, at distance. Doesn't mean it's any less accurate. My most badass example of this is 6.5 Grendel. I have a heavy 18" barrel SPR-type gun (It's actually a BA SPR-Profile Grendel barrel) that drops 8.5 mils at 850 yards (2534fps), and then I have a 12.5" Grendel, Govt profile Faxon barrel that drops 10.0 mils at 850 yards (2369fps). The 16" Grendel Mod H gun (BA 16" SPR Profile) drops 9.0 mils at 850 yards (2475fps)... All are "accurate" and can do it, every time - one has less drop than the other, and the other, because of more muzzle velocity. Same exact load, for all three. Barrel length doesn't directly equal accuracy... Accurate guns equal accuracy...

Give that one to the tree-cutter, and tell him that all this needs to be made right.

He's certainly a screamer. You just have to approach him at the correct angle, and get the jump on him. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

If it wasn't, WC wouldn't be making it. They get barrel twist rates right. Call them and ask about it.

I've loved my XDs45 since day one - once I stopped limp-wristing it, or trying to shoot it like a 5" 1911... Hell of a pistol.

I KNEW it!!! Then... snoooze...

Focus hard on the internal depth of that PSA receiver extension before you stick any of those new parts in there. Measure it. Accurately. They shipped some of those PA-10 receiver extensions that were 8.000" internal depth, and that's a nightmare to deal with.

Better watch out, or he'll get you again...

Sweet little cute baby Jesus... I thought I had a gun problem, but Doc has a serious machete fetish...

What's this little blip of activity at the end of the night, brother? What were you doing?...

^^^ He likes long walks on the beach, barefoot, in the moonlight, too. Don't let him bullshiit you...

Wait until you see the laser-light that they're coming out with after the middle of the year... It's in the video I posted in the SHOT thread. Towards the end.

Welcome. Fear not. We've got that topic very well covered...

We're just lucky that you're still here, Doc. Seriously. That's some skeeeeery shiit! Was Wife-Of-Doc, Ruler Of The House home at the time? I can seriously hear your voice right now, looking around, scratching your head and saying, "Well, this sucks..."

^^^ OH SHIIIT!!!

Copper gas line conducting the electricty... is fucking SCARY, BROTHER!!!! DAMN!!! That guy needs to stop doing tree service, if he can't drop them where they need to be dropped. Bad Monday for him.
