OP, with the configuration your gun is in now, if you ran your adjustable gas block wide-open - and your gun didn't cycle - the gas port is too small. Don't know how to make it more direct than that.

But, you didn't mention a single thing about the gas port diameter, unless I completely missed it. I'll go back to what I previously told you: Here's what you need for a gas port diameter:

It shares that part with the AR15. It's not .308AR-specific. All AR safeties should work.

Absolutely fine, brother.

Let McGowen handle it, man. See if you need tobreak it all down, or if you can send them the assembled upper.

Ironically, today at work. This guy was obviously in the wrong neighborhood.

Yep, throw that 45-70 in my pile, Pete... Lemme know when to send the money, and how big my bill is... Good lookin' out, brother. I would have seen it sooner or later, but sooner is always better than Lesson 65b...

I've got 3 or 4 or them, Mike. They deliver. The Wylde chamber is the one to go after, and it's not gonna matter whether it's 7 or 8" twist. Both the Mk12s are Wylde chamber, the 16" precision gun is Wylde chamber 8" twist, and I'm pretty sure there's another one in the pile, at least.

I actually thought about trying this, briefly, about a year ago. Self preservation made me think twice about it, but I thought, for a split-second that I could take this guy home, and keep his big ass - because he wasn't gonna get me with that bird in his mouth. I got close enough for better pics, and it stayed at that. My dumbass Inner Me was saying "GRAB THAT FUCKER NOW!" but I hesitated, for my own health. This was a healthy snake...

I pull games like this at work, with newer guys. As soon as they get a bigger job, like a topend rebuild, diff rebuild, trans rebuild... They walk away from their work bench as some point... I'll walk over there and put a bolt down on the bench, in their pile of parts... Towards the end of the rebuild, they're GOING APESHIT over the leftover bolt... trying to figure out what they forgot, and where it went...

Amen, that's the damn truth...

You talked about a gun you've had since March - and there are NO SIGHTS in it. You talked a game,but gave a pic of a non-fuctional gun, as far as shooting goes. THAT WAS WHY I WAS LIKE THAT. Does that make sense to you?... I didn't post the pic of your gun for you - YOU did that. The questions arise, based on what YOU posted. Are you getting any of this yet?... Or are you still the victim, here?...

I can talk a woman in white gloves into buying a ketchup popsicle, brother... Won't feel guilty, either...

Once again... have you shot it yet?...

Right...

Have you shot it yet? Is that a current pic of the complete gun?

That earned me an ex-wife, right there... She said I'd turn like an alligator... Subconsciously, I think I did it on purpose...

@jtallen83 difference is, I don't critique your style - don't know why you think you can critique mine. Enjoy.

Won't matter much where they came from, Cliff - .308AR rifle buffers (DPMS-based and Armalite-based) are 5.200" long and weigh 5.4oz. The rifle receiver extension is 9 11/16" internal depth - it's the same extension used in AR15 rifle-stocked guns. Companies don't mess that up too often, but we've seen one or two here that didn't hit those numbers. It's an oddity, not common.

That's a pretty damn great job, with that ammo, at 750 yards - well done. It's tough to get a 150-ish grain projectile out that far, with no wind, let along 2.5 MOA wind hold. Well done.

I tried a PSA upper on an Aero M5 lower - and it didn't fit. The PSA parts are not "DPMS LR-308" based - they're proprietary, to PSA...

Help was offered, help was completely ignored. Questions were politely asked about the situation - and were completely ignored, instead with a reply that he heard an adjustable gasblock is the cure. Then he stated that he quit - and that wasn't from anything that I said. If you don't approve of my methodology, Jim- you can just ignore me. If you have a problem with how I handled myself, based on the questions and the details I asked of the man - and got no response to the questions and the details I asked of the man - straight ignored - if you have a problem with what I said or did, based on the information I asked of him... Then just say it. I think I was pretty polite with what I asked, initially - just trying to get the details on what was going on. I think I was pretty straight-forward with what I was asking - trying to solve a common problem... If you didn't like my response, Jim - you can just block me.

I simply ask you this, OP...

I know Sprinco, and some guys there, so tell me about it. Describe to me that conversation that you had with them... Ejection at 11 o'clock doesn't necessarily mean that you're over-gassed - if you've been looking at that "AR15 Ejection Pattern Chart" that's all over the web- this ain't an AR15. It's 30% larger, in all aspects. There's no need to be a bitch about it, none at all - butthurt helps no one. You're obviously butthurt. YOU posted about ejector swipes, period. That's what you posted about. I gave you information, specifically asked you for pics of the ejector in your bolt - no pics. Nothing from you but words that don't mean anything. Zero pics of the ejector. I can probably FIX your problem for zero dollars - depending on that I THINK you ejector looks like - if you want to invest 30 minutes of manual labor to fix it. You're running a left-hand eject gun, man - fucking fix it. If you wanna leave, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. That's what quitters do - they quit. If you wanna FIX YOUR GUN, then get the damn pic of your ejector up that I asked for - THAT EJECTOR is the reason for your brass swipes, I'll bet 50% of my next paycheck on. But, crickets, when asked for information... Nothing from you... Instead, you are "so proud of you" that you ignore requests to HELP YOU. I get it - your balls are buigger than everyone else's here, that help people fix guns everyday. More power to you, on that, too. Bandaid that shiit with an adjustable gas block, join other forums, and tell them all about what you've done... Just know - you put the bandaid on the wrong cut... The other option here, is to just get the requested info out- and quit letting "pride" fuk with you. That's what this is really about, here - because you've already built a couple ARs, you know it all... Pride is kicking you in the dick right now, man, you just can't admit that. Leave if you must - stay if you REALLY want to fix that Stag Leftie.

Numbered bits are the way to go. Fractional bits don't have the necessary "inbetween" to get the size close enough.
