Looks like PSA is using a proprietary extractor, then, if it's indeed smaller? That would mean they have a different bolt, as well. Can your larger extractor (Fulton, that worked) actually fit in the PSA bolt?

This was decided before, on October of 2016, in Connecticutt. It was pretty well laid out in a 54-page decision. It's gonna get overturned, and it looks like a politically motivated decision this time... https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/judge-tosses-sandy-hook-lawsuit-gun-maker In 2005, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act was passed, asa United States Law - and is the result of the DC Sniper rampage that those two idiots did. Here's what it is: "The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a United States law which protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. However, both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible in much the same manner that any U.S.-based manufacturer of consumer products is held responsible. They may also be held liable for negligent entrustment when they have reason to know a gun is intended for use in a crime. The PLCAA is codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 7901-7903." So, there's the law protecting the Arms Manufacturers. Gonna be pretty hard to "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that Bushmaster/Remington, as a company, KNEW what that little fucker planned to do with that rifle - in the future, after the point of purchase... This is gonna get squashed.

The machine work is dead-sexy.

Wilson Combat barrels need Armalite AR-10 gas tubes - watch out for that. Even the gas tube you get from Wilson Combat will be short.

I was thinking that exact same thing - everything about that extractor is smaller. It could be because it's further from the camera, though. I'd like to see it measured out, at least with a tape measure - wouldn't necessarily have to be with vernier calipers. It sure looks like it...

It really did go down like that, too...

Set the torque wrench at 90 degrees to the adapter, and no calculations need to be made. That's the way to do it anyway, when using adapters.

You'd think different if you've ever had it on your hands, and seen the projectiles. You can keep your 338 blackout - it's not the "big boy blackout" in any way... This cartridge compares to a .338 Federal. I'll just keep my .338 Federal with Hornady 225gr SST loads.

Notice the difference in the bends in the 15.5" gas tube? AR15s and .308ARs have a different height-over-bore, when you're looking at barrel centerline-to-gas tube entrance in the upper receiver. The .308ARs are just bigger, and have a higher height-over-bore in that area, than an AR-15. Just another reason why AR15 gas tubes shouldn't be used on .308s...

From reading the article, could this have been a suicide?

Scap the 50gr TSX. Use the 70gr TSX. Thank me later. Here's the vaulted Sierra 77 SMK compared to a Barnes 70 TSX. If you need to fuk shiit up with a 5.56 gun, that's the projectile to do it. If you need to shoot windshields and try to break cinder blocks, shoot SS109.

You can't take my village, fucker... You know what you'll face... If you plan on tearin' shiit up, you need to GET to my village...

With a gas port that's where it should be, and a gas system issue, with a short tube that cuts off gas flow to the BCG before it should - you really need to wide-open that gas block. For real. Get the right gas tube in there, but don't rely on that - wide-open that block, at the same time as firing the new gas tube. If that thing doesn't run...

You're in there. Hip-Deep, you're in...

HELL YEAH!!! Meet at my house at 11am or after, on Friday, 15 March. That'll be about the soonest I can get Matt there... (I already know this means your ass will show up Thursday night... - just let me know you're doing it WAY BEFORE 15 minutes prior, fucker... )

I don't know how I missed this one, man... Doc even pointed it out, too... Cerakote is easy to do, keep the pressure at about 20~25psi, keep your distance from the part, and prep, prep, prep the part. Pay attention to the Cerakote User's Manual where they tell you about gassing out the parts. That's the most important part. I soak my parts in Acetone for an hour, then gas them - if they come out of that fine, I paint them. I used to sandblast everything down to bare aluminum, but found that much prep is unnecessary. Now, I scuff the parts with an abrasive pad, Acetone them, gas them out, paint them. Works great.

You gonna be out here next weekend, brother?

Damn, I've been so busy with work and reloading, that I've not kept up with your situation. I didn't get any email notifications, so I'd guessed that they got you solved. Rob was pulling his hair out... I remember one reply from Rob was, "WOW! His account is FUKKED!!!" I logged into his account and it attacked MY computer!!!... This is gonna take some time..." Glad it's resolved, man!

That first UBR was an integrated 7.000" internal-depth receiver extension. You have the right buffer weight for a .308AR, and the KAK short buffer is good. That spring was designed for DPMS's 3.8oz, 2.500" buffer. Put a Sprinco Orange spring in there. That will eliminate any issues that might be coming from the recoil system.

WEG, you have a gas system issue. The others stated it. Armalite AR-10 RIfle Gas Tube, first. Get that in there. Not some generic POS that's advertised as "AR-10 rifle gas tube" either - the real deal, from Armalite. You can buy one from a reputable vendor, but make sure the part isn't bullshiit. Armalite AR-10 Rifle gas tubes measure 15.5" long. They are not AR15 parts. Next, wide-open that gas block for testing, until you get this thing running right - that will be the only way in the world to determine if your gas port is the proper size - or too small. If it doesn't run wide-open - then you need to drill up that gas port diameter. Replace the gas tube first, with something that will work. You're ending available gas pressure to the carrier key, before it's supposed to end. That short gas tube cuts the gas pressure as soon as that BCG carrier key clears it - and the rest vents. Having a gas tube that's too short lets that carrier key and BCG rearward movement STOP receiving it's gas pressure too early. Doesn't look like much, but it's huge when you combine it with all the other issues - they just compound on each other, and make a gun that doesn't run. We measure hammer lock-time in milliseconds, and people think it's important. With gas system timing, it's equally important- but there are so many people out there that just say, "Nah, it's okay, it really doesn't matter..." It matters. Welcome here, from the FAL Files - partner up with Full30. Firearms communities need to stick together, and not be specific-snobs. Somehow, the Dems can all stick together to shut us down, but as a community, we're more interested in in-fighting and bickering, and bullshiit like that.

What all did you have to change to make this thing run? It didn't work, straight from the factory? At a minimum, I see a random AR15 recoil spring that was the lightest weight that you had - what else?

What bullpup rifles did you handle in the Army?...
