It just sits there because of the vent fan, you smartass...

I like how you roll your meat. It's not a gay thing - I'm just sayin'... You got talent with rolling your meat, brother...

How many more things you gonna buy from CTD, now, knowing what you know? I'm just curious...

You called Luth. You bought from CTD, which sucks a$s. Your "kit" came from CTD, and they fucked you somehow. Next Monday, you need to get on the horn again with Luth, and let them in on all the details. You didn't get some "complete kit" from Luth, from CTD - you received some bastardized bullshiit from CTD, cheaper, and wrongly advertised. It borders on "fraudulent" from CTD - and that should not be a surprise to anyone... You have a couple issues here - you won'tbe able to make this right with CTD - they don't GAF anymore - you gave them money, and they sent you shiitty product. You received exactly what you clicked on, and they gave it to you. MAN, did they give it to you, too... Luth has nothing to do with this, I'm betting. If they include proper screws in their kits - you didn't receive a full "kit" from them. At this point, you'rejust fucked on anything free, or being made right by anyone - you just need a screw. Which, it looks like, you've been given enough of.

Here's a pretty bitchin' visualization of an A2 recoil system, including stock.

I'm not mad at you, dude - don't think that. I'm pissed at vendors that don't know what the fuk they're doing... We,as a board, suffer this bullshiit daily... right here...

Did you have one of these in your kit?... https://www.google.com/search?q=A2+buttstock+spacer&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjM2tfDsKnaAhUGMawKHUAqBW8Q_AUICygC&biw=1366&bih=654 If you DID, you need the longer vented screw. It you DIDN'T, you need the shorter vented screw, for an "A1 stock." That spacer, and the 5/8" longer vented screw, are the operational differences between "A1 and A2 stocks."

YOU... If you don't have a black plastic 5/8" long buttstock spacer, included with your kit, then you don't have an "A2" stock kit. If that black plastic 5/8" long buttstock spacer is NOT in your kit, then you have an "A1" stock kit, and need the shorter, vented screw. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Please link the info for the people you talked to - I can call them and find out what the hell they're doing.

^^^ Shiit rocks. I fix carbs with it, when the carb body or float bowl gets cracked. Don't underestimate dirt people, that fuk shiit up in dirt... Bastards could break an anvil in a sandpit...

I knew from the start of this thread, that we were trying to diagnose some seriously fucked up shiit. I now see that I was correct. Nothing against YOU, OP... but people never, ever learn, and continue to buy cheap shiit, then come here to try to figure out what the problem could possibly be?... It's aggravating, at times.

And that's working out great, isn't it... Fuk CTD. Who knows what you got from CTD, man. Who knows what cheap shiit they threw in there. Luth DOES have a complete kit, so if I were you, I'd contact them and find out what length buffer they ship with their own complete kit. Keep in mind... Luth-AR is Randy Luth. He founded DPMS, and knows his shiit. 40 years ago. I'd find out what you have first, before you do anything else. Call Luth-AR. Find out what they include, and dimensions. If it comes out that you're going after CTD for a fucked up part - good luck. They got your money, and they don't give one shiit about you now. They'll be happy to charge you a hundred bucks for a used GI 30-rd aluminum mag, though, next time that BS kicks up.

At one hour in, I added my mushrooms - I halved them, to get more in. Once you add them, salt them down with course salt - it helps to break them down faster, and "become one with the brew" that's going on... I lightly "water" my crock pot lid, to help it seal faster, and get to business...

First, those are just allen bolts. You'll need a proper vented screw. Hole in the middle of it. Some people will say "it doesn't matter..." ... but it does matter. All recoil systems need to push air out, and have a "vent" when that buffer is so quickly slammed to the back of that receiver extension. So, enough on that. You need an A1 vented screw, you do not need an A2 vented screw. There's something bad wrong with that buffer. It's clear that your tape isn't at the end of it, and I need very-end-to-very-end measurements. At any rate, it really doesn't matter, because that buffer is not 308 length, and it's not AR15 length, for a rifle buffer - it's in between. It's weird as hell. Where did you get this recoil system at?...

Not grilling... Crock Pot Pork roast... Bed of quartered yellow onions on the bottom of the pot, 4lb pork roast, 2 packs of onion soup mix (dry) right on top. Large Poblano pepper (sliced) around the outside, Pepperocini peppers all over the top. Fireup the crock pot on high. Once it cooks down a little, I add the whole mushrooms to the mix. Usually runs on high for 3 hours, then low for 3 hours. You rip it apart with a plastic fork...

Let us know - I'm in.

I think I have a vid of it against a pane of bank teller glass. I'll look. The glass disintegrated, and flew everywhere. Unreal. EDIT - no vid posted. It was in this thread, though. I swear I got a vid, so I'll dig through the GoPro stuff...

Welcome. Many AZ guys here. Where abouts in AZ are you located?

What he said. Lemme know what you're looking for, and I'll dig through the parts bins.

@shepp, brother can I verify THAT!!! No shiit, they do. This is really my plan - I have these - blow a hole through a wall, big enough to toss TactiCat through... then turn him loose!

Awesome pup!!!

There's also a ton of other questions, before we get these answers, but crawl down this rabbit hole. You said: How many rounds are through it? Was it lubed, heavily, when you first shot it? I'm talking almost dripping wet with lube. What ammo are you using? You can lock it back by hand - but where does the bolt catch grab the BCG? Is it on the bolt face? It should grab the bolt face -and not the BCG body...

I can't tell what's going on with your buffer, either - in this pic, it looks like it's 5.5" long. 308 rifle buffers are 5.200" long. 5.56 rifle buffers (and all small frame ARs) are 5.900" long... Please clarify on your buffer length...

ONLY.Only if you're running it at A2 length. Only if you're running it at A2 length. I've gone over this several times here, but I'll toss it in here again. Rifle recoil systems are the same. The Rifle receiver extension never changes. It doesn't matter if it's "A1" length of "A2" length - it's the exact same rifle receiver extension, buffer and spring. The A2 is longer than the A1 stock, and that's accomplished by adding a 5/8" spacer on the end of the receiver extension before sliding the stock on. You also must use a longer vented screw to retain the stock - the vented screw is 5/8" longer than the A1 vented screw. Now, hopefully all that makes sense - if it doesn't, ask away and let's get it sorted. In the mean time - can you get me a picture of your vented buttstock screw, beside the tape measure?

First, I can't believe that we don't have Aero Precision in the manufacturers section - they're the ones that are cranking out the most uppers and lowers of any other 308 manufacturer, with quality. repeated quality. We need an Aero Precision Manufacturers Subforum, in this section. Next, they announced this last week, and I just wanted to warn you guys on the inherent issue with the offering. It's not on Aero's part, kinda... 5.56 upper with a 7.5" barrel, but the damn thing has an A2 flash suppressor on the end. I'm telling you all right now - now - that the combo will rattle your damn teeth every time you pull the trigger. The concussion at the shooter, on a 7.5" 5.56 gun with the A2 is fucking unbearable. I'm not saying "don't buy this..." I'm saying, BUY IT, and you need to add a Noveske KX3 to it right away, to keep your teeth in your head. Been down this road. As soon as I saw It, I laughed, and said, "Self, that config right there, it SUCKS to shoot!!!"

Damn truth - if you can't handle the slack, cut the rope...
