survivalshop Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Hired Well crap.... do that and let the handle fly... ill tell ya right now... you will have trouble removing the round from the chamber..as its tight and new...dont whack on the charging handle either. when trying to get the round out I think what you need is my old standby plan B... you take your rifle to the local range...and I know there's gotta be a know it all A-hole range officer. Unpack your rifle load up the mag,and then go over to the range officer and tell him you dont know $hit about this rifle and would he shoot it for you....there ya go easy peasy oh...stand behind him :) Wash <lmao> Try a different set of gages & a different Dummy round,( make sure the case & COL are to spec's ) with out the Ejector installed in the Bolt . You can also oil up the bolt lugs & cycle the Action a few hundred times , maybe less , can be done with just the complete Upper Assembly , & check HS again . Edited June 13, 2015 by survivalshop
98Z5V Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 hired you got this going on thats a LOT of coating it doesnt take much to fubar the function of bolt to chamber :) Wash NiB is a coating, brother. Nitride isn't a coating, though. That stuff in your example pics is nitrided - and that doesn't increase any dimensions.
washguy Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 98Z well I was wrong...but then I was right...his bolt is nickle boron.... so there <laughs> Wash
98Z5V Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I know that - he said it. Then you had to go and post a pic of a nitrided BCG... <lmao>

Then you had to go and post a pic of a nitrided BCG... <lmao> Ha I was gonna post a pic of the nib....but the nitride looked thicker <lmao> Wash you think he has head space problems.....what bout mine? dont answer that ::) Edited June 13, 2015 by washguy
98Z5V Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Too late. It always looks thicker when you're the one looking at it. Yeah, that $hit just happened... <laughs>

Tripledeuce Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Sounds , to me, as a gunsmith that the chamber is out of spec. One way to tell is to make a chamber cast, and mike everything. I'd bet the chamber is to small in dia, and possibly the headspace is off. When headspacing ANY weapon, the operator should remove the extractor and ejectors. Both can effect the headspaceing. Respectfully Terry
DNP Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah, but two different setups at the same time? The odds say no way. Something else is going on. I'm not bashing the OP, but this is the thought I would be having if I was in the situation. The only things common to both rifles are the issue and the builder. Sounds like you have a firm grasp on the procedure though, so who knows. I can't wait to hear the final solution.
hired_gun Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Posted July 29, 2015 I kinda fell off the earth for a bit, but here is an update. I removed the extractor on the bolts and the problem is/was solved. They all head space perfect. Thanks to all members for their help and input
survivalshop Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 Extractor , Must be a bad one or a very heavy spring . Sure it wasn't the Ejector you removed ? Just curious , I've never had an Extractor cause a Head Spacing problem , ya never know <dontknow>
mrraley Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Something I just noticed and I haven't seen it brought up yet... OP say he's building a .308 rifle... BUT the pictures of a 5.56 BCG and barrel. I'm not sure if they are what's being worked on or just for practical demonstration... Could be the problem.... Edited July 29, 2015 by mrraley
survivalshop Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 I don't think the OP even posted a photo , it was Washguy, that posted a Barrel & bolt , with the wrong finish <laughs> as 98 pointed out . <thumbsup>

hired_gun Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Posted August 3, 2015 Extractor , Must be a bad one or a very heavy spring . Sure it wasn't the Ejector you removed ? Just curious , I've never had an Extractor cause a Head Spacing problem , ya never know <dontknow> You are 100% correct. My mis-thinking. It was indeed the EJECTOR that I removed to rectify the problem. My bad and I apologize if I mislead anyone
survivalshop Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) No apology necessary , just glad she is good to go . All we need now is a range report . <thumbsup> Edited August 3, 2015 by survivalshop
