bgc Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 In the chamber at the mouth, I will get some photos posted. Put a casing in the chamber and twist it to check for small burrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasnt for this fine forum I wouldnt have built one. the rifle is for my girlfriend....you think she will let me shoot it? lolI had some a2 stocks laying around,so thats why its on...Whats your opinon on carbine adjustable stocks? Both of my 6.8's have them, but im thinkin the fixed might be a little bit more balanced?:) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgc Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Nice lookin gun. The PRS stock from Magpul has a good weight to it but no area to add more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of my 6.8's have them, but im thinkin the fixed might be a little bit more balanced?:) WashFor an adjustable stock with some weight, the best you'll do is with the MagPul UBR. I've got that on a 16" 5.56 recce-type gun, and it's sweet. It's kinda heavy, and there's nothing on the planet that's as solid as that, when you look at adjustable-length stocks - no other adjustable stock on the market locks up solid like that beast. That thing is rock-f'ing-solid no matter what position it's in. If you wanted to add some more weight to the PRS, I could come up with some ways to do it - you could drill that thing and add some tungsten weights to it. There are areas you can drill it out and not affect any part of it's function. I'm just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hi 98Z5Voooops I ment whats a good car stock to lighten the weight?And a note on the first rounds through the new build....shot a box of privi soft point..no problemos....shot some dag surplus....no problemos.... shot another box of privi partizen soft point had some blown primers....wtf? then I guess a particle got wedged in bcg...so it was locked up....put rifle on bench called range officer over....he then took a rubber hammer and whacked the charging handle which then unlocked the bcg and nicley bent the charging handle and caused a lockup furhter down ....geeeez i promptly left the range to go back home and finished removing the bcg.......geez now i ive got to order another charging handle......sheesh I think the privi is the cause i googled and found out that some batches had blown primer symptoms....surely not a headspace problemo never never had this happen to a new build been doing builds since 1992 geeeez :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
