Final .308 Mega Arms build and test

[lovetabike]

It took a awhile to build , between learning about the parts and getting what I wanted. I didn't go the cheap route. I just the best for what i wanted.

• Mega Maten .308 upper/lower nickle borron
• Christensen arms carbon fiber 18" .308 barrel. ( I have a Christensen Arms  armalite hand guard for sale. This build is a DPMS so I can't user it.)
• Lancer Arms 13" carbon fiber handguard
• Geissele Enhanced Combat trigger SSA E
• JP high .308 pressure bolt assembly and firing pin
• JP gen 2 silent captured spring kit
• Adaptive tactical stock
• Lantac Dragon muzzle break

 A bit of a rough start on the first firing as a the bolt didn't want to close, a couple light primmer strikes.  After a bout 15 rounds it was behaving but would not reload or lock back after the last round.

I went back today and switched out the heavy spring for the med and it would reload but not lock back. After replacing the med spring with the light spring it functioned perfectly. I put 50 more rounds through it. 

It was fun making my own and I leaned a lot. i also know the rifle inside out.

That's a damn good looking rifle.  Well done.

Very nice! Keep it well lubed and after some rounds (these big boys take a few hundred sometimes to break in) you’ll be able to get back into those stiffer springs

Megas are really nice. Some of the finest machining and coating you'll ever see.
