Thielcat Posted November 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 42 minutes ago, 98Z5V said: Wrong buffer and spring - at least for that buttstock. That's a DPMS-based carbine buffer for a 308. Same shortass buffer spring. Lemme ask you - is that buttstock secured on the rifle? Cna you just pull it right off? Or, is it secured with the vented buttstock screw (the one on the buttpad, at the top, should screw into a threaded hole in the back of the receiver extension...)?Was there any kind of a spacer in the receiver extension, after you pulled out the buffer and buffer spring? EDIT - I'm surprised you don't have "slam marks" on your lower receiver, where the BCG would crash into it. Seriously. It was slamming now that I look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 1 hour ago, 98Z5V said: Yep - correct receiver extension, WAY wrong buffer and spring. You need a 308AR Rifle Buffer in that thing, measures 5.200" long. Might as well toss an Armalite EA1095 spring in there as well. That spring just runs, and there's only a couple alternatives for rifle-length recoil system springs on the market. Tubb Flatwire spring is another good option. I knew something was amiss when I saw the buffer face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thielcat Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I do believe it's tilted a little bit clockwise...it was getting dark here so I was basically getting as much lead through it as I could. The wife didn't give me much time and it was the last 50 degree day we had. It's shooting pretty consistent considering my hurried and shaken shots. I grabbed a couple pics of where I shot the target and tried to hit the shot again @ 100yds. Not bad for a quick trip out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Had the every other shot syndrome found the hammer wasnt being released from the trigger after the slide moved forward. Unless you pushed trigger forward to release it from hammer. A little polishing on the hammer where the hook prevents auto fire. And viola. Shoots everytime.
