AKADave Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Hello all! New to AR-10 platform but not necessarily to ARs in general. Just picked up a DPMS GII Recon ( I know I know, not a lot of love) as my first dip into the pool. I am preemptively correcting some of the issues early with a new compensator (PWS CQB) and Im thinking after reading all the reviews a new gas block may be next as they say the gun is over-gassed. In any event, thanks for letting me participate!
mrmackc Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Have you followed the DPMS break-in instructions and really lubed the bolt and BCG? Did you have problems after break-in (100 rounds) of factory ammo?

Although could be older info and since been corrected, dont know.
Armed Eye Doc Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 I would test it for proper function before changing anything mechanical. If there are other problems, you may have more difficulty figuring it out if you have already made changes. And, as mrmack said, lube it very well.
unforgiven Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Welcome from Indiana brother, Run it before you change it.
mrmackc Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Please remember that on gun forums (reading) that a huge percentage of folks post on these forums problems and hope to get fixes. Some, maybe most. new gun buyers take the gun home clean and oil it,like old Dad told them load it up, and start shooting it and you never"read" about these good cases, Be careful about having problems that actually NEVER happen.

Good advice. I will run the heck out of it first. I do know that the comp is supposed to alleviate a lot of noise for the shooter. Thought it would be a good first upgrade.
jtallen83 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Welcome from Iowa, via DC. Besides incorrectly aligning the new gas block adding an adjustable block won't hurt but it might not be needed.
AKADave Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Posted March 1, 2018 Forgot to add in my intro. Im in Alaska!
shepp Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 Welcome from Wisconsin Dave, like they say it ain’t broke don’t fix it, go lube that girl up and run some lead thru her
