OldGregg Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 So I've been in the process of slowly piecing together my 308 AR over while now. I have a a Rainier arms billet upper lower set and so far everything is going pretty well but I recently ordered a Proof barrel and noticed something a little odd. The barrel fit is fine as far as the diameter goes but what I noticed is that the extension seems to overhang slightly over the inside of the upper. I do mean slightly the measurement i took with my calipers shows the barrel extension is about .010 longer than the upper extension. Does anyone know if this will be a problem? The feed ramps don't over hang at all so I don't feel that feeding would be an issue but I am used to the barrel and upper extension sitting flush in AR 15s I've worked on. Am I good to go or does this need to be addressed? IMG_1758.HEIC IMG_6731 2.HEIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) You're pics didn't show for me. Try something else for attaching or uploading pics... I tried downloading your pics- and it didn't work. Something is going on there with that .HEIC file thing that you have going on...

98Z5V Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I got it - get off your Apple IPhone, and get on some kind of desktop computer - and upload your photos. That .HEIC extension is some kind of Apple IPhone thing. It's not working here. Phones aren't real computers, not matter how hard they try to be. Sometimes, it takes real computers to solve real computer shiit. I'm just sayin'... Edited November 28, 2019 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGregg Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Can you see those? I was airdropping them to my computer and it gave them a weird file format I didn't notice.

98Z5V Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Doesn't look too bad, in that second pic. Can't see much in that first pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGregg Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Good to know, just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be some kind of safety issue or cause a function problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 This is gonna be a sweet .308AR, right here. Rainier billet sets are gorgeous, and Proof barrels are just plain sexy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
