THAT IS AWESOME NEWS!!!    :hail:  I guess I was the Guinea Pig...   :banana::lmao::thumbup:

You have no idea how happy I am that companies are changing what they do, and making it right.  I don't care where it came from, just make it right.  If it came from here, then that's just badass.  If it came from their own R&D - that's still badass.  I guess I was a sucker in getting one of the first ones out, but that doesn't matter, not in the least. 

If we could get PSA to stop making band-aids, and fix their platform, we'd have alot less headaches around here, diagnosing the issue, then arguing the problems that the gun has, with the people that bought the guns...  Adjustable gas blocks are NOT the answer for under-recoiled firearms... They're just a Band-Aid Fix for an inherent problem with the weapon...   :thumbup:

I still jave to send the barrel back. I got a custom barrel from mcgowen because i wanted a 16 inch. No clue why the headspace is so far off, but they said they would take care of it.

I did try it with different bolts and no luck. Tried my bcg with other barrels and it worked fine. Clearly an issue with my barrel.
