AzRon Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Since DPMS is no longer and I want to shoot my Gen2 I will need some back up parts. I'm thinking (trouble!) that the part that would fail would be the bolt or the extractor, which leads me to my question, can I buy just the bolt or would it be better to get bolt and carrier together? What about head space? And lastly who makes a compatible setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmackc Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 This may be a bit off topic but I bought a can of the new (well new to me) WD-40 Specialist water resistant Silicone spray lubricant. It dries quickly to a slick coat. I used it on door hinges drawer pull rails, metal window glides and it appears to work. I been wondering if it might be good on Bolt and Bolt carriers, buffers and buffer spring and maybe the charging handle. Has anyone tried it? It is supposed to work at temperatures up to 500 degrees F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best AR-15 Upgrades with John Paul of JP Enterprises https://www.arbuildjunkie.com/best-ar-15-upgrades/ Cool - but overpriced for what you're getting. Many companies do what they do - but JP caters to the RaceGun Crowd, so they charge premiums, based on what people are willing to pay. RaceGun Parts - $$$. Ever seen the difference between a RaceGun bolt, and a regular bolt? Ever seen what the RaceGun Crowd will pay for a part that says "it's better"?... Lots of companies make their bolts from the same materials, same HPT and MPI tests... the bolt is not a RaceGun part - but JP make it so, and charges a premium for it. Enjoy it.

AzRon Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Ok so back on topic, I am unsure what to get (brands aside) I am assuming that I need a short frame type bolt carrier and bolt yes? (DPMS GenII) I would also need to check headspace on the new set up yes? How do i rectify if it is different as I have heard people having spare bolts and carriers and wondered how they do that?

I don't by their products for the cool factor. Fat jagoff I let this insult go months ago, but I'm here to revisit it. I waited to answer this one, Raven. Yeah, you're right - I'm a "Fat Jagoff" according to you... This is me, siphoning brass on the range shoot, not last year, but the year before. I'm pretty far from a "Fat Jagoff", you bag of shiit. This is me... Well documented from a shoot-get-together here, and the pic didn't come from me - it was taken of me, by another. Didn't even know the pic was being taken, so I'm not "flexing" or anything for the camera... I was talking on the phone to a local, when that pic went down... You got Traps like that? Fuk, I didn't know that I had traps like that, until someone posted the pic. You wanna wrestle? I'll tie you in a knot, in 10 seconds. I'm pretty well-versed in battling PEOPLE. Not bad at it, either. Get knocked out a few times, and it makes you get better, and I got better. At any rate, I'm HERE for you, when you want to sling insults. I'm much better, face to face, though. I'm just ME. I may not be THE BEAST, but I'll tell you right now that I am A BEAST. When challenged, I will defeat whatever faces me. I'll either kill it or eat it. Maybe I am THE BEAST, based from my mentality? I will not fail. Bring whatever you have. You wanna toss anymore personal insults at me, you just let me know. I'm here for you. Waiting. You Fat Jagoff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRon Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I read on another forum that Adams Arms was producing a complete BCG for the G2, as of today still nothing on their website, they do however make a compatible bolt so for now that seems to be my only option available to me.

Rsquared Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 OK. I don't know what your deal is dude. And I wouldn't even try and put myself inside your head. But to try and do some schoolyard, bull$hit, name calling nonsense, when you've self inflicted yourself into a bunch of other guys? The issue is quite obvious. Don't take it out on us. We don't wanna hear it. AND, we're not gonna stand for it. Take your $hit somewhere else. You're just looking for a conflict that the rest of us..........just aren't interested in having. This crowd isn't having any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me you're NOT FAT, @Ravenworks, and find a way to prove it's YOU. Like a sign you're holding up, that says "FUK YOU, 98Z5V! I'M NOT FAT!!!" I'll wait...
