earthquake Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I am thinking about trying to build a LR 10 in .300 Ruger, It is a magnum round for sure. I want to have a 24" barrel with a +3" gas tube and adjustable gas block, I will use a Tubb's flat wire recoil spring with a hydraulic buffer and probably a weight in the bolt. KAK makes a upper in .300 WSM but I want to use a case with out a belt. The Ruger case head is .530, I was going to use a KAK Magnum bolt in a std bolt carrier. the .300 Ruger is a pretty high pressure round [around 63,800 psi] it will shoot 180gn bullets at 3000fps. I am looking for some one to make a barrel, I want it to have a .050" gas port that I will open up a couple of thousands at a time until the bolt will lock back and then open it up another .005" and start tuning with the adjustable gas block, I am worried about the barrel diameter at the barrel extension being to small [1.200"] to handle the pressure. has any body seen or done this kind of build? Thanks for any help Earthquake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I've combined a flat wound spring and hydraulic buffer. If your goal is to make a functional rifle into a paperweight, that combo works perfectly. I'd recommend a buffer + spring combo from Slash instead.
