mtrmn Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I was referred here when I was troubleshooting my PSA 308AR build. I found a treasure trove of tried and true info that fixed all my problems in short order. Stuff like short gas tubes, light buffers etc. Thanks to 98Z5V and everyone else for all the help.

Mtrmn Welcome aboard, and glad to see the information helped someone, without them soliciting for help - THAT is why the info is up there, and it's great to see your words. By chance, where were you referred from, if you don't mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By chance, where were you referred from, if you don't mind?" Someone on Snipers Hide put a link in their post about troubleshooting a PSA 308AR. Been a member there since 2009. My PSA 308 was built from a parts kit, 16" bbl. I later changed the bbl to a Faxon pencil barrel to try and make it a little lighter. But I had many and various problems with the gun from the get-go, and changing the barrel did not effect any of them. The MAIN problem I had was random case head separations with starting-level loads. I finally got hold of some headspace gages and found that the gun would fully and easily close on a no-go gage. I had already changed the bbl so I decided it had to be the bolt. Bought a Lantac bolt assembly which fixed that part of the equation instantly. Your articles fixed the rest. I couldn't find an Armalite mid-length or "carbine length" gas tube but did find out another company makes the same tube-LBE Unlimited. Worked like a charm. Again, thanks to all for the help and the welcome messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtrmn Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Glad I could cheer you up and also glad I didn't start off over here on your bad side. 😉 One thing I learned on the Hide is "Don't start nothin' and there won't BE nothin' " Seen a lot of newbies get their asses handed to them in short order by the real pros when they started spouting off BS.

I'm really not that bad - I just don't like dickheads, and engineers-that-know-everything. You will never be on my bad side - You've come here in a respectable manner, right off the bat, and that always goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
