JohnZ Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Greetings. I'm new to the AR-10 and have a very basic question. I've just received an upper from Midway (AR Stoner) with side charging handle. I just put it on my lower and the bolt is sticking/catching when pulling back. I've never had this issue with any of my AR-15s and wondered if this was just sloppy machining that will fix itself and loosen up after a few rounds or if there is something else I'm missing. (Yes, I know I should have done a higher-end upper, but this was all I could currently find in stock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterrex Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Pretty sure the Stoner brand midway is selling is made by Bear Creek Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnZ Posted April 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Here is the link to the upper: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1023197282 Yes, I went 6.5, so let’s not get into that debate. I’m a bi-caliber guy, my SCAR is .308... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no "debate" to get into. I have a bunch of 6.5mm guns, and so do others here. Don't know what kind of a fight you'd thought that you were gonna get, but it won't be a fight here. Lighten Up, Francis. In your shoes, I'd be contacting Midway, and asking if they're aware of this, if they've had any other reports of something like this - then going straight to the manufacturer of this upper - AR Stoner - and asking the same questions...

Only Armalite makes those, and it's a different pattern from what you have. Insisting that it's "an AR-10" only clouds the discusssion with inaccurate information - that will net you answers that don't pertain to the actual platform that you have. What you have is a ".308 AR"... Clearly listed in the Midway title for this part, it states "LR-308" - which is a DPMS pattern. But, it's not made by DPMS, it's just on the DPMS LR-308 pattern... Not trying to bust your balls - but the terminology really does matter. Edited April 6, 2021 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
