BigNate Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 When I think sticking cases I think either overly hot cartridges or very worn brass... If it were me I'd .... 1. Put a box of known factory basic rounds through it and see if you can replicate... if it happens with these rounds I'd look at the gun / chamber for issues... 2. If you can't replicate with std basic rounds, I'd chrono the match rounds and look at how hot they are relative to expectation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Factory or not…. I’d put a few of them through a chronograph just to know what they are doing and what sort of variation you are seeing.

Lonewolf McQuade Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Pretty good day out today. Left the AR10 home till I get the extractor replaced. Saw 2 bald eagles, when we rolled in, pretty AMAZING! Saw about 30 groundhog & got some shooting in. Couldn't get a shot at all of them but we managed to get at least 15 today.. kinda difficult to find all the kills, $hit looks a lot different once you exit the vantage point & get out where you "thought" the victim was lol. Here's some pics of what I could locate Edited July 6, 2021 by Lonewolf McQuade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuckgaucho Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Looks like a good day. I remember couple years back going gopher hunting and this girl voiced a less than positive attitude.

Expand Yep, people change their outlook when we explain that. One farmer rolled the tractor cutting a hillside when the ground caved in around a spot that had 4 or 5 holes undermining it.

Lonewolf McQuade Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Just spoke with Glen at Armalite. He says the extractor arm for my AR10 is propriety. Armalite puts a relief cut in theirs, therefore other 308AR extractor arms will not fit. Of course the field kits which contain this part are out of stock for at least 6 to 8 months yet. Told me to call back in a couple hours & talk to parts department, they may be able to dig up just the extractor arm for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
