Magwa Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 SEE these sketcy Fuks are dirty minded I just mentioned oil and parts and see where we are? BUT she does look delicious.... but seriously it will make a huge difference in your weapon to marry the parts in synthetic oil.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 @Magwahahahahaha. It is a possibility. I soaked the parts for a week or so in oil and man what a difference! Thank you very much. It’s so much smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 So ran into another new issue yesterday at the range with my 308 build. It was double feeding. It started with, I could fire 2 and then as it was loading the third it would malfunction. Then it started happening more and more frequently until it was every single time I fired the rifle. This was a new malfunction and only has happened this range trip. The only thing I have done recently to the rifle was clean/lube the bcg and upper. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be awesome! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Double feed like two from the mag at once? or empty brass and a live one? A little more detail on the malfunction might help. Could be the gas system has taken a seal and is now a bit over-gassed when combined with the break in, just a wild guess there. Inspect all the parts for any un usual wear or damage for a start.

shooterrex Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Check and be sure your gas block is still where it is supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 @jtallen83One fired and one live. Will do. Anything in particular to look for? @shooterrexit looks aligned but I will check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying its trying to feed the next live round into the chamber before the spent casing has been pulled out and ejected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas system is a huge part, recoil system is a huge part. The Ejector and it's spring are the (obviously) biggest part of the function. To a limited degree, if the Extractor is messed up, it'll let go of the spent case before the Ejector can kick it out of the receiver. That's rare, though. That's definitely not a double-feed malfunction. Double Feeds are two live rounds trying to enter the chamber at the same time. Double Feeds are ALWAYS magazine related.

Sparkylr308 Posted July 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 @dpete yes. And the live round gets the projectile mostly into the chamber with the case mouth of the spent round. @98Z5Vwhat do you suggest then? It sounds like this is more localized in the bolt?

shooterrex Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Look at your extractor. Look at your extractor springs. Is the ejector rounded on the edge and not flat with a sharp edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure yet - what changed from the first post above that I quoted? It was running, so what changed to make it start malfunctioning? Ejector or ejector spring break? Test them, to find out. Hook a spent case under the lip of the extractor, and push it straight inline with the BCG, and see if the ejector moves in and out smoothly. See if the extractor is hanging on to the case rim. We know the gas system and recoil system are good - it was working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 @98Z5Vi cleaned and lubed the bcg well. All of that looks fine. I have noticed a lot of brass shavings though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 @shooterrexit has two ejectors. Both are rounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HAVE seen brass shavings clog up an ejector before, so test that ejector, like I described above - make sure it's moving in and out smoothly, and not hanging up. It might be good just to remove it, and clean all that stuff out, and see what comes out... You shoot .45 ACP? Have any spent cases laying around?

Sparkylr308 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 @98Z5Vit does move freely but is very stiff and honestly hard to kinda start to push in, if that makes sense? I will take it apart and see what it looks like. yes I do shoot 45 acp and I do have spent casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling the ejector is easy without special tools, and it's super easy with .45 ACP cases. .The .45 ACP rim diameter is identical to .308 Win rim diameter, which means it fits the .308 bolt face perfectly. Put a used .45 case over the bolt tail to protect it, put another .45 case in the bolt face, in a vise, and tighten until it's all straightened up. Add a little twist to the vise handle then. You can then tap out the ejector roll pin easily, but you might have to brace the underside of the bolt, and hold it straight, while you tap out the roll pin. After the pin is out, relax tension on the vise, slowly, and remove the case that was in the bolt face, and you can take the ejector and spring right out of it. If you hit that roll pin like a Hero, you'll certainly knock the whole rigged-up assembly right out of the jaws of the bench vise. Just sayin'... P.S. DO NOT remove the extractor for this - it helps to hold the .45 case in place, while you're screwing everything down in the vise. Removing the extractor is not necessary, and will hinder the operation. This operation takes 3 hands to perform, when done properly, you'll see when you start it, so be patient. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast... You don't need a hundred-dollar special tool to do it, though. Just a couple .45 cases and a vise. And a pin punch. P.P.S. If there's a bunch of brass shavings down in that hole, make sure you get a pic of it before you clean it out...

Sparkylr308 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 @98Z5Vthat is very good to know! Thank you! I will try to do that tomorrow! I will take pictures for sure. Also if the malfunction happens again I’ll take pictures of that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 @98Z5V You weren’t kidding! What an P.I.A!!! I got it out, cleaned it, and back together. It was definitely dirty in there. Some brass in there and a little chunk of metal or something came out. I cleaned it well. Degreased all the parts. So we will see. I ordered the sprinco orange buffer spring and extractor spring combo. Figured why not get both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question on that BCG - both ejectors held in place with one pin? Or is there a separate pin for each ejector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 @98Z5Vit wasn’t to bad after I figured it out! I I used my vice and tightened it lightly to hold them in place. It is just one pin across to held it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylr308 Posted August 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Got the sprinco orange spring and extractor spring in. I hope to test it this week and have some feedback for you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
