Saw something rare today.

Guy from work and his son came out to sight in 308ars.

The new Stag didn't run till I put an Armalite recoil spring in it.

After about 100 rounds it ran with his stock spring from Stag.

What was unreal was his son built a PSA that ran ok. He even used one of the JP silent spring things.

Gas tube barely made it into the receiver. He is going to replace that.

It did have an adjustable gas block so  wondering if the gas port is huge.

The only thing he ran through it was M80 ball.

I expected to have to work on the PSA and had to work on the Stag.

The BCG on the Stag was soaked in Mobile one overnight.

It was good to see smiles on their faces when they were banging steel @275 yds when the farthest they had ever shot before was 100yds.

I've dealt with that Stag 308 spring before - it's the stiffest damn spring I've ever seen in a .308AR.  Too stiff.  My cure on that gun was a Sprinco Orange spring, and it worked.

On the PSA, chances are that the adjustable gas block is on there because it's so completely under-recoiled, and has a tiny gas port. All been seen in the past.  They like to put the band-aid on the wrong cut.
