Tripledeuce Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Are you going to do a bolt for the RR? Thanks Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucson308 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 $225 for just the bolt...Have no plans as of now to do a RR bolt. It depends on the want for one and I will need to reverse engineer one of them as well. Do you know the differences of the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Guys, keep in mind, if you have to use a forward assist on a .308, you have problems and should stop shooting immediately! Buying a BCG without one will not affect you rifle with a forward assist on it, you just won't be able to use it.I realized I had a follow up question on this. Since the upper is set up to have a forward assist, if you are ending up with a BCG that doesn't have it (which I can't really tell from the description of the harris tactical one from what I know) what do you do with the hole if you bought a stripped upper?

tucson308 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Go to Mcmaster-Carr website and check out the "Round Finishing Plugs for Tubing" you can only buy a 100 piece pack, but the pack is only $7.00. you could sell the extras for $7.00 each considering the market. As long as you put AR in the discription people will pony up for them, It will also allow you 2-3 weeks to ship them, Ha Ha... You may be able to find them at your local hardware store, or a local industrial supply warehouse, if you have one.the other option is to put in the intended parts just for looks, but you will spend $40 plus for it.

tucson308 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm just assuming it would be that one. You will see that each plug will cover a range of sizes.I will check mine tonite and let you know for sure, unless someone else can check theirs for you.

EasyEJL Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Actually I found that midway sells a plug specifically made for this http://www.midwayusa.com/product/198053/schuster-forward-assist-plug-delrin-ar-15and its only $8 anyhow, so I can throw it in on my next order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would say you can install one and not use it, use it, or the plug you found will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucson308 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Buy the Mcmaster plug. They are intended for this application and will work every bit as well as the $8 plug...Told you that you could get $7 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 You guys are getting all wrapped around the axle about your BCG having serrations or not. Forward Assist works on 308 ARs, regardless of serrations, no serrations, whatever. Here's what I put up on the previous page:Forward assist works on 308 ARs. It doesn't ratchet the BCG down the upper receiver like the AR-15 does, but it catches the shoulder on the BCG and locks it into battery. It would be the equivalent of the "last click" of a forward assist on the AR-15.It works on all DPMS and Armalite patterned 308s, notches, serrations, smooth doesn't matter. I can't vouch for the RRA guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlar Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi guys. I'm in the same boat as most, I need a DPMS BCG to complete my build. It's like trying to find the holy grail or something. I put myself on the Harris Tactical wait list but I'm on the fence about it. I don't know anyone who has had one thru them or if they truly are magnetic partical inspected or just stamped such? I added the link below. http://www.harristacticalonline.com/308-762x51-Nickel-Boron-Complete-Bolt-Carrier-Group-NIB-X-FA-HT-NB-308.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucson308 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 All ready for the range. Was expecting to be their and back by now, to report on the bolt testing, but I was delayed at the vet when we had to discuss treatment for a cancer diagnosis. Just put down my Yellow lab in December with liver cancer. This sucks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucson308 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thanx, MattOn a good note, the bolt worked great and the rifle functioned great through 50 rounds except for a weak ejection, but I have a good idea what needs to be done for that. shot the attached 5 shot group at 100 after I shot about 25 rounds function testing and sighting her in. Took the Vortex off my 6.5 Grendel, slapped it on the .308 and it was within 8" at 100. Back to the range tomorrow to see if I can get a group without a flyer, or was it just a poor shot on my part??? Bottom line is the bolt is in as new condition and I will consider it a success for now. still need to put at least 250 rounds on it and then destruction test it to check the inner structure of the steel.

98Z5V Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is a DPMS-compatible bolt assembly, if that helps. Start looking for stripped carriers, and build one up. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONTANA308 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Who do I buy the bolt from? Can get a stripped carrier from Fulton and all other parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Looks like the group buy is over? Is that a good sign they will be shipping soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlar Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 This is the reply from Chris at SI. Still a ways out it seems. Great to hear that, the cost of the 308 bolt carrier group is $310.00. We will be taking orders for these when we get closer to production. Feel free to contact us in about six weeks to check on status. Chris BaldwinSI Defense Manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said it was in stock, but apparently it was not. I never backordered though, but I guess they assumed I did...So now it looks like I have 2 BCGs on the way, which one will be better? I'm thinking the JP one since I will have an adjustable gas block. Maybe I should just build a second rifle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
