survivalshop Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I got my POF roller bearing cam pin yesterday & installed it today . Fit was not a problem & testing it , the BCG seems to me , to run a little easier . No scientific testing but the BCG just slides home & locks with out a problem .Will do some range testing maybe tomarrow to see how it works .They say no lubrication needed ,but I did not like the way the rollers sounded & felt , so some CLP & it feels like it should .

survivalshop Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Worked just fine as far as the BCG was concerned , but the BCG did not stay back when last round was fired ,again . I thought I got that taken care of . I'm hoping that its not just because of the change of one part . I was using a special 169 gr. ,solid copper bullet I have & hand loaded , so the problem may lie there. The shape of this bullet makes it not a good feeder in any of my semi auto 308's ( feed a complete mag ,this test )& the load is still in development stages, but that's another story.

specopsscout Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hey Bro,I've been thinking of picking one of those up, myself. My new POF P308 Recon has been running well without it, but I am starting to see that small wear mark in the upper receiver from the cam pin. I've been told the wear is self limiting, but I might pick one up just for giggles. I'd be really surprised to learn the cam pin had any effect on the bolt lock...sounds more like it might be a magazine spring issue...Respectfully,Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I will be disassembling the rifle to check the roller cam pin & will speak up if I see any thing out of the ordinary . I believe its more likely may hand loads , short stroking the action . Like I said this bullet is a subject of a thread in its self . Its a really good grouper & I would like to get it to function reliably ,but the shape is causing problems feeding in semi auto's .I'm experimenting with OAL & charge weights & I think I went to low of a charge . They all functioned ,but might be just a tad low to force the BCG back far enough to completely engage the bolt stop . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 No issues at , works fine , no funny ware patterns or any thing like that . This build with the CMMG lower gave me fits until I got the Bolt stop fitted to work & this lower will not work with PMags , period ! All steel mags works flawlessly .

moagm316 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 My hunch is that it is not the roller cam pin. Does anyone have any different experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankbuff Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I just put one in my DPMS LR 308 Standard- lubed it- LSA. No issues. Carrier moves nice and smooth. I havent shot it yet, will report when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
