MONTANA308 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Just ordered this BCG my last piece to my build is hopefully here next week. Then its test fire time.
survivalshop Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Posted July 5, 2013 Nice . Just remember we need a full report with photo's. I just need a good fix of BCG porn. I may cancel my back order for this one.
MONTANA308 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Ya 307 shipped to my door pretty good price the only thing is i wonder who makes it no company name with this BCG. ill get some pics up when it comes in. I couldnt wait any longer for SI it was kill me.
Rsquared Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 ^^^^ Don't say that I blame you Montana. Hell, I've had a pair of SI Defense BCG's in 5.56 on order for what seems like forever now.
MONTANA308 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Ya and I talked to them on Tuesday it didn't sound like they had any clue on time frame. So thats why i finaly pulled the trigger on this BCG I got money down on a SI NIB 308 I'll probaly buy when ever it comes in just to complete my Montana AR. I picked up one of there 308 muzzle brakes the other day.they are selling them now. But I'm running a NEMO flashider on my rifle guess I'll have to build one more 308 lol one more!
Rsquared Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Can you ever REALLY have enough? After all.....they're all different! It's not like any of us just keep building the same thing over and over. So what's one more? Just keep stacking them like cord-wood. That's what the rest of us do. <laughs>
MONTANA308 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Lol ya stacking them like cord wood every gun nuts wet dream.
Rsquared Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Hmmmm. So, you're saying I have a problem then. Maybe I need a 12 step program for rifles.
Robocop1051 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 Hmmmm. So, you're saying I have a problem then. Maybe I need a 12 step program for rifles. Does that mean you get 12 new rifles? If so, then sign me up for the next meeting!!
Rsquared Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) You're already on the list, man. Edited July 6, 2013 by Rsquared
MONTANA308 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 My name in Montana308 and I am an ARaholic!!! first step is admitting right? Put me on the list as well. I don't see much help coming from this support group though!!
survivalshop Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Wonder if they are the same , reads made in USA . I see a " C " or a " U " on the bolt . Edited July 7, 2013 by survivalshop
MONTANA308 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 Ya I was gonna call Rainer arms and see just where this thing comes from
MONTANA308 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Ok got this baby in I'll post some pics tonight or tomorrow so I slide it in the gun works great close it up go to charge the rifle and it won't slide back. Now I have an armalite bolt catch are they any difference between them and a dpms. I took out e forward assist thinking that may have been the problem but it was not. Any help would be great I'll get some pics up as soon as I can
Rsquared Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Did you have a mag in it? Not that it should make a difference. Just wondering. There is a difference between the Armalite and the DPMS bolt catch. The Armalite catch is beefier. But either one of them would be in the downward position when you go to charge the rifle. A simple test to rule it out. Try charging it while pushing in on the paddle of the bolt catch.
survivalshop Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Posted July 14, 2013 Are you saying the bolt won't unlock ?
MONTANA308 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Pics of bolt bottom pic is as far as it will come back
MONTANA308 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Would trigger hammer be the problem I took it apart but not sure it seems right
MONTANA308 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Def bolt catch put some grease on the bottom of bolt and you could see right where it stopped I guess the armalite is to beefy for my SI or something I will order anther bolt catch and see. Prob going to go with a Fulton armory one.
MONTANA308 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Problem solved for now installed an ar 15 one I had out of LPK works not sure if heavy enough but least be able to shoot it now the armalite bolt catch was just to big I guess
survivalshop Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) The problems with an AR 15 catch is that they some times miss the bolt on lock back or don't catch enough of the bolt to hold it back & will drop the BCG with just a slight bump of the rifle . I would make sure that the Bolt catch is seating properly in the lower receiver. Check the height of the AR 15 catch & then install the AR 10 catch & compare the two to see if the AR 10 may not be seating all the way into the lower receiver. All have to remember that there are no Ml spec's on the AR 308 type rifles , so some tolerance stacking could be happening . Most can be over come , but some can't. The measurement can be done with a digital caliper( as in the photo below ) dial caliper or what ever you can find to take a hight measurement. Take a measurement with it in catch mode (mag holding BCG back ) & at rest. Compare the two catch's , at there different mode's . Edited July 20, 2013 by survivalshop
