planeflyer21 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 VIV don't listen to those two with the Ford/Chevy argument. You'll get that fine DPMS (look at it as a perfected Armalite) running in no time at all. Once you get it figured out, you can move up to a Rock River LAR-8.

Great if you're a pitcher or a boxer... The rest of your life sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIVALABASS21 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 after checking all listed items from previous posts I took the DPMS308 out again this morning. Now I'm able to get 3 shot intervals before it jams. Still annoying but its an improvement from it being a single shot. now when I shoot it, its...1shot....2shot...3shot....4th live round is chambered but trigger acts like the hammer is still up or the safety is on. I checked it several times once this happened by removing the upper and saw that the hammer was cocked and ready to fire and when I put it back together it would shoot the next round. could there be another issue with the firing pin? When I took it apart to clean it last night, I couldn't believe how easy the firing pin retaining pin fell out. I didn't even touch it, it fell out on its own...is that normal?

EasyEJL Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 That's not exactly normal (although not entirely crazy either) but it doesn't seem like its something that would cause what you have happening. Beyond that though, I have no ideas for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Loose firing pin retaing pin is a non issue. You can buy a different one whenever. Take a part your lower and push the hammer and trigger pins and when you reassemble the fire control assembly make absolutly sure the spring are install CORRECT. I fixed ar lr308 yesterday that was FTF ing. Cock it fired then nothing. So I notice the trigger spring is not installed in the proper position. Took the fire control group out and reinstalled it , fixed. So just check it. Stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Make sure disconnector spring is fat end down and seated on trigger :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIVALABASS21 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 thanks for the quick replies. I just removed the trigger and hammer to check springs. everything looks correct. I went ahead and reinstalled a different MilSpec. FCG just to see if it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Viv did you ever say what ammo you are using? dont use any crapola mil 762 stuff on a break in or any .762 period.....use 308 ammo some good stuff :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Was the bolt fully into battery when it FTF ? I think you have a tight rifle assembly & it needs to get the round count up & don't be afraid to use a different lubricant . I use a small dab of synthetic grease at the back edges of the bolt locking lugs for break in , to help the bolt seat smoother into the barrel extension & as said , run her wet for a while . The firing pin retaining pin can be made tighter , which type do you have ? One like the AR 15 or the 308 type that has a head on it like a nail ?

blue109 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I broke mine in with a few boxes of M80 and a can of crusty Indian surplus :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I broke mine in with a few boxes of M80 and a can of crusty Indian surplus :Pmine was south African surplus :) but same crap. I had to tumble it before shooting to get some of the corrosion off as the first few jammed from it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Plane on new tight barrels you wanna use 308 cause its a tad smaller dimension wise vs .762 also you wanna take out of the equation crap ammo if she's hard to cycle....and who knows what load mil surplus is? and no reloads when sorting out a rifle :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) I only use reloads , so it would be hard for me NOT, to break in a new build without them , but if you are unsure of your ammo , factory ammo is a good choice , as was said . 308 /7.62x51 cartridges are the same dimensions , its the chambers that are different . Any modern barrel will be able to shoot both , with out a problem , giving the ammo is to spec's.

planeflyer21 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Used the DAG cupronickle jacketed surplus on both rifles for break in. Biggest problem I had was compressing my gut to bend over and pick this stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIVALABASS21 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Range update... The gun is starting to loosen up and if I keep dripping motor oil in it every few minutes it seems to shoot better. Its still not great but I can now shoot between 5-10 rounds per mag without jamming. Now when the gun jams it seems to try and chamber (2) live rounds.....any ideas what would cause this? I'm not using and NATO 7.62, its all bought now commercial 308win. I've been changing between cheap stuff like steel cased Wolf,Tulammo, and also more expensive like brass cases Federal, Remington and both seem to produce the same results so far. Attached it a photo of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Check out your extractor and the extractor spring. It could be a damage extractor, but it's likely just a crushed/compressed spring. Luckily, both fixes will only cost you a fee dollars. Shooting the steel case ammo in a rifle that's not 100% broken in can damage the extractor. The mil surp ammo can burn dirty and foul up the inside of the bolt, wearing out the spring. I managed the latter on my first 7.62x39 build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 What brand mag. are you using ? Trying to feed two rounds at a time is usually magazine related, the feed lips are not holding the cartridges in place or like my CMMG lowered build , it will do that with any P-Mag I put in it ,the rifle will function correctly with only steel mags . Now if its a spent, non-ejected round & a live round , could be ejector or extractor problems. Save that steel cased fodder for when the rifle is functioning correctly . IMO that stuff sucks .
