Newest rifle build
The 308 is working! Decided I wanted a serious rifle. Have researched the 308 AR for several years. Put it all together this summer. Second rifle build went smoothly. First shots went where I pointed them. Yes, it's loud and packs a punch. But, wow.
I will keep to factory ammo for a while. But, saving brass.
I hope I never Need it. However, I'm glad to have it ready.

Re: Newest rifle build
Pictures, we need pictures. Love to see your build.
I have an AR10 I need to shoot. It's an Armalite, with a Vortex Viper Scope and the 45 degree iron sights in case a boar charges.
Ammo is really hard to find right now. Hopefully it will get better.

Re: Newest rifle build
Several years ago I had a Rock River AR-10 that I played around with shooting mid-range F Class matches. We shot from 300 and 600 yards. While it (and me) couldn’t compete with the precision bolt guns on the line it did hold it’s own and at 600 when I did my part it could stay within 1.5 Moa. Of course I always sent enough “fliers” down range to affect my score.
You will enjoy that AR 10, nice to pack a punch with a good supply of ammo. Fun!
Funny, I decided to look for a picture of my AR and found this one from 2016. Notice the desktop computer and the landline phone. LOL!

My new 308. Only one glitch. Lock back on empty is failing. Other than that, I’m very happy.

Re: Newest rifle build
My first guess is it’s the magazine if it locks back manually.

Re: Newest rifle build
It doesn't. Really struggling with this. Over springed? Bad mechanism on the lock back? Not enough bolt movement? I hate mysteries when dealing with guns.

Re: Newest rifle build
Work the bolt manually in slow motion and I'd check the internal relationship of the magazine lip and the bolt catch. If that is working, lifting the bolt catch properly, check the reach of the bolt catch tab to the bolt. If that is adequate then it may be the spring is too heavy and you aren't getting enough bolt travel. If either of the first two are inadequate, easy fix. Replace the bolt catch/release. Last one, replace the spring.
Good luck, keep us posted.

Re: Newest rifle build
OR, make sure all moving components are moving free, and not dragging, and properly lubed. (Could be a bind somewhere in the cycle.)
