Re: Newest rifle build
Well, I think I got it. Replaced carbine buffer with rifle length. Threw in a new hold back latch to be sure. It now holds back properly, with empty mag, and manually. It also is picking up new round consistently. Weather has kept me from firing. Looking forward to some range time.
I'll let you know how it does. I really like this rifle. Boom!

Re: Newest rifle build
Went to son's last Sunday. Rifle performed flawlessly. Dang! That big boom is impressive. Next up is some gas block tuning. Cases are coming out with some flattening at the mouth. I believe it is related to an overgassing. I've studied the procedure for adjusting the pressure. Will screw down the aperture until it improves.
Hoping to shoot Sunday again. Have all the parts to assemble a target frame that will allow paper and steel targets. Getting closer to some serious shooting.

Those scary guns are the ones prime minister Castro has banned up here in Canada.

Re: Newest rifle build
Glad you solved your problem and it's working the way you want. I have a 308 in case the feral pigs work their way around to our location. They are a problem here in OK, but not in our area at the moment. 308 ammo is hard to come by and price has doubled, tripled in most shops when you can find it. I bought mine JUST for piggys.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Re: Newest rifle build
I bought about 80 rounds to get started. Avg $1.50/rnd. Then I camped on Starlines front step til they came through with brass. My LGS finally located some primers. I'll be good for a while.
