At a loss with a new build and hoping for some help/insight with a failure to feed issue.

Weapon details:
AR-10 in .308 custom built rifle with Spikes Tactical matched receivers
16" proof research carbon fiber barrel with matching gas tube
Brownell's lightweight titanium CBG
VSeven A5 buffer tube
JP Enterprises captured spring with H2 buffer weights with A5 spacer
Spikes Tactical branded superlative arms adjustable gas block
LaRue two stage trigger
Magpul PRS Lite stock
Sil3ncerCo? 3 port muzzle brake Remaining small parts are VSeven titanium.

Description: Have gas wide open. Using 147 grain ammo (lightest load I will likely use). 9/10 times rifle cycles properly, pull trigger, goes bang. Able to manually lock bolt back.
1 in 10, fails to feed. 9/10 times fails to lock back on empty magazine. Issue is repeatable over 5 different malpul magazines. Tried swapping out from medium to light spring, peoblem continues. Ammo ejects at 3 o'clock with lightest spring, around 3:30 with medium spring. Problems occur at same frequency with both springs.

Hey guys,
I just picked up a new 14.5" pinned and welded AR upper. It showed up yesterday and I planned to throw an optic on it last night and test it out at the range today.
Out of curiosity I looked at it with my borescope before doing anything with it. I'm glad I did. I'm not sure what went wrong here but there is a protrusion at the location of the pin & weld. It's difficult to get a sense of scale or depth from the screenshot, but in the video you can see that it protrudes quite a bit, maybe 2x the height of the lands? I'm not sure what kind of issues this would cause but it can't be good for stability or accuracy.

I'm planning to contact the manufacturer and I expect them to make things right. I understand that QC issues are inevitable, so I'm not going to drag their name though the mud.

Just sharing this because I thought it was interesting and a good reinforcement for the habit of always inspecting things before you test them.

Looking to buy my first OTF knife for EDC.

The three I have been looking at are the Microtech Ultratech, the Microtech Dirac and the Benchmade Phaeton.

The Benchmade has a blade made of CPM S30V. The Microtech's blades are made of "Premium Steel".

What is premium steel?

The Microtech's are both lower priced than the Benchmade.

Which is a better buy? Which is more durable?

The bad first,
optic shows wear and ring marks on the body, which can be seen in photos.
It also has scratches on the objective lens which are hard to show in pictures. Not at all visible when looking through the scope.

I'm a novice when it comes to modern semi auto rifles. Please bear with me.

I've an old m1a that I use for hog hunting at night. It's kind of a handful to access the buttons on the digital nv scope while standing up on my feet. I imagine a modern layout with a pistol grip, a shorter overall length and perhaps slightly lower weight would help. Especially since I'm looking to get a suppressor on the rifle.

All in all I'm looking to get a new semi auto .308 (or 6,5 creedmoor - doesn't really matter) for hunting, but I'm not really finding a rifle that I feel fit my needs.

I'm in Europe, which means it's an absolute horror show to send rifles back and forth to the US for warranty repairs. The gun must run.

- warranty is no substitute for durability
- must have an 18" barrel or longer (legal)
- must be under 8,5 lbs
- must have 2 MOA accuracy with quality ammo
- must have a good solid way to mount optics, preferrably picatinny
- must be suppressor compatible
- ergonomics: must have an easy to operate safety, ambi is tolerated but not preferred.

What options do I have?

-If the SFAR would have a great reputation and track record, it would win.

-A SCAR 17s would fit the bill perfectly with a replacement 18" barrel, but the barrel alone is as much as most of the competing options.

-Most AR 308's are unknown to me. The DD5 seems great but ambi controls is really not what I'm looking for. To me those are just an extra thing to go jam up in the mud. We can get Aero precision M5E1 rifles here but I can't find the weight for the 18" listed anywhere. The more expensive AR's in 308 are generally 16" or very heavy SASS type rifles.

- I've actually warmed up to the idea of a PTR-91. Except for weight, it checks all boxes.

- I could get an M1a scout squad and trick it out with a nice pic rail mount and a schuster gas plug. But that's kind of an underwhelming option considering where I started out.

Not sure how long it’s been going but just picked up a Bravo Blem for my Tikka CTR.

Any one interested ?

Well , we lost another one .
Passed away , age 76.
No cause of death mentioned.

I’m looking to build a 6.5 creed NRL Hunter build that utilizes the large quantity of AW mags I already own from my AI AT and I’ve been looking at the Zeus QC and ARC CDG as the two main actions at the heart of this project. What would you go with? The ARC is less expensive but harder to swap barrels on while the Zeus has a similar QC feature to what I’m used to with my AI (and a lot more available prefits). Help is definitely appreciated!

My build is AR-15
Barrel 20" Krieger with matching JP bolt
Gas port size .0865
GP to muzzle 6.5"
GP to chamber 13.5"
Aero precision upper & lower
Buffer weight 3oz
Basic buffer spring
BC and charging handle are from previous built
Superlative Arms adjustable gas block

It shoots but does not lock back on the last round or load the next round.

Found GP sizes online that mine seems to be smaller.

Based on your experience, is .0865 small for what I have and is the cause of the issue?

TIA

So I went to the range today and noticed that when the image of my target was perfectly clear the reticle moved, albeit very, very slightly, when moving my head. So I settled on an out of focus image where the reticle didn't move. However I noticed that I either had an especially bad day at the range, shooting 3-4 inch groups at 100 yards from my Tikka T3x CTR with a Vortex 6-24 AMG or something about the parallax change messed me up. I ran out of ammo before I had the chance to set the image back to clear to see if that was the problem. I'm typically right around 1 inch or less groups at the same distance.

Has anyone noticed this before or have advice on this front? I've heard there were issues in the past with the AMG parallax but so far this scope has been pretty good to me but also wondering if I might have shaken something loose.

I notice this blue shit on the screws that usually come with an optic/rings/mounts etc. what is it? I get the dremel with a wire/brush attachment and clean it off.

Had a few interactions with Hornady the past two years that were very negative. Don't seem to be the company they once were. Just had another last night. My 5 boxes of overpriced .243 Win. brass had no flash holes in the primer pockets???

***SOLD FOR $5500*****shipped for you guys


Mine has a laser range finder and is NOT the lite model

This was an early (sn is 199) eye safe civilian raptar. Before the RAPTAR S came out it was just called a RAPTAR. They made them both (from my understanding) with full power IR lasers for LE and Mil and with Civilian legal IR lasers.

When they launched the S model they added the ballistic calculator.

Once the first owner had it in hand he sent it back to a Wilcox employee that updated the Firmware to unlock the full power of the laser.

That’s right. All civilian legal RAPTAR’s needed back them was a software update to make it full power.

I hear Wilcox put a stop to this employee’s actions so this can’t be done now.

Just saw this deal this morning and figured some of you could use it.
Ts customs has a sale on Prefits going right now that is pretty darn crazy. Barrels as low as 550 bucks.
