    Under-gassed AR10

    Re: Under-gassed AR10 I drilled my 20" build to .0935" and it runs perfect with an Armilite buffer spring, tube and rifle length buffer. It came with a hole of around .080" when I got the barrel in the white. You have to use pin gauges to see where it is now and sneak up on the correct size...

    **FIXED**2nd opinion on bolt catch problem

    Re: 2nd opinion on bolt catch problem It looks off to the left to me but looks like it should still work. I would make sure it works freely and that the spring is not to tight (Could be caused by the hole not drilled deep enough if he spring is correct). Here is one I just took a pic of...

    Sig 556 SBR

    Re: Sig 556 SBR We SBR'd the same Sig Pistol for my partner by adding an AR stock. The can is really needed or it will hammer you from the blast. They are really fun.

    .308 Tactical Carbine Build

    I will see if I can get the picture to post this time. This is a AR 10 style carbine. It uses a 14.5" barrel, DPMS mags, Troy TRX Rail, PRI brake, DPMS bolt and carrier, Ballistic advantage barrel, and my prototype upper and lower. The upper has the DPMS threads and the lower uses the KAC/DPMS...

    **FIXED**2nd opinion on bolt catch problem

    Re: 2nd opinion on bolt catch problem If the bolt catch misses the follower when you have the upper off, then no amount of changing springs, buffers etc... will fix this. There are two things to check. One, make sure the mag well is centered in the lower. If it was Milled/EDM/Broached off...

    New 308 AR 10 build done, in camo

    This is my new .308 AR 10 type rifle. It is a prptotype I made of a few of my new parts. The lower will mate up to an AR 10 upper but uses DPMS style P mags. They are cheap and work great. Since an Armalite AR 10 upper needs a small mod (Milling off two small ears inside it that seat the mag) I...

    AR-10T Barrel Shortening / Threading

    Re: AR-10T Barrel Shortening / Threading You may have to enlarge the gas hole. The shorter barrel will decrease the time the gas has to pressurize the gas tube and it may fail to cycle. I have a spare 20" bbl and I just measured the gas hole to muzzle distance. It is 7 inches. If I were to...
