Ejector swipes from my SASS?
Re: Ejector swipes from my SASS? Pepper, my SASS eats FC brass 3 meals a day, even with slow-ish GMM rounds. Any time I load by hand near the upper end of the spectrum, I pretty much hope I don't chamber brass the same way twice, just in case it decides to eat through the case head or some...- MontanaHick

Can barrel nut material affect accuracy?
Re: Can barrel nut material affect accuracy? It would take careful engineering analysis, but if the barrel nut and the barrel have two different coefficients of expansion under heat, the barrel is still sooo much larger and more resistant to outside forces than the barrel nut that unless the...- MontanaHick

Is it worth it to build a DPMS pattern AR10?
Re: Is it worth it to build a DPMS pattern AR10? I paid $2k for DPMS's SASS rifle last Friday. PRS butt fits my long neck and a large objective, rifle shoots .5MOA out of the box w/ no break-in. Why dink around or pay a lot more?- MontanaHick

7.62 AR and brass life
Re: 7.62 AR and brass life My DPMS treats the brass fine... I have to put a bag over my ejection port to keep the brass from getting more effed up than necessary as it hits the concrete floor, though. Gravity is doing more damage to it (especially the FGMM brass) than the weapon is.- MontanaHick

Uneven Bolt Wear-AR 308
Hey all- After exactly 37 rounds through my new DPMS LR-308 SASS, I'm noticing uneven (not sure if it should be called excessive or not) wear at the 12 o'clock position on the bolt at the locking lugs, when the BCG is removed from the weapon and the bolt is back in the BCG (as if in battery...- MontanaHick

You may either be or have a gunsmith willing to iron out the kinks in such an unholy marriage, but if it were...- MontanaHick

Small Base or NM size die for .308 AR
Re: Small Base or NM size die for .308 AR Benny, I hear you on the small base vs. neck size issue. Is a NM-FL die the same thing as small-base, or am I better off getting an actual small base die?
