    Suppressors Thunder Beast 556 TAKE DOWN SUPPRESSOR experience/feedback?

    I will know more next year. I did get to fondle mine while in jail and it is well built! Heavy doesn’t bother me as it’s going on an SBR and I’m not planning on hiking long distances with it. I wish my SOT had a range so that I could shoot it now. From the videos I’ve seen and the reviews I’ve...

    Sold!!! : Bushnell LRHSi 4.5-18x44 mil/mil illuminated

    I bought this scope last year and it has been to the range once. It has been mounted in a one piece spuhr mount (not for sale) since I got it and has spent most of its time in the safe on top of my precision AR15. Comes with original box and everything inside as new. $775 shipped

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    I just sharpies up a round and chambered it. The round chambered and the bolt rotated. Pictures are acticing up so they will be attached at the end. It’s looks like the bullet is being shoved into the lands.

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    It closes on a go with a pop with my hand on the end of the bcg (extractor in ejector and spring removed). I was unable to get the stripped bolt to rotate into the locked position with my hand on a go gauge. Mag in charging handle back and release or drop the bolt with the release-neither...

    The bolt was stripped for the hand check and I reinstalled the extractor for the full bcg test.

    If it should only require light pressure I’m way past that. I’ll call Wilson in Monday and see what hey will do. I have no desire to modify the barrel, even if it will fix it.

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    Ok, with the rifle reassembled and the barrel torque I can get the bolt to lock into battery on a go gauge with a decent open hand pop to slam it all home with the upper out of the rifle. It’s a TIGHT fit and requires some work to get the bcg out of battery but it’s possible. This leaves me with...

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    I used anti seize and torqued to 40 ft/lbs. I know that I torqued and loosened more than once but can’t remember if it was twice of three times. I just reinstalled the barrel and will torque and loosen three times to see if it makes a difference.

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    Bolt would not go into full battery with either method. At first I thought that I hadn’t torqued the barrel properly. I initially used a sandwich type system to hold the upper so I bought a reaction rod type to make sure everything was secure. The barrel but was torqued and was difficult to take...

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    I tried bolt release to chamber a round and charging handle to the full rear.

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    Closes on an empty chamber but would not close on the 168gr Sierra match kings. I don’t reload currently as I only have a single stage press and I’m not that patient. I thought it was wet enough but I suppose that could have been the issue?

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    Yes, pulled it to start from scratch. I can reassemble though. I purchased this in part because of @padom’s review. I’ve had this barrel for too long to return to JSE. I tend to buy parts for projects as money allows. I can call Wilson arms on Monday and see what they say.

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    Should I reassemble the rifle and see if stripped bolt/carrier will lock up on the go gauge?

    Trouble Shooting 308 AR headspace

    I’m new to this and forgot to rotate the bolt. I went back and tried to rotate into battery by hand and neither gauge would allow for it.
