    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    I'm trying to hold off on doing too much before the function testing. I'll leave the bolt alone. I shimmed the barrel/reciever and swapped the handgaurd because .308 is pricey to shoot just for function without getting any accuracy info. I'm scrubbing the barrel to give us a clean start...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    All right I lied. Found a 12" slant cut mlok handgaurd in the parts bin from a psa pistol upper. Has .03" more clearance around the gas block so you can atleast see a gap around it now. Cut some access holes for the gas block adjustment and set screws.

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    That's the sfar I brought home a couple hours ago. You can wiggle the ejectors around in the holes. Put two half round .001" shims around the bottom of the barrel extension and still didnt meet any resistance seating the barrel but it doesn't wiggle anymore when seated. I dont know what I'm...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    No wonder they eat brass. The amount of gap is disgusting. They kinda dont look round either. Must have struggled drilling the holes in their fancy steel.

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    My first thought when people were having those nasty ejector swipes was "wonder if anyone has polished the bolt face". Picked the sfar up at lunch. When I'm putting the suppressor mount on tonight I may pull the barrel and see how the reciever fit is. It may get a shim and thermal fit.

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    I've killed my two biggest deer with light for caliber bullets in 16" 308 and 6.5's. The extra speed just seems to allow the bullets to perform better and it's plenty of power for sub 300 yard shots.

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    It's good to know that it can be made to work. I'm picking one up this week. Sold a DPMS to fund it. The first time I held one I was shocked. Hunted with 5 different iterations of LR308s for 15 years and gave up on them a couple years ago when picked up a light weight 16" bolt gun. This year...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    If you needed more room around the gas block of a SFAR, what's been a popular replacement handgaurd? I think Hopp used a MI combat version.

    Does the grip/handle that comes with this have a 1/4-20 threaded insert so it can be mounted to a tripod?

    Carbon six barrel review and issues.

    That's what my first barrel was doing. If you can, look at it with a borescope. I won't get into the whole story yet but I don't have a good feeling about the second barrel and the response I've gotten from them.

    Carbon six barrel review and issues.

    Any resolution? I'm also having issues with a c6 barrel.
