    Noveske upper to lower fit

    I would expect the complete rifles they build are water tight when it comes to fit. But... How about buying an upper and the getting a stripped lower built out. Anybody have any experience with building out a lower and mating it up to thier uppers? Fit and feel?

    12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round

    Re: 12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round UPDATE. Apparently LMT found an issue with it after test firing it. It failed to lock back a couple of times. They replaced the barrel, test fired it with a suppressor mounted and found no issues. They used an H2 buffer. For you...

    Whats the most accurate 5.56 barrel for a 18" SPR

    I've been looking at Noveske, Ranier's ultra match, BCM, and a few other 18" SPR type barrels for a build. 1/8 twist would be first choice but 1/7 would be fine also. Looking to shoot only 75bthp and 77smk or some of the Bergers in the 70s. Also looking for the best upper receiver money can...

    New stripped lower question

    Re: New stripped lower question Stag, Spikes, and Bushmaster are good. I would also look at Daniel defense. I've seen folks trying to beat DPMS pins in a good lower. I steer away from anything with DPMS on it....but that's just me.

    12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round

    Re: 12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round I also talked to Clint at heavybuffers.com and he recommended the XH buffer which is 8.5oz. with a Wolff spring to tame this thing down. All delivered for $150. I'm not ready to drop more money into this thing. One would think it should...

    12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round

    Re: 12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round I talked to Gene Swanson yesterday about the issue. I said he would work on fixing it. I don't want to bore you guys with my experiences with lmt, but I will say that it's been ridiculous trying to get stuff that works as it should from...

    12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round

    Re: 12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round Still no dice with USGI mags. If gun is clean and lubed then it won't lock back period. Once it got dirty then it was locking back about 50% of the time. It still ejects shells all over the place from 1:00 to 3:00, 3 feet to slinging them...

    12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round

    Re: 12" LMT piston issue- bolt wont lock on last round I'll try Usgi today. But the reality of it is if the thing won't work with Pmags then it ain't worth owning. I'm leaning towards the piston kit being way over gassed I know the bolt is coming all the way back because when I fire it and...

    Switched over from a 10.5" DI setup that ran flawlessly on my CQB to the 12" piston kit. It ran fine for approx. 100 rounds. Cleaned it then experiencing a failure for the bolt to lock back on the last round most of the time...but varies according to lubricationit seems. This only occurrs with...
