    Bent firing pin retaining pin

    Re: Bent firing pin retaining pin I'm not sure which way the pin is bending forward or back. It's not been shot suppressed, like I said strictly 350 rds of M118LR through a Criterion 18.5" barrel. I will admit that DPMS has been very good on communicating with me on this. They offered to...

    Bent firing pin retaining pin

    Re: Bent firing pin retaining pin Unfortunately i don't have any of the fired brass. I had no malfunctions and I don't reload so I had no reason to keep it. Below is a cut & paste of my back and forth with DPMS: "User/Date Message Customer 9/10/2012 5:15:33 PM The firing pin retaining pin...

    Bent firing pin retaining pin

    Re: Bent firing pin retaining pin So I've been in touch with a DPMS rep and he also states that it's the ammo. Says the primers on M118LR are extra hard and it's causing the bent pin. My question: Isn't this the same BCG submitted for the M110 SASS trials? if so how the hell can it not be...

    Bent firing pin retaining pin

    Re: Bent firing pin retaining pin Kevin, That's possible, but I had no problems firing it. Maybe it happened during a dry fire after reassembly at some point, is that possible?. I'd be really upset with myself if that is the case as I'm pretty familiar with the SR25, MK11, M110.

    Bent firing pin retaining pin

    I have a DPMS BCG in my DPMS/IRA .308 build. I ran it through roughly 200 rds of M118LR during a range session recently. When I disassembled it yesterday to clean I had a hard time removing the firing pin retaining pin. When I did get it out I found it to be bent. Can anyone provide input or...

    Fulton Armory .308 Titan...good or bad?

    All, I'm breaking into the .308 AR field. I have an iron ridge lower. I was looking at the Fulton Armory Titan series of uppers. I like the 18" FAR 308 Liberator LTE upper. I've looked for info on this particular upper/rifle but there's not a lot out there. Does anyone have any experience...
