    Savage extraction difficulty

    I shoot a savage 12FVSS 308. Manufactured at the end of 2011. I have never had a single extraction issue. Over 240 factory federal loads and 300+ reloads using federal brass. I only bump the should .001 . Definitly check that front mount screw. I dont have any other suggestions myself but...

    Just a quick kestral 4500 question.

    Just picked up a like new used kestral 4500. Question: Is the wind speed fan supposed to sound like a kazoo?? It seems accurate from vehicle speeds but a little noise.

    BCG's from 15accessories.com

    That's about how my bolts look as well. However I removed some of the finish my self, I remove the ejector and chuck the bolt in a drill and run steel wool on the face to smooth it out a bit. I find it helps to reduce the brass collection on the bolt which is common of almost any parkerized...

    KNS anti-twist pins?

    Soft compared to hardend steel. However it is very possible to have aluminum be harder than steel. Hardness/strength/elastisity etc arer not exclusive to ferrous metals. Aluminum can be quite hard, but it becomes brittle. Steel can be dead soft, depending how it is alloyed to the point you can...

    KNS anti-twist pins?

    I do own KNS pins and I own geissele triggers so I don't even care too much except to get info out to those who ask. I don't think you are going to have any real issues either way unless you shoot way more than most shooters....... Link to Bill Geissele talking about pins. Go to...

    KNS anti-twist pins?

    Yes that is true. Gieselle triggers use a kind of inbetween sized pin. So it will fit in tight lowers but not be too sloppy in loose ones. They are also centerless ground which is very precise and much harder steel than KNS and even most mil spec pins

    The short stroke king (Please Help)

    Yes. You are correct. However the carbon trace is very defined and center over the port. I do have said gap. WOA dimples their barrels from the factory aswell so its kind of a no brainer.

    By removing it and noting the carbon trace on the barrel.

    And I will try heavier buffers when I can. Wether I get this going as is or not.. I want it shooting flat and easy.

    The short stroke king (Please Help)

    Lol that was a good one. Yes the rifle locks open on hotter loaded ammo. I'm thinking this is a PMC issue. Since posting I have ran across several references online of ARs with middy tubes or even carbine with full mass carriers not even cycling the stuff.. I was cycling it ok just not quite...

    The syrac block isnt capable of completly sealing the gas path... JP blocks come darn close to being sealed when closed. Lower functions properly. Fairly new. Seekins enhanced bolt catch. Very free pivoting. I can look into the spring more but it was the same length/diameter/number of...

    The short stroke king (Please Help)

    I am only trying to narrow down the culprit. I have removed the gas block inspected it and measured it. The gas block port is over .100 with zero leakage at the barrel. Very minimal leakage at the tube to gasblock junction. The gas tube has a port as large as the gas block. There is no...

    Under gassed guns with really heavy ejector springs will dent brass very badly as well, when the neck of the case smacks the barrel extension. This gun is doing that with the lighter loads. the XM855 comes out unscathed.

    I tried colt 20 rounders and gen 2 pmags, same function. The idea of the adjustable gasblock is I am trying to get this rifle to shoot as flat and with as little recoil as possible for 3 gun. It also has a muzzle break. My assumption is that it is under gassed. I havent tried a heavier...
