I am currently using the JP high pressure enhanced bolt assembly. Works great, no pierced primers
Genuine question - if you have a handguard with no top-rail, does the height matter? Mismatching heights would only cause an issue if your front & rear sight are on different planes, corect? Am I missing something?
I'm sure it does but $$$
If there is no top rail on the handguard then the front sight has to be mounted on top of the railed gas block, or it has a sight tower, no?
Only if the bore of the handguard is not centered. As in a JP style mkiii handguard. That one is a low profile only. There are probably others, just not familiar with them.
I think we're drifting the OPs thread a bit far, but if you wanted to start a new thread RE: handguard, I might have some suggestions.
Yeah. Sorry. Just wanted to put an end to this narrative. Thanks. Keep em small
Or you send it back to PSA (on their dime) for them to fix it for free. So that $800 PSA costs you....$800.
& NO RIFLE for how long?.....
It still costs nothing and how many people NEED a rifle that bad?
Really dude? Who wants to spend a grand on a NEW rifle that probably won't run just to have it tied up for weeks or months shipping back & forth for warranty SHIT? Even worse if it takes several trips to get it right
by a wide wide marginNo, but they are the leaders
spot on, for the life of me, with all we know about psa, why buy there??
Right? Especially when you can get something decent for similar $$ that fucking works out the gate-Aero or others.
Yet there is this thread about an Aero...
www.snipershide.com Oooh, one for every 1000 of PSA fuck-ups. You said yourself that only 1 of your 2 PSA's worked. That's a 50% failure rate right there.Yet there is this thread about an Aero...
.308 Extrator
Greetings All, I am experiencing an extraction issue on a .308, that I think I have narrowed down to the extractor. I am new to diagnosing problems (and building custom rifles), so forgive any ignorance on my part. The cartridge fails to eject from the breach. Everything works, cycles and...
Yet I have 6 (2 10s and 4 15s) that other than the one bolt issue have all worked just fine.No, but they are the leaders

Nice use of made up statistics pulled fresh from your ass.
aero build with unbranded bcg from moretori arms. lol guy just failed hugely
I already stated they do ok with the AR15 platform, but they suck for the most part on the large frames.
Yep, the thread got me as he said it was "a brand new Aero Precision rifle" and followed that further on with using a different BCG that I missed.
it happens, I'll admit I've it's happened to me too! lol
zombies.. maaan
That's obviously false as no company can make a profit when "most" of their product needs warranty work.
Like I said earlier, it's a crapshoot.....
Buying any gun is a crapshoot. Like I said I have had to send plenty of major manufacturers offerings back for warranty. And it seems PSA has improved things a lot in the Gen 3 guns. That Toolcraft sourced bolt could have ended up in any number of other companies rifles and it was just the luck of the draw it was in my PSA.Like I said earlier, it's a crapshoot.....
Plenty of threads on plenty of forums, including PSA's own forums
There is no such thing as a cheap buffer issue. They are a real pain in the ass. Is it possible you haven't had to chase a buffer problem? By the way, what is your time worth? Especially when you put down your hard earned cash and expect that a factory bought rifle should work properly out of the box. No exception. As a consumer, is this unreasonable? NO. I would like to see where you find PSA or Aero complete rifles for 1k. You can't. PSA hasn't had complete rifles for some time now and neither has Aero. Even when you can, they both are about 1250-1350 average cost. You could piece them together but that's more costly. I do agree with your statement about bucks up and showcase rifles. AND stickers. OK, a couple of stickers is OK. If you have to. I really do believe that anyone intending to get a large frame must be educated into what the potential pitfalls are. And the hassle of chasing an issue. I pray that manufactures come up with some sort of standards some day. If they do, I can only guess how many more large frames would be sold, knowing that standards exist and hassels have been all but eliminated. Of course a few things may happen, but certainly not the ongoing issues that many people are still going through today. Gun makers wise up. Keep em small
My time is worth every penny, and in my opinion, these rifles are also. Let me explain, a cheap buffer is a problem on these rifles because the manufacturers install cheap buffers to save money. They can be a real pain in the ass so I do agree with you, but if you are chasing a buffer problem for a very long time it may not only be a buffer problem. I understand you want your rifle to work properly every time in every situation with no exceptions but even the top brands do not fit this ideal. I have a heavy buffer, an A5 tube, and the proper spring on order to experiment with dwell time on an already properly functioning gen 3 PA10 just for shits and giggles and squeeze a little more accuracy out of her. I also love the Lockheed AC-130 gunship, but I know I would be messing around with it also if I had one, that's a nice name you got there.
Your right
It is a good name. After 22 years flying those, I grew to love and honor it. And the men and women who wrench on it, care for it, bleed on it, and operate it. By the way, it's a Talon-not a gunship. Back to the gun speak. After years of testing, I found that using an A5 length tube works well allowing me to use standard 3.25 inch carbine buffers instead of the shorty 2.5 inch ones. I changed to the Magpul ar10/308 enhanced buffer because it's the same length as the A5 but it has a better ramp at the buffer detent area. It drastically helps mitigate buffer tilt issues. Runs a bit smoother too. I've tried both and it works well for me. I use a JP high pressure/enhanced bolt set with the small firing pin. No pierced primers or FTE/FTF anymore. The barrel is a 20" Criterion match M118 type-stainless steel with a .094 gas hole. And a Superlative adjustable gas block. When you set up the gas block, get the gun running right by testing different springs and buffer weights. I settled on a Sprinco Orange spring and a 5.4 oz buffer. When I finally had it set up, putting brass at 3:30-4:30 and locking back after the last cartridge, only then did I start to adjust out the excess gas. Wasn"t much. At 100yds, I usually get .75-1.4 moa with factory ammo and .33-.44 moa with handloads (on a good day, I have old eyes). My best is a 3 shot group at .32 moa. I usually shoot 5 shot groups-keeps me honest and the BS to a minimum. 1400 rounds through it now. I still run it fairly wet and clean it after every outing. That seemed to be my ticket to a good running rifle. It works well for me, maybe not others. Oh yeah, stick to the same type/make of ammo when you test. If you dont, you may find that using different ammo will input another variable monkey wrench into the works, providing false test results. I know, I did it. It took me a while to find this one out- and a butt load of waisted ammo $$$ needlessly. This gun started out life as a DPMS Oracle LR308-low profile handguard, 16" barrel. Hopefully some of this data is beneficial. I can only hope and pray that everyone figures out their AR issues. Manufacturers need to quit soft shoeing this and get on the standardization bandwagon. Its really sad there are so many problems. After all, its a real gas shooting it. (Pun intended...) Keep em small
defintely not true, you can absolutely buy a complete aero lower and upper separately for under 1k. Aero has deals almost every weekend. I posted liinks earlier right at 1k. All you would need is to find the irons you like.
that's funny and incredibly narrow minded. have to ask based on that comment, are you insecure, small penis problems? lol I kid a little but you get my point.
Good advice here, the frustration of f-ing with one to get it running right isn't worth being cheap.
Sure there is, you buy the KAW Valley carbine buffer and spring for about $65. Or spend a bit more and get the Armalite buffer tube kit.
Yes because MOA out of a $4K rifle is just sooooo much better than MOA out of a cheap one.
I'm going to say the one that measures his pecker by how much he spends on his guns instead of how those guns perform.
Well excuse me for not knowing the cost of your rifle to the exact penny and I never said anything about your being a Knight's owner.
Sure you did...by your statement that you would never own a $1K rifle even if it was your only option. As if it was somehow beneath you.
No. That’s pretty outdated since LAR Mfg was bought by “Freedom Group” many years ago and shut down. They made 85% of AR-15 receivers at that time, including Bushmaster and DPMS. They were walking distance from one of my homes.
