SALE PENDING
Inherited this piece. Nice to display. Looking for $100 OBO. Can meet between Bloomington and Indy.
Would consider this as part of a trade for a .22 bolt action rifle such as a Ruger American.
Beautiful Barrel: Ballistic Advantage 16" 300 Blackout Modern Series Barrel - Pistol Gas
Barrel has been through the Ballistic Advantage break-in procedure (Ballistic Advantage Barrel Break in Procedure | AR Blog) plus one box of ammo. That’s it.
Will include the A2 flash suppressor and the...
Just a quick update: the issue I had on a 556 was mag related. I had a similar issue on a new 300blk, but it's now solved. After running 30 rounds through it slowly over the last two trips to the range, I had many failure to feed issues. I believe it was tied to subsonic ammo and a new buffer...
Upon further inspection, the gas block was both a millimeter from the barrel stop and slightly offset. I've readjusted it. What are the odds this was the cause of the problem?
The easiest answer is to be critical and condescending. I appreciate so many of you that weren't that way and actually friend to help me fugure this out. This is my first build, and I figured the most likely problem here is with my craftsmanship--regardless of how slowly I worked and how many...
Thanks for all of the input. The BA barrel came pre-drilled. I have the highest confidence in their quality. I installed the gas block myself. There is no resistance as I slide in the bolt. The ammo was wolf gold 55 grain .223. The bolt does lock back after I fire the final round in a mag...
Ballistic Advantage and Aero Precision (nickel boron).
i talked with someone today who asked how many rounds had been through it. The answer is only about 20 (I've only been through the recommended process for breaking in a barrel from BA). He suggested to take my time working through 100...
Thanks for the help.
Here's a little more info. I have good, new p mags. The problem was reduced with a generous amount of lubrication--but not completely solved. Maybe more would help? Do you ever need to lube the buffer or the mag?
I was pretty pumped to break in a new AR, but had one issue you all would probably know all about. Everything works great, except it's not always picking the new round cleanly from the mag. On occasion, the top of the round only barely gets to the barrel, and the BCG dents the side of the...
