Well I finally took my scratch made .308 out last weekend and tried to break her in, shes having a couple issues though.
Rough/sticky extraction. Which I'll double check the headspace on and then polish with some J-B.
The issue im most concerned with is the bolt/carriers seems to just be BARELY stripping rounds off the mag. I tried 2 pmags and two different lancer mags. All with the same issue. Im worried my lower has the mag release machined to low and the mags arent sitting high enough.
And no the upper and lower aren't matched. The upper is a Aero M5E1 with a toolcraft BCG. The lower shall remane nameless.
I know, big gamble getting 308 receivers mix matched but thats what it was.
Any advice? And does anyone have any quality .308 lowers that they could take a couple measurements from the top deck of the lower to the top & bottom of the mag release latch?
As hi-lighted in the pics.
Pref. DPMS OR AERO, but as I know these arent "mil spec" rifles any measurements are welcome.
TIA!
