Ok, good thoughts. I think I'll try to get a few pics up with some measurements. The upper and lower were DPMS clones from a now defunct mnfg. I traded out the BCG with one from a .308 that runs. And your right about it locking up. I do not have the appropriate gauges to check tolerances. You do seem to be spot on with my issues. Thanks. I hope to get more info to you guys soon.I assume that you're not riding the CH, but from you're brief description, I'm not sure I would let the BCG fly home as it may lock up. As posted above, any meaningful help is going to require more detail of your build list and function test. For my quick recommendation, unless you bought your bolt and barrel/extension as a matched set, I would start by checking headspace with the stripped bolt and the appropriate gauges. You may have a Armalite AR-10 cut chamber while using a DPMS spec bolt. You may also have the wrong gas tube, it should end at the center of the cam pin cut-out.
