What ended up being a problem with it, and did you go to the guy I referred you to, or did you find someone else?
I feel like there was a different 308/NIB BCG thread floating around, but I'm going to bump this instead.
Has anyone else tried out their 308 BCGs and head spacing? I'm *slowly* acquiring pieces for my 308 build, but I'm in no hurry, and I don't have a barrel picked out yet, nor gauges, so I can't check the headspace, yet.
Anyone put something together lately?
I got my BCG from Rainier Arms, and since I bought the barrel from them, they checked the headspace for me, which they said they do on every order that has a BCG & barrel. I'm glad, cause it saved me from finding a gunsmith to do it, or the expense of some gauges. I would imagine if you send them the bolt, they'd do it for you too. I know for a fact Fulton Armory will do it, but I do believe they charge you for it.
I also have one of the 762 industries BCGs and mine is pretty rough with the machining marks, and makes a distinct "zipping" sound when moving in and out of the receiver. I have some 5 micron paste and a bunch of felt wheels for my dremel to hopefully take some of that roughness out of the contact points. There was a big thread over on arf.com about it, and a couple have successfully smoothed them out.
I'll start a thread since I don't want to derail this one, but yes, I should be completing my rifle tomorrow, hopefully! Then range on Wed. for function check / sighting in scope.
I'll have to go track that thread down on arfcom about polishing the BCG
