thanks! so that one clicks? Also do you have to change the gas setting for different ammo on the 308? Seems like my DPMS ar10 eats anything...As do most of my AR's

 

@wilcam47 after further research it sounds like Superlative was making those blocks for Syrac. Syrac went out of biz and now Superlative makes and sells them. I dug into it a little further and found that some people had trouble with the Syrac version but all of mine have hundreds and some with thousands of rounds through them with no issues.

 

As far as I know, yes it has a detent in it.

You don't HAVE to but if you want it to run correctly and not overheat under heavy use I personally suggest adjusting it. It's quick and easy to do. Mine came with a long Allen key that you slide down inside the rail and adjust. The felt recoil is a LOT less when it is adjusted properly also.

The main reason I have them is because I reload and also shoot suppressed a lot. It's kind of a must have to make everything run right with cans. I also use the JP silent capture springs.

 

yeah this one has a decent brake, It really doesnt kick that bad. My DPMS kinda heavy recoil even for a gas operated spring buffer. Im just curious as to why it fired the hunting ammo and not the steel cased ammo.

 

Not sure about that. Only thing I'd run steel cases through is an AK. Those things don't give very much under pressure.

 

Im just going to tell him to get an adjustable gas block. he wants it for "hunting" but its kinda a little much. I did the same mistake but it is a fun gun to shoot...just expensive

 

Yeah I try to reload to save money but it's a tedious task. I have a 300blk, a 6.8 and a wildcat (5.56x42, it's a 6.8 case with a .223 pill) so my ammo bill can get out of hand really fast. I don't shoot near as much as I used to. I mainly hunt with them now.

 

Yeah Im starting to love the .308 round, dropped an elk cow at about 200yds last week.(she did run a little 50-60yds but she still dropped within sight). Just an Ar-10 is heavy to be lugging around hunting. Unless you got a good place to sit its a bit heavy for my liking. My Mossber MVP is almost a bit heavy but its still not bad as the Ar10.

 

I have a superlative arms AGB and can confirm it clicks. Really like it and would not hesitate to recommend it to others or use it again on future builds myself.

 

They are heavy for sure. I have a REM700 .308 bull barrel that's heavy as shit. I rarely use it because all I really hunt are hogs and deer. The 6.8 is my go to. I'm in Georgia so there are not many places I need a gun that shoots over 200-300 yards. The 6.8 is flat as hell out to 200 so it takes a lot of guesswork out of longer shots.

 

everyone up here is getting into the 6.5creed craze...6.8 is basically same as 308 but less recoil?

 

I'm not trying to kill shit that weighs 1000 lbs at 1500 yards so I'll pass on the Creedmoor. Lol

Naw, it is on the 15 platform. It's a .270 bullet in a much smaller case. The military experimented with it for a while for CQB/Spec Ops and apparently determined that it was too expensive to continue from what I understand. They may still use it. There's a good Wiki read on it out there. Been a while since I've read up on it. I love the round because it's deadly for the game I hunt and shoots super flat. There's a fella out there named Harrison that owns AR15 Performance. He has perfected the barrel and other components for it. I use his bolt and barrel on mine. Jam up.

 

ah ok, .270 is my go to rifle. Ive killed a lot of stuff with that...deer,elk, bear,coyotes, turkey, ground squirrels...one grouse

 

Yeah, .270 is a beast too. Big boom stick. Deer here are 150-175lbs tops and that's considered big. It doesn't take much.

 

we are getting more longer shots here, Logging etc. sometimes you get a close shot sometimes longer. We are going to work on getting out to 500-600yds effectively. So long as I can figure out the bullet drop and holdover I should be good Ive shot decent with my .270 out to 400yds.

 

The elk I shot was 200yds came running down the draw of an 4 or 5 yr old clear cut. That was with my 308.

 

hai that’s me.

 

I use it a lot...
