I called them and they said to: Re-torque barrel Clean barrel Try match 150 or 175 grain ammo Shoot with a mount that isn't quick detach I have done all of those and it didn't solve the problem. I will call on Monday. Quote HistoryQuoted:

This isn't rocket surgery. Tell jp you are not happy with the results. Chances are you got a Friday barrel reamer was worn who the hell knows. Rather than burning up additional ammo call them and say you want to send it in. It is highly unlikely anything aside from the barrel is causing it to preform at 4 moa. I called them and they said to: Re-torque barrel Clean barrel Try match 150 or 175 grain ammo Shoot with a mount that isn't quick detach I have done all of those and it didn't solve the problem. I will call on Monday. Most definitely. JP does good work I have a 6.5 creedmoor barrel on order from them for a maten set. If you don't get responses from them please let us know but you should always give the company a chance to make right. The problem is that many shooters who 'build' there own have almost no experience. They barely attach the barrel then shoot shit 147 through it and then can't figure out why they are chasing groups. We can only figure things out based off of what you have told us and it wouldn't make sense for you to bs us. It sounds like you have the basics of shooting down and we can hopefully rule that out. For many people I would say try for bigger group offerings. Load a 10 round mag and put out a 9 shot group. You have done the things they asked now they should take the barrel back and give it a look. |

Another option is a blank gas block if you don't want to risk adjustment screws moving on their own or anything, but it takes a while to get the right size-
I used a blank gas block on a lightweight AR that I got from this website- Baby Guvnuh and I started really small and worked my way up till I had reliable function with the weakest loads I expected to use, which on an 11.5" with lightweight parts internally worked out to .070. Although I read a 1968 US Army report which recommended 0.068 with carbine buffer and M16 carrier. That's the long way of saying that even good research won't really tell you what gas port size you will really need and it really makes huge changes in recoil. If size or cost is an issue, go with the one I suggested. Otherwise start shopping, I promise you want one. |

Practically identical barrels (Kriegers, Bartleins, etc) in the same configuration (caliber/length/weight) can take different gas ports to work.

When I built my lightweight I also built a clone for a friend who just wanted whatever I was building. His is .077" gas port in order to function correctly with everything else being exactly the same. |

Just got my maten ambi set! I have a question regarding the threads on the upper for the barrel nut. Is it normal for the threads to be "scalloped" (best way I can describe it) in front of the dust cover rod / pin? I'm guessing that it's normal in order to make installation and removal of the dust cover rod easier, but wasn't sure. Here are some pictures to show what I'm talking about.

If anyone is having or experienced sporatic ejection issues with DPMS extractors, JP has your fix. I went through 3 DPMS extractors in my JP bolt trying to fix stovepipes and weak ejection with Hornady and Winchester cases. JP's new enhanced extractor fixed all those issues. Now the rifle runs like a sewing machine with all types of brass in a nice neat pile.

I have only made it through 38 pages of the 76 at this time and can't take it any more. I have started my Mega MATEN MKM build. In doing so, I found what I think is a great price on DPMS BCG at Midway USA. I paid $168.11 for the DPMS BCG!
I hope I can help someone out as many of you have unknowingly helped me. |

Anyone ever have trouble with the safety detent not fitting? I am using the CMMG LPK and I'm not sure whether the detent or the hole is out of spec. I'm going to order a couple and see what happens.
The pin will only go partially in the hole, not enough to engage the selector so it's not doing shit. I gave it a few love taps and it forced its way down a little more but then I pulled it out not wanting to screw anything up and before I couldn't get it back out. |

No worries. And thanks for not running around screaming I was a jerk. I like to help people learn where to find answers, instead of just give it to 'em.
(for the future, in case the link goes awry, it's the Rainier gas block pinning tool/jig, which uses a #21 drill and then I hand-ream with a 2/0 taper reamer. McMaster and ebay both are great places to find the drill, reamer, and pins.) |

I'd be lyin if I said the thought didn't cross my mind
 ...still, much appreciate the additional info. I am planning on trying to drill and pin one in the near future and will probably use a drill press for the initial hole but seeing the pic you posted showing the taper reamer with the T handle, I figured you did at least the final step by hand. Seeing as it'll be my first attempt, I'll probably try doing the whole process with the drill press...or if I can convince my neighbor, with his milling setup. Thanks again.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone ever have trouble with the safety detent not fitting? I am using the CMMG LPK and I'm not sure whether the detent or the hole is out of spec. I'm going to order a couple and see what happens. The pin will only go partially in the hole, not enough to engage the selector so it's not doing shit. I gave it a few love taps and it forced its way down a little more but then I pulled it out not wanting to screw anything up and before I couldn't get it back out. Ya know....I've been thinking about this for a couple of hours and it seems to me that I had this same problem....I think that I ended up using a different detent from some small parts kits I had. The CMMG unit is a bit large....I think you could dress down the larger part of the bottom of the detent by chucking it in a drill head and taking a couple thousandths off of the diameter with a fine file. |

I was able to get it in. I ended up sanding down the pin. I ordered a couple DPMS pins anyway.
The pin was .140in not sure what size it is supposed to be. |

Since I already have an 18" MKM build, I'm thinking about making a "pistol" with the sigtac brace.
I'm thinking rifle length MKM and a 12" barrel? Anyone know who has one? |

In the link for the Rainier Arms Taper pin gas block tool, it recommends a #31 drill and in your post you say you used the #21 drill and a 2/0 taper pin reamer...was that a typo? Which would or should be used...the #21 drill or the #31 drill?
