I really do appreciate your efforts, this is such a frustrating experience for me though. I am getting sold on buying a COMPLETE rifle from companys now. Failure to Feed - I believe the issue is your BOLT and especially your Gen 1 EXTRACTOR. I am using an ARMALITE AR-10 rifle spring and .308 Rifle Buffer in a rifle length receiver extension (Magpul PRS stock). I did receive the replacement bolt, and it works BETTER, but still not 100%. I see that the EXTRACTOR (I will call it Gen 2) was improved - the initial one (Gen 1) looked POORLY, but I still think its the BOLT FACE being cut too sharply without enough BEVEL. I swapped in a higher end EXTRACTOR (such as Knights Armament Corp) which does better, but I think its the bolt face. Looking at other .308 AR bolts, they have much more of a bevel to the BOLT FACE. Why all the extra voo-doo on the extractor springs & o-rings? Here are pictures of LaRUE's OBR (7.62) BOLT: Notice anything? Nice bevel, extractor fit... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/ufqxek.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/901/zAdUcL.jpg Aim - AERO (g 1) - AERO (g 2) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/iHgV1X.jpg Again, I appreciate your efforts, but I am seriously questioning the design & machining of this BOLT.

Quoted:
Will, your concern with your original bolt was the shavings from the bolt/extractor. Did the replacement bolt correct that issue? You mention you had several "ftf". Is that failure to feed, or failure to fire? Or was it actually have FTE issues where the fired casing was not being extracted or ejected properly? Our 308 BCG ships with two extractor o-rings. Could you try removing one and see if that corrects your problems? I know you've had some correspondence with tech support but please feel free to contact me direct so we can take care of it.

I'd like to inspect and test it when it comes back. If you didn't get a return label, please let me know and I'll make sure one gets sent to you. |

If you didn't get a return label, please let me know and I'll make sure one gets sent to you. I used two different barrels, bbl 1 is a RAINIER ARMS ULTRA MATCH 18" mid length gas with ODIN adj gas block; bbl 2 is a DPMS "Hunter" 21" rifle length gas with SYRAC ORD adj gas block. I have sent the bolt back, it went out yesterday. Please pay special attention to the EXTRACTOR, that thing is UGLY. The LUG looks deformed and BENT on it. This picture shows the 7.62x51 LC09 149gr FMJ LODGED in the BOLT FACE. This is due to two factors: 1) tension & grip of the EXTRACTOR and 2) the BOLT FACE having very little bevel and therefore GRIPS & INHIBITS the round from easily seating & shaving off slivers of the rim: Gen 1 Bolt on the way back to you:

William, I hope this gets resolved for you. I have a Phosphate BCG from Aero and after reading through here I had some concerns. So I checked fit/feed with some Lake City brass. I don't have my gas tube in yet, so I haven't been able to test fire, but it cycles normal, by hand, and didn't have any issues with the rounds not seating in the bolt, etc. I've been very pleased with the fit/finish on my Aero receivers, LPK(except the mag catch, come on Aero), and receiver extension. I'm using a Mega Arms 18" barrel as well and for the investment, I'm super stoked about how the rifle has come together thus far.

Waiting over two weeks now on them, served to motivate me to FIX an off the shelf AR-15 bolt catch to WORK. Again, making the M5 WORK is doable. Frustrating DOABLE. Its just BULL-SHEISSE that AERO PRECISION PARTS DON'T WORK IN IT!!! AAAGH! THE ANGER SHARKS ARE SWIMMING IN MY HEAD!! YOUR COMPANYS PARTS ARE SUPPOSSED TO WORK WITH THE REST OF YOUR COMPANYS PARTS! THEY GOTTA WORK WITH THAT SHIT! 
Getting upset about it again, lemme go back to my calming MEGA assembly... Gooz-Fraba - GOOOZ-FRRAAA-BAAAH....

Its a GREAT barrel, I think I would prefer a RIFLE length gas system though - the difference between the 18" Middy & 21" Rifle in firing impulse is drastic! Plus (IMHO) an adjustable gas block is MANDATORY for the Mid-length & carbine gas systems, not so much for the rifle.
Even with the adj gas block dialed back, that gas has to go SOMEWHERE - which I think equates to gas port erosion at a faster rate. I can already see a bit of gas escaping marks (mostly carbon residue) from the clamp on gas block & barrel interface after 100 or so rounds. ~Will |

I ended up deciding on this Bolt Carrier Group: Next Level Armament
SAE 4140 Carrier(more often 8620) and bolt. extractor is machined from billet (check the fit and finish on that badboy), as is the gas key. shot peened and MPI. has the proper bevel/radius (proper term escaping me atm?) on the bolt face, like the LaRue... The unit they're sending me is Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coated. 
Doesn't have FA serrations, I decided i don't care. 
The folks at Next Level Armament are truly a joy to work with, Dave particularly was kind enough to correspond with me through email AFTER HOURS on a SUNDAY, and I kid you not, I had a tracking number by 6AM this morning. I tell ya, thats how you build confidence and a good business relationship. will post my hands on experience once this beauty arives. |

Yeah that does look very nice! Compared to these:
Just look at the difference in EXTRACTORS (as well as other features). You will have to let everyone know how it looks, & functions. Also: Pop out the EXTRACTOR and whats underneath as far as springs & O-rings? -- If it can be found IN STOCK: The Lewis Machine & Tool .308 BCG is the heat. (LM308D)

Quote HistoryCorrect. Will post a detailed look at this puppy once it's in my hands. The LMT Will posted looks very, very nice as well. 10/10 would run it. and LMT's reputation precedes themselves. I'm waiting for a certain barrel to come back in stock, so may be a bit before I can post a proper function report, but never the less, to be forthcoming. stay tuned. |

I am not a huge fan of Rubber City Armory BCG's. Yeah, I finally got one that worked for a .556 build, but it took sending it back two times. They did stand behind it, but I wasted about a month or two dicking with it and sending it back, only to get another defective one. Hopefully they have resolved their issues with carrier keys, etc. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Somewhat unrelated to the current discussion regarding BCG's, but what action block are y'all using to torque down the barrel nut? I've got a clamshell I've used on all of my AR builds, but need to figure out how to barrel a -10.

Quote Historythere have been a few unhappy customers........ http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_217/264311_Check_out_my_AWESOME_308_BCG___.html and some not headspacing with mega barrels. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_217/265143_AIM_308_BCG_and_Mega_Arms_308_barrel_not_headspacing_.html haven't heard any glowing reviews on them, and those were the only two threads I could see going against them. I think the one guy needs to find his xanex prescription and call his therapist, but I digress. I still think im going to give one a shot, but I bought a mega barrel so that gives me doubt. I might just buy a stripped bolt from somewhere, have it headspaced and find a carrier somewhere. |

Quote HistoryI am happy with mine so far, have about 200 rounds down the barrel with no problems. I checked the headspace when I bought it, it checked out okay with Go and No-go gauges. I had to replace the roll pin for the ejector after breaking the original one when tapping it out for the headspace check. If I am not mistaken, it required an Armalite AR-10 roll pin, not the DPMS style from Fulton Armory. I guess there are some differences. |

in THIS THREAD Aero states that their M5 receivers are made for standard AR15 grips, the APEG 7.62 definitely does not fit without modification, the larue apeg for the ar15 may work, though.
ETA: My MIAD 1.1 fits beautifully with no gap. |

I ordered my FDE M5 set from Schuyler Arms yesterday. I didn't realize till afterwards there was a gen 2 version with a tension screw and new changes so that my BCM charge handle will fit without modification. Have any of you ordered from them recently and can you verify whether or not it what they sold you was the updated version?
Thanks! |

My Aero bolt wouldn't even allow the extractor to go on the bullet with the two o-rings
I don't have any o-rings currently and it works, but not all the time Maybe my bolt is defected also? Cam pin also wore a good amount after less than 2 dozen rounds of 7.62 I might just order another bolt and use the aero BCG, hopefully another bolt doesnt cause excessive cam pin wear also edit: anyone have experience with running a different bolt in the aero BCG? Maybe nemo or JP? http://store.nemoarms.com/nib-x-308-bolt-assembly-no-carrier/ My gun also jams when I fire slowly but runs good at a high rate
