The 936 SLR Sentry will fit under their hands guards. And they have some 15, and i think a16" as well for the 308. Very nice stuff, and matches the MaTen very clean. They're very nice. |

I figured I'd give it one last try at the range with a new buffer and spring.
I also bought a box of FGMM 168's just to ensure it wasn't an error in handloading steps. 
The bolt would not close all the way (again after passing a GO and not closing on a NO-GO both from Forster) and after 20 minutes mortaring, the MEGA "super-awesome billet" charging handle is now bent (a few whacks with a hammer got it moving freely in the channel at least) and the bolt is completely stuck. Oh and the cleaning rod I attempted to use from the other end is also stuck. (that's also not a gouge on the bolt carrier in the second photo; it's just a piece of lint that i already blew off) naturally I expect everyone (mega, aim, rainier, federal) to blame everyone else when I contact them with the photos on Monday. it's the american way. make shit, market the fuck out of it on arfcom so everyone claims it's the best, and blame the customer when it goes to shit. |

I would agree there's something extremely wrong with it, if it won't even chamber that ammo. I wish I could get my hands on it, and see what's up. |

Yes, really. I'm so fucking done with this thing. Either AIM's BCG is total shit, Rainier's barrel is total shit (considering the pounding I gave the cleaning rod, it probably is now lol), and/or Mega's receivers are shit. I know their charging handle is complete shit, but that's beside the point.
ETA: On second thought, everything but the barrel will be available for purchase. I'm getting ready to set that up in my chopsaw and cut it near the chamber end so i can get this fucking thing apart. |

You might do your blood pressure a favor and just chalk it up to bad luck, a bad combo, or maybe you did something wrong and just don't know it. None of those brands are shit, and to blame the world will only keep you angry. You could have parted it out a few days ago and probably gotten most of your money back. Your anger and frustration pretty much assures that you've got 10 pounds of scrap metal now. Good folks here could have helped you. Cut yourself some slack and take the lessons learned. -Stooxie |

you've got 10 pounds of scrap metal now. Howso? The receivers and handguard are shit because the BCG/round are stuck in the barrel? How does that turn the receivers into scrap metal? Good folks here could have helped you. I originally attempted to get help, and there was much lol'ing and responses that I should have just bought a larue. So if those are the "good people" who were trying to help, they can shove it up their ass. If you're speaking to the people who instantly said I had to have done something wrong, yeah. Totally helpful thing to say, especially while refusing to elaborate as to WHAT. But it must OBVIOUSLY be my fault if the rifle passes a GO gauge, doesn't pass a NO-GO gauge, but then still refuses to chamber factory "match" ammo alleged to be high quality. Cut yourself some slack and take the lessons learned. Oh, don't worry, I'm still taking the lessons learned. They just might not make a lot of folks happy for me to repeat them, so I won't. 
None of that is aimed at you or zia, merely responses to what you were saying.

I had a rainier barrel ultra match that 2 bolts wouldn't close on. One being the AIM NiB. I was told by someone from Rainier Arms that I got the wrong barrel extension. Someone else told me to "just shoot it" after I told them the bolt wouldn't close. Umm, no... I ended up sending the barrel back and they called me saying I did get the correct barrel. I had to explain to them again that 2 different bolts didn't close on it. Their customer service is decent as i got my money back, but i will probably never order another barrel from them.
I ended up going with a JP match barrel/bolt combo. I just finished building it a few days ago and function checks perfectly.

New as a user but not new to the site... This thread itself has been my go to over the last 10months... A little back ground...

Most of my shooting background is with custom rifles and competitor archery in the past... That being said I felt like there had to something out there that was of better quality... Thus the build began... It's been more of a behind the scenes project buying this and that here and there... But I recently sold the 308 and bought a DD M7... And began shooting more and more, now my project has become my obsession... My parts list: Mega Reciever set MagPul PRS Jp LMOS Jp Silent Capture spring Troy Ambi mag release with Seekins button Seekins Tactical bolt Release Geissele SAA-E Ergo grip BAD ASS CASS-SA 26" Kreiger 6.5 Creedmoor Bull threaded by Ross Schuler SLR Sentry 9 Melonite .936 clamp on The only peice of the puzzle missing is the handguard... This is where I need help... I know I want a 15" er, to cover up the GB but can't for the life of me find one with a large enough ID to fit an adjustable .936 under... From my research, Google experts I found that I need somewhere in the range of a 1.875 ID to be safe.... I've personal contacted JP, JD, and even Unique for a custom but as far have only found one that will work ... AP customs handguards have a 1.93 ID... Are there any others that are possibly off the grid that I might look into... Thanx in advance Shad Ok brother I was in the same boat so I will try to help you out if you haven't already bought some stuff. I hate the lancer rail. I spent way too much on it and then sold it almost right away. It is huge and carbon fiber the mounting options on it are very very weak. I went with an SLR option instead. I believe the SLR requires a SET version of the SLR9 and doesn't like the clamp. You can call doug at slr and find out if that is still true but Im pretty sure it is. 
mega with slr and kreiger 22 barrel on it. I think the lancer was an over priced pile of junk. Here is the same basic rifle when it was dressed with the lancer rail if they were pushing out the new full top rail versions I might feel different about it but the full carbon ones suck.

Mr. Ferret,
I think you got several lemon parts that just don't get along. I know these rifles can go together and run great and other than the AIM BCG I would trust all the components you chose. Do you still have the rifle? If so shoot me an IM, I had to do some troubleshooting when I first got mine together and ended up with a decent understanding of what to look for with certain problems. First thing I would do is exchange the BCG. I don't trust one unless I n ow where it came from. AIM is getting them cheap. |

Yes, really. I'm so fucking done with this thing. Either AIM's BCG is total shit, Rainier's barrel is total shit (considering the pounding I gave the cleaning rod, it probably is now lol), and/or Mega's receivers are shit. I know their charging handle is complete shit, but that's beside the point. ETA: On second thought, everything but the barrel will be available for purchase. I'm getting ready to set that up in my chopsaw and cut it near the chamber end so i can get this fucking thing apart. what do serrations for a forward assist have to do with the cam pin rotating because the firing pin broke? and how do forward assist serrations equate to a BCG being shitty? And dont PM me nasty shit when I did nothing to instigate you. 1. I didn't PM you "nasty shit". 2. I merely informed you I was still awaiting an explanation on what about forward assist serrations makes a BCG not a "high quality ingredient". The insinuation with which your statement was extremely thick was that unless someone spends $500 on a JP BCG, they're using sub-standard parts.

Another strong 2nd vote for the SLR rail. I put a Solo on my 12.5" and it convinced me that I needed one for my 18" was well. Nick....What color/finish is your build. It looks badass brother. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Ok brother I was in the same boat so I will try to help you out if you haven't already bought some stuff. I hate the lancer rail. I spent way too much on it and then sold it almost right away. It is huge and carbon fiber the mounting options on it are very very weak. I went with an SLR option instead. I believe the SLR requires a SET version of the SLR9 and doesn't like the clamp. You can call doug at slr and find out if that is still true but Im pretty sure it is. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/user/nickforney/media/IMG_8139.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj228/nickforney/IMG_8139.jpg</a> mega with slr and kreiger 22 barrel on it. I think the lancer was an over priced pile of junk. Here is the same basic rifle when it was dressed with the lancer rail if they were pushing out the new full top rail versions I might feel different about it but the full carbon ones suck. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/user/nickforney/media/IMG_7974.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj228/nickforney/IMG_7974.jpg</a> Another strong 2nd vote for the SLR rail.

Its cerakote and it is just the color the company I like mixes for magpul fde. I really like dealing with a top notch company for coating stuff like that because they have the mix down. When I changed out front ends out I called him and he told me to send the rail right on out and it color matched very nicely. If you aren't up on that coating even the stock colors right from nic will look slightly different if you don't mix the same way. This is a custom color he does and it matches great. |

My brother has a coating business so I know what the shitty ones look like and I know how amateurs try to pimp it as the same product at a cheaper cost while having inconsistencies in the color or thickness of spray. I have had zero issues with CCA for this so I am more than happy to hand my guns off. |

Michael's the friggin man. Plus he ain't askeered to get cold and wet to help Big R.... |

A Mega Maten is sitting in the water forming a reef while I'm sitting here, a broke ass student paying my way through college trying to save enough to build my own project gun.
Dammit!

Oh I gotcha Thinking about getting the SLR 15" m-lok solo in FDE and am hoping it approximates it or at least gets close to the magpul furniture going on it. Now, if they would only get those rails back in stock
When I started this build I thought it was gonna take a while due to money and the fact that 308 stuff is generally more expensive, but now I realize its going to take a while due to the fact that no one has what I want in stock when I am ready to order. |
