I got a DPMS .300 WSM; it was a standard .308, i had rechambered to .300 WSM. It has a gas issue i can not get figured out, and have done just about everything i can think of to fix it. I think that if someone wanted to (and had the time and place to do it) they could probably get it worked out. From the get go, i have been able to fire any where from 1 to 5 rounds, and then i have a fail to eject (the brass does not eject completly out of the ejection port, causing the next round to not feed). At one point i ran 40 rounds thru it, with out any kind of failure (dont know why it went back to the failures, but it did) so i truly believe it can be worked out (i just dont have the time or place or patience to spend working on it anymore).
I decided to go with a standard .308; i am going to go with an 18" barrel and get a different FF tube (although i really like the SWS tube i have, it will be to long for the 18" barrel). Where is a good place to by a ready to install .308 barrel and bolt?
I guess i will see if anyone is interested in the .300 WSM barrel and bolt and the SWS FF tube, or do you think i would have better luck selling the whole upper, and just getting a new one?
Thanks,
Mack
