WELCOME TO THE HOMETOWN BOARDS!!!
 Glad to see you're posting actively... You'll likely find that people here are generally very friendly, and some have known one another for years and become good friends. We welcome you out to our shooting events, and hope to meet you in person sometime! You may have noticed there are likely a few 'inside jokes' floating around once in a while, but those are just kind of 'you had to be there to know it' things... It adds to a lot of the fun that all of us have together... I hope you (and your son) get to make it out to our upcoming event(s) so we can meet and enjoy shooting as a group... NICE TOYS, BTW!

Hello, AJ!
I think I bumped into Eric a few weeks ago when he was shooting with Tom at the Dakota County Gun Club in Rosemount. He was experiencing feed problems with that DPMS upper, and had to send it back to the factory. Has that problem been solved yet? DL |

We worked on it ourselves and found 1 anamoly. The end of the gas tube that goes into the bolt carrier key was very sloppy compared to a newer gas tube that was a snug fit. We used a taper punch to "bell" the end of the gas tube. At the range it fed his handloads perfectly, but still didn't feed the PMC ammo reliably. New gas tube on order and also new gas rings for the bolt. Astronaut Jones is Rick in MN |

Good call. Perhaps parts from Bushmaster are in order... |

Yup, Eric was experiencing the exact same problem at the DCGC range with PMC ammo not feeding reliably. Could the ammo possibly be at fault here? I've heard from other AR shooters that PMC ammo isn't exactly considered "premium" quality. DL |

I had the same problem with my DPMS rifle. DPMS told me it was the ammo. They said don't shoot PMC, Winchester, South African Surplus.
 I started using Militec and that problem went away. Also replaced the bolt and bolt carrier with Quality Bushmaster parts... |

We tried a new bolt in Erics gun. It didn't change anything. FYI-bolt was Oly that we tried.

Are you a member of 435?
I just got around to joining the legion, but I haven't requested a transfer yet. I was going to request 435 so I could use the restaurant and the range. |

Yes I am a member of the 435 gun club. It is the most affordable range near where I live. Never been to the restaurant. Astronaut Jones is Rick in MN |

I am a member of the Sons of the American Legion. That is one of the ways you can get a gun range membership. I used to live a few blocks from the legion post, now its a 30 minute drive to get there. I am about 15 minutes from the gun club. Rick in MN |
