Setter 0 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm having a problem with a converted .308. I've experienced the same issue with 5 different ammo types and several of the original 8 round mags and with SGM mags. The rifle is failing to eject (stovepiping) every 3-4 rounds. The bolt seems to be gouging the top round in the mag. All Dinzag parts were used for the conversion. I did fire the rifle before converting and did not experience any failures. Can anyone tell me what I might have screwed up? Or recommend someone to send it to that might get it running. I've taken it to 2 local gunsmiths and neither could/would help.

Spacehog 2,218 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Pics would help..of the casing and orientation of the stove pipe, the mag where it is gouging, the bolt face, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Setter 0 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I don't have any photos of the casings or stovepipe. It's gouged right at the neck. Typical stovepipe, case not ejected and next round jammed under it. I can take a few pics of the bolt later. Is there any "breakin" period to be expected? I only ran 40 rounds through. I got annoyed and switched to the x39. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
