Haven't had time to try it out yet. I've been doing Chemotherapy Treatments for 2yrs and a couple of months, everything functions as should. Feeds rnds. cycling by hand and seems to eject them pretty good, I'm still debating on what scope to put on it. As soon as I get some time I'll take it out and run some down it and check function of it.
I would pay attention to your gas tube to gas key interface. At least in the past, Wilson places their rifle length gas port odd, halfway between Armalite AR-10 (15.5") and DPMS/AR-15 (15.125") length. They spec the longer gas tube, but some BCG gas keys will bottom out.
That's what happened on the first Wilson Combat Gas Tube, they gave a part number for the one that went with the Wilson Gas Block I ordered. I installed it and put the bolt in and it wouldn't mate up to the Bbl. Lugs, I scratched my head for awhile trying to figure out then noticed that the gas tube was more than half way in the cut out. The 2nd pic shows the bolt not matting up to the lugs with the Wilson Gas tube.
Pulled it out and measured it and sure enough it was long, did some research and got on line and went to White Oak and ordered two new ones, installed the White Oak Gas Tube that they recommend for that length of Bbl. and it worked the new Wilson Combat Nickel Boron Bolt that I bought with the parts made full engagement with the Bbl. 2nd pic shows full engagement of the bolt making full contact with the Bbl. Lugs
I ordered the longer gas tube from Fulton armory, WC was out of stock, and ordered the tool craft bolt so I guess it's a toss-up if I've got the right one , wilson specs the longer tube for the supersniper 20 inch barrel , but it sounds like I might need a standard length, might as well order one as they aren't that much.
No they are different. I have the 18" Super Sniper 308cal Bbl. But under their listing for the Bbl. I bought listed the Gas Block, and the Gas Tube to go with it, but I had to order a different length Gas Tube cause the one they sent me was to long and bottomed out on the Bolt Gas Key.
The damage to that gas tube may be caused by vertical misalignment with the gas key. The offset of the gas tube required for a large frame is around 0.062" greater than a AR-15 when using mil-spec 0.750" low profile gas blocks. It may not seem like much of a difference, but can affect alignment. Almost all gas tubes are bent to the AR-15 spec, including those sold for AR-10/308. There are a number of exceptions to the above statement(s).

I had one, it was my first Armalite. The first of 5 Armalites…I wished I still had it, I traded it with the idea of replacing it later. When you can find one the fetch a pretty penny. I was looking at one last week on Gunjoker and starting bid was $2200…
Hello,
Back story on mine is, originally bought mine in the early 2000's of an auction in new condition, kept it about 10 years, occasionally took to the range but not much. Along came a Smith Wesson Mountain Gun model 625 in 45 Long Colt. The guy that had it would not sell but only trade for my AR-10A2, So I regretfully traded and was sick over it a minute after the deal was done, but I had to have that Smith. Well it so happed that my local gun shop called me about a year later to tell me they just took my AR-10 it on trade and was giving me first chance at it. Needless to say I got it back and it will never again leave my safe. Best part of the whole story is when I bought it back I paid less then half of my original purchase price.

18" Criterion stainless 6.5 CM barrel in a SMF tactical upper receiver, URX4 handguard, Larue MBT-2s. Weight is 9.5 lbs but another 10 oz or so can be shaved with a lighter stock. I shot some 105 grains through it the other day and it was a blast. Very soft shooting, feels almost like an AR15.

Nice. Match or "Ultra Match" barrel? And how does it shoot?
it is the Match Barrel. with 103 ELDX factory loads its right at 1.5 for 5 at 200y. I have some hand loaded 75g Max's & they shoot just a tic under 1.5, but in the 3450 fps range. I can't complain with either load for deer or predators.
My first full .308 build.
- Aero Precision Builders kit w/ matching Magpul stock/grip
- Aero BCG, gas tube & adjustable gas block
- Faxon Duty Series 18", Big Gunner, .308
- Larue Trigger
- VG6 Gamma muzzle brake
- Primary Arms SLx 4-16x44 FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated ACSS HUD DMR Reticle - Magpul bipod
- NY compliant mag lock (replaced pictured mag w/ 10 rnd)
Grouping at 100yds shown from initial zero
First time out it shot flawless and cycled great.
Recently took it to the range and had a bunch of FTF/failed cycles, don't think the bolt was going far enough back to pick up the next round - unfortunately i didn't bring the long Allen key to the range, going to go back again and run it wide open, see if that solves the issue. -
Edit: just was doing some digging on these forums and one issue I have is the charging handle runs into the cheek riser - apparently this happens if you use a Magpul PRS intended for a Ar15 with an AR10 platform.
Also read about an issue with the stock screw being too long (from a post from 2011, any idea if this issue was resolved?)

If you still have problems after you adjust the AGB, it might be best to start a new thread. Until then, check into your gas tube length and action system.

Well I got the itch for another large frame AR, I've been putting this Zev together for awhile and in the mean time came across this sweet LMT for sale. I just had to have both. I was going to make the Zev a .308 and have the barrel dimple fluted by Marvin Pitts. While I was waiting to receive that barrel from Marvin, I bought the LMT .308. So I decided to put this Criterion 16 inch 6.5 Creedmoor barrel in the Zev and use the dimpled .308 barrel for the LMT and get rid of the factory LMT barrel. Just waiting to get the dimple barrel back from D. Wilson. I can't wait to have them both finished and head to the range.
The Zev build is cerakote H-250 to match the B5 Coyote brown.

Receiver: ZEV LFAR lego set
Barrel: Shilen 20” barrel 1:9 twist
Bolt and Carrier: Shilen matching High pressure bolt, Lantac Enhanced carrier
Gas block: handmade adjustable gas block I did at work
Handguard: SLR rifleworks quad rail for that sexy M110 vibe
Trigger and controls: Geissele SSA-X trigger, Geissele controls and Radian Charging handle, Geissele Single side 90* selector.
Grips: Running between a local shops 90* grip and some random sand impregnated grip I got for cheap.
Glass and Mount(s): Kahles 624I and ADM 0moa mount, 45* warne topped with an ElCheapo Holosun I had left over from an SBR build. Considering an Acro or RMR piggy backed in ADMs M-Brace mount. Griffin Armament rear peep battle sight and Midwest HK fixed front.
Leg Spreaders: GG&G bipod from years ago.
Muzzle: Made in ID can I made for my 300RUM/30-378wthby before the barrels got torched. Looking into Allen Engineering M5-.30 with SPR mount or an AB Raptor 10 stack.
Figured it’d be a cool match to my dads Knights SR25 from the early 00’s.
