Picked up a DPMS SASS 5.56 18" barrel for a cheap build i was putting together. After 2 months i finally got to the range only to have a hiccup after the 2nd shot, it was a failure to fully eject. After a close inspection of the cartridge i noticed what looked like faint reamer marks that were formed in the wall of the case at about mid point. I've heard stories before how a peice of metal can get caught between the cutter and the wall of the chamber and create "Groves" in the chamber wall.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. The barrel was purchased thru Midway, but i guess i'll have to deal with DPMS directly to try and resolve the problem....:(
 
Re: DPMS Chamber issues?!?!

I bought the same barrel at JSE surplus and built the rifle to go with my .308 SASS.

Mine shoots great, ejected brass looks fine also. I'd contact Midway first. I've done alot of business with them and I bet they would send you a new one.

Either way, I'd send it back.
