Just got my PSA kit yesterday. Hopefully I'll have time to get out to the shop this afternoon and put it together.RocketmanOU wrote:+1. Went with a different brand.L1A1Rocker wrote:Me too.

Agreed, if you talk about a load that blew up the thing, that's a horse of a different color.Blackwind wrote:With the lack of commercial rounds available and cost for what is.....that is an extremely poor stance to take. That marks CMMG off my list of potential uppers.
As it is, WE are getting shoddy 300 BLK uppers and these folks (CMMG isn't the only one) are just using any dodge they can to stick you with a defective product.
They'll kill the round's future if it continues.
Make 'em pay. Vote with your $. When they have no customers, they'll be forced out of the 300 BLK market.

Dude, not done the thread, but buy 2 grade 8 screws to use. Many times the torque wull shear the heads off. Spend $5 and get 2 new ones. Grade 8 . . .civilian75 wrote:This drawing certainly explains A LOT! Very much appreciated.
I wished I had taken the gas key out before I re-staked the screws. I feel very compelled to take it apart and perform this procedure, that is, unless by doing so I mess the gas key up and then it won't re-stake correctly the next time.

Re: CMMG upper issues
This is not a new issue with CMMG. Bores are often not concentric to the barrel . . . and threads are often really poor.
Now, this isn't the first time I've seen threading issues from CMMG (a friend had issues with a 5.56 upper) but that said, I've had pretty good luck with their CS. My guess is the reason they said no on the return for service was because he opened up the gas port (which I probably would *not* have done before I sent it back to them for a look over).
ADCO, at one point, simply refused to work on CMMG barrels. Ask Steve at ADCO, he'll tell you all about it.
