TRUBL Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I suspect that you have one of the first 308's made. I had a problem with mine, which happens to be one of the first ones. The shells were just dribbling out and LOTS of jams. It seems the hole for the ejector was drilled a little too deep and they corrected that problem on the newer rifles. THe good news is, you can remove the plunger, put a correct length spacer in and then put the spring back in. I did that with mine and while I was at it, replaced the springs as well. I also purchased a new bolt assembly as well.....I believe they are like around $100 or so. And Dealer price is cheaper ofcourse. the new bolt and the one I rebuilt are about as 100% reliable as you can get. I believe if you talk with Dave up at DPMS he will give you the numbers you need to correct your problem. OH......definatly replace the extractor sring as well. Hope this helps!!!...........Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paule Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 If you are talking about broken extractors, I have seen one (last week, 2nd round fired on a new unit), and have heard of a couple others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
