Re: Building a new .204 AR

So I'm checking on bullet seating depth and I think that will be the biggest issue with accuracy. Recommended cartridge length is 2.26 and the bullet sits in the lands at 2.288. I still need to check how well they fit in the magazine at 2.26 as well. We'll just have to see how it goes...

Re: Building a new .204 AR

Finished! I ended up buying a CMC trigger and lucky me it seems defective... Its a single stage trigger with 3.5 lb pull but there is a ton of creep and it seems real inconsistent. The guys over at CMC where really helpful and asked me to send it back and they'd make sure I get one that works as int...

Stonefly, when reloading for an auto loader I always use a case gauge (http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=33287/Product/Wilson-Case-Gauge) after i load the rounds i drop every cartridge into this gauge to make sure it fits. I do this for my semi auto rifle and pistols and often catch little stuff...

Re: Building a new .204 AR

It is progressing but I've had some set backs with the trigger and Barrel. The barrel should be here Wed. but now I need to find a trigger that doesn't break the bank. I also realized I don't have a .20cal case trimmer pilot so one more thing to order... I'm sure I'll have a range report some day, i...

Re: Building a new .204 AR

Hopefully my barrel will ship this week :( I ordered it last weekend and still no word. I'll get some pics up as parts come in. First time AR build so I hope it goes together smoothly. Days are going by so slow since placing orders....

Re: AR reloading problem

This only happens with reloads? It sounds like the brass isn't sized correctly, you may try to fit them into the chamber before you load them or it could be a crimp issue. I've seen the crimp bulge the brass a little. I usually run all my loads through a case gauge if I'm going to shoot semi auto. t...

Building a new .204 AR

Long time lurker... now that I have ordered my barrel I decided to become a forum member. I started a new AR project a while ago and decided to try out .204. I just finished ordering everything else I need in order to put it all together. The Build: Saber Defense lower RRA upper DPMS 24" fluted...
