I need an AR guru it's been to two smiths and Ive scratched my head and tried everything my brain can think of.

I have a Palmetto Ar-10 that is short stroking and it's driving me nuts. I swapped barrels from the mid length factory 308 to a wilson combat 6.5 Creedmoor rifle gas length. I have a tack driving single shot semiauto. At first I ran the buffer and spring that comes with a factory PSA pa-10 lower I was worried about over gassing. Wouldn't run. Then I tried both armalite and dpms rifle length tubes, no dice. Sent off to smith # 1 he said port was too small opened it up to .095" with no adjustable gas block (wide open) problem persists. Runs semi 1out of 15 times for 2-3 rounds at this point. Swapped to a lighter buffer and spring and still no dice. Sent to smith #2 said he thought it should be over gassed he's stumped. So I'm at my witts end, and need some help. don't want to send it back to wilson as it likes the same load as bolt gun and shoots easily sub moa.

Thanks.

I built up a 16" 6.5 Creed using a Wilson barrel and my buddy built an 18" 6.5 creed using a Wilson barrel as well. Both guns have SLR gas blocks and both will not lock to the back with the gas block all the way open. They run fine suppressed. I'm guessing the port isn't big enough? We didn't drill them out. But I don't plan on shooting unsupressed....sorry...not much help. One thing in common is the Wilson barrels.

Tye, our rifles function, cycle and eject reliably..they just don’t lock back on an empty mag when running unsuppressed. I reached out to Wilson about the issue. I went back and forth with one of their techs and after realizing I’m running the exact gas block they recommend, they eventually said they thought it was the JP internals that was the problem. Wilson offered to look the rifle over and troubleshoot it if I wanted to mail it in. I declined since it works fine suppressd.

Jorge, if you haven’t already, you might try a different/adjustable gas block. The gas block you are running could be an issue. Even if you drilled out the barrel the gas block could be too constrictive. Something else to check is to make absolutely sure that the gas holes line up. If they aren’t lining up properly you can be undergassed. Basic stuff but worth mentioning.

I’m considering one of those expensive JP buffers that have the adjustable weights in an effort to “tune” the rifle. I haven’t played with mine much but my issues don’t sound as bad as yours.

I would've tried an adjustable gas block before I bought any other gas tubes or let someone drill on my barrel. If you're trying to adjust the gas flow, why not? That's why there's a market for adjustable gas blocks.

Even its twin in 308 can get finicky depending on load but it's not close to the point this 6.5cm is. That and I'm Not tackling it till this 6.5 gets running right.

Your spring & buffer are too heavy still, or the ammo you're using just isn't driving that gas system with enough oomph. What else is there??

With a rifle length gas tube you're tapping off gas as the pressure is in steep decline, compared to mid-length or carbine-length gas systems.. I'd look into getting a lighter still buffer and spring first, and then I'd be looking at ammo. I'm thinking heavy bullets, which usually go with slower burning powder---and more of it, meaning more gas produced. Pressures can hold a little higher and longer down the bore when slower burning propellants are used.

Every bit of that is pure educated guess, though. Maybe someone at AR15.com has a better answer. That's where I'd take it.

Ok, a couple of questions for you. I realize that you had a couple of smiths look at it, but I am still going to ask the basic questions.

1. Are you sure that the gas block (or gas port for that matter) is in the right location? It might make sense to measure where the gas port is and ensure that the port on the barrel and the port on the block are aligned.

2. Are you sure that you are short stroking and not so over-gassed that the bolt is slamming back and then forward so fast it doesn't pick up another round? Where is your brass ejecting at (clock position)? If you single load with a mag in, does the bolt lock back?

3. Have you tried different magazines? It could very well be a mag problem, not a gas problem.

Those are some things to look at.

Mine does this when it’s not lubed enough. I would imagine you’ve tried that, but it’s all I know of.

It's puzzling and yesterday I shot it and it was discussed that there isn't enough pressure since it's a rifle length and 18" barrel. Thing is I'm using 40gr of H4350 which isnt anemic.

1. Myself and 4 other people have spent way too much time making sure it's aligned. I am fairly certain gas holes are right over each other BUT pulled the gas block off today and i had carbon build up significantly only on one side of the gas port Not concentric. So maybe not a true circle and have a bit of gas escaping. And I did mic distance and I'm +/- .025 misaligned.

2. According to shooting buddies it's short stroking but I've wondered if it's to fast. 3 o clock but yesterday it was throwing maybe 2 feet away.

3. Yep several types of mags

I think that powder charge is definitely light. I'm using up to 3 grains more powder with 140s in my bolt rifles and up to 5 grains more with 129s, with no pressure signs.

even factory 140 hornady blk and 129 superformance won't cycle. I'll load up a ladder and see how it goes and if I can find a faster node

Did it give you the same issues with factory ammo?

I'm with Dove- 40.0gr H4350 is a pretty light load.

Hodgdon's published max is what it is. It is too light though.

Check the buttstock bolt. If it’s too long it can limit bolt travel.

When slow burning powders are loaded with excessively light charges, sufficient pressure never builds to the point of promoting the burn to achieve 100% conversion to gas. So, not only are you starting with less powder (which is intended to convert to the gas you need to cycle your action...therefore, less potential gas volume), but you are also inhibiting the conversion of that light charge to gas. Ultimately, it means that being 10% light on the charge does not equate to ending up 10% light on the volume of gas generated. When running pressures that are too low to achieve complete burn there is no linearity there.

That's a good question right there.

So, when the rifle was a .308, did everything work correctly? If you had a perfectly functional rifle, and all you did was rebarrel the upper, then that's one thing...but we don't know the history of the rifle. At least, not in this thread.

You telling me, or him?

Telling me that, is preaching to the choir. grin

Hodgdon lists 40.0 gr as max charge for a 140 gr bullet in the 6.5 Creedmoor. Everybody runs between 42.0 and 43.0. So they are too conservative.

Chad and I dug into what would be the best powder for an AR chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, back in February. H-Varget was the answer to get the best percentage of burn, so that's what my customer and I loaded with.

That was primarily for Jorge, but I suppose anyone who cares to read it may do so. grin

So, how did you and Chad make this determination?? What data and materials did you examine?

One of your favorite tools, Quick Load. He plugged in multiple powders he and I thought would be appropriate, IMR-8208, IMR-4451, H-Varget. Quick Load gave H-Varget the highest percentage of burn, as well as best velocities.
