[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1564620, member: 33046"] This is fact...……. if your primers are backing out of the cases, you have a head space problem. No two ways about it. A good gunsmith could set that barrel back some and help with that, but not fix the brass problems. The REAL fix, is the AGS Gen2 breech plug. I'm very well aware of how these rifles operate. I'm friends with the owner of UF Inc, who invented the system. Remington purchased the rights to the ignition system from Ken. There is a way to keep the OEM breech plug, but it takes more **** work than any man, or woman, should ever have to involve themselves with. If you were to find the thinnest head on a piece of brass, you can have your head space set to that specific piece of brass. [U]This becomes your pilot[/U]. However...…… any other brass with a thicker head will not allow you to close the bolt. So here's where all the work comes in.... you have to trim every brass case to the exact same length. Once the cases are trimmed, including your pilot case, you have to use a reamer for the inside of the case on the primer flash hole. You set the depth [U]using the depth of the pilot case[/U]. Then ……. every case...… has to be reamed by hand. I went through that with about 1,200 pieces of brass one winter. That was enough of that BS. It will allow you to reuse your brass cases a couple times more, but its just not worth all the work getting it right. Your Remington brass, as I stated can vary up to .020" in head thickness. That is a LOT! I was lucky using Starline brass, as it only varies .005". AGS Gen2 breech plug all the way and all problems solved. [/QUOTE]
