[QUOTE="iclick, post: 1632609, member: 90335"] I built a 300 WSM on a DPMS system a few years ago. I have about 700 rounds down the pipe. Chamber and bolt work were done by Mtn. Arms in Orland, Ca. The only issue I had was with gas blocks. The 1st 2 I used were basic steel adjustable blocks and the both broke in half after a few rounds. I then went to a titanium block and no issues since. Used it for an elk hunt right after completion and it took down a 6x7 at 182 yards with a DRT. I did use all premium parts to build the upper and have over 2K into it. I used a DPMS bolt and it has not failed in any way. Love the rifle and the only drawback is it weighs over 12 pounds so it isn't a mountain rifle. On a side note it has the restriction of mag length when loading. I find that the 180 and 190 grain bullets still work very well but over 200 the loss of powder space limits velocity. [/QUOTE]
