[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1949986, member: 94491"] never ship a firearm without an Return authorization or confirmation--and if you read the past posts of this thread, the chamber most likely is not out of spec, its just a proprietary chamber This is unfortunate for the OP, and I am disappointed that LaRue does not make it more clear that this is not a 308w nor is it a 7.62x51 and may need custom dies for reloading --- many companies now have "proprietary" parts (including but not limited to barrels, barrel nuts, handguards, bolts, carriers, extractors, barrel extensions, etc) most of these companies do not divulge that they are not compatible with other ar-10 or lr308 style components--but we need to do our homework to realize that the "large frame" AR's do not really have a "spec" like milspec ar-15 parts I would bet that LaRue will make sure that it functions with the FGGM ammo (most likely if they accept it as a return to inspect it they will just enlarge the gas port 1 drill bit size so it functions properly)-- but I doubt they will refund the OP's $-- just my guess though. LaRue does explain that the chamber is a proprietary design, but in the manual it does cay "caliber : 7.62x51" -- but once again it doe not say the chamber is 7.62x51, it just says the "caliber" is--- so it's a bit misleading also what is interesting to me is that this proprietary chamber design was "invented" to help with extraction problems that arose from non U.S. manufactured ammunition including steel cased ammo-- yet LaRue specifically states to not use steel case ammo with this rifle "proprietary" is in some ways related to "politicians" -- just remember the phrase "read the words coming out of my mouth" if anyone wants to see the owners manual to see if they can find a "loophole" to help the OP with a reson for a refund, here is the link : [URL]https://static.larue.com/media/downloads/OBR_Manual.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
