Local shop knows me as the guy to call when they get a weird old gun or a problem gun. Somebody had brought in a Palmetto state 300BO rifle. Fed fine, it was cycling. Often would not cycle, then ripped a case in half and left the rest inside the chamber to be dug out. Not going to shoot it suppressed or use subsonic ammo.
Seemed odd to me it would be sold w a 16in barrel and non adjustable pistol gas system. My bet is on to much gas supersonic. It was a trade in gun, and more than likely the previous owner had issues and just got rid of it vs fixing it.
Question was the fix. Not going to bother w subsonic, so a carbine gas system? Or just an adjustable block?
