Sorry you had problems... i can shoot 1 MOA with mine... after i made mod i had some feeding issues but got those resolved and am happy with the beast... this is from my last trip to the range a few weeks ago... upper right is the sighter...

just changed mine out to a geiselle ssa... 3lb 1st stage with a 1lb 2nd stage... it is a major improvement! jay

I did have to remove the right side bolt release. That went pretty well, just tap the pin out and the bolt release will twist off. The angle to get the punch in is tight so the punch is slightly offset from being vertically aligned to the pin when you are taking it out. Putting it back went...

I installed the geiselle SSA trigger this last week and everything went smoothly. Mr. Geiselle has 4 YouTube videos that I ran thru for the install of the trigger and they were very helpful. Took the beast out to the range and WOW! What an incredible difference. Smooth, light and crisp -...

zeroed at 100... I had to come up 18 moa at 750... about 135 inches... jay

have a magpul stock, a muzzle brake, and a new rail system but the barrel is stock and not floated... I have a leupold vx-6 3-18 scope.. the experience did motivate me to order a new trigger (which will be in tomorrow!) one of the things that the instructor, David Hinkell, did was to measure...

I went to a 3 day precision scoped rifle class at the Sig Sauer Academy a week ago with my M&P 10. It was the 'intro' class so we shot at 100, 200 and 300 yard (with 3 shots at 750 yards for fun!). I was shooting federal match 167 grain ammo. Happy to say the beast performed great. Was able...

fixed! ok... I tried different combination of buffers, spacers and buffer springs... and on the 3 try... voila! the beast now works perfectly with my reloads and factory ammo!!! I used a heavy buffer spring with the original s&w buffer... jay

update... well... I got the spacer from S&W... reinstalled the magpul stock and was back to the same old problems... so I sent the beast back to S&W... got it back after about 5 weeks and they had 'fixed' it by cutting the spacer in half... went out to the range today and got mixed...

have not given up yet... I did try pmags and did not get any different results... had the bolt sonic cleaned and the gas rings replaced... no different results... so I put the original stock / buffer / buffer spring back on... and running the bolt really really wet seems to have 'fixed' the...

I have the Thorax "Predator" by AlumaliteUSA web: DPMS and .308's pic:

i just ordered them... the strange thing is, until i had the muzzle break installed the DPMS mags were working fine... and given the bolt won't lock back with a single round in the mag... there may still be other problems.. btw, thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions - i have...

after realigning the gas block I am now just getting failure to feed - cases are being ejected fine but the next round is sitting in the mag waiting for me to pull the charging handle... although the final shot does not leave the bolt locked open... i did follow your suggestion checking the...

yet again... ok, back to the range this morning... gas block realigned... lubed up.. first 10 round mag of match ammo goes thru without a hitch! I am thinking: 'oh yeah, got this b..... nailed!' second thru fourth mag I am back to a bolt action... every case ejected but total failure to reload...

Thanks for the suggestion. I did have a new muzzle brake installed. The gunsmith had to remove the barrel to thread it so it is possible that the gas block was not properly aligned when he reassembled it. I have tried to realign the gas block and will get out to the range tomorrow.
