  1. Miltech restored it; They are sending a new spring.
  2. Yes, It was restored back to milspec.
  3. Thanks Wayne, I will post when I get my new spring and try again.
  4. Thanks metrotps, Do you think a new spring will remedy it? also the parkerization is very dark, almost black. The new stock and forend, and butt plate look good .
  5. I just got my rifle back from a complete rebuild with new barrel after a few years. Instead of case head separation, it now throws empties 20 feet(not hyperbole) I measured the spring and it shows 10.5 inches. I am at a loss and looking for the goldilocks zone for ejection. With light recoil loads, it throws them 8 feet, with full power Remington or S&B, 20 feet. I think they put my rifle back together with a 70 year old main spring. The empties also have huge ejector dents in the rim making them useless. I am going to get a new spring and try again; if similar results, i was thinking of cutting off a couple of inches of the old spring and nesting it with the new one. Maybe act as a stiff buffer at the end of bolt travel

  8. Mr. Alpert and Mr. Scott, Thank you for taking the time to respond to this matter and set the course on what it will take to bring this rifle back. I deeply appreciate the knowledge you have shared. I have to digest all of this and make a plan. I will keep the board apprised. Best, Jason
  9. I received the head space gauges today. Go, No Go, and Field. Headspace test were conducted and it failed; The bolt will lock closed on all gauges. I believe I identified the problem of the separated case heads and jamming; excessive headspace. How do I deal with this? The barrel has great rifling. Thanks
  10. Tanker, Thank you for the input on the main spring and diagnosing the brass and the chamber; really good. I will post when I check headspace. out
  11. Hello Wayne Thanks, It will throw the empties about 5 feet with the lite loads, The full power loads will be thrown less.
  12. Hello All, I am a new member and have learned quite a bit already here; thank you. I acquired a JSAR that is in good condition that has been sported. The barrel is 19 inches with a Lyman ramp sight. There are no markings on the barrel bushings. The barrel has the markings "8 (one inch of space) 8" I field stripped the rifle, cleaned and oiled it properly. I have been firing m2 ball, and various hunting loads at 150 grain or less. The rifle either fails to extract or tears the case heads off. If I oil the cases, they may eject half the time. I also have case stretching. I polished the chamber to 1000 grit and installed a new extractor and I get the same results. If I shoot "factory lite" ammo, the rifle functions most of the time. I am waiting on headspace gauges. Any advice on this problem would be highly appreciated. Thank You, Jason
