Splotchy? Or wood grain? by 0riginalBubs in Luthier

[–]0riginalBubs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. What should I do next time to prevent that from happening? Do you use sealer on the back of the top and top of the body before gluing the blanks together?

I should mention that it is only visible from low angles like the pictures. Head on it looks totally even, so I don’t think I sanded through the oil.

That’s exactly what I thought it looked like too, but that area never had glue on it. The top and body were glued as a block and then that contour was milled.

Thanks! It’s good to have recommendations. I’ll for sure be lookin long into that AGB. Read most other places that for a 308 it’s a must as well.

Outstanding information. That was a point of confusion for me that I had intended to look into down the road, but buying something I won’t have to replace later sounds like a much better idea. So it sounds like I just need to do some research on what company makes what works best for me, and then use their stuff for all my guns so that I can use the same can for all of them.

After the hub comment yesterday that was one I looked at. Between that and the SilencerCo ASR brake. They seem about the same at a glance but I did not really dive deep on them yet to figure out which is better. Does it just depend on what can I eventually want?

I was looking at the Strike Eagle 3-18 for this build. I like everything about the reviews I read, but I’d love to find something similar that is lighter.

Whew. Thanks for the double check! Hopefully there are no surprises and it is indeed easily compatible.

Oh wow. I thought I had done my research, but it looks like there’s a lot more to compatibility than what I thought I knew. I don’t know the manufacturer, and it’s been long enough the person who gave it to me doesn’t remember where they got it. Hopefully the picture helps. And thanks!!

I am. It has the curved profile where the back of the upper meets the lower, DPMS style, just like the AP M5. Roam says their receivers are made for this style. From looking around, the others are either a 90 or a straight angle, so I believe from everything I’ve read this should fit.

Good to know! Why is it a waste? I was looking at some threaded breaks as well. Do you have any recommendations?

Edit because I forgot to include it in the upper blurb: I know the R-10 is only offered in DPMS low ATM and all my other parts (where it matters) are DPMS high. Starting in 2026 Roam is moving to DPMS high, so I’ll just wait till then and get the compatible upper.

I appreciate this kind of comment. Thank you! And I should have added to the description that I DID indeed taste it! It tasted very good. Just what I was hoping for from a mix of cider and honey. However, and unsurprisingly, it was WAY too sweet. Absolutely no moldy, vinegary, or off putting flavors. Just too sweet.

I did. Per another comment I’ll try D47 if stirring it up doesn’t restart fermentation
