Anyone need some Oakley stuff? SKD has some major cash back on them. Up to $600 in SKD cash if you buy like $1000 in Oakley stuff.

Not your typical .308 ammunition, but I just ordered a case because of the price. At a price of $125 for 1,000 rounds, this will work well for our needs in shooting close in and for pictures.

If that's the ammo I think it is, it was designed to be used in a HK G3 with a special bolt carrier for full function.

Mine just arrived, I'm going to hit the Stick range and will be able to give first hand feedback on a couple of different platforms. If it is a No-Go, we will all know shortly.

It will NOT cycle the FN FAL, Armalite AR10, SCAR 17, Mega Arms .308 or in one other AR/SR25 style weapon. However, it is a lot of fun to use with a bolt action .308.

Great for malfunction drills as it will feed fine, but it isn't even close to ejecting. I might play around a bit and see if I can get one of the .308s to work with it using an adjustable gas block, but honestly I think I'm in for a disappointment in getting gas guns to run. I think these will be for single round drills in the gas guns, and for use in the bolt action for the nephews using the Mauser 98 308 conversion rifle I have laying around. I'll make them low crawl and do sniper drills with open sights.

I got a chance to do a little digging. The blue ammo is designed to be used with the HK training bolt. The HK training bolt is a blow back design. I wondering if it's possible to make a blow back training bolt for the 308 AR?

I came across information stating the rim diameter of the blue ammo is slightly smaller than the standard 308 rim and there have been extraction issues using a standard 308 bolt.

I'm wondering the same thing. I have the HK, but I don't have the training bolt. I have no problems extracting it from my AR based platforms, or the SCAR, but the older Mauser 98 conversion needed to be tilted back a bit. I'm still more than happy with the purchase, and in an absolute worse case scenario, I'll use them to mix in with live rounds for training malfunctions.

If you were designing a blowback 308 bolt and ammo you might make the boltface diameter small enough so it wouldn't chamber and fire standard ammo. Because that would be bad.
