    Since 07...

    I still rock these. I have never had one issue with the McFarland gas ring and I think I have them in at least 5 or 6 AR's right now.

    The only gas rings I buy individually are Colt brand, if they are out, I grab some McFarlands.

    Ordered a bunch of the Mcfarlands. Some were so oversized the bolt wouldn't go into the carrier. Chucked them and Now only go with the 3 piece set up from Bravo Company.

    Where did you get them?
    When did you get them?
    What Brand bolt/carrier did they not fit in?

    I have only gotten them from Brownells and maybe G&R (I can't remember if Grant carried them).

    If I was home I would check my spares.

    If I remember it was from Brownells about 2 years ago. Don't remember what brand of bolt I was installing them on.
    But the scary thing is when I took out my calipers and measured them they all had differant outside diameters.
    I think the manufacture was Dpms of the Mcfarlands.

    There are very few companies I trust for parts for my builds now.
    Bravo Company I can bet my life on.

    They did the same thing when I went through the class. The instructor had us bring any gun out of out vault, put one new ring in it and fired a full 210 round load on burst without an issue.
