I have a newer production (2024) SFAR 308 16”. I had a couple miss feeds during first 100rd break in and not one ever since. Over 500rds plus fired now mostly unsuppressed , maybe 100ish suppressed with hybrid 46. Hate seeing guys having issues with the SFAR’s I just love mine and it runs like a champ. The accuracy is good for 16” barrel I hammer steel 300 yards plus with ACOG sight with ease. On the bench 100 yards with good quality ammo 1.5” group is very do-able

I have a 20 too. It didn’t like 7.62 out of the box, but after a break in period, it’s been pretty reliable for me. I wonder if the 20 is better gassed

@markf19 That seems to be the case. I know of a couple of guys that shortened their 20s to 18, and they have been running reliably too. So maybe that could be a happy medium for those thinking of getting one.

[@gaswamper1479]

Have experience with 2 SFARs, both 16" 308. Dad picked one up last year and shot good enough I got one as well. Both guns had maybe 3-4 mals in first 100rnds but afterwards no malfunctioning in 200-300 rnds. No surplus ammo though, all either premium factory or handloads. Handloads have been max load 165gr sierra, it loves em.

[@MyMd1111]

But what good is it realy if it can't handle surplus??

[@gaswamper1479]

@MyMd1111 I don't really shoot surplus, so I guess the better question is ....what good is surplus? This isn't a run 500rnds a session gun, that's what we have 5.56, 22, 9mm and such for. You're not suppressing anymore with 30.06 and .308, this is a GP/DMR role filler and to use other than that is a waste. While I see what fancy was testing here with a 3x optic that's also a waste on a rifle such as this. The SFAR as a whole may be a junk rifle in factory configuration, I'm just saying my sample size of 2 has been great. I do think for a couple hundred bucks a rifle speed gas block would fix most problems still cheaper and lighter than the competition.

[@galamonkey]

At 3:00 that’s pretty much it. Red dot guys even are just done. You NEED magnification to even find a target. If all you shoot is known distance ranges, with either bright white paper targets or painted steel, and you know exactly where it is, in good lighting conditions, you are greatly overestimating your combat effectiveness in the real world. A guy at 100 yards just wearing khaki slacks and an olive green polo shirt will disappear if he doesn’t want to be seen. You can absolutely get HITS with irons or a red dot out to distance. A freshly painted, high contrast steel silhouette out to 300-400yds isn’t any trouble to hit with a dot or irons on a brightly lit day. But in real world conditions, you won’t even be able to find it. My eyes were opened in my first rifle match. I was the only guy shooting no magnification (just had an Aimpoint). Everyone else had LPVO or dot/magnifier. There would be a row of 8” plates on a wooden berm at 150-175yds. You needed to get one hit on each. I couldn’t tell you that there WERE even plates on the berm, much less how many. I could just aim to hit a bit above the wood where they said the plates were and send shots. Occasionally I’d get a DING! I changed my setup since then. Went with a 3x PA microprism. Much more effective.

[@gero4708]

I made a few modifications to my sfar. I have the 16" 308 version. I swapped the muzzle break for a 4 prong surefire flash hider, Radian charging handle and safety selector, geiselle buffer spring and heavier buffer weight to soak up the recoil and Magpul acs stock sling and foregrip, a Primary Arms 1-6 Nova mounted on an American Defense recon mount and a Cloud Defensive light. Several hundred rounds in this configuration with 0 issues. I'm looking at getting the forward control design rod system to clear any jams like these.

[@efwsot]

Great vid as always

[@robertholloway4179]

I wonder if your hard jam(s) were ammo related. Of course with new manufactured federal ammo case OAL should be fine. But that kind of jam is usually what we see with relaoaded ammo that has not been full length resized (or what they call pushing the shoulder back) so that the case has insufficient headspace and the bcg is actually hammering the round into the chamber which then becomes compressed and super tight. When this happens any gun will fail to eject the fired case. The shucking of the case head groove is also telltale - that and needing to hammer the action open. Just a thought.

[@xenomorphelv4265]

The stoppages are maybe because the bolt is lighter than on the regular AR308. The fact they reduced the bolt size for compactness also decreased the bolt inertia (generated force movement backward-forward). This lack of inertia is probably what cause the round to not eject or feed correctly. losing weight to the detriment of reliability is not a good deal. I would be curious to see how different the cycling would go with an heavier bolt and maybe a longer buffer tube/spring that would delay a little bit the cycling.

Was it lubricated or running dry?

[@juanthelawnmowerthief1641]

Would be curious to see how the POF Rogue handles this course. Figure the E2 extraction would help prevent stuck cases like this on the Rogue.

[@jacobmorris7695]

The Manuel of the ruger sfar says to shoot 200 rounds in gas setting three to break it in. Then switch over to gas setting 2. Also. Try a p mag nutn lol those steel mags have to be high quality to run in AR10s. I also would go with the 20 inch version. It has a rifle length has system. And still a great low weight. An hey chop it down to an 18 inch and you got your self a saper.

The curse of the AR10 persists. So many have tried to streamline/lightweight the AR 308 platform, and so many have failed. I was really hoping that a big name like Ruger would turn that tide but it isn't looking good. I think if you want to run 308 in an AR, just go with the Armalite or DPMS/SR25 platform and deal with the bulk and weight.

Pof usa did it. Mine weighs 6lbs unloaded without an optic. The bcg is the same size as a 556 bcg. Its streamlined and lightweight, and accurate as hell.

[@thomascondon9447]

Mine had the exact same problem. Ruger polished the chamber, and it has not happened since then. You should also try the gas on setting 2. The instructions tell you to use 3 for a while during break in which is the setting it comes in the box, but 2 is supposed to be the normal operating setting without a suppressor.

Yours may do one thing and someone else's acts completely different...as for me I got a complete lemon and lost alot of money on it

So, what’s your diagnose for cause of feed problem &in Ruger?

[@lawerncemiller6557]

Failure to extract because of a a stuck casing could be a tight chamber or ammo related casing that are a little bit to long in the neck

Id seriously consider re visiting the NEW daniel defense dd5v4! Its a big change over the old one. I got rid of my old one right away. The new ones are real nice!

[@RooftopCiv]

Had a 16 inch SFAR in 308 that had bought last year. Had so many FTE, sent it back to Ruger over 5 times. It failed me right before a once in a lifetime Oryx hunt. They replaced gas block, and pretty much everything. Ultimately they replaced the whole rifle. I ended up selling the new rifle like a hot potato and bought a different AR10. Maybe I was unlucky but I wasted so much time and ammo it left a sour taste. My new MCX spear and DDM5 have run hundreds of rounds each with zero malfunctions.

[@cammiekitchens5509]

@RooftopCiv Thanks for sharing. We are planning to use the SFAR on a ORYX hunt next year... Think I'll use my Trusted Bolt Action instead.

P-10F FTW!

[@heatheruntz5315]

Even in your first review of this thing, you mentioned the receivers cracking on them, so I don't get why you said you'd trust it in the first place.

[@nemisous83]

The SFAR has always had a gasing issue most people swap out the factory gas block for the riflespeed which gives you 10 setting to tune the gas to run reliably.

[@Gmny1MOA]

The bolt is not up to snuff either...too thin for the beating a 308 dishes out

[@nemisous83]

@@Gmny1MOA if you look at the lugs they are longer front to back so they can bear more pressure this is what Sig Saur and POF did with their firearms as well, so the thinner walls aren't of concern.

[@TripleSuccotash1]

I just run extra gas, rather have it cycle and have a shorter life imo. I don't put enough rounds like nutnfancy through my deer gun.
