Well, the new gun is having some problems. It's not ejecting rounds properly. All the rounds extract fully from the chamber, but about 1 out of every 5 fail to eject and end up staying in the ejection port. At first I thought maybe it was a gas system problem and I might have to enlarge the gas port, but I tested it by loading 1 round in the mag and firing. It locked the bolt back on the empty mag each time I tried that, and that's supposed to be a good indication that the gas system is ok and you're not short stroking.
The ejector seems like it has plenty of tension, so I'm actually wondering if it's a problem with the extractor. Compared to the BCM bolt in my other AR, this extractor seems like it has a lot less tension. My theory is that the extractor isn't holding on to the case rim tight enough, and it's falling off the bolt before the ejector has a chance to fling it out of the port. I just ordered an extractor spring upgrade kit from BCM, so hopefully that will take care of it.

CLEO signoff in Omaha is not a problem, no reason to set up a trust unless you have a reason.

For example, if you wanted it to be legal for both you and your spouse to possess the item(s) independently as trustees - because it wouldn't be legal for your wife to possess (e.g. take the item to the range) without you if it was in your name individually.

My wife keeps saying "I own an NFA item!" and I keep telling her, "no, the TRUST owns an NFA item."

Ok, got all the kinks worked out and it's running well now. I replaced the extractor spring with a BCM upgrade kit and that solved my ejection problems. The extractor wasn't holding tight enough to the rim for the ejector to pop it out of the port. After fixing that I started noticing problems where the bolt sometimes wouldn't strip the next round from the mag. I did some research and found out that the C-Products 6.8 mags are crap. You have to tweak the lips on them to get them to feed right. After bending the lips up it runs correctly now. I'm going to buy some quality mags and save the C-Products for range use only. Unfortunately the best 6.8 mags are from PRI and run about $40. D&H is supposed to be coming out with some in the next few weeks so I'll wait for them.
