Any body have issues with premature ware for their saint victor 308 or 5.56 BCG’s? These photos are of my 308 bcg. I don’t think it should look this bad with only have 300 rounds of bras through it.

Contact Springfield and send pictures to the customer service tech you talk to, that wear/damage to the bolt lugs is the same I experienced with my Savage AR10 .308 and not normal “my opinion”
@KillerFord1977 have you experienced this with your .308 AR?
Agree call Springfield. Stuff happens in mass manufacturing and SA is very good about fixing it.

I have not seen that kind of wear on my Victor .308 BCG after having thousands of rounds thru mine.
Doesnt look like proper wear to me. I’d contact SA customer service as mentioned

Agreed. I always believed it was a timing issue. I sent my Savage back for repair and they replaced the lug in the BCG,
50 rounds later after receiving it back and it did the same thing. I traded that gun in for my M1A

The only thing the lugs on BCG come in contact with is the barrel when going into battery. The lugs on the BCG are a softer material then the barrel.
I haven't shot thousands of rounds but hundreds. Picked up so.e ammo Inc. brand ammo pretty cheap and have seen some some Victor 308s don't like it have you shot or k ow of any other people have this problem.
Has anyone had any updates on this issue? I experienced the same. In a timeline like keystone, I had a Savage doing the same and sold it due to how bad the wearing was. Savage sent it back to me without even replacing the bolt, attempting to blame me for allegedly grinding down the cam pin (who would ever do that and for what reason I have no idea).
Now I've experienced this with the Saint. Springfield reviewed my pictures and felt that it wasn't anything to be concerned about, they would still take it in for inspection. Still seems like completely unusual wear to me, and my gunsmith.
Thanks

Double-check any replacement BCG is compatible since there is no standard-spec for the AR10-type rifles since there are two main configurations of that firearm type: the DPMS LR308 and ArmaLite AR10. Plus, there are several AR10-types that deviate from those and are proprietary like the Ruger SFAR and POF Rogue.
But, your SA victor should be one of these main two types.
