Saint Victor AR-10 V2 Question

Alpha
I just took possession of mine and broke it down for a complete cleaning/review. It seems pretty solid visually, but haven't shot it yet. The only thing I didn't like is the firing pin retainer in the BCG that is so lose that while reassembling the rifle, it continuously fell out unless I actively held it in place while inserting the BCG or holding it at a level angle. This is VERY different to the actual cotter pin on my Colt 6960 AR-15 BCG, which requires some effort to remove and stays securely in place once inserted. I may have to order about 20 extra of these since I figure that'll be the first thing lost if I ever have to remove the BCG in the field. :cautious:

Am I the only one experiencing this, or is this by design? Also, mine appeared very slightly bent upon first inspection. Maybe it's just not bent enough. I would love to hear from other owners about their experience, or anyone from SA.

I also requested some info from SA support on how reliable this rifle is suppressed and if there were any suppressors they would or would not recommend, based upon their own test. Haven't heard back, but that is another question I have, given that this new V2 version comes without the adjustable gas block.

Any advice/experience would be appreciated.

I post this question a while back on the most recent review here, but received no response there.

The .308 saint victor runs fantastic on a suppressor. I run a silencerco omega36m. Never had an issue with with gun suppressed. Lost count of rounds but its up there with continual hard hard hard use. Nothing but good things to say on this gun . Supressed or non supressed

Have no clue on the new non adjustable gas block, but most gun run ok suppressed without one. Maybe why SA ditched it ??
