Just did that upgrade to my 308 PAR and think I maybe miss a part. My kit only came with two derlin spacers. Can anyone confirm that there's supposed to be three. Two side attached to grip and one bottom?
 
Can't help you with your question, but do you mind sharing a link with some info on this upgrade? I was not aware of it.

Yes there should be 3. I had the same issue with an upgrade kit purchased from Rampart. Troy sent me the missing part.

BTW. How did you go installing the new Rod Block? I found it incredibly tight and then could not get the op-rod to fit (into the new Rod Block).
 
I haven't changed the block yet, mines already steel. I heated the block with a heat gun as the directions said and the bolts wouldn't budge. I've been working 16 plus hours right now so I haven't had a chance to mess around with it to much.
Thank you for letting me know there should be three that's what I figured. I got a hold of rampart they clam all the 308 kits only have two. I'll get a hold of Troy and see what they can do.

Can't believe that you were told the kits should only contain only two spacers. The supplied instructions clearly step through installing the bottom and two side spacers.

Before you even try to remove the original Rod Block, do a quick check to see if new RB can mate with the operating rod. I only discovered that I had a problem after installing the new RB........and subsequently had to refit the old one. Hope you have better luck.

Please let me know how you go.
 
Rampart said they checked all their 308 kits and they all only had 2, for what it's worth.
I'll play around with getting the rest upgraded this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes.
Got ahold of Troy, was told to send my address and receipt. Sounds like there going to do something.
 
I've been on top of Rampart for the 5.56 & 300 Blackout version upgrade kit. They are suppose to be getting those in stock in another 2 weeks or so
