GLFA 300 win mag

[Victor3Ranger1]

Ok I'm stoked. Who else has one? I have one on order and I hope it arrives soon. But not alot is said about it. If any one would like to share about their experiences, I would love to hear about it. The rifle is blessed with a 24" stainless barrel and comes with one five shot mag. I think this will be a great shooter. Can't wait to stretch it out.

I have wanted one for a while now

Mine has proven to be very accurate approximately 2 boxes of ammo through it and (2) 1/2 MOA groups very happy about that. I am having a feeding issue though and not sure what it is? Bolt closes across the top of the next round like either the bolt doesn't go back far enough or the magazine is too low? if I fill the mag and manually cycle it will cycle all rounds every time. I am shooting suppressed so not sure if that affects the cycling of the next round?

I am unsure if this rifle has an adjustable gas block or not on my 6.5 creedmoor ar10, optimizing the gas per your rifle seemed to fix my feeding issues as well as helping it to run good. After a while I added a recoil setup in my buffer tube such as armspec silent recoil reducer, mine is a different brand and you and the spring you could swap out different weights to optimize it further, will see if I can find the vendor.

Well mine never came around to shooting good. I know of about 4 of them now that won't shoot well enough to take into the woods. Still cool but buyer beware. A nemo arms it is not.

Do they have "proprietary" barrel extensions/fitment, to their uppers?

Or can a guy have a barrel spun up for one by someone else?

Thanks

nemo is duel fed and glfa is single fed, so extensions are different. if the extension is different dimensional wise between an ar10 and either of the nemo or glfa, i have no clue. there's a place where you can buy various extension for ar's, but unsure if it goes beyong standard ar 10's and 15's?

If I had your rifle. I would scope the bore. I have seen a lot of reviews where they are accurate. And some that say they theirs was not. The majority were on the accurate side. But because of the price of ammo. Some are trying a couple of different factory loads and weights of bullets. GLFA has a lifetime warranty. And on one of their pod casts claimed sub moa on their 300wm. If you can't get it to shoot. Send it back in. Mine has had a little help. Upgraded trigger, muzzle break, Luth MB 3 stock, POF roller cam and Tubbs Flat wire buffer spring. I clean and inspect the BCG every time after having it out.

GLFA has a lifetime warranty on their firearms! Contact them and tell them the issues you're having. They will make arrangements for you to ship it back and they will correct the problems at no cost to you.
From what I've heard they have an awesome customer service program.

Working to the bone from what I gather.

propbly wrong but since the glfa rifle is mounted with a barrel nut then a custom barrel shouldn't be too big of a problem. right?

Possibly, but check the extension and match it. There's a place that makes different extensions for different cartridges and different types of feeding (single or duel(. Don't remember the place, but I'll post it when I can. Need more info before stating what would be required

here's the place

make sure the tenon threads match the extension threads. not sure who you could get to ream gas port and headspace it?

I purchased this rifle back in March-April 2024 and am only now getting to do some range work with it. The internal upgrade I've made so far is installing a Geiselle SSA-E 2 stage trigger which I have in most of my rifles and really like them. Externally, I've changed the buttstock out for the FAB Defense RAPS, FAB Defense Gradus grip, CVLife Bipod, Accu-Shot monopod, Huxwrx Flow 762i suppressor and QD muzzle brake and Discovery Optics 5-40x56 FFP scope. The data I'm providing is based on my second trip to the range since the first trip was mainly for barrel break-in and testing scope height options. For this shooting session I chose 5 different loads to see which one this rifle likes best. For application, I'm planning on using this primarily for Elk hunting…it is heavy, but I don't mind humping the weight and reduce it in other places.

Attached are pictures of the shooting sessions and velocities were captured on a Garmin Zero C1 Pro. BTW, I don't claim to be a great shot so keep this in mind when viewing the data...and it was a relatively windy day.

• Round #1 was Federal Berger Hybrid Hunter 185 grain. 5 shot data: Min. Velocity = 2947, Avg. Velocity = 2961, Max. Velocity = 2968. Approximate grouping ~1.5-1.6 inches.
• Round #2 was Federal Terminal Ascent 200 grain. 5 shot data: Min. Velocity = 2899, Avg. Velocity = 2909, Max. Velocity = 2924. First 4 shots were all touching and looks to be ~ 1moa. The flyer was me being rushed by the range master to close out the session.
• Round #3 was Federal ELD-X 200 grain. 5 shot data: Min. Velocity = 2867, Avg. Velocity = 2886, Max. Velocity = 2907. Again, first 4 shots looked to be ~1moa and the last was me being rushed.
• Round #4 was Norma Bondstrike 180 grain. 5 shot data: Min. Velocity = 2912, Avg. Velocity = 2930, Max. Velocity = 2963. Grouping seems to be ~1.6-1.8 moa.
• Round #5 was Barnes GR LRX 190 grain. 5 shot data: Min. Velocity = 2945, Avg. Velocity = 2960, Max. Velocity = 2970. I was all over the place with this one but will spend more time with it on the next trip.

General thoughts are that if my rushed shots are eliminated from the data, Federal Terminal Ascent, ELD-X and Norma Bondstrike seemed to have done best on this trip. I'll post the next round of data in a few weeks. I did have a handful of failure-to-eject issues and will post more on that soon. Overall, I'm really enjoying this rifle and will enjoy getting it dialed in! Looking forward to interacting with everyone here!

Cheers!

Were these the 1st shots from this gun? Groups might tighten when shot more. I wouldn't mind buying 3, 4 or 5 just to have barrels in other cartridges glfa don't offer. A low dollar solution for what isn't available as a Lego. Would be sweet if there was a company that made Lego parts for lam's/la standard bolt also

I'm also hoping it will tighten with more shots. This was actually the second round of shooting as the first one consisted of ~30 shots for barrel break-in and another 20ish for range time....so around 50 shots before this day for a total round count of 70-80ish between the two outings. And, totally agree with buying more because their price is super reasonable as compared to everyone else making big-bore AR-style rifles...will probably pick up at least one more 300WM from them in the near future!

Now, if we can just convince them to produce larger capacity mags...just because. I wonder if GLFA knows how this simple upgrade would catapult them into a whole new level of competition for those of us in this market.
