What action work package did you choose from Gray? I have a P30 SA/DA version. I'd like a shorter reset than it currently has.

Does seem lawful given the way the statute is written? what about fingerprints change? Didn't jersey city try a bunch of craziness that was struck down in court?

That's a really good price. I have th troys on my blackout and really like the quality.

Ok thanks, I get it. Agree with what you are saying.

They had a couple gp100s and a bunch of smiths.

I'm with Vlad. My 300 blackout is 14.5 plus comp for 16.1 with a mid length gas. I'm building two rifles completely from Wilson combat parts in 5.56 and 6.8 using Wilson 14.7 match barrels and brakes with mid gas. I prefer the mid on the slightly shorter barrels as well. I'm not sure what the hassle you are referring to is?

I have a couple of .308s and a 300. Just looking for something fun. I'm going to do a 14.7" Wilson match barrel in 5.56. All the additional parts I need are on order, hopefully have by EOW then off to backwoods coatings for some FDE. I'm waiting on a 6mm build to be completed some time late winter early spring. Just board and playing in the spare parts bin.

I'd recommend the Rainier SPR barrel or the WOA SPR barrel both chambered in .223 Wylde 18". Good experience with both and they are good prices for quality barrels.

I saw that RTSP has an M1A Socom on their website. I've always wanted one without the rail system because of the weight. I've never fired one, anyone have experience? Is it worth the dough? Thanks.

Do an SPR, that was my last build and it was great. 300 Blackout is great but the ammo is expensive and the 6.5 is great too but the ammo is even more expensive. Even if you reload, good Grendel brass is about 90 cents per piece. I'm in the process of building a 14.7" mid length gas 100% Wilson Combat parts rifle. So I'm excited to see how that turns out. My SPR is an 18" WOA SPR .223 Wylde chambered rifle. I love it.

SCAR and AR are different platforms so it matters what you want to do. The 17 is probably 1200 more than the 716. You could probably cut a deal for a 516 and a 716 for the same price or close to it. I have the SCAR 17s and it is an awesome rifle but a buddy of mine has a 716 after he sold his REPR and loves it. For under 2k I couldn't think of another quality piston AR (or a bad one for that matter) it's going to be tough to beat.

BAD ASS all the way. I use them quite a bit. There's an eBay seller who has them for a good price and free shipping.

Yes, I agree, the generic "bad" is not something I react to. Absolutely will post up the pics when it's done.

I'm assuming he his trying to warn us off Garthwaite. The colt looks smoking hot.

Loved it.

Mini 14 has 5 round factory mags.

I bought one there in FDE they changed the brake and pinned and welded it. What else would need to be done?

Very sorry to hear. I hope you and everyone else recovers well. Look forward to hearing about this beast.

How did this rifle turn out? Any update on range time, load data?

If you want it with a fire control group (trigger) I like the spikes enhanced LPK, which has a pretty good FCG. If you want to get a really quality FCG buy an LPK minus the FCG and then get the trigger separately. http://www.spikestactical.com/lower-kit-spikes-enhanced-parts-kit-p-422.html You can see there is a bit of a price jump. As far as the lower I like the spikes lowers for an inexpensive quality piece and a lot of the stores in NJ have them. If you are near remixer I believe he carries them (I'm judging based on your home range).

OK--I wasn't sure. The Stags are pretty reasonably priced, but I don't know what you budget is. Check AR15.com as well they have a ton of used ARs in the classifieds section.

I know that Stag makes a lefty AR. I saw one at Ottomanelli's a couple of weeks ago but it's gone. Call around or do a price request to see if anyone has one.

The 716 will use PMAGS and is a nice less expensive .308 AR. I don't own one but have fired it and it's quite nice. I have two DPMS formatted .308 ARs that I assembled one with a DPMS marched receiver set and BCG the other black rain Norguard. Both rifles are using rainier arms ultra match barrels and are wonderfully smooth and accurate. I also have a SCAR 17s. You are making a mistake dismissing the scar because of the NJ compliance. It is an amazingly smooth shooting gun. The felt recoil is amazingly low from a light package. I have not fired a REPR, always wanted to, but I have fired the H&K 417 civilian version (I don't remember what HK model number is for the semi-auto civilian gun). It is a true AR platform and is one of the nicest rifles I've ever fired, but like the REPR they cost more than 4k. Someone mentioned the SOCOM and they have a great reputation. If I could find the version with out the rails on the front I'd consider one. I felt the railed version was ridiculously heavy to hold for any period of time. I've never fired a PTR or FAL. However, you should reconsider the Scar. The scar magazines are proprietary but aren't hard to get anymore. A bit more expensive than metal 308 mags. Some people replace the lower for PMAG compatibility. I wouldn't bother and I bought mine two years ago when 10 round mags were nearly non existant.l You mentioned you wanted it to be a battle rifle. I don't think you could by the REPR any longer with the sub 20" barrel. I would say my DPMS rifles are to heavy for to be carried for an extended period. The HK undoubtedly is reasonable to carry. However the Scar is well balanced and light for a .308.

17L super cool. I almost bought one but the wait for permits is excruciating. I have a 34 but the 17L is bad ass.

You are correct.
