After inventorying the spare parts I only need a barrel, stock , tube, buffer and spring to build a nice rifle. I have a Wilson Combat upper, lower, rail, small parts kit, gas block, tube and trigger. I don't have, nor have I ever, a 6.8 SPC. Maybe it's time. If not I'll make 14.5" plus comp 5.56. Is 16" a good barrel for 6.8 or is 14.5 plus comp a good way to go? The barrels cost the same from Wilson (both on sale) so I'd like to order.

I do too, but the price of the 6.8 version of the rifle is a lot more. They list the same but I see a bunch of ranch 30s in 762 for just over 700 bucks new. If I could get a 6.8 for that price I'd try it.

It must have sold, I called just now.

Do you like it? it looks like a nice chambering for it but I guess it didn't sell well versus the 7.62? Do you think it was the ammo prices that scared people away?

I think the 7.62x39 version is still produced and is listed on the website. They were making a 6.8 SPC that was dropped. I could be wrong though.

Lot's of early birds today, that's great. Hey Vlad I have a 300 blackout that I like but I obviously can only shoot super sonic because NJ awesomeness. I'll look at the CMMG but it sounds like the Ranch 30 may be the way to go for me. I've been told they can pretty much swallow any surplus steel cased ammo. I've also got quite a bit of the brass laying around and 3000 30 call Hornady FMJBT 150 grains that I used for my AR308 and 300 AAC..

Lately I've come to want a 7.62x39 rifle and I'm not terribly into AKs at the moment. I like the Ruger ranch 14 I have quite a bit and thought about getting a 30 but I can't seem to find one outside of gunbroker anywhere. My other thought was a 7.62 x 39 AR. I have tons of parts laying around and would basically have to buy a barrel and boltm (a couple other small bits) to build it. It's a plinking gun only right now. Anyine have an AR chambered like this or a 30 for some thoughts? I'm open to Anyine elsess thoughts as we'll.

They'll ship for 30 bucks which is less than the gas I'd burn to get there.

Shipped it off in it's entirety to Garthwaite over the weekend. He had an opening and said he'd get back just after the new year.

I have a Grendel and 16" isn't the best barrel length for it. I am also building a 6mm with a 24" barrel for target. If you are going to do a Grendel go at least 18" to get what you need out of it.

That may be a good idea.

I have the chassis. I I think I paid 1100 for it with folding stock. It's really awesome.

Efffffing amazing! Do you mind listing out the parts that went into this beautiful creation?

I just ordered a bunch more XTP 300 gr 44 mag bullets, 200 for 87 bucks delivered. I must stop. Just FYI the bullets that I bought at Cabelas were cheaper than what I last paid at powder valley without including that I paid Powder Valley shipping.

ordered various calibers and sizes of Hornady bullets 6mm, 9mm, 45, 44. Good price with the 20 bucks off and free shipping. I may put in a second order to get another 20 bucks.

Can you post a pic?

Congrats

I don't believe you do but it adds flexibility in loading options to adjust it. I also found that springs and buffers were a bit too much for it to cycle so I used the JP one piece.

It depends in the format of the .308. There's DPMS, armalite and RRA. Most build your own are DPMS formatted and I've done two. The parts kit is different but I am using Gieselle ar15 triggers in both. PM if you'd like to discuss the two I've built.

OK--I'll give it a try.

If it were mine I'd shoot like it was meant to be when it was built. I would take great care of it of course so that it would always look good. It isn't going to last forever and unlike the Audi CPO commercial why do you care about the second owner? Get a good 686 and shoot that more but shoot that python.

I don' know what to think that's why I'm asking. If I had a pinned CTR I could adjust that with tools by removing then repinning (which may be illegal). I bought a fixed ARM stock from VLTOR because I worry to much about NJ compliance. I know that's compliant because it's fixed, completely (except cheek rest) nonadjustable. https://www.vltor.com/shop/stocks/arm-rifle-stock/ This is my last AR mod until my house is finished in Amelia Island. After that all my black rifles get moved and turn evil.

That could be interesting. I'm going to try hot water and soap and see what happens.

It does use a mil spec tube. I have it in a chassis I had made. It's light and fantastic. I certainly wouldn't get the folding one, that would be illegal for sure, but everything else requires tools to adjust.

When did you escape?
