I started to collect the parts to do an AR in .308. I have a Scar 17 but not an AR in this caliber. The factory rifles are pretty expensive so I'm look informs good shooter on the cheap side. I have acquired the upper (A3 flat top with forward assist, charging handle and dust cover) and the matching lower and LPK. I went with all DPMS as the pattern is the most flexible. I am looking at a 16" rainier arms polygonal rifled barrel that I want to cut to 14.5 and I'll permanently attach a comp on it. For a comp I'm leaving towards a PWS FSC30. I'm thinking DD lite rail in 12" and an RRA operator A2 fixed stock or a magpul fixed stock if they have it in .308. I'll post up pics as I move it forward.

I've always found these guys to be patient and helpful. If you see something for an awesome price (don't use gun broker) tell them and see if they have an interest in matching it. What could it hurt?

I was there yesterday and had my brother and nephew in tow. They had a blast and I would expect my brother would be joining. I went through 100s of rounds of a new 5.56 load through my scar 16 (was phenomenally accurate) and my new Tavor. I also got to see my buddy Jimmy which is always a plus. I really love going to this place. My brother and nephew couldn't believe how professional and friendly the staff was. Of course the range is the attraction and never disappoints. Thank god I reload I'm not sure I could afford all the ammo I'm expending since this place opened. Keep it going GFH.

Mistype. I missed the 599 I got it after the price increase.

Ottomanellis has a couple black ones. I shot mine today for the first time and it is really great. You'll love it.

Check your other thread asking the question. I built a dedicated rifle on the cheap with all seekins parts from ottomanellis. Great round.

My new Spikes special 14.5" plus pinned comp.

300 blk has fast become one of my favorite caliber (if not favorite) to shoot. It's fun, flexible and can really spit out some big lead. I have a 16" AR stoner barreled upper with a .30 caliber dynacomp on it. Quiet, flat shooting and really accurate. I am using the Nikon .300BLK scope made just for 300 blackout. Do and you won't look back.

Got my hands on 4 lbs of lil gun so let the super heavy loads begin. I'm going to mess around with the 245 grain lead for Missouri bullets. I'd love to get a low super or sub sonic round out of those. I know I can't have a suppressor so I won't be able to go as low as I possibly could because of the gas release but I have an adjust able block that I may force more down on the bolt. I'll get back with the loads and results soon.

I just finished putting together a Spikes AR and it looks and feels great. I was hoping to shoot it today but didn't finish it before I left. I am sure it's going to be great. It's the 14.5" upper with the dynacomp pinned and the 12" HBAR rail. It was the complete upper that was on sale at AIM surplus for 599 and it's fantastic. I had a spikes lower, LPK, tube, medium T2 buffer and spring. I add the magpul CTR style fixed stock. I have to put a pic up in the AR pics forum. So all of it is Spikes, but had a Giesele trigger (so I used it) and a Magpul stock. This thing was dirt cheap, is super light and looks awesome.

Wow, aim surplus knows how to do shipping and handling. First it was free UPS and second I'll have it basically next day. I ordered on Friday and according to the UPS web tracking it scheduled for delivery on Monday at my house.

I have a delta elite and love the caliber.

Ordered today. It stung a bit on the finances given the time of the year but I thought it was too good to pass up. Ordered a spikes lower as well. I have a spikes enhanced LPK, tube and heavy buffer. Basically an all spikes rifle other than the stock.

Why net get a Ruger if you need semi auto? If not get a good bolt and upgrade the stock to a chassis. If you don't like tactical look at the AICS system. That will make a cool and accurate rifle. I bought an XLR chassis for my .308 bolt gun and it's like a work of art. However it may be a bit too tactical looking based on your comments. In semi auto I would definitely get a cool wooden stock mini 14, second would be polymer/ stainless one. They're really cool and not tactical looking.

I just bought a FDE Tavor yesterday. I think that's cool.

Installed rifle. I need scope mount and rings.

I believe it can be checked in to an FFL as Gunsmithing not requiring a permit. Or direct back and forth. I had to send my springfield xds in for a recall and it will be returned directly to me because the serial number didn't change. Adult signature required.

I though that you could use your standard 45 ACP dies for .460 rowland? My conversion should be here in three weeks. Aide from that I used redding died for my grendel. I found them to be quite good. I bought them because the lee dies were wrecking the brass.

I definitely will thanks. I was pretty excited to see it after a 10 week wait.

Yep, I agree

What's better than a new 1911?

Chassis was delivered yesterday and it looks awesome. I had it cerakoted OD green and it looks better than I than I expected. Now to assemble and shoot.

I crimp in a separate step. I'm stingy on the case expansion so that's when I get shaving. I feel like I expand the same or less with the Lyman dies to get good bullet seating.

I started looking at the lyman dies because I was peeling both plated and lead bullets sometimes. I felt the amount of flare was getting ridiculous. The lyman dies seem to open the mouth and not curl out the edges. Bullets seem to sit straight with no issues with less stretching of the case compared to the lee powder through dies. I'll find out on the issue of case life soon enough and report back.

I'm not sure. I haven't handled the LEM or fired it. I have the P30 SA/DA and absolutely love it. It's a .40 as well. I'm ok with the full size gun but would like to handle it first. I should check to see if GFH range has any for rent.
