Very nice <thumbsup>...I'd really like to get one myself...Being a lefty, I really like the fully ambidextrous design, and forward brass ejection...

Thanks Bro ;)

Thanks, Bro. I've been rocking this for a couple years now, and really like it. I also have my previous off duty carry for eight years, a Glock 35 with a Bladetech IWB, just in case this thing gets confiscated as evidence or anything ;)

Thanks for the heads up. The sale code is dead, but the boots are still on sale at $50.00 per pair...

Modern ArmaLite magazines are proprietary. You used to be able to buy M1A magazines cheaply, and convert them pretty easily with kits sold by ArmaLite. The "old" original waffle pattern magazines won't work in a modern ArmaLite but will work in the others; KAC, DPMS, POF, ect. If I recall, ArmaLite's motivation for running the M1A mags was their cheap availability and the fact that they got around the ten round magazine ban, by using preexisting twenty round mags. The good news if you are a capacity junky is Allied Armament has come out with the X-25 50 rnd. Drum Magazine. The bad news is that they are STUPID expensive at the moment, and they don't work for ArmaLites...Maybe their X-14 Mag can be converted to work in the ArmaLite... Drum Mag Test Video

Thanks for the welcome Folks. I'll be sure to keep you up to date on my experience with my new stick <thumbsup>

I used a Tubbs' Final Finish kit to break in a Bushmaster Varminter. I can't really comment to it's impact on accuracy, as I hadn't fired the rifle prior to using the kit. I can tell you that after using the kit, when cleaning the barrel, a tight patch ran much more smoothly through the bore, and the barrel cleaned up very easily; more like a custom barrel then a factory tube. After the process, the barrel was an honest three quarter MOA barrel with most loads, and a bit better with some. It also shot the Factory Federal 77 grn. Match loads without any issues, while many shooters were reporting pressure trouble with the load, at the time. It's possible that may have been at least partially due to the FF, as well. I've been shooting match tubes for a while and haven't really felt the need for it, but for a rifle shooting a factory tube, I would definitely consider using it again...

Glad to hear their rifle ammo is good to go. I bought a case of .40S&W for my Glock 35, and it was absolutely horrible in the Glock. Think six inch plus groups at ten yards slow fire. I ended up giving it away to some other shooters, and they reported similar experience in a few different models of pistols.

Will do <thumbsup>...

Hey Brother, Without sounding like the know it all post police, I think what you meant to post was significant loss in velocity(in the author's opinion). There was something akin to twenty or so FPS per inch chopped. It wasn't until they got down past twenty inches that the velocity loss started to increase substantially... That said, my custom quarter MOA bolt gun sports a 26" tube. Velocity is a funny thing. Atmospheric conditions play hell with it. So, I like to err on the side of extra margin of error. So if I'm shooting in some low cold location, she will still get the job done. I also live in Jersey, where suppressors are verboten. Having a 26" tube guarantees me a complete powder burn for reduced a muzzle flash and report(target indicators), since it all happens in the barrel instead of the air in front of my muzzle. Now, to be honest, shorter barrels can still reach longer distances, provided there is ample range of travel in the scope. There will be greater adjustments needed for range and wind will also have a greater impact, but it can be done. Rounds will also matter a bit more, as you'll need a round that remains stable as it transitions to subsonic, at range. Some get very erratic during the transition...I have every intention of shooting my POF 16.5" Recon at extended range. Will it do what my bolt gun does? Nah, but it should still get the job done if the loose nut behind the trigger hangs on... I hope this helps... Respectfully, Harry

My 10T was running the ArmaLite two stage match trigger. My GA Precision A4 had a Jewell in it. It was much nicer then the factory ArmaLite. I didn't have any issues with it, but others have reported it being less then ideal as a field trigger. I'm thinking strongly of sending my POF off to Williams Trigger Specialties for one of their Set Trigger options. Unset the trigger is a clean single stage four pounds, set it's in ounces...I shot a friends rifle with their trigger work in it and it was very very sweet...The price is actually a little less then some of the higher end replacement triggers, as well.

I went with the Viking Tactics padded two point sling for mine...and being a multicam whore, got it in that pattern... Viking Tactics VTAC Sling VTAC Instructional Video

Hey Folks, I just wanted to stop in and give a quick intro. My name is Harry and I've got a little experience with .308 ARs. I owned an ArmaLite AR10T about eight years ago. I shot it for a few years then moved into bolt guns. I missed the ArmaLite, so I bought an AR10A4 with a GA Precision massaged upper. Shot that for a stretch, then went back to bolt guns. Shot a few AR15s over the break, but missed the 10 pattern, so I just recently picked up a POF P308 Recon. It's at my FFL at the moment waiting to be made NJ compliant by having the stock pinned and the muzzle break silver soldered on. I can't wait to start busting caps with it... In the mean time, I've been spending way too much money on accessories for it like PMags, KAC BUIS, a Surefire M951, and I'm gonna pick up a Horus Hawk and LaRue base. I'm hoping it'll make a nice intermediate range precision piece with a little extra bite at shorter range. I came here to learn more about the .308 AR system I've been brushing up against for a bit, and hopefully have something positive to share, as well... Respectfully, Harry
