Yep , but in the end it will be worth it , all top end parts to go with the top end Receiver , at least thats the way I look at it . Someone will be a happy camper when I die ?

The price wasn't so sweet , anyone complaining about a 308AR price needs to price one of these . I can build or buy a complete 308AR for what I paid for just the Receiver.

Now that , would probably scare her .?

I picked up my GWLA M14 Receiver today for my M14 build , cant wait , all AR building & repairing have been put on the back burner , well except for some work on my SOCOM , that is . I just happen to have been born in 1951 , go figure .? Read this ;

Annealed 308 brass today .

$hit 98 , DEZ ripped off your Idea ! ? Ya a Bayo lug is a bad idea on that type of attachment .

Nice work , I think the third cut out for the Comp is more for adding weight then to compensate & that weight will help more then the Gas redirection & I think he knew that .?

This is cool

Inside , do you mean where the cleaning kit & tool roll goes ? Nope

I have Target photos of all phases & they will follow when I'm done with all the Stock upgrades < I want to bed the Receiver a little , which will be the last & final phase for this Stock .I really don't think I can make it any stronger .

This is the Plastic Weld I used & highly recommend it for any of theses Plastic Stocks . Next i will bed the Receiver with this stuff , after I take her to the range & test it the way it is now .

This may be long , but maybe someone can learn from it . Most will say I'm nuts even trying to improve the factory SAI Injected Mold Stock , well , maybe , then again , I like a good challenge , this stock & the accuracy potential of the SOCOM are as good as any challenge & probably go against the grain for most M1A /M14 owners . I feel the first thing most do is change the Factory Stock & thats not a bad idea , its a good way to easily pick up on accuracy & lower group size in most if not all Injected mold Stocks , at least the ones that are not Pillar Bedded or have a set in Metal liner or chassis in them . I found , as I have already mentioned that my SOCOM 's Gas Cylinder was already resting on the inside of the Stock , which is not good for consistency , after opening the Ferrule area up so the Gas Cylinder would not touch , I lost all Draw pressure of the Front Band & if I played the rifle on a rest with just the weight of the Rifle on it , the Stock would just spring up & touch the top of the Front Band where the Hand Guard attached , another no no for accuracy . Reinforcing the inner Stock with Carbon Fiber , using the Vacuum Bagging method worked real well for stifling up the forearm area of the Stock , but found out that even with CF Shafts encapsulated in this area , it helped , but the Plastic just flexed at the Mag Well area , where no CF reinforcing is possible . Thinking this out , I knew I was close , I remember the video Tony Ben put out on Bedding an M14 , he used a Spacer between the Barrel & Stock to act as a fulcrum to put pressure on the Front Band when setting the Bedding up , this after Bedding was set & his Fulcrum was removed , set with that pressure on the Front Band ( Draw Pressure ) So after thinking about it I started to put shims at the Receiver to Stock area , because It was useless to install a Fulcrum at the Barrel end of the Stock , because it would just flex at the Receiver end & would be useless , even though the Stock now is probably stronger then a WOOD Stock , I found a 1/16" Shim at the front of the Receive gave me all the Draw Pressure I needed & also tightened up the Trigger latching in the Stock at the same time . Now how to accomplish this , seemed like the Liquid Metal , Steel Stick products would not adhere to this Plastic & to top it all off I had two other things that are issues , one is the Receiver Flange , its not flat its at an angle where it mates up to the Stock & the Stock is angled to mate with it , two I have to angle the Filler back from the front 1/16" to the back & blend it in to fill any gap . So looking around I found some products at the auto parts store , Plastic Weld by Permatex & a Marine Plastic weld . the Permatex sounded better so I tried it first , man was I glad I did , first its Black like my stock & second , it became part of it & I was filling off high spots in just three hours . I used Modeling Clay for Molds , so I could make it so it would angle back to blend in with the Stock & use the Mold as a sizing limit to keep both sides of the Stock even , now some photo's . Tacked on CF Shafts CF encapsulated with Vacuum Bagging method Shim under front of Receiver to get Draw pressure on From Band Clay mold , right sid already file trimmed Where I put the Shim for testing Finished stock with skim coat of final Epoxy to seal slightly fitment marks . How Receiver fits now

There are slight differences between the two BCG's , dimension & spec's wise , we have a thread on it around here some where . Now, can you swap BCG components & still get a safe Head Space , well thats something else & its your call. The only real advantage with the AR 10 Bolt to the DPMS/SR25, is the Spring loaded Firing Pin , if you can call that a advantage , there are reasons floating Firing Pins are used in Battle rifles . And its really not too difficult to Build a large Frame AR , just stick with one platform or the other & it should work out just fine , its when some start mixing & matching different platforms or in some cases , proprietary components from some manufacturers , that cause issues . Like mixing different manufacturers upper & Lower Receivers .

Ya , in the Commie controlled States , you could got to jail & not pass Go !

Magpul MOE & you can use MLOC at 2,6 & 10 o'clock positions ( might require some minor fitting ) https://www.magpul.com/products/moe-mlok-hand-guard-carbine-length-ar15-m4 Magpul CTR stock has two different size cheek risers that clip on .https://www.magpul.com/products/ctr-carbine-stock-mil-spec I think your DPMS may require a Commercial size Stock , need to measure the outside diameter of the Receiver Extension ( Buffer Tube )

I dont think you can have one of those hearing aid contraptions in Commiefornia , can you ? But I think he should go for it ? I thought that loading sounded low , but I've never used that Powder .

I know what you mean , , mine are a little younger at 66 . I have a Scope on just to set up hand loads & test upgrades . Its coming off when I'm done .

You should be able to see with the Irons under the Rail , can you ? I have lower Rings on the SOCOM then in this Photo with the Bushnell Tactical on it . It now sports a Nikon Monarch 2.5x10x42 Yes ,thats a jury rigged temporary Cheek Riser , so you can make fun of it all you guys want .?

I will be waiting for your review & range report ? Its still just a .22 ,& I just can't get all that excited about it . Its got all the hype of the 6.5 CM though .

So am I , wonder if you can load the Magpul one up , I do trust them to put out a good product , haven't been disappointed yet .

Here is an interesting concept , BiPods that fit or attach to MLOK or KEMOD Hand Guards. Say what you want , but some of the UTG products are pretty good , I have a set of their new UTG Pro Rings & they are well made. https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/00253tlbpdk02/utg-recon-flex-keymod-bipod-center-height-8inch-11point8inch-matte-black

You can PM me a price list also , I have a good supply now , but I always need more down here in Storm country .
