I went with the GG&G Im glad I did. Took her out to 565yds today where they had 4" & 5" gongs Holy $hit I actually hit them. First time past 100yds. Using FGMM 175 7.62x51(sticky dirty brass) then switched to FGMM 168 308 and started getting more hits but that could have been because that was later in the day and I had shot 50 rnds by then. The rifle,I seem to like the 168s better Tried the gongs & targets at 1k-1018yds w/175s but I couldnt see my hits. I need a stronger scope my SS is a fixed 16. Could see hits just fine out to 565 and the JP Recoil Eliminator is Awesome. My opinion it works alot better then the FSC30 I was able to see my hits but I did get to shoot prone as opposed to bench with the FSC. Ill be sticking with the JP. My Bobro mount will be here tomorrow thankfully. My neck was getting a little soar from holding it so high with this set up I think I am going to move the bipod to the middle of the handguard and see what happens. I hoping I can load it more being that the base has been shortend. Anyway a pic for now with the GG&G

^^^ I really like my CMC flat trigger My shooter mat came in Fri to my surprise it is a Voodoo Tactical mat Didnt say what it was in the Brownells description plus it was Alot cheaper then what other online retailers had it advertised at with the description saying VooDoo in it. Padding and the non slip elbow wings works great. Didnt even know it was embroidered untill I unrolled it.

SWFA/Bobro 30mm mount

GG&G Heavy bipod Some FGMM 7.62x51 from palmetto Some 308 175 smk's from swammo And a modgear shooters mat from ctd (good reviews) Holland series 30mm scope level AL

Thank you for the compliment Shopping for a bipod is driving me crazy...I keep seeing others I want to try out... I havent had a chance to use it the JP brake yet. I actually had a FSC30 on it the first day,it did an alright job. I might make it to the range this weekend if not next Sunday for sure and I will definitely post up the performance difference between the two. AL

My first AR and build MA-TEN set (thanks D Branson) Fulton Armory 18.5" (thanks Jgun) rifle length gas system Fulton gas block JP Recoil Elminator JP 15.5" FFT DPMS BCG (black phosphate) Bravo Co. Gunfighter Handle mod 3 latch Phase 5 EBR KNS Pins (made more sense then the c-clips that came with the trigger) Chip McCormmick Flat Trigger (Awesome-its like pressing a button-zero travel) Ext takedown pin (drilled a hole and put a piece of leather through it glad I did for barrel break in alot easier with it) Ergo grip UBR Stock Enidine shorty buffer AR10 spring (cut down) SS 16x42 Rings (Front cheap rear Burris XTR hand them laying around) looking for new scope $13 bipod <lmao> had it laying around. I think Im going with a GG&G since Atlas is on backorder (anyone on this board wanna sell their old GG&G?) Running strictly 175gr SMK's through her Im waiting for the new Bushnell HDMR w/TReMor reticle to come out before I make a decision on a scope either the Bushnell or Vortex Viper pst. Leaning towards the Addmount scope mount but I have to wait since the Bushnell is 34mm and the Vortex is 30mm before buying the mount. But to be honest Im really liking my SS. The more I look through it and practice ranging out my window...cars,signs,mailboxes,cows @ 1300yds yesterday... ;D the more I think I should just keep it. I could get a cheaper mount decide on a anti cant device pick up a bipod and buy more ammo. I still have more then enough MOA left to reach out to 1000yds with this setup. Which Im really looking forward to doing but I want at least another 2 sessions with her before I start reaching out that far. FFT was hitting the FA gas block so I sanded the hell out of the gas block it is barely touching now so Im going to order the JP adj block. Put 80rnds through her last Sunday and Im loving it. 5 rounds then clean repeat.... that sucked but the JP Bore guide and dewey rods are AWESOME made things alot easier Only used the bipod to mount/level/plumb scope so I shot off bags on Sunday and did not enjoy that at all.....f'n sand everywhere and the bags would shift and fall off the support once in a while Love this flat trigger its like pressing a button, no travel at all. I also have a flat trigger on my CZ75b I have it set the same way no travel in either direction. Simply press the button and Bang Ran an FSC30 on Sunday and switched it out for the JP eliminator can wait to see the difference. Thank you for all the info you guys have provided on this forum AL Now a couple pics no pics of targets this time around next time for sure

4 boxes of fgmm 175gr smk for $29 ea. all they had left otherwise I would have grabbed more And a set of Go No-Go gauges from Brownells Cleaning rods came in today. Plus Branson shipped my MA-Ten today. If all goes well I should be on the range with her next Sunday... Edit Just ordered a few C Products Mags from Rainier Arms

JP Rifles bore guide From Dewey I orderd Cleaning rod/Chamber rod along with no harm brushes,chamber brushes,mops & patches. Wasnt sure if the mops for the chamber are the same as the mops for the bore so I ordered both Brownells Action Lube for barrel nut/muzzle/ext tube threads,trigger assy. I gotta say I am a little excited to do this build....cant wait to start just 1 more week AL

I knew I wanted a semi auto 308 so I did a yahoo search "how to build an ar" a thread on arf.com popped up and also your front page on "how to assemble an upper/lower" Read the arf first then I read all of your builds. And what do you know the handguard I have for my build is the JP 15.5".... <thumbsup> But I did not notice the "community" tab right away, it was cut off on my screen. What brought me into the forum section and made me join was "Bransons MA-Ten group buy" thread. AL

One more week ... :banana:

Waiting patiently for my MaTen set Tonja from Mega said 6-8 weeks from date of order. The 15th of this month will be 8 weeks. My first AR and my first build all my parts/tools are sitting here ready to go. Dig the forum too lots of info, thanks AL

Jgun-GTG!!! I bought a Fulton Armory 18.5" barrel from him... Smooth Transaction & Fast Shipping a pleasure to deal with. <thumbsup> Thank you AL
