That is the "target" or "hi top" rcvr. No aftermarket railed handguard will match up with it. DPMS makes one, but they are hard to find and weigh a ton. Most people just end up buying a new upper and swapping the parts over.

Baby steps...did the big parts first :) I really need the takedown pins. The stupid KNS pins are a PITA.

I took a pic of the crock pot filled with black ooze and was going to post it on her Facebook page lol. She would have blown a gasket.

105mpg is pretty crazy. im amazed the oil companies would let them build that.

i made this as a wallpaper for my phone, and it came out pretty cool. bunch of people liked it. figured id toss it in here in case someone wanted to use it.

first stock was a LMT sopmod a buddy gave me for working on his rifle. it went through a rough tour in Astan and showed it. it was originally brown, and spray painted tan. the butt pad was cracked and broken but works fine. the stock was ugly, but functioned. i found a good sized pot, filled it with about 2 gallons of water and half a bottle of dye. overkill...but its cheap. brought it to a rolling boil. i took the butt pad and storage tubes off of the stock body and dropped it in the stew. then i slapped myself in the forehead, fished the storage tubes back out and took the caps off....because they float. i was a little worried about the heat, but this is tough stuff designed for war, and it was fine. left it in the pot for 15 min. when i pulled it out, it had a perfect dark flat black color. i also realized RIT doesnt stick to tan krylon, and i had missed a few spots. also of note, the but pad didnt take the dye and was still brown. i happen to have a rattlecan of vinyl/fabric paint in flat black in the shed...and perfecto. That worked out so well, that i decided to buy a new stock for my 308AR. ive been in love with the VLTOR modstock, and found a smoking deal on one, but it was green. problem with the A1 length rifle stock is that it wouldnt fit in any of my pots, so i waited until the wife was out and broke out her crock pot! i boiled the water on the stove, and then poured it in the crockpot and cranked it up to max heat. poured the other half of the RIT dye in. took the modstock apart like the LMT and dropped it in the stew. slapped myself in the forehead...fished the storage tubes out and took the caps off..because... they still float. since the temp was lower i left it in for 30 min. came out great, except the caps for the storage tubes didnt take the dye and were still green. i didnt take before/after pics of the modstock because i had limited time to abuse the kitchen while the wife was out. overall, it worked awesome. was simple to do and saved me a bunch of money. might be worth noting that this stuff can stain the heck out of your counter tops, pot holders, kitchen floor, or anything else in the vicinity of your operation.

While Toyota and Subaru are my choice in vehicles, they tend to be expensive. Hyundai as really impressed me the past few years. US has stepped it's game up since the bailouts but i'm still cautious.

Figure a slidefire is over 300 and ugly as sin. According to the video the trigger is nice in semi form so may be an upgrade over stock. Also seems like it will be much more accurate and controllable than slidefire if it works as advertised. Still more than I would spend, but not beyond belief.

It's in the other thread. He did some work for them.

There's a pri delta 308 rail on Ebay right now. I'm looking for a delta to put on my A2 dissy. I think it would look pretty hard.

Pri fanboy

My bro in law has the dd lightweight also. It's a feather compared to all my pigs. Really nice rifle.

That's awesome

I'm betting we see alot more lowers like tha g now that Jesse James is a gun builder.

I lied! If someone finds a geissele G2S on sale let me know!

. I'm tapped. Between the SPR, new stock on the 308, 2 new bipods, I have exhausted my toy fund. Not even going to click any links for the rest of the year. Good thing the year is almost over :)

Is that the same as the Rodgers/colt stock? Was one local for $50 I almost snatched up just for the heck of it.

What is that white stuff all over the ground? Lol. Nice kill.

Nice!. I have 3 buddies out here who have been out this season, and all 3 came up with nothing.

That is meant for an A2 (carry handle) upper in 5.56. Not sure if it will work with a detachable carry handle bolted to an A3 (flat top) which i'm guessing you have. The brass will leave marks on the upper, but its not bad or deep. Get a piece of tape or something like that if it bothers you.

So...he has a slickside upper and wants to add a shell deflector? Can you post a pic/ link to what he bought?

Buds has them sub $900. Just saw it on slickguns

Thought the UBRs were all the same. only caliber specific if they came as a complete kit because of the buffer.

$40 blems? Didn't I just say I was done building for a while? I hate you guys.

That lower has some strange "caveman" appeal to me. I like it.
