Well ladies? Sing along. You've all heard the way this tune starts before.
So I go stumbling through the door of my local gun pushers shop. I've got a spring in my step....there's a fresh breeze in the air...life is good (for a change).....dogs are getting along with cats.....and my F@#KING POF P308 SBR has finally been cleared by our friends at the ATF Gestapo office. You wonder why it may be such a glorious day? A lot of us have made the painful wait, just to join (or continue our collections) the class 3 club. So why is this pickup any different than any other, you may ask? Well.....mainly because I originally ordered this little beauty....oh....a mere 26 months ago. Yep....you heard it ladies. 26 F-ING months ago.
My god (throwing hands in the air)! It's about Fuckin time! 26 months! Sheesh.
Anyway....I digress.
I'll get some pics up of this little powerhouse sometime soon. Not sure about any range time. At least not any time soon. Work is a major bitch here lately. Just last weekend (Fri, Sat & Sun) I put in 51 hours. Talk about kicking your ASS?
On a side note. As soon as I walked through the door back at my place, it was straight to the parts isle to begin digging. I ripped off the MOE grip and slapped a Hogue onto her. Maybe, if I get the time, I'll swap the factory muzzle brake out for an AAC brakeout comp (I have some of them in stock). But hell, if I have that kind of time, I'll take her to the range first.
First impressions? This thing is really tight (literally). The takedown pin....you just can't "pop" it out with a stiff press of a finger or your thumb. The gas block is gonna need a "little" persuasion to crank around for the first time (in my hands). Hell, I'm not surprised though. The thing has been sitting in a box for over 2 years since it was built....a little lube couldn't hurt. The thing doesn't rattle at all....short of a little bit from the STR stock.
More to follow fella's. As I inspect, handle and just all around fondle this thing. I sat down and churned this out first. Let the fondling begin.
