A pair of Atlas Bipods for a couple different builds I've got going on.

They have sights on the front of those?

Yet another humble, incredible, patriot. That's a great short bio on him. Good find Rene. Rest easy brother Cardenas...you've done well....your watch is over....we'll take it from here my friend.

$hit, that's funny. I swear that you and I are vibrating on the same cosmic frequency Doc.

Welcome from MD.

Welcome from Maryland.

Good lookin Rifle. Welcome aboard from Maryland.

I think that we all know that they only serve one purpose. And the "me too" movement wouldn't approve of it.

Love this song.

I'm looking forward to that brother. After seeing what you did to Larry's truck gun, I was fukin sold. You're the paint master my man. I'm gonna owe you after this one.

So ladies. It's on to part 2 of this saga. So grab your favorite beverage (either the adult type or your Matt Cross type), a bowl of popcorn, and get ready to be put asleep. We get back into this story after the week long intermission. We start off with what appears to be a plain Jane AR-10 upper with plastic handguards. Here she is after yanking (I'm good at yanking) off the flash hider, handguards and standard gas system. Opposite angle with the delta ring removed, and getting prepped for the new barrel nut. Here she is with the new handguard and adjustable gas system installed. I'm only referring to it as gas system instead of glass block since it's proprietary to Armalite and the 10 SASS. And finally, with the new muzzle brake thrown on her, and just a couple other shots. Other than me going a little heavy on the copper-based never sieze $hit that I use for the barrel nut and the handguard lock ring, she camed together ok. Of course now.......it'll be off to the gun pusher at some point to see what kind of glass that he's pushing these days. I'm thinking of another NightForce, but I know that he doesn't carry those anymore. But I'll at least give him first shot at trying to pry some money outta my wallet first. I try to deal with the local guys first before going off to the faceless, internet. I'll let you all know what I end up with. Then it's getting shipped off to 98 for the paint job for whenever he can fit it in. I ain't in no hurry. After all, the upper that I started with, the box from Armalite was dated 2013.......and the rail/gas system from Pat was dated 2015. That's all for this installment ladies. As you were. Carry on.

That's a good one Doc.

Welcome aboard from Maryland.

That's a good fix Doc. And highly accurate.

Welcome from Maryland.

Welcome aboard from Maryland.

This has sorta been like a tennis match....as you crane your neck back and forth to follow the action. But, in true 308AR.com style, the 2 combatants are using the rackets to club each other over the head. This is why I love this crowd.

Outstanding!

Damn! That looks delicious Rene.

Welcome aboard from Maryland.

Since I was already geared up for building this weekend. I figured that since I finished up the SBR yesterday, I'd keep driving forward and start the next build. So, it's off to my 2nd AR-10 SASS. I plan for this one to end up with a kick ass tiger stripe paint job courtesy of my brother 98. I've got all the parts on hand for this one except for the glass. I'll go stumble through the door of my local gun pusher once I finish this one to find a nice optic. I got the complete rail and gas system from our man Pat Raley (Thanks Pat) a couple years ago. Before that, I had found a steal of a deal from Armalite for a complete upper with the SASS barrel, but with standard plastic handguards and flashider.. So I've been sitting on that one just waiting for the right time. I'll ditch the plastic handguards, and replace them with the SASS quad rail/adjustable gas system. Then I'll replace the flashider with an AAC brake. Oh, I'll lose the standard charging handle and replace it with a Raptor. All Armalite parts except for the Geissele SSA-E, Raptor charging handle and the PRS stock. So, for now, we'll move on to the pics. I put the lower together today, and I'll get to re-building the upper probably next weekend. 1 - Lower built (I had forgotten how much of a pain in the ass the take down pin detent was to put in these bitches) lost one during the install. Other side. Here it is with the plastic handguard upper snapped to it just to test function. Other side. Up close and personal.

No different than an SBR.

That's pretty damn sexy brother.

Dammit. We all get those calls.
