Sounds like you're on the right path my man. We all started out somewhere. And we all relied on others to help us learn. We're all about that around here. We're here to help each other. I'm glad to see someone from the Triad area. I've got family ALL over that region. Greensboro, Kernersville, Winston-Salem, Lexington......hell.......all around. But now, after the fact.......I take back everything good that I said about Matt.

Brother. Wyoming (Carbon County specifically) has been my "dream" go to spot for years. But this fuker actually has me thinking about a place called Skull Valley AZ. Only because it's in the northern part of the state. Not quite as "Oh my Fuking Gawd" hot as the area that he lives in now. And besides.....you called me a parts slut.

And that, my friend, is why you're the beacon to the rest of us. Our "Guiding Star" albeit. OR......just the one to slap us up beside the head. Sometimes.........it's the simple things that count. And this crowd......if nothing else........can be simple. Nothing more complicated than that.

I totally understand the whole "heat" thing. I can't fuking stand the heat. (even though he's trying to talk me into moving into Skull Valley with him as a neighbor). Northern AZ though. So it may be promising.....................................................................

And I say again................................

And you're another one.....Fuker!

Now, you're one to talk. Fuker

Yeah. Kind of what I was thinking. I was just wondering about the parts. Are the semi-auto parts banned? So that he can't even keep/possess them? That was my primary question......as a parts junkie that is.

Sounds like you may have a party crasher inbound. You may want to call security now..........just to have them prepared. Tell them to look for the Silverback.

So, do you have to pull the gas block/system? And that you get to keep all the parts that you may have to pull to make it compliant right?

And he's not saying that in a mean, dick-ish way, man. We've seen all sorts of guys argue about what they want to build, or justify why they bought this part, or that part. And then mother fuk any of us that stand in their way, when we're only trying to help other guys get what they want out of their rifles. These things were designed and built to a specific standard. But a lot of the manufacturers (or parts vendors) have strayed from that standard. Then tried to cover it up by tweeking other parts of the operating system. You can't out-think the machine. We're just trying to help out.

Stick with quality barrels, toolcraft BCG's, and an Armalite recoil system (buffer system) and you'll be okay. You're on the right path my brother.

It's a stock. I built her from the ground up. She's a fully legal SBR. Once you start dancing with the ATF with NFA stuff, you don't fuk around. It's not worth the pain that can follow along with it. You'd actually be surprised at how smooth it shoots for being a short barreled 308. It's a Noveske barrel that I built onto an Armalite receiver set that I had on hand. No AGB on this thing. If you look up Noveske "Leonidas project", you can probably find some videos that they put out a long time ago. Though I think that they've brought it back recently......maybe....I could be wrong about that. Hey.......SBR's are fun. If nothing else. MK-18 (556) 300 BLK (it's also had one of the EoTech 553's put on it) DSA Arms FAL OSW 11" (yeah yeah, not an AR) A POF P308 (piston driven) 12" And there's more. Like I said. I went through an SBR phase a couple years back.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Aero stuff my man. I personally don't have any since I went the Armalite way (different pattern). But others around here have, and nobody has anything bad to say about them. And, you're right about the "buy once, cry once". We've all found that out, one way or another.

I think that I like the way our man is thinking here.

I agree my man. The Elcan on my shorty is nice for quick acquisition out to (some) distances. But I also like the idea of snapping on some different glass for some longer experiments.

Yeah, Greg (not GREG) and I had been poppin that target (with rifles, just playing around) until Larry hit that sumbitch. We just rolled out and moved on to drinking and bull$hittin at that point (if I remember correctly). Fukin Larry.........he ruins everything. Fukin Lurch.

Ok. That's a pretty fair assessment.

I agree. 308's will bang steel at 500 yards, regardless of barrel lengths. This picture was from last fall's meet-up in the desert. Just about middle of the screen (from our elevated shooting position) was one of the targets at just under 500 yards (if I remember). I was hitting that with the SBR in the picture that I showed earlier. And I'm no great marksman.

I'm liking that. I can see that I'll have to give them some business here soon.

You know me too well brother.

I'd have to agree about using a 308 SBR for home defense/house clearing. It's just waaayyyyyy too much rifle for that purpose. BUT........that being said.....I do love my 12.5" AR-10. I kinda went through an SBR frenzy a couple years ago. You're probably starting to figure out just how deep in the "Fuk me" pool that you jumped in to. If you can think about it....more than likely, somebody around here has built it or bought it. But we'll be more than happy to help you spend your money.

Sell? What's this "sell" thing I hear about from time to time? I've never sold anything. Now....I've given parts away, TO FRIENDS, but I've never sold a single thing. Don't plan to at this point either.

I love the name of the brewery. That should be the name of the company I work for. Daywalker will understand that.

Welcome from Maryland PoolShark. If you get a chance to hang out with Matt, take him up on it. He's a good guy. I'm proud to call him a friend. Just be ready though.....he's got a potty mouth on him.
