legal too for fuel purposes! lemee know when yours is up and running :D

the main thing is berdan primer pocket has 2 holes, so you can't use a pin to push out. that water trick works ok on once fired military ones that have had the primer replaced, doesn't work too well (or at all) on original military primers

In Puerto Rico, they of course use sugar cane for making Bacardi. Although they no longer actually do the final stages of production in Puerto Rico, they still do the cane extraction there. The smell once you are within a half mile of the factory is unbelievably good.

its almost all berdan primed, which is a royal pain to do anything with

yeah, in 308 it should be $100....

to hell with the tac ops ;) these guys are now doing the rainier raptors in FDE. their site only shows the 5.56, but the 308s are available too from what a dealer friend said. He should have one for me in a couple weeks. http://axtsweapons.com/products/raptor-556-fde

I have a buckmaster that has been sitting in my safe since I bought it that I mounted on my 308AR and couldn't adjust the windage enough to get close to zero. at whatever the full distance was (I think 17 clicks from center but I can't remember) it was still firing 3-4" to the left. I need to send it in to them.

its pretty cold in florida, relatively speaking for this time of year.

it would look good if it wasn't for the hideous color

sharp! what stock is that, it doesn't ring a bell

has anyone reloaded with any of the solid copper projectiles?

I couldn't get the crush washer to crush enough and had nothing else with big enough internal diameter to work, so I used that as I didn't feel like waiting. and I just never replaced it. sooner or later :)

its actually a stainless steel lock washer :D I figure i'll do it right once I replace the barrel with a 16. screw carrying that damn heavy thing around with a 20" barrel on it

I went this route...

you're supposed to clean those things? :D I just use a boresnake after each range trip.

actually not being specific on items, but depending on what you have toolwise you could easily spend another $150-200 on just tools. vise block, pin punches, wrenches for free float tube and/or castle nut, etc. going past that, first real choice and most important is barrels - length is pretty meaningful are sort of mutually exclusive. to really be a 1000 yard rifle, you'd want a 20" or potentially longer (nobody suggest 32" please :D ) but at the same time, if your primary objective is hunting, a 16" will be significantly lighter to lug around. the 308 ARs tend to be pretty heavy.

basically no. you can build one that's higher quality, but it will cost more. Prices on barrels range from $200-$800, stripped upper receivers from $100-300, stocks from $30-300, etc.
