survivalshop, Don't burst my bubble. I'm still believing that "old" is a state of mind, no? ;-) If you can find it, that'd be cool. No pressure

oh, I see. I'd heard about that AR15 spacer and thought it worked the same for .308 No worries, Thanks

If I put a carbine stock with a heavy carbine buffer on, then want to switch to something like a PRS, what do I need to add to the rifle buffer tube to run the carbine length buffer?

Survival shop, it'd be cool if you could find that article / study!

owl21 - sweet find. What does anyone know about this "Givati Co. USA"?

Nice...and expensive! Is the cheek piece wider than the PRS?

Er, I'm confused...why do you need to make adjustables if you don't use them? Or was that a joke I didn't get? :-)

Thanks guys. Wash, I'm only looking at adjustable's, otherwise I like your choice. Advantages vs. disadvantages of the clamp-on vs. set screw models? What's the advantage of the SLR? Easier to switch pressures? Are the other brands less effective? Have issues? etc. SLR looks nice, good reviews, but almost 2-3x the price.

Which one, and why? (This is a lower budget build, but of course, I need to be sure the parts are quality. I just don't want to spend more if there is no real additional performance. Also, solid or clamp on, and why?) Thanks as always! http://slrrifleworks.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=57_103_104 http://slrrifleworks.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=57_79_81 http://www.syracordnance.com/collections/gas-blocks/products/copy-of-gen-ii-750-adjustable-low-pro-stainless-steel-clamp-on-gas-block http://www.syracordnance.com/collections/gas-blocks/products/gen-ii-750-adjustable-low-pro-solid-gas-block-stainless-steel-finish http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1070119553/wilson-combat-low-profile-adjustable-gas-block-with-gas-tube-ar-15-lr-308-standard-barrel-0750-inside-diameter-steel-matte http://www.midwayusa.com/product/775354/pri-low-profile-adjustable-gas-block-ar-15-lr-308-standard-barrel-750-inside-diameter-steel-matte http://www.shopmillerprecisionarms.com/Adjustable_Gas_Block_Stainless_Steel_p/gas-block-adjustable-ss.htm http://www.shopmillerprecisionarms.com/Adjustable_Gas_Block_4140_Steel_p/gas-block-adjustable-4140.htm

Thanks

If I use a VLTOR 6 Position Carbine Buffer Tube and a collapsible M4 stock, then later wish to change to a PRS or Luth-AR stock, can I use the same tube? What adjustments would I need to make? Thanks

Thanks, GunBugBIt

if money is no concern, order an 18" OBR

nice. I think I'll scrap the piston idea and save it for my AK build.

Cool, thanks.

I think you'll probably want to use the JP buffer that matches the low mass carrier. ( or this one: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/549434/jp-enterprises-silent-captured-recoil-buffer-spring-ar-10-lr-308 ) And, I think Midwest Industries DPMS 308 15" handguards should work fine. https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1209 https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1230

Edgecrusher, Thanks for the reply. I hear your points. Just thinking about a piston upper for one of my builds. Just mental games really. But why do you say lwrc over pof, for instance? What about lmt or pws? And yes, a nice optic, good ammo & practice will surely be in the mix.

Rsquared, Can you elaborate on their performance differences? Pros/cons (focusing on utilizing the platforms for accuracy) and ease of cleaning compared to one another and to a DI gun? Thanks

Granted. I understand your point. I guess I'm just trying to find out if it would be harder to push any one of those brands at distance over another.

I'm sure this has been asked before, however, I wasn't able to find it when I search. If there is already an existing thread, feel free to post the link. 1. Do piston .308 ARs really run THAT much cleaner than DI? 2. What factory Piston 308AR (full rifle or just upper) tends to show the best groups at 600-1000 yards? I guess I'm doing the age old LWRC, PWS, POF, LMT debate. That said, is there any data or observations beyond just one single rifle's performance? It's be great to read something like "16-18 inch barrels on LWRC REPRs consistently seem to outperform POFs of similar size at 800+ yards with Berger 175s by X MOA" Thanks all

Make sure you give us feedback on how that barrel performs for you once it's up and running! on another note, I spent a bit of time behind a 300WinMag with a decent brake today....making me dream about that Miller Precision Arms 300 Guardian!

Nice. Thanks. And good luck getting sponsored ;-)

Boerboel guy What's the muzzle flash and concussion like compared to other brakes you've used?

BHW told me they'd make 16" in MId, Intermediate or Rifle if you like. They can do medium, semi-bull or Bull contours, and may be coming out with a 1:10 twist in the near future. They've been really great to speak with and easy to get a hold of for me. I know others have had different experiences.
