Thanks, The moe rifle stock is not a bad stock. It get a bad rap from a lot of people, I had an issue with it on my previous build... It was too heavy and too long of a LOP for the intended purpose of the rifle, so I put it on this rifle and its a much better fit. Thanks

Thanks, I really love how it turned out. The 2-tone black/ burnt bronze looks amazing.

Just got it back and kinda put back together. This color is hard to photograph, and I am not that good of a photographer. The color is Burnt Bronze

Yeah, not really in a rush. I have been on a budget for this rifle as I just did a full build on my yamaha quad...that cost me and arm and a leg so trying to recover from that still.

thats how my AR-15 was, my 308 has a one piece set screw/pin. What you need to remove the set screw and then kind of wiggle the bolt catch and shake the lower or tap the buffer tube on the counter to get the pin out. Or get a good magnet and kinda persuade it out. That is how i get mine out, hope it helps

I know right, my buddy got his back in a few days. But he was doing a big run of that color soon anyway. He told me 1-2 weeks for the burnt bronze, also doesnt help that christmas is next week. and I have not decided on what barrel to buy. have it narrowed down to these two: https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2692 https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=4120

Just dropped everything off at the cerakoter. I already cant wait to get it back

Thank you both, I cant wait to get it finished and shoot it.

I will be getting the recievers and handguard cerakoted Burnt Bronze here with in the month. Took me a while to find a cerakote guy that would be willing to handle the 80% lower. My first 80 lower i did my self with alumahyde. Blasted it and baked it in an oven. It turned out ok, but after a while is started to look bad and chip in some areas. Thanks everyone for the kind words.

My Remington R1 and my friends RIA 10mm

Thank you. I really enjoy building a rifle from scratch like this, it is really rewarding.

Current Work in progress

Figure I should give some details about this build: TM 80% lower DPMS upper Midwest Industries Gen2-SS 15" rail Magpul MOE rifle stock DPMS panther-style grip BCM mod4 charging handle Primary arms 30mm scope mount Mueller APT YHM lo-pro gas block Champion Bi-pod DPMS LPK with JP enterprises trigger and hammer spring Will get the recievers and handguard cerakoted Burnt Bronze, and the only parts I still need are the BCG and Barrel. I was looking at the Rainier arms barrels or the Mega Arms Barrels. Have not decided what I want to go with, but I know I want a 20" barrel

I love building 80% lowers so I decided to do a .308 version. I was not expecting the lower recivers so be this alike when milling, I was able to use the same program from my ar-15 for the 308. Anyway here was my first ever 80% build, I have sold this upper and used the buttstock assembly on my 308 build. I decided to go a different route with this rifle. And here is the work in progress of my 308 before milling after milling currently
