I hear the Raiders are NOT in Arizona this week...........Hahahahahahaha

Anybody notice the Colts were a little off that day? They coulda played with golf balls, softballs, medicine balls or beach balls. NE was gonna win that one. Go Hawks!

Guess if I wasn't such a dolt, I'd have given you all the link to the site. They obviously have a lot more info (and engineering knowledge) than I do. Here it is: http://www.modulusarms.com/features/

Problem: The width of an AR-15 lower is not a controlled dimension. Forged lowers vary in width from vendor to vendor and from lot to lot. Billet lowers tend to be quite a bit wider than forgings and the width varies from design to design. Solution: Modulus Arms' jig uses the same lower receiver features that center an upper, resulting in a true universal fit. That's a quote from the Modulus Arms web site advertising their universal jig. I print this not as gospel, because I don't know enough to do that. I'm just quoting them as another source of information that might be helpful. Their point was apparently that the lowers are NOT the same, but it appears it's mostly width, not hole size or location.

It's worse than that with the new law in Washington. Very confusing on the transfer of firearms. The new law apparently covers any transfer (some exceptions for family, I guess) and that causes all kinds of problems with loaning a buddy a hunting rifle, etc. I can remember when we could just drop off a rifle or pistol (and did) to a local guy who did engraving. No concern over FFL, cuz we knew the guy, he was a craftsman, handshake, work done, etc. Now it's a damn federal case.

Great idea. Wish I had thought of that. Haven't started the work on it yet. Wonder if I can get my jeweler friend to do my ID engraving before I start - that is before it's a gun. Should be legal.

Wait, club would probably OK a Moore target. Looks more like a circle than a silhouette target.....

Damn. What do you call that? Minute-of-eyeball? Super shooting!

Good deal. Always like to do business with people who don't put up with pushy government types. Sounds like I ought to order one......guess I will.

They currently have a super deal on NiB 308 BCGs. Anybody have experience with one of those? I'm in the market, but not all that familiar with their stuff. I do like their attitude, however.

I'm about to start an 80% .308. Got the lower and jig from 80percentarms.com. Appreciate the info on required or not required ID on the lower. I intend to have some sort of identifying info, to be certain i can identify the gun should it ever be stolen. Hope to get started on it next week, time permitting.

Well, I got my last heart valve from a pig....I'm just sayin'

And the girlfriend is now OK with the "shorty". Yow.

I had an Olympic Arms PCR-1 .223 (a gift from a client) which was fun; always wanted bigger bore. So last year my son talked me into doing the 6.8 build, which was my first build. So, the next stop for me was the 308, just because. Have always liked that round - good for lots of things. So I'm just starting this one. Much more research for this than for the 6.8. Appreciate all of the expertise on this site. It'll come in handy.

That's right on. I understand the air travel process well, but wonder what happens once you get there and have to move around another state with the firearm? Seems like that could get interesting in the "stoopider" states. Once in the rental car......

Got a CMC on my 5.56, then put a G2S on my 6.8 build. Like the CMC, like more the G2S. Thinking of another G2S on my soon-to-start 308 build. Kind of like the idea of some consistency. Yeah, money is a factor.

Love the drawings. Likely too complicated for ATF, but excellent, anyway. That there, now that's funny, I don't care who you are! Makes me want to buy something from them just because.

Man you guys sound like you know how to make life amusing! I can't see the strobe as anything other than rescue. Seems useless to use as a tactical light, and I've tried aiming with one of those. Nope. I have one light with a strobe. Can never remember how to find the strobe....and it ain't number three. I'll pass.

80% Arms 308 lower and a jig to start my "Ghost Gun". Woo-Hoo!

Just starting to plan a .308 "ghost gun" build on a 80% lower. Have built one AR, a fine 6.8 SPC. I'm hoping to come out as well with this build, but realize this is a different animal altogether. To soon to even know enough to ask an intelligent question, so I'll be browsing the forum and picking your collective brains. Ran across the site stumbling around the web looking for parts, advice, information. Gun people are seriously helpful, ain't they?

Have built one AR, own a couple. Built a 6.8 SPC, love it, very accurate. Washington just passed a very poorly written gun law initiative, thanks to $5 million in donations from 4 billionaires. So time to build another. Plan is to do a "ghost gun" in .308/7.62. Got to do a lot of research, and get a lot of advice. Away we go!
