Started assembling the beast (that's what I'm calling it, since it's my first 308 and everything is so big compared to my ar15). Rifle will (should be at least, missing a roll pin for the gas block, which didn't come with one, so I have to track one of those down) complete minus scope next weekend. Waiting on the hand gaurd, stock, brake, and charging handle to come. Need a dust cover but waiting to find one I like. I'm getting excited. Only issues I have/had is the front take down pin is hard as hell to push in and out, have to tap it with a hammer and punch...I'm sure it will loosen a bit with time, and the bolt catch isn't springy when the hammer is decocked, which again I am sure is because everything is new. Anyways here's what I got so far.
