Ok this is who I hate posting, everyone finds out how much I don't really know, lol. My question is: I am building a AR10 DPMS style gun, First of all, I am using already bought and have in hand, which I use in all my guns, the JP Enterprise Silent Capture No-Kick Buffer for .308. I have a standard sized Mil-Spec 6-hole adjustable Buffer Tube bought fromMidway U.S.A.. I also have a BufferTube that is straight and has a little end cap type sticking out built into the end with a little hole in it. I bought it a long time ago do just never sent it back. I found a Magpul Adjustable Snipers Stock for a great price and was going to order it. The selker said it was for a A2 set up. I researched A2 and only came up with something about removable handle. I don't have a handke so figured if I am using a normal mil spec buffer tube even though the stock says AR15 why wouldn't it work on my .308??? Did I miss the boat? Or am I making something simple hard. I don't understand what the difference would be as long as my buffer tube works with my buffer and it does. As far as I know have .398 buffer inside tube with a quarter in the bottom of buffer tube aspect instructions say to but don't hv everything built yet to check cycling of BCG. Now if I was to use the long straight buffer tube I have a plastic stubb I need to put in there for my JP buffer to work correctly. Can someone please correct me if I'm out there in left field? Thanks

Hello everyone, I thought I would try here first. I'm looking to buy a .308 DPMS style upper and lower receiver. Has anybody out there bought one. Decided they don't need it right now or just isn't in the budget for now? I am looking for something in the looks as the Mega Maten, or LiveWire, or A2, he is wanting The Sharpe's Bros. "The Jack". I am going to build my Son in Law a .308 for his Christmas present, so I'll have someone to Elk hunt with next year. Please if you would keep your prices at a reasonable price you know I don't mind giving you what you paid for it but for asking $200-$300 more is out of the question. Thank all of you have a great week, you can pm me m. I don't know if it's all right for me to post my phone number here or not .

Thank you

Thx W

Just wondering why dosn't everyone pull their ads when an item is sold m. Sure would save slot of time reading the ad and come down to sold mixed into the conversation. I m just asking not smacking to get plucked and cooked

Thanks I appreciate it. I am hard headed an trying to figure out why all A-bolts are 24"-26"long. This gun is going to be for long distance shooting 1,000yards. I've got friends that are into the long range shooting. I think it's pretty neat so Ifigured I would build a AR10 .308 DPMS style gun and go down with them.

Thankya

Thanks

Thank you

Thank you I will look into that

Thankya much

You still around the area now

I was kind of thinking so, 24" sure is a long piece of metal to swing around. Thinking bout bumping it down to at least a 20" maybe 18". I know my 18" .300 BO will group em tight. Thanks for the reply

Thank you much

Hey everyone I'm trying to finish out my build. I need some of y'all's input on my barrel. I'm trying to decide between 22" and 24" barrel. Is there really that much difference between a 22" & a 24" barrel. I'll be shooting premium grade ammo. I usually use Hormandy ammo around the 150 to 168 grain. Going with the 1:11 twist. I've been talking to Andy Kreiger & JP at Black Hole Weaponry. I have read a couple negative feedbacks on BlackHole though,so I'm debating. Also there's quite a bit of money difference between the two, about $400. But that doesn't bother me if I know I'm getting the best . Thanks for any input anyone woukd give

I would go with the inter changeable springs like in the picture. I have JP in every one of my guns and I freaking love it it definitely keeps you quieter and it does absorb lot of the kick. If you don't like it I'll buy it from you

Hello This is my first post on this forum. Just wanted to introduce myself and give a little background and ask a couple questions, hope this is the spot. I'm Thresher61-Steve I live in Keller, TX just North of Fort Worth, TX. I am 50 years old, my mouth gets me into more trouble than anything else. But I've figured out that at least everyone knows where I stand. I am very trustworthy, loyal, don't lie,served my time in the military 12 years(Navy),very sufficient with any weapon in my hand. I own 2 businesses, a land personnel business & a custom Outdoor Sports business(invent, design fabricate anything,mainly customized live bait tanks for off shore tournament fishing boats, and build custom sand rails), now I hv discovered the AR world who knows built more than a few AR15's and .300 BO. My shop is always open to anyone on any forum I'm on no charge for use of any tools. I love meeting people, and kids. I'm not a rich man, but yet I'm the richest man in the world as far as family & friends. Family is #1 to me. I hope this site helps me as much as the AR15 forum did when I started out building my AR's. There are a lot of folks out there with a ton of experience and will actually share it. Those people have a heart of gold. I am s seed firmly America this November, I love my Freedom and "hate" anyone who disrespects it. I'll help anyone who actually needs it. That's me could go on but that's another book, lol. I use all parts that are the most upgraded most customized build look. Money isn't a problem when it comes to my gun parts or fishing rods and reels. It usually is a showcase type item. I preach to everyone, looks don't kill the animal the gun and shooter does. I have had this problem my whole life. I buy something and then spend a lot of money upgrading it. Yes I've gotten help on this but dudnt help lol. I always go for upper end stuff most of the time it's for the better. I believe slit in the you get what you pay for terminology. I am starting a AR10(DPMS Style) .308. I don't care to argue the fine razors edge about what is a actual AR10. I call the gun I'm building an AR10 .308thsts that take it or leave it. I don't get along with overbearing loud mouth know it all asses. People like that are usually trying to cover up either their horrible sex life's, being a run away dad not paying child support, or overall black Karma type person. See my mouth does it every time. I have been getting into long distance shooting and with accuracy on top of long distance. Any ways getting back on my gun build. I found my receiver Company. Both upper & lower are matched, and I'm looking for the barrel. I have been talking to Andy Kreiger of Kreiger Arms Co. & J.P. of Black Hole Wesponary. I am trying to figure out if there is really that much difference between 22" & 24" length barrels, after I figure out the length then the difference btwn regular, semi-bull, bull, I use JPEnterprises Sikent Capture No-Kick Buffer system in all my guns and this build will be no different. As for my muzzle devise I will be using the Alamo Four Star Cowel Injection muzzle devise. I rate this one of the nicest but exoensive brake/compensator on the market today along with an adjustable gas block and my buffer system this .308 should be super smooth shooter. The Black Hole barrel is going to run approx. 400.00-485.00,the Kreiger looking more like 900.00. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME.....their opinion on the barrel length, size?whatcyoud go with on this build and why. This educates me and I like to know why someone chooses a certisn barrel.size doesn't matter to me I'm 6' 5"?240lbs, play college ball and can tote a pretty good size gun. But this will be used for Elkhunting and Long distance hunting. Putting a 10x-12x power Night Force scope on it w/2" sun shade with a off set sight made by Advantage Tactical(I hv Advantage sights on all my pistols,improved my shooting by 30% better, any sight that can improve my shooting like that is worth a looksey at.thanks everyone and sorry for the long email. I am a talker I spend so much time on the road by myself when I get going I'm off to the races. Sorry I will cut them short from now on. Just had slot to say lol. Thanks for any help I can get. Hope I didn't piss too many people off. If so sorry buck up change things then. lol, hv a great day GOD Bless", Stand tall" Carry Full Clips' Be Ready 24 hrs a Day'
