Thank you all for the welcome and the advice on the gas tube length, I will definitely be looking into that. Now I only need to decide on what BCG and trigger to get. Any suggestions?

Hi, Just found this site and since I am starting a .308 AR build, I thought I would join. A little about myself; I'm a Battalion Chief for the fire department that I work. I'm a Army veteran, former sergeant in the 82nd Airborne Division (Infantry). I live in South Dakota. I'm a avid hunter and shooter. Like to hike, ride motorcycles and ATVs and love to read. I've built 3 AR15's in the past, but this will be my first .308 build. I currently have a Mega Arms Maten Upper/Lower Billet set and a Wilson Combat 16" Recon Tactical stainless fluted .308 barrel. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
