I actually enjoyed reading that. This is really one of the better, closer knit firearms forums I've been a part of. I've been on about a month and have 87 post including this one. I've been on the "other" ar forum for 3 years plus and only posted about 40. 308ar "feels" welcoming for some reason. *No smoke was blown in the making of this post.

That's AWESOME! This world is becoming devoid of all accountability these days.

Yep. I fooled her good. Edit to add: I love when threads veer so far left that I forget what I was asking from the get go.

Thank you @Robocop1051 I'm pitching some serious tent on my inbound 16". No deer or hog will notice I'm short a couple inches. Now... The Mrs. on the other hand...

Found this: Velocity to barrel length

.308 18 inch Nitride treated barrel from a Palmetto State Armory PA10 upper. Mid length gas system 1:10 twist, A2 profile. Approximately 80 shots on it. Shoots great, sub-moa. Went with a 16". Includes original steel gas block and A2 birdcage. $135 TYD. ConUS only.

Not sure. But he was stuck there a while. You can see in the top right corner of the pic where he chewed on the trap for a while. That'll teach em. That center of uranus started to build a nest in my boat and he pulled a bunch of the insulation out of it.

When you think you had a bad day... somewhere in my shop there's a 3 legged rat.

Saw that too. I gotta pace myself. It shipped already anyways. Thanks for looking out though! @bfoosh006 Now I'm onto optics. The giant Nikon I have ain't gonna cut it. I'm normally a vortex kinda guy but I'm eyeing a VX-2 by Leupold. It's a smidge lighter.

Spot on . It is done. I'll post some updates.

If those aero sets come up again for $185, I probably will.

Yippy!: Faxon 16" Odin works tunable gas block Armaspec Stealth recoil spring

The plot thickens... Faxon was clearing out barrels and I jumped on a sweet deal for a Faxon 16" medium. Also have an adjustable gas block coming. I wasn't disappointed at all with the performance of the PSA 18" but I'm a sucker for a good deal. Original PSA PA10 18" barrel weighs. 2.75 lbs. The Faxon comes in at 2.10. That's a good bit a difference. Every ounce counts when I'm carrying this thing a mile plus through the swamps. Public land hunting joys. Keeps me young.

Very compelling argument. I love your conviction!! Well just when I thought I was done. My budget build is not really following it's original path. Thanks to the fine folks (I blame ya'll wholeheartedly) on this forum I gotta sexy new 16" Faxon pipe and an adjustable gas block in the US Postal system. Thanks @Robocop1051 Anybody want a sweet deal on an 18" middy"?

I tried the search function but came up empty. I got a 18" on my PA10 at the moment, which shoots and functions really well (sub moa). However, Faxon has a very tempting deal right now on a 16" and I just can't shake it. I'll use the rifle mostly to deer/hog hunt. Shots will be well under 100yds. Lighter weight and a shorter, handier rifle would suit my needs better but how bad would the muzzle blast be on the 16"? I am running a linear comp btw. Thanks for some opinions.

Alright alright... where's that damn credit card...

I like your style I love H's stuff.

Dang dude! I ask myself almost daily, "Does a man need more than one 308AR? If so, why?" I really wanna try out the G2 versions, but it's only about a half a pound lighter than my current full size.

Is that an ARP next gen, "ar12"?

I caught that too. Snatched pics before it vanished here though. Very interesting how it came and went, like the Tooth Fairy or Santa.

Real nice!

I doubt psa will be forth coming with that info. They're pretty tight lipped. It'll be left to some brave soul to buy one and test the theory. That would be very smart, to keep the LR308 barrel nut. I think that would take a good chunk of buyers from DPMS.

Did ya'll see PSA's PX-10? Just noticed it. Appears to be a DPMS GII. I wonder how they pulled that off. Wished I'da known that was coming.

When I tried to remove my PA10 barrel nut, it didn't budge. The internet suggested that I freeze the entire upper and try it right out of the freezer. Worked like a charm!! Good luck, pics when done!
