I will give a review when I am all finished with the build. Now that the barrel I ordered the focus moves to a BCG and Gas system.

I went ahead and ordered that Wilson arms fluted barrel. We will see how it works out. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks 98Z5B! I am very much considering the Wilson Arms barrel. It's a poop load cheaper than the JP and I like the looks of the fluting.

Gotcha. I guess I can be a guinea pig.

I don't comprehend.

I kind of dig the looks of this one. Anyone have any experience with Wilson arms barrels? http://www.jsesurplus.com/18WilsonArms308Hbar1x10FlutedStainlessSteelStripped.aspx

Thanks for the tips.

Thanks! I will take a look. Thanks! I will take a look.

Maybe I could use the JP barrel and the Fail Zero nickel boron BCG.

I will be going DPMS pattern. I bought the July builders kit from Aero Precision that is cerakoted to look like a flag in a parchment color. I want it to be a great looking gun but also function just as good as it looks. I have been looking at JP but I can't find any or their nickel boron bolts that have forward assist.

Gents, I am really wanting to put a polished stainless barrel on my new .308 build but I am having a hard time finding options. I am planning to run an 18 inch with a mid length gas system. Give me some recommendations. Price really isn't an issue.

So I can use a standard AR15 buffer tube for my collapsible Magpul stock and use the EA1096 spring with a buffer from heavy buffers?

No sir I do not have a buffer tube yet. I assume it is heavier duty and longer than a standard buffer for an AR15. Can you get one from heavy buffers when you buy a buffer and spring?

I recently built my first AR15 a few months ago and what can I say...the bug bit me. I am now starting my first .308AR build and have a few questions. I picked up an M5E1 builder kit from Aero Precision and I am starting to look for a barrel. The builder kit came with a Magpul STR stock. I am looking to go 18 inches on the barrel length with a mid length gas system. Will I be fine with this setup using a buffer system from heavy buffers? This build is a little more scary for me since I bought a complete upper for my AR15 when I built it and didn't have to mess with all this parts configuration. Also I assume I should buy my BCG from the same barrel manufacturer for head spacing right. Sorry for multiple questions within this post. Thanks!

What's happening fellas! I'm new here obviously and am just starting my first .308 build. I look forward to the help and knowledge from all of you veteran builders out there. Cheers, Brent
