Great, I'll start with that and go from there. Last time I ordered an upper from Aero it took a couple weeks so I'm sure the receiver set will take as long, if not longer so I have some time.

Great info, thank you! You said a 3" buffer & 5.2-5.5oz, would I be wrong to use the KAK 2.5"/5.3oz buffer being 1/2" shorter?

So after looking around more it sounds like quite a few people have used the ~7" extension paired with a KAK 2.5" 5.3oz buffer and the Sprinco Extra Power orange spring with success. I'm getting the feeling this is going to be a trail and error thing considering I have no idea yet if the Rainier Arms intermediate gas port is properly sized, overgassed or undergassed. I just hate to spend $90 on the buffer and spring to find out it wont work.

I dont necessarily need to use the BCM extension. I was reading a sticky in the compatibility sub forum and found a link to the Heavy Buffers CAR 10 buffer. Its listed at 5.5oz and 2.620", I assume this would be a compatible buffer? Only problem is it's like $120 (ridiculous) and the suggested modified spring is out of stock. It might not be a bad idea to just buy a kit that's known to work at this point. One that has the extension, buffer and spring. Is there such a thing out there that has the H3 buffer?

Not quite 1/32 short of 7" I wonder if I'll be better off just getting the Aero 308 carbine extension/buffer/spring kit. The buffer is 2.5" and only 3.8oz though, I felt that a heavier buffer would be ideal but I really dont have much experience with the large frame platform.

Good to know otherwise I would have a spare trigger and would have had to do another build! Lol thanks

6 position carbine extension like you'd find on a M4 clone

I ordered a Aero M5E1 builders set and 16" Rainier Arms Match .308 Intermediate Lightweight barrel this morning. I already have a BCM carbine receiver extension, Magpul ACS stock, Daniel Defense clamp on gas block and Geissele SSA-E trigger. Will the SSA-E work in the M5E1 lower? I've heard it's not compatible with some 308 AR platforms. Also, what would you guys suggest for the buffer and spring setup? I'd prefer not to buy an adjustable gas block since I already have a standard block laying around so I'd like to hear what's worked best for you guys. Standard mil-spec carbine buffer tube. Thanks!

I'll be back. I have 3 nee scopes to buy for current rifles, just don't have the money to build/buy another 308 plus mags, scope, mount ect. right now. The ammo sold on another forum right after the price drop so please close this one. Cory

$160 delivered CONUS - one and only drop

Just remember, for future builds Rocksett > Loctite 272. Just because a manufacturer reccomends something doesn't mean its right...?

It wasnt necessarily by choice ?

I'm getting out of 308 for now after selling my PA10. I have 279 rounds left I'd like to sell, 269 are XM80 (69 are loose, the rest are still boxed) and 10 are 165gr Sierra Gameking with nickel plated cases. I'm asking $180 shipped in the CONUS via UPS Ground which breaks down to about 57 cents/round assuming shipping will cost $20 - PayPal only This ammo is cross posted

This ammo is Sold, please close

$285 shipped CONUS for the XM68GD case/500 I also have TEN boxes (200 rounds) of XM80 I'd sell for $165 shipped CONUS Will trade towards a charging handle and 15" M Lok handguard, both for the AR15 platform.

SOLD on another page - please close

I would also trade this stuff for - AR15 charging handle - AR15 bolt carrier and proper pins - 15" Mlok handguard for AR15

Let's go $85 shipped on these parts (not including the handguard). I have no use for them so hopefully one of you fellas can. Cory

It was 100% stupidity and impatience on my end. I knew 272 was hard to remove but couldn't believe exactly how strong and heat resistant it is. I do have the 15" Mlok handguard off of it too but no barrel nut.

All I'll say is i should have used a Mapp gas torch to heat it instead of propane. I got almost a full turn on the brake when it tightened up again and I heard a pop. Barrel nut sheared in half plus enough damage to the upper receiver to junk it.... lesson learned. Expensive lesson learned. Manfacturer specs said to use Loctite 272 on the brake, so I did. Next time it'll be Rock-Sett or blue Loctite.

Well I made an oops yesterday while trying to remove my muzzle brake on my PA10 upper. I'll just say it was bad enough (don't ask ?) that I'm just going to start over and buy a new complete upper, when funds allow. This should be a good parts kit if you have a stripped upper to build. Total round count on these parts is 460 factory loaded Federal and Hornady. $105 PayPal shipped in the US via USPS Priority mail includes: - complete BCG - charging handle - forward assist (may need a new roll pin) - dust cover If you have any questions, or want better/more pictures, feel free to PM or email me (bvw0914 at gmail.com) Cory

I actually just ordered a JP Enterprises clamp on adj gas block this morning. It was $50 cheaper than the SLR and all the reviews were 5 star for it so I figured its worth a shot.

The stock has $OLD - please close dubya

This item is traded and no longer available. Mods, please close the thread. Cory

Hopefully that's what it is then. I asked him a couple weeks ago if mine was FFP or SFP and he said it was a second, but I don't recall anything about it being dual (I've never heard of that to be honest).
