I really like their 2+2. Looks like a fair price. Last couple builds used their SS. All good FCGs

45.9 seems pretty high, watch for signs sneak up slowly. Nothing wrong with slightly compressed loads as long as you don't start deforming the case. 168 Sierra shows 44 max on loaddata, but 168 Sierra HPBT does show 45.9. I like to see SD's when I'm running a ladder, fastest isn't always bestest.

You are right there for velocity no surprises. Looking up your load, 44 gr is about max. Did you record SD's?

And report back!

Used varget for years. Nothing wrong with it at all, just getting better SD's with the AR Comp. Maybe a little more forgiving, who knows. Seeing how you have both, work up a couple ladders and make your own assessment.

I really like AR-Comp, was using Varget and reloader but the AR comp was more consistent over the chrono and cycles the 3 different AR308 configurations I have.

Rifle length... When you get it post back with the ruler!

That's exactly what it's called, thanks for the reminder. @RJE288 give it a try and report back.. You an always use parts that don't work or are extra for future build!

Hello, RJE288 The round ones are the same I think, seems like I put the A4 M-15 carbine handguard from the armalite site on my last 308 build. Maybe same with triangle? Need the 308 barrel nut assembly. Front delta ring should be crossover also?

Finally got to test them at the range, walls 3 sides and a roof, high bullet baffles out front, was not pleasant with anything loud/ ported/ comped going on. 2 bays away brother shooting XM177 configuration 5.56 was acceptable, but 308 with tank brake, 12 gage unpleasant as fuk. had to grab the pro ears gold. Probably be acceptable in open area, give it a try at the gravelpit later. Yes, have the correct ear buds. These ARE the greatest thing since sliced bread for canceling out everyone on the room and watching a video with the bluetooth feature!.

C Products make a steel or SS one, and I have never had issues with their large or small frame mags. Google around you will find one.

Does the ballistic program A: have a scope over bore dimension setting? Maybe you are off a little there. B: what does the table show you should have at 275 yards? I don't like to use a 50 yard number to set up a ballistic table, to much chance for inaccuracy. Things like sight over bore dimension are a lot more critical the closer you get.

I've built on one similar to the one on the left at least once, it did fit in the 5D pro jig so I didn't notice the difference at the front until you mentioned it here and I went back and looked at a photo. Nothing wrong with it, "Billet" (milled from a forged billet) instead of just "Forged" like the one on the right. Fit the DPMS pattern upper fine.

Stealth 28 HTBT's just showed up. Seem nice. Proof is in the pudding!

Yup. Hack with some machine tools and a cerakote gun. Laser on the way, I should be really dangerous then!

Both scary looking sites Crypto only on one, other for sale

Lots of build photos and specs: http://www.albroswift.com/308Commando.html

I finally had to mod a RRA for my build. Just couldn't get the real McCoy. RRA is about 1/2" long, and the rear post recesses into the receiver. Still couple hundred. There are some fake sites selling them for $49.00, fortunately didn't fall for that.

That's giving someone a lot of credit!

Well, I don't use my AR's for pounding in tent stakes, got an AK for that, but everything I've gotten from AR15handguard has been solid. Good CS the one time I needed it, sent a high DPMS when I ordered low, no argument, Sam had the new one in the mail before he received the old one back.

Don't remember. I bought several different handguards from AR15handguard.com over the last few years, but don't see it there now. Superslim honeycomb M-Lock.

I used one of their 556 pencils with pinned 3 port, accurate and light.

@Sparkylr308 How do you like the pencil on a 308? What was your accuracy like?

Does sound awkward. Used it once worked pretty good. Torque wrench centers on the bore, like that part. $39.00, like that part also. Didn't try a muzzle device yet but be the same idea. Funny thing, link says 308 but I'm sure I used mine on small frame. Have to dig it out and look again.

I tried the brownells that works backwards, clamp the barrel wrench in the vise and use a torque wrench on the action rod. works for both small and large frame. I like the idea of being concentric with the torque. Jury is still out about clamping the wrench in the vise and standing frame/ barrel on end. https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/barrel-tools/308-ar-barrel-extension-torque-tools-prod72374.aspx
