The ATC SR Gold is currently the standard by which Im judging all other AR triggers. I have some images here. I would like to compare it to a comparable Geiselle trigger so if anyone has one to loan for a few weeks I would be appreciative.

Nobody here has mentioned owning this rail yet. Any chance on getting some pictures of the process or anything else? Thanks for joining

Wow that's pretty disappointing. Any chance something else is out of whack? Loose scope? Do you have any Federal 168gr GMM laying about just to try?

This is what I would/will do myself.

Great picture!

I believe they do fire them. The forward assist pushes against the area of the bolt carrier where it steps up in size. No need for notches.

yes on the barrel length. The mag issue is solved. You probably want some .308 Magpul Pmags anyhow. +1 of the free float tube

Glad to help. Depending on your barrel diameter there is also FSGB that fold. Look at this MI AR-10 example If you get a chance stop by and join up at tactical22. Great bunch of guys there.

Scope: The lower the magnification the more it interferes. You can add a riser if its an issue

Adjustable stock/buffers info here No you cant use the A2 parts

ok lots of questions so Ill answer in a few separate replies. Im multitasking Triggers, we have a topic going here that should get you started

negative on the dpms magazines

Aside from shooting what other activities do you do for fun? Im a life long woodworker and avid fisherman. I also enjoy creating websites and meeting nice folks.

Welcome and thanks for joining Shane.

bwah ha ha. How about a Fulton Armory side charger :) How about 18" bull barrel? I dont think youll save any cash buying a rifle with a PRS installed. Smooth side only if your right handed and shoot that way. I chose DPMS for parts and magazine availability. Now Magpul has $20 PMAGS in .308 that function flawlessly in DPMS/KAC rifles. Make no mistake though I will also own an Armalite but it wont be green. As I tell other folks, get whats available now that's closest to what you want at the lowest cost and build from there. Even if you arent happy with your barrel choice now its easy enough to change later and no too expensive. Cant go wrong with either IMO.

Thats a pretty good price. What a difference a year makes

How much is an A4B?

You got me on the bolts vs pins thing. Ill attach the Armalite manual, maybe you'll notice something I'm missing. 161_.pdf

Armalite parts are not as readily available as DPMS for the purposes of building your own. Its getting better though. As for quality DPMS had a bad run of magazines. The factory will swap them out no questions asked. Additionally these rifles are pretty tight when new and therefore need a lot of lubrication during break in. Failure to use enough lubrication can cause problems. DPMS customer service is also very good should you have a problem. Lastly if you feed them junk thats the performance that will be achieved. As noted elsewhere DPMS specifies by name not to use some brands of ammo. Too often guys who buy the .308's regardless of manufacturer dont have the stomach for the cost of decent ammo I suspect the dealer is exaggerating a bit or has perhaps some other motive (profit). Im also a show me kind of guy. As far as building you own vs buying there is a topic on that already but here's the bottom line. In most cases its much cheaper to buy a completed weapon and customize it then to build it from scratch. Armalite, most of the criticism of these rifles stems from the magazines. They are modified M14 mags additionally they can be pretty pricey. I feel you cant go wrong with any of .308's on the market today from the big boys in the business.

Tell her its not a military rifle, its evolution. Through out history civilian products have been born from military applications and government scientific programs. Why boil water for a cup of tea when you can nuke it. ;D

Im using a Larue LT158

Fulton Armory has the charging handle you seek. Go to the titan parts section. Brownells sells the DPMS LR-08B ambi safety here. This is the same safety they offer on the SASS. If you go to this interactive page and click on the safety it will bring you to the DPMS individual part page. As for the bolt catch and magazine release Im not sure. Some lower parts kits have standard AR-15 parts while other have slightly beefed up versions. Im just not certain theres other physical differences that would keep you from accomplishing your mission

Well Im not a hunter but I can give a little input. Accuracy will be the same regardless of the barrel length at the range your shooting. The extra inches of barrel length will give you some more fps down range for a little more energy against your target. The down side is the weight. FWIW I think the Remington R-25 has a 20" barrel. Optics, I think a 3x9 or 4x10 should suffice especially with the emphasis on hunting. Brands will depend on your budget. I see many guys opting for Nikon Monarchs and Leupolds on their .308's. Ammo for hunting I havent a clue but Ill bet Hornady and Federal would be safe bets. For target Federal Gold Medal Match is usually king with a nod to PRVI Partizan on the less expensive side. Hopefully others will chime in here too. Welcome to the forum!

ha ha. I recently had trouble locating a scale to weigh my AR-15 and the LR-308
