Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I have already purchased my Ace Hardware drill bits just because you may never know. Forgot to mention that I had purchased 2 Toolcraft Nickel Boron BCG's. When my rifles were shooting they seemed to be doing their job just fine. What I found after going through all the information here was almost always too short gas tube, wrong buffer and spring, crappy BCG, etc. (all from BCA rifle). Broke the buffer retainer off, carbine tube was too short by about 1/8". I have fixed all those issues just waiting to get back outside and give it a go again.

Just wanted to throw this out there, does anyone have any dealings with Noreen Firearms out of Montana? I was looking at their website at the .308 billet lower receiver in the DPMS pattern. They have a disclaimer about working with "other" uppers. Thanks for any feedback, the price seems a little too good.

New member from the poorly labeled Free State of Maryland, have learned quite a bit about building my .308 rifles just from the posts I have been reading. My first one was a total failure, all the problems listed I seemed to find. So now I am working on an Aero Precision build with mostly M5 parts, upper 18" rifle length gas with a listed .0890 gas port and the adjustable block. Used the recommended orange spring in the aero carbine tube, but may have gone too far with the KVP AR10 SS buffer that all said and done was about 5.7oz. As of yet have not fired this version, so I am hoping for the best. I like to shoot outdoor ranges and just not a fan of the indoor shooting, so waiting for better weather. Hope that it goes well. My BCA is still a work in progress. Have been following the "waterboarding" to the letter (I hope)

I also wanted to buy some please
