WHOA! Leave mom outta this, I swear she's a saint...

... and if you haven't, shame on you! Pics within 4 weeks or more warnings will follow! :D

Tase 'em boys, he just communicated a threat!!! >:D

The critical question is, will it do what you need it to do, every time? If the answer to that question is yes, it doesn't matter if your weapon is Taiwanese silly putty, nobody can ask for more than that. :)

I'll just throw this in there, while it's a hot topic. When they were still selling their Monolithic platform, I bought and built a SR-25/style .308 off of the Mega Arms MA TEN platform, based on using DPMS compatible parts. Here's the final rundown of the parts list: Mega MA TEN Monolithic Rifle Length chassis (upper & lower) Fulton Armory 18.5 Mid-weight Rifle length gas system Fulton Armory Titan bolt assy. FA low pro aluminum gas block SI Defense Nickel Boron bolt carrier PACT SR Gold trigger Battle Arms BADASS (saftey lever) CAA G17 Grip Magpul PRS stock, Magpul rail covers, Magpul mags Bobro/GG&G Bipod Ops Inc. 12th Model muzzle brake and suppressor combo LaRue Tactical QD 10MOA single piece scope mount The only custom work that this rifle has ever seen, was the tapered collar for sealing the rear of the suppressor, which I machined myself and was only an additional component for assembly. All I did was put all that together, basic assembly required, and no fitting of any parts with the exception of the aforementioned collar. The beast easily shoots .75MOA with sub grade match ammo, and .5MOA with FGMM and comparable ammo. The total price tag for all that comes up to the $4k mark. Would I do it again? You bet! I know my rifle inside and out, and I can't reasonably ask it to perform any better.The OBR is a fantastic piece of gear, but had I built my same design off that platform, I would easily be at the $6k investment mark. The short answer is that a Franken-rifle CAN meet or exceed it, but you have to buy premium components to do so, and while you might end up coming out cheaper still, the margin won't be exceedingly wide.

I heard he bought the "do it yourself" kit and threw away the instructions.... <munch>

Wow, that is a sweet rifle! Isn't there supposed to be something else on the muzzle there though? I mean... it IS a 300 blackout right?

With regard to your way of thinking, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. No need to correct an opinion that directly reflects your own experience and way of thinking brother, we're all individuals with our own personality, it is what it is. I think your fix was pretty creative actually, if it takes your weapon from a less than desirable standpoint to one where you can personally rely on it, nobody needs more than that. I can't stand brand snobbery either, but I've learned from my own experience why reputation is the vitality of a brand, and why the associated costs are usually worth it. The reputation that CMMG has had in our forums comes from the standpoint of the purchaser having to make it functional, vs. the out of the box functionality that the majority of other manufacturers have had. Collectively, most of our rifles have seen some kind of evolution from purchase to final product. That transformation typically comes with it's own learning curve that can teach you more about the platform than you might have ever known just buying something out of the box and shooting it. Keep us posted on your progress brother, sounds like you've got a pretty good plan together.

That's our polite term for you, please don't make us break out the cut-and-dried on you... :enguard:

If you keep all that water & mud on the OUTSIDE... usually doesn't hurt anything. Engines in general tend to protest when you cause them to inhale anything other than fuel or oxygen....

Sorry pal, there's noone around here that will help anyone else spend their hard-earned money. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm just kidding. Before we get started, are you familiar with your state's procedure for filing for bankruptcy?

BLKSHEEP is drunk-dialing threads.... :ifly:

Welcome to the forums! We will not hold being Tom's friend against you, at least not at first. >:D Anyways, make yourself right at home, we here at the asylum are glad to have you.

LOL ... and I thought this place was innuendo central before Dawn got here... Yeesh! <hump>

ROFLMAO <laughs> <lmao>

Welcome, from the Hickory area. Glad to have you aboard,and last but most importantly, thank you for your service.

988....

LOL The 'warning' has never been fired in anger, undoubtedly a good thing... ;)

CAA G27 Inexpensive and completely underappreciated. Has been the ultimate rival to my MIAD so far.

I love it! Going in my signature RIGHT NOW!

That's a point-cut rifling machine, it's far more time intensive than button rifling but yields a better quality barrel. The paint scheme isn't that bad, at least to me.

Welcome to the asylum Dawn!! Finally someone will be bringing this place some class..... :D

Ah good, you've found your inner jew, or as I call it, the"308AR.com bankruptcy dive brake".

My thoughts on this: An adjustable gas block is fantastic, as long as your handguard will accommodate it. Having to replace your FFHG to accommodate your adjustable gas block to fix overgassing comes out to be a lot more expensive than just dropping in a heavier buffer and appropriate spring. I'm not trying to talk you out of buying an adjustable gas block, but the decision to buy a heavy buffer has a lot of merit, for many more reasons than even what I've just mentioned.

LOL In picture 3, I can't quite tell, is it: A shadow... A black belt... OR... MASSIVE TACTIGUT!!!! Whatever it is, Tom is rockin' it! Just sayin' Tom! :hail: :hornet:
