$3690, Scope and rings are optional. I'm tempted to rant and rave about the cost but I know I'm going to just buy it anyways, so maybe I should save my strength for running from my wife when she finds out. You can also go with the "Ultimate Sniper" package (not monolithic but nice all the same) with custom muzzle brake for $3290.

It's like you're reading my mind... :o

Welcome to the forums. You need to get up with 98Z5V, he's our resident purchasing consultant. Just tell him you have a roll pin you don't know what to do with, and stand back and watch the fireworks.

It's pricey coolade, but darned if it's not more addictive than whiskey....

Wow, I cracked a few ribs I laughed so hard!!! I'll send ya the bill... LOL

Nice!!! 8) Eye candy... *drools*

I'm pretty sure I was supposed to have been born in a different time, 'cause these days everything I believe is real 'Old fashioned' to mainstream culture. It's a sad era in human history when the only place you can find an honest politician is on your currency.

Ya know, to a gun lover this reads like a friggin personal ad. <laughs> Anyways, welcome to our forums, you will find no lack of humor here. <thumbsup>

Yeah, you're in the crowd of people whose expertise is in the field of cultivating marriages and gun collections at the same time <laughs> <lmao> Well, here's my .02, buy her something equally expensive, then she has no choice but to let you have your toys too. <thumbsup>

Why? Oh wait is this the magic post? <dontknow>

Welcome to America, where the good guys pay taxes & everyone else runs the government.

I agree with you about pricing concerns and whatnot, but if you hang out long enough in places like Snipers Hide, you'll find out really quickly that the hardcore shooters don't seem to be even slightly concerned about what they're spending on hardware. Larue and POF and LMT all have no shortage of demand and because of their pricing, don't have more demand than they can keep up with, so they're pretty much exactly where they want to be. We budget people just have to budget till we can afford to buy that hardware at the most reasonable price we can find it for.

It's very simple, I did a how-to for a FFT install here a while back, it included removing the FFT, and you can read that thread here. or http://308ar.com/forum/index.php/topic,328.msg2218.html#msg2218

I use the LT-158 because it gives a good clearance for say a 50mm objective lens. That and it had to be QD.... Here's the page for the LT-158 http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=42

That's a sweet rig alright, it's always that LT quick-detach scope mount that catches my eye first though. You just can't beat 'em.

I'm not to thrilled with the stock fluted 20" that came with my current gun, I'm wanting to go slightly shorter and this sounds right up my alley. What do you need to get out of it Jgun?

I used a strap wrench on mine. It unscrews in the typical counter-clockwise fashion. you may have to heat the back of the FFT right there at the receiver with a heat gun or some such to help break the loctite on the threads.

Sweet!!! So, mid length or rifle-length gas system?

If TacBlade doesn't take this off your hands, I might. What length gas system does it use?

No problem. Post up some pics when you get it back. Unfluted barrels are pretty cheap, getting them fluted is a cool way to customize an otherwise ordinary barrel.

Welcome to the forums and some of best company/worst influences a man can keep. Thanks for your service and enjoy your stay here!

Welcome to the forums!! A nice lower would be a good place to start, LOL, check the classifieds!!! <thumbsup>

Oh ok, I know exactly what you're talking about now. You could roll up emery cloth (or wet-use sandpaper) and use it to very lightly polish the bore in the bolt/extractor assembly, make it a little easier to remove. You wouldn't have to get real agressive or anything, just very light and even polishing to loosen the fit ever so slightly. We were referring to the firing pin retainer pin(#14), whereas you were speaking of the cam pin(#6) as shown in this diagram. Edit: Woops, posted late!

I'm with imschur, I'd be interested in seeing a pic of your BCG from the ejector port side.
