This is the first I’ve seen it posted. Just a few things I’d be concerned with.
To many references to Mil spec and Gi parts for my liking. 308AR’s have no standard, and many ar15 parts simply may not work.
It has an Armalite cut on the receiver but accepts pmags, so it could be modeled after the A model. No big deal there. Not sure what you read that makes Armalite problematic, if I was looking to buy a complete rifle for under $1000 that would be my first place to start followed by Aero Precision.
Do you have the tools to finish the lower? Have done them before?
Also remember you get what you pay for, a quality 308 AR is not going to be cheap. Ask the guys struggling with PSA rifles......
