Not really, man - the real fix is to break it in with a couple hundred rounds of .308 Winchester commercial off-the-shelf ammo, with the upper receiver wet with lube, and get the function of the rifle down. After that, move to some military 7.62x51 ammo, and have at it. These big fuckers need to be broken in, and parts meshed. Bearing surfaces on the BCG, inside the upper receiver, bolt lugs-to-barrel extension - all that stuff needs to be properly pounded into place, whilst wet with lube. Hell, even magazines need to be broken in - don't go load your brand new 20-rd mag with 20 rounds, and expect perfection. Load light in the mags, break those bastards in, too. These things ain't AR-15s...

I just don't wanna starting seeing a bunch of bull$hit from someone quoting that damn article, and talking about their .22LR CCW piece, saying it's just as effective as someone carrying a .45 ACP, Border Patrol .40, or a .460 S&W Mag, or a Howitzer... :ugone2far: EDIT - Had to go back and edit this one to make sure "bull$hit" showed up... <lmao>

^^^ I bought one of those things right away, man!

If Tacticat pulled this $hit, I'd duct-tape him into a tight little ball. This cat wakes it's owner up every morning like this. Nobody believed them, so they set a camera out to record it. Thumper would get the Super Soaker for this $hit... :hunter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tXv-RTcI-M

That won't happen. You'll get the Fulton barrel and build another rifle out of it. Mark my words. <thumbsup>

If this was the guy's conclusion... ...then why did he title the article the way he did?

We'd make a great combo, brother! You take the frog legs, and I'll take the lesbians! <lmao>

I have 1/2 dozen of the VooDoo cases - you'll like them. Pelican cases can't be beat for durability and sealing, and the Plano AW case is a close runner-up for it. The Plano might not be crush-proof, but it is damn tough and does seal really well. It doesn't have a pressure relief valve like the Pelican cases do, but it's got a screw that you turn out to release pressure. The Plano AW cases are very good cases, and less than 1/2 of what you'd pay for the Pelican versions.

That is damn cool!

That's good stuff, right there. Reminds me of a buddy's roofing job a few years ago.

Check with scope cap manufacturers and see if you can find it listed. Search out the Butler Creek info and see if they have it listed. EDIT - Can't find any exact dimensions, but here's one mounted in a set of Burris Signature Zee rings, high-size. That at least gives you a known height to hit. Might want to go extra high if it's going onto a flat-top setup and not a bolt gun. https://www.snipercentral.com/bushnell4200.phtml

That's an owner that doesn't give a $hit about his employees, right there.

I've used ALOT of Aero Precision receivers for 5.56 builds. I'd have to count, but probably 10 of their sets. Never had an issue with any of them, and the machining is perfect.

Only one out there that will function with 308 upper receivers. I run the MP BAD levers on several 5.56 rifles. If I had the need on a .308, I wouldn't hesitate to get this one.

Don't overlook Rainier Arms.

<lmao> Looks like Bear Grylls couldn't get to his knife fast enough...

Matt!!! This story makes me happy!!! GOOD FOR YOU, BROTHER!!! HELL YEAH!!!

Yes, they have the M5E1 upper, too - just not on the website yet, as a selectable item. Pure Badassery, right there... <thumbsup>

Yep, following closely on the heels of the M4E1 upper receiver, they have released the M5 set - .308 AR sets. Available in SR-25/DPMS pattern, and in Armalite pattern. Get some. http://aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-upper-lower-bundle.html Lower Receiver Features: Semi-auto M5 (.308) lower receiver (DPMS cut) Machined from 7075-T6 forged aluminum Matte black hard-coat anodized Mil 8625 Type 3 Class 2 Marked “Cal Multi” Works with standard DPMS 308 components and magazines Rear takedown pin detent hole is threaded for a 4-40 set screw Bolt catch is threaded for a screw pin (no roll pin needed) Integrated trigger guard Selector markings will work with 45, 60 or 90 degree safety selectors Accepts Battle Arms Development short throw safety selectors, but will work with any standard selector Upper Receiver Features: Forged from 7075 T6 aluminum Precision machined to our specs M4 feedramps Matte black hard coat anodized Mil 8625 Type 3 Class 2 .2795” takedown pin holes (DPMS size) Laser engraved T-marks Accepts standard .308 components Works with DPMS high profile handguards Assembled upper comes with forward assist and port door installed

Jon, you gotta be careful asking people about things here, or these blood-thirsty bastards will make you buy one and give results! I'm just sayin'... <lmao>

I wasn't saying that I'd toss them at toddlers, you rabid bastards. I'm saying that from first-hand accounts from someone here, that they're not effective, don't do anything, and you shouldn't expect much from them. (Kinda sounds like a Democrat, eh? <lmao>) My personal experience with them just doesn't count, with that expert testimony that someone else "tossed" in here awhile ago...

I think this pretty much sealed LAR8s fate, right there... <lmao> Buy up and review, buddy!

I've probably got most buttstocks that are out on the market - it all comes down to what kind of rifle you're building, and what you like.
