Have you researched what you can and cannot do in Kalifornia? That's GOTTA be the first step here, man. This is your intro thread - fire off technical questions in one of the tech sections. Welcome aboard. <thumbsup>

Goes great with the mozza I'd sprinkle all over her. <thumbsup>

No, but prior to final torque of all parts, and WAY before firing, I will anoint the rifle thoroughly with "Costa Beard." <thumbsup> ;D

I already have a stripped upper and lower, built, with Gunfighter charging handle. It doesn't have a trigger assembly, or a BCG (pic of the starting-point parts at the bottom of this post). I'll use the Geissele ACT and BCM BCG, as per the spec. Those are included in my parts list. My parts list comes to $1,199.30. That doesn't include shipping of said parts, it doesn't include "Disruptive Grey" Cerakote, and it doesn't include a light setup - I'll use my preferred light setup if I can't find this specific light. Cheaper? Hell yeah, it will be. Some of my parts that I've picked are a little bit better, too. We'll see how this turns out, because I'm doing it. Pic of what I've already got on-hand is below:

Working on a parts list right now. Adding parts to cart. <thumbsup>

What Greg posted was kinda what I had in mind - with the lump of coal in the middle of the bag, so she sprains her ankle when she's stomping it out. <thumbsup>

Just look for any rail that mates up with the newer style DPMS flat-top .308 upper, and you'll be set. Daniel Defense does make the LITE in that configuration. Troy also makes rails for it. You'd be very, very hard-pressed to find a better, stronger rail system than the DD LITE setup anyway. <thumbsup>

It'll for sure be 10lbs of poop stuffed in a 5lb bag, brother. ;D

I'm getting my ex a lump of coal and a bag of reindeer poop. <thumbsup>

<lmao> I'll try to gather them all up and take a family photo... :o ;D

See, you guys just thought I was here for my devilish good looks... <dontknow>

That first rail you linked is indeed an AR-15 part, not a .308 AR part. Doesn't matter what you received in error, because you ordered an AR-15 part to begin with. Black Rain does make a .308 AR rail that will fit their receivers. Many people make rails that will fit their receivers. You should probably start with Mark's Armory, and see if they even have the .308 AR BRO rails. Phone call to them would probably clear it all up, and get a return authorized. Where to go from there depends on what they tell you.

I'm gonna build a replica of this rifle, and see how much it'll cost me. Just because. <thumbsup>

Great analogy. <thumbsup>

I still don't understand what part (rail) you received, and what upper you have, with regards to rail heights. DPMS is the only one that does that kinda poop, with different receiver heights. Unless Black Rain is doing it, too.

Pop your collapsible stock off and look at the end of the receiver extension - should have a vent hole in it. Rifle-length receiver extension have a screw going into the back of them, centered - the screw is vented. <thumbsup>

AZ guys, get in here. The shoot is this Sat and Sun, and I have 21 pre-registrations, which will probably be 30 or 40 on the firing line, once you count the walk-ons. Come on, fellas!!!

Yes, it'll work. <thumbsup>

Not possible. Might even be "unpossible."

I'm confused, dude. Is Black Rain doing something stupid, following in the footsteps of DPMS here? I think you need to call them and see what's going on. You do have their upper, correct?

I'm stoked, brother! VERY!!! <thumbsup> ;D

Did I post a current picture of my AR-15 in this thread?... <dontknow>

flatwins, for elevation adjustable rear flip-ups, I'm a big fan of the MATECH rear that's issued to the troops right now. You can do 200~600 with it, and it's a good one. It's not as nice as the KAC variant, but it's not nearly the price of the KAC variant, either. Those are the only two elevation-adjustable flip-up rears that I know of. <thumbsup>

I have their M16 FA National Match BCG in addition, and I concur with Matt about 300%. It's badass. <thumbsup> That happens to be a LOT of concurrance, too. <laughs>
