I've got 3. Two were manufactured by Aero Precision, and the other is the old-skool Mega Machine Gator Grip lower. Spike's doesn't make their own, but they do have good companies making them for them. You can't go wrong, brother. <thumbsup>

No need to be sorry, and I'm certainly not upset in any way. In a nutshell, you asked me this question: I simply told you the issues with it, in this instance. I hope you truly understand what I responded with, and why. Does my response make sense to you?

I think the only person they've ever sent one to was Matt Cross... <lmao>

Chuck Norris wears Tommy Jordan pajamas... <thumbsup> <laughs>

What a giant barrel of poop - CPS went there after weenies that viewed his video called them. :tfg: The former Marine wrote on his Facebook page that Child Protective Services officials came to his home in Stanly Co. on Saturday and interviewed him and his daughter — separately — after viewers of the video called with concerns about his actions. He said the police also stopped by. “The police by the way said ‘Kudos, sir,’ ” Jordan wrote. "I actually had a "thank you" from an entire detectives squad. And another police officer is using it in a positive manner in his presentation for the school system. How’s about those apples? Didn’t expect THAT when you called the cops did you?”

LL, this deal go through here? - looks like that was 10 days ago. If it's already gone, I'll go ahead and lock up the thread. <thumbsup>

I'm pretty sure it's this one, right here: Length: 16" Barrel MSRP: $ 1080 Complete 300 AAC BLACKOUT Upper Receiver Assembly - 9" Nitrided 1:8: Twist Barrel, threaded 5/8-24 - AAC 51T BLACKOUT™ Flash Hider - "Full Auto" BCG - KAC URX Rail - Ready to drop onto your AR15/M16/M4 lower! Works with an AR lower with "Mil-Spec" push pin locations. For everything it's got, that's actually one hell of a deal. :o

Maaaaan, you're not kidding... :tweed:

Lesson 65b?... <lmao>

Oh, it's much too late for that now... <lmao> As soon as you accepted us, and we accepted you, we're family. NOW, you're screwed... <laughs> <thumbsup> :cookoo:

With such a small round count, it really wouldn't matter. Just make sure it's a DPMS-type bolt since it's going into a DPMS barrel extension.

This is why it's always better to just pick up the phone and call a human...

Absolutely! How do you think I get those faces on the range targets?... <thumbsup> ;D

I'm aware of ZERO companies offering an 80% Armalite AR-10 based lower right now. Nobody does it in an 80% or a 100% (paperweight). They just aren't out there. For 80% .308s, it's DPMS-pattern or nothing. Best bet? Find out from JohnnyV where he got his raw forging from. It's Armalite-based, and it was untouched, virgin, raw forging... <dontknow> Also, take a look at what he went through to finish it: https://picasaweb.google.com/105733611223878902496/AR10ProjectLowerReceiver?authkey=Gv1sRgCOTgxtWLuY_lOg# If you have access to a CNC machine, and can run it, I've got Armalite-based lower blueprints you can have.

There are a couple guys here now with the Bushmaster MOE - check out the Bushmaster sub-section under the DPMS primary section; pics and writeups are in there. <thumbsup> That's a good rifle, not that the other you listed isn't, of course.

Awesome heads-up, blue! <thumbsup> Got one on the way, thanks to this. Don't know what I'm going to do with it, or what I'm going to put it on, but the sale price on this just couldn't be passed up. <laughs>

Specs on those chambers, Greg. <thumbsup>

.223 Rem chamber is tight, and gives good accuracy. Don't continuously run higher-pressured 5.56 NATO through it... 5.56 NATO chamber is not quite as tight as a .223 Rem chamber, and it can handle a wide variety of loads, both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO. It's not as accurate (traditionally speaking) as a .223 Rem chamber. .223 Wylde is the best of both worlds, to some extent. You can safely shoot both types, .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO, and it gives a little better accuracy than a standard 5.56 NATO chamber. Go for the Wylde chamber, brother. <thumbsup> That 16" foliage gun that your wife took over at the range was a Wilson-Nordic .223 Wylde, midlength gas, 1:8 twist barrel. That damn thing rocks. ;D

Got a link to those guys?

PIggy-backing on someone else's topic isn't really the true topic here - "My new Rock River." What we're talking about here is wait times. Nothing "wrong" with responding in this older thread, that's really about something else. However, it does screw up searches - if someone is looking for information on RRA wait times, they'd probably miss this thread. The reality is that the second half of this thread is about wait times - not a new RRA. Make sense? Also, japeatr hasn't been logged in since Nov 11th, 2011 - think he'll get you a timely response to this question you asked? Better off starting a new thread, and asking people if they know where to get this scope mount?... (and link the thread): http://308ar.com/forum/rock-river-arms-lar-8/my-new-rock-river/msg24590/#new

BCG? Nope, no difference between 7.62x51 and .308 Win BCGs for these. Just make sure you're getting a DPMS bolt with it, for your (current) DPMS barrel/extension.

In the closer pics, it's definitely a factory Armalite CF free float tube, instead of the Precision Reflex. I think only Armalite uses a barrel nut specifically like that one you've got. It's definitely worth something on the used market, but I'm not sure how much. <thumbsup>

Go grab the camera, crazy woman!... <laughs>

Makes sense, then - any 5.56 carbine I'd take would be around 9lbs loaded, too.

If you don't mind, post up some more pics of the free float tube - looks like an early PRI natural-finish carbon fiber tube. <thumbsup>
