Sure - the carbine receiver extensions on most .308 ARs are really AR-15 parts.

Several, actually, that I could recommend. It depends on how you'll attach to it as to what version you'd need (and what your sling has on the end of it). For a sling using a hook, I'd recommend one of these: MagPul ASAP: http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG500/53 I Kick Hippes SLAP (like the ASAP, but no moving parts - all one piece): http://www.ikickhippies.com/ GG&G attachment - they make a couple different versions, but all attach from the side and not the bottom. Difficult to transition from side to side, shoulder to shoulder, though. Both those two above will let you transition from one shoulder to the other without any difficulty. If that's not something you'll be doing, then the GG&G parts work great. Here's one of them: Everything from GG&G: http://www.gggaz.com/sling-attachments-en/ar15-m16-sling-mounts.html Another recommendation would be if you have a sling with QD sockets on it - one of the better endplates for QD socket use is the Daniel Defense piece: https://danieldefense.com/mounts-1/sling/ez-carbine-qd-swivel-attachment-point.html Happy hunting (and decision-making)... ;D Also, I highly, highly recommend this sling - it's the BDS Tactical Enhanced Dual Sling. Use it as a single-point, use it as a dual-point - it's far better than the MS2 (too thin, IMHO). You can search around for the "standard" version of that one, on their site - "Enhanced" is padded, standard is not. $5 difference. http://www.bdstacticalgear.com/pd-bds-enhanced-dual-sling.cfm

First time, so far, that I've seen them step up for a customer. I don't mean that in a bad way, but just the opposite - looks like they'll finally do something for their customers.

That just how the ITAR works - nothing out of the ordinary with that. Give feedback on it once you get it and shoot it. <thumbsup>

Can you get a pic of what those 180 grainers look like loaded into the magazine? That's gotta be getting close.

<laughs> <lmao>

Looking for one that attaches to the receiver extension, right at the back of the receiver? For that location, anything that fits an AR-15 will fit the ORC.

Holy Sheeeee-it! That's awesome! <thumbsup> Here's the 42" version of that case, brother - I think that's what they're sending you (looked like it). It's a damn great case, and rivals a Pelican in many aspects.

I think ALELKS hit the number? I think he was 5,000... <dontknow> ;D

And then "start the wait..." I'm just sayin'. Everyone needs to understand that anything NFA is never a quick process.

Knight's Armament Company did not make that rifle - it's not the SR-25. "SR-25 pattern," maybe - Armalite-type (or "Armalite-looking") upper and lower with a DPMS mag compatibility - that's basically the "SR-25 pattern," but there's a whole lot more to the SR-25 than that. Just tossing that out there, for clarification. <dontknow> Kristian - if that what you can get, then go for it. The only "unknowns" in that whole package are the quality of the stripped upper and lower. In a nutshell, that's really the biggest pieces of the weapons platform. The only gamble you're really taking is on that - the manufacturer and finishing-manufacturer are truly unknown in the business. All the other parts are pretty damn good. For having NO other option (understandable, considering the circumstances), you won't do too bad with it. This has been going on for way too long, IMHO...

Having a contract for a supplier of a small item isn't the same as having a dedicated print to follow for a main battle rifle. Apples and hammers. SR25s only went to a few units, not Army-wide. M110s in the inventory are more widely spread, but there's still nothing to follow, since it's a sole-source supplier, and it was based off a SOCOM request in the first place.

Kristian, sad news, my brother - "MIL-SPEC" for a .308 AR is UNPOSSIBLE. Cannot be achieved. The reason is simple: There IS NO MIL-SPEC for a .308 AR. No MIL-SPEC exists for this rifle. You have been lied to again, my good man. <dontknow>

Mark Fingar is a Photographical Ninja. All those pics were taken by him. He's a damn gun-n-camera genious. <thumbsup>

I know I'm guilty of giving Drew a bunch of crap about ordering things, then forgetting what has been ordered - hence my quoted sig line. Well, it seems Karma has kicked me straight in the nuts, and it's well deserved - for messing with him in the first place. Embarrassing moment #2 - I check my mail about once a week. Last week was kinda abnormal, and I didn't check it. Much to my surprise, I check tonight, and find a package slip to pick up something from "Defense Sol" - what the hell did I order from them, recently?! Long story short, I put a rail on order from DSG Arms ("Defense Sol" in USPS Speak, I guess) MONTHS ago. MONTHS. Now, in their defense, it's a rail that's not exactly easy to get, and I already passed up on it about 3 months ago. I missed a call from them that they had some in stock, and I was on a "call list" for it. It came in, I missed the call, and it went to the next person in line. Now, the thing has been sitting at the USPS for the last 12 days, and I didn't catch it until tonight. Daniel Defense Mk18 RIS II - waiting for me first thing in the morning. Those of you here that are MIL or LEO - if you haven't registered with DSG Arms for your discount, you're doing yourself a financial disservice. You'd freak if you know what I got this rail for. I'm just sayin'. :o

That's a .338 Federal semi that Uncle Armalite posted, by the way - VERY DAMN SWEET!!! ;D <thumbsup>

Anything that's specifically made for mounting on the lower-than-rail height front gas block. Here's an example of the offerings from Midwest Industries - easy to see which one is for the rail-mount, and which one is for the gas block mount: Link to the product description: http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=79 Several companies make front sights just for that purpose, but I dont recall all of them right away. A quick Google search on "gas block front sight" should bring most of them up. <thumbsup>

I'd be in for a set of the SIs in XL. Tan, FDE, Mud, whatever they're calling it. Let me know if you can grab them, and what/how I'll need to send you the $$$. I'm in. <thumbsup>

Same here - skeeter, I'm thinkin' you've got a Computer HIV... <dontknow>

I like it, Fred - I like the real groups, too. Good work, man. <thumbsup>

No worries - and you're more than welcomed into the ballgame. <thumbsup>

Then post that thing up, brother! <laughs> I can't open it with Excel 2007, that's for sure, even when I save it first and then try to open it through the program... <dontknow>

mac83 & ss - changed both of you. survivalshop - it doesn't look like anything changed in your visible profile, because your primary member group is Tactical Mod. Your secondary membergroup is now MIL/LEO, though. <thumbsup>

Sure do! <thumbsup> I've seen that LaRue piece before - will that fit onto the UBR?

We have a specific thread for just that purpose, when the time comes. <thumbsup> Post it up in here: http://308ar.com/forum/general-discussion/lets-see-some-targets-range-pictures/
