I'm running that scope on my .308 Kimber bolt gun, and the scope mount on my 16" 5.56 gun - both those pieces are great. That's a nice build, man. <thumbsup>

I know it, man! This weapon shoots like a dream. That S3G trigger is a work of art. <thumbsup> It's a 14.5" carbine gas system with a standard buffer, so I'm going to try an H1 and H2 buffer in it and see how that changes things. Even as it is, it's smooth. Right now, that lower has it's Fire marking at 68 degrees, instead of the typical 90 degrees for Fire - it's specifically marked to use this 45 degree throw safety. It's marked there so it will be compatible with both 45 and 90 degree safeties. Since the lower is a full-built unit, and that's the only way you can get it right now, the only choice you have for the safety lever is no choice really - it ships with the 45 degree. From what's been advertised, this lower is the only one in production with the markings like that, but that will probably change soon - others will pick up on this and mark their lowers similarly, I'm thinking. The safety is what makes the throw, and it'a compatible with any standard lower out there. You can add it to any rifle you have that takes the standard 90 degree safety lever. I picked up one of the very first 90 degree units available when they first came out (Battle Arms Development), and did a writeup here: http://308ar.com/forum/index.php/topic,391.msg5819.html#msg5819 I'm not kidding when I say a safety setup can make a difference. I wouldn't have believed it myself, before I bought the original version. It's just that much better. The 45 degree throw is that much better than the original. I'll tell you guys this - if you buy this lever setup and don't like it, I'll buy it from you - you'll be out nothing that way, and I'll even pay for the shipping to me. I need about 7 more of them anyway. <thumbsup> Make me happy. ;D <laughs> Here's what I brought to the table this weekend. All the short guns, plus two Kimber .45 pistols, and the Moss 930SPX shottie. No distance guns in the mix this time. Whoda thunk the SPX could be used as a skeet gun?... <lmao> <munch>

The MagPul BAD lever isn't going to work on the .308 guns out there, unless I've missed someone making a different upper that will accept one. Last time I searched this all out, there's not one upper out there that will clear the BAD lever. Last I checked, the only available option for the .308 guns was the EBR from Phase5. <dontknow> FWIW, I run the BAD lever on every single one of my 5.56 guns, except the very newest build.

Fantastic news, too! I'm overjoyed! <thumbsup>

I'd bet that it won't work, just because of how much proprietary stuff Rock River has on that rifle. Check this link out: http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=451

I thought somebody here picked one of those up. <dontknow>

Finished for now, except for one more part. The MI T-12 rail will be swapped for a DD Mk18 RIS II, when I can get that thing. It shoots Sunday morning. <thumbsup>

Welcome to the nuthouse... <laughs> Your screen name is killin' me - the license plate from the truck in Hee Haw... <lmao> You're gonna fit in well here. <thumbsup>

Pssssshh... "Volun-TOLD" is more like it... <lmao>

SS, you have assembled an incredible weapon. Cheers to you. <thumbsup>

Everything listed above will fit, EXCEPT for the YHM Specter gas block. <thumbsup>

Now I need to hunt down all the related topics on the site, and move 'em... >:( I feel like I've been suckered into something here... :o <laughs>

Official manual from AAC on the caliber/rifle: http://www.300aacblackout.com/resources/AAC-AR-Manual.pdf

Done. <thumbsup> It's down below "The Other Brands" section, and above ".308 AR Technical." ;D

Oh Lordy, the keys to Dad's car... <laughs> I guess I opened my mouth, didn't I? I'll go brew something up and see how it turns out. <thumbsup>

That's the spirit, buddy! <thumbsup> ;D

Robo, can you possibly get the dimensions for ID on the Apex? If you can, I can list a bunch of lo-pro gas blocks that will work. <thumbsup>

Deer and rabbits are FDE, too, and it seems to work real well for them no matter what terrain they're in... <lmao>

I'm a big fan of them. I've got two now, but I've also got two MOE stocks. Honestly, both those MOE stocks are on quality milspec receiver extensions, and they're just as good as the CTRs. There's very, very little wiggle in them. Not even enough to worry about. Far less than a military issued Colt collapsible carbine stock, really. You can't go wrong with either one of them. <thumbsup> Here's my status right now - I ordered everything Friday night. Monday afternoon I received the Rainier Arms Billet Ultramatch upper receiver, Rainier Arms Thunderbolt BCG, and BCM Gunfighter large latch CH. In another box I received the American Defense Q/R mount for a mini red dot, along with the Primary Arms sight. This is the second PA mini red dot sight I've got, and I love it. I'm still trying to figure out how companies from east Texas and Washington state can ship me parts faster than a company in San Diego, considering my location. I'm waiting on the barrel still, and those clowns said they had my gas block in stock and didn't. I re-ordered that from someone else a little more reputable, and ordered the rail on Monday. I'll bet the rail beats the barrel here. <dontknow> The Rainier billet upper is a great match for this lower. Damn near a perfect match. The Rainier-branded BCG is made for them by Denny's Guns, and it's a full milspec-followed piece of kit. I foresee absolutely no problems from it at all.

Hell, much smaller parts than that have forced me into a full build before... :o <lmao> Jgun, I figured I'd push you over the edge with the offer, because I think you'll really like that trigger, and it leaves you an option to not eat $230 in the case that you don't like it. For me, it's a form of "recovery," in some way... ;D If I can start leaving the smaller parts alone, and only feel the impluse to build by having larger parts sitting without a home, then I'd be doing better... <laughs>
