Touch up would be hella-easy, too. Header paint, BBQ paint, whatever.

There's a height difference (height over bore centerline) between .308ARs and AR15s. The Front Sight Base with bayonet lug os made for the AR15s/M16s/M4s. As far as I know, there isn't a company out there making a front sight base for .308ARs, which would require it to be taller than the AR15 part. Hence, the information that "you can't do that" is probably true, but it wasn't given to you with an explanation as to "why." If you built your .308AR with a 20" barrel, DPMS-based rifle gas system, and a .750" diameter gas block area, then you could install an AR15 front sight base - but you'd never be able to use that, with a flip-up rear sight on a .308AR. WAY different sight planes. It would be off exactly the difference between the height over bore of an AR15 and the height over bore of a .308AR. The only cure that I know of, for you, is a very, very specific mount, made by Geissele.

It's not lazy, man, not at all. In reference to mils, most scopes now have turret clicks on 0.1 mil increments (0.36" @ 100 yards), third of an inch is easy to calculate in your head. 500 is 1 2/3 per click, five thirds. The math goes well, but not like MOA and 1/4". Just make sure you look at the turret markings and the reticle, make sure they match. There are several scopes out there that are mil turrets and MOA reticle, or vice versa. Might have mildots in the reticle, and 1/4 MOa clicks on the turrets. That just sucks. I will say this, though - don't ignore a modern scope just because of the price on it - there are very, very good scopes out there that do not have the price of a NightForce, S&B, USO, etc. Athlon is another company that's just killin' the scope market, and not charging you the price of a good used vehicle...

I will find out. I've known this for a long time, since his popularity exploded - but that fuqr was in a mud hut in AFG beating the shiit out of a guitar with a buddy singing along, and it was fucking HILARIOUS!!! It was song after song, too, like a mini 2-dude concert, with laughter-tears flying everywhere...

I am DOWN WITH THAT, BROTHER!!! ALL THE WAY!!! You don't need a shoot date to get down here and get busy, either brother - ALL THE TIME is your time, and you are always welcome. Mi casa, su casa. If you could get down for a scheduled shoot, though, ... THAT WOULD BE FUCKING EPIC, BROTHER!!! Anytime, and I mean that, and always will. My home is your home, brother.

I have a long story on this, but I need to meet him again and confirm. I was in AFG on a deployment with this fuqr, and in some downtime, he and another guy were going batshit crazy on a guitar and singing- something about getting ass-raped by an alien... in a mud hut... in AFG... I need to reach out and find out the details. There is no other fuqr in 2/75 that was doing that - but him. It HAD to be him...

I love me some Sweet Baby Ray's, too - I think Neil slammed us for that?...

That's quite common around here - there's absolutely nothing to be sorry about...

Here's the PA 4-14 ACSS HUD DMR 308 scope, on my Rem 700 AAC-SD bolt gun, shooting elevated shots at distance - Matt literally handed me the gun, and I shot it. When he handed it to me, I had to ask him if it was already chambered... Climbed the hill. Sight through scope, estimate range, quick mental calculation on the elevation difference vs. observed distance - bang, hit. That's what a BDC scope can do for you. Or, just plain mils or MOA, with practice on them. BDC isn't mandatory- but it's quicker, when you know it.

Are you hooked on a BDC setup? You want something in mils or MOA, specifically, and will run your drop in mils or MOA at distance? I'll take BDC all day long, when it works for my load. Estimate the range and shoot - nothing is faster, once you know the reticle. I won't hesitate to run mils on other cartridges, though. I run mils on 300BLK, 25/45 and Grendel. Running mils on the .260. I'm comfortable enough with each of them, for their drop at distance, that I can "BDC" the mill drop right in the reticle for medium ranges (600-ish yards for some, 800-ish yards for others). That will be a determining factor. I have something in half your budget that is very, very good. However, my original recommendation for that cartridge still stands. PA 6/5C scope. For the cost of it, and the performance you're gonna get out of it, you can't go wrong, definitely. This was a brand new Grendel build, no rounds through it. 12 rounds to re-zero the PA mil-dot scope I raided from the 25/45, 10 rounds of confirmation on steel at 100, and it went right to 500 yards. Here's the confirmation target at 100 - rounds in the mouth: Here's the 500. Round #23 was a first round hit, low right. The next one was confirmation. Slight sight shift, and 8 more. That's just holding the mils, not dialing the scope in. 3.7 mils at 500 was my calculation, so I held about 3 3/4 mils. Bang, done deal. Need to know your preferences, now that the budget was revealed. By the way, that's a $225 PA scope there. Rifle on the right did the shooting, with the 16" barrel. Same exact PA scope on the rifle on the left, the 18" Grendel. They're both lasers.

^^^ What they said...

Glacier Black, brother. Graphite black is also a satin finish, but comes out with a hint of gray - like graphite. If you were doing H-series, I'd tell you Armor Black, then mix the right hardener ratio to it. That's the blackest black I've ever seen. Blacker than Triple Black Black Double Black. It's Black...

Yes, to an extent - zero information is in there for different cartridges, in order to get them to line up with the BDC. It's all listed in the individual scope instruction manuals.

I'm not shooting those bitches again. It caught up with me yesterday. They are wicked.

You determine the finish based on the C-Series you order or apply. They are what they are. On the H-Series (bake), I get to determine the finish based on how much of the hardener I add to the mix before I spray it -I can make it gloss, semi-gloss, flat, WAY flat - based on the ratio of hardener I add in the mix. C is what it is, so pick the right one. Your barrel ain't gonna get hot enough to smoke some H-Series (bake), at all, brother - especially black. It just ain't. You're not doing full-auto mag dump after mag dump... H lets you pick how your finish is, in the ratio...

C-Series (air-dry) would be best, to resist heat - but how hot you gonna get that thing? I've done barrels in H-Series (bake on, less heat resistant than C), and they're fine. Don't "auto" them like you would a suppressor that just eats heat, and it's not a big deal... C is more heat resistant (air dry). H is more abrasion resistant (bake on).

They're gay - they realized it was a hotlink to another site, and shut them down. Same shiit PhotoBucket assheads were doing for so long- until they realized it hurt them in the long run, and people dropped PhotoBucket completely because of it. Strange, my old PB pics show up again, these days, and I haven't used them in years, due to that. imgur will get it, someday, when they have nothing, after saying they were a "free hosting site." That's what it is... Detected "hotlink" to a 3rd party location. Fuckers.

You'll want it coated P USSY PINK, right?...

I'll Cerakote that motherfucker for you, for nothing. That sounds like a badass barrel - buy that bitch and send it to me, and I'll coat it and send it back. Nothing, brother.

I just want to touch on this, for other readers - someone's recommendation for a product is one thing - your lack of knowledge on a product is another. If you've never heard of a product that's been out there for two months or 10 years - that's not on the person that recommended it. That's on you. Just because "you didn't know" or "you didn't hear" doesn't mean anything... Get educated. Look for reviews online (everywhere, EVERYWHERE, these days). If you don't know about something, they get yourself EDUCATED, and put some of your own time into the research on products. Specifically for carverelli: I handled that new 6/5C scope a few weeks ago, and it delivers. You don't have to take my word for it, though. My basis for evaluating PA scopes is deep with experience with them - even if you've never heard of them. In a direct quote from you, I hope the same:

I've been using them for 10 years. I've never had to send anything back to them. Not once. I'll have to count how many optics I have from them, because I have no idea. I'll bet it's close to 15. I have one of their red dots on my 45/70, just so I could see how long it would take to kill the red dot. 800 rounds in, it's alive. That is STOUT recoil, and I never imagined it would make it - and it's WAY not in their warranty to do that. So, it's alive... You do what you want. I told you the best scope for your 6/5C. I'm putting that same scope on my .260 Rem.

11 pages into this thread before it was wrecked. Ran this bitch straight into the ditch,too, hard left and pinned it... THIS IS A FUCKING RECORD!!!! No other thread has ever, EVER lived this long, and stayed on topic as far as this one has... HAD... Kudos to you, that helped to derail it - you fucking slackers let it go WAY TOO FAR, and should have been on this a longass time ago... This thread serious is THAT record... Longest without derail... Longass thread that lived a longass time deserves a longass derailment video, to commemorate it!... WAAAAAAAIT FOR IT...

Oh, it is... Get with me on your plan -post it up. I'm on #5 now. I can give you loads, drops at distance, whatever. It's a magical cartridge.

Shiit, this is easy. Hit up the Primary Arms 6/5C scope,with BDC. Done deal. Show me another scope that 6/5C specific. https://www.primaryarms.com/pa-3-18x50mm-illuminated-ffp-rifle-scope-with-acss-apollo-6-5cm-reticle I gave you mad details on this thing in this thread of yours: Next...
