Sent to me from @MikedaddyH - this is a great viewpoint. Watch this one.

Yes, that comment was highly fucked up. Somebody is gonna buy an "AR-10" and think they're gonna convert it to 30-06, 45-70 and .338 LM, just because that article stated it. Any nothing could be further from the truth.

GunTec USA does it. I have this rail in the small frame, on the 12.5" Grendel. "Mod Lite Skeletonized" https://www.guntecusa.com/ar-308?product_id=1761

Damn, I need to get back out there.

I can't wait for this beast to be in action. This has been a work-of-art in progress, brother. Unreal...

That guy looks like he did a Pete Rose headfirst dive into home, right there, faceplanted in the snow. Great work!

This thread is turning into an absolute goldmine, @Lane - you've done one hell of a job on the information gathering - and the posting of it all - and for certain, on the execution of the machining.

FUCKIN' LEO!!! HELL YES!!!!

They used to be. They've moved to Titusville, now. I've still got a bunch of issued stuff that's marked Vero Beach. Wouldn't get rid of it for anything.

Right on, man! I love a success story. Great work.

That extractor is it - check out what Johnny (Johnny's Reloading Bench) found with his Grendel extractors - same issue you're having:

I run these things now - work great.

16". If you end up with one, put a comp on it! It'll rattle your teeth with that shiitty Ruger FH on there.

That thing is a beast, man - it rips up anything within 400 yards with that red dot on there. Little bit of higher hold out there, but easy to get used to. That's a kickass rifle.

As far as non-ARs go, this is by FAR my favorite .308 that's not an AR. Ruger GSR.

Easy way to cure that, too - use Armalite AR-10 Carbine recoil system parts...

Okay, using their logic - if I buy one of these upper assemblies (since they say it's a "firearm"), how do I fire it?... If it's a "firearm" then I should be able to fire it (send a round) as soon as I pick it up (literally, in my hands), right? Nope, have to add an AR lower receiver and trigger group to the mix, in order to shoot it. Since the AR lower is serialized... what's the serial number of my rifle? Do I have to use BOTH serial numbers? This is fucking stupid, on their part. Purely ignorant.

They both shoot fantastically! One is a 16" .338 Federal barrel, "midlength" gas they say. It's Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas, in reality. Great shooting accuracy from it, even with fat Hornady 225gr SSTs going through it. The felt recoil is less than a similar 16" .308 AR. The other barrel is a 20" .260 Remington barrel, and I'm just under 100 rounds through it, all with load development. I've settled the loads now, and what I went with was sub-MOA for groups. There were several different loads that delivered sub-MOA through both these barrels. Gas port diameter was perfect on both, after sorting out the proper gas tube lengths.

Dude, you need a fucking Arms Room... not a safe...

I still have it in the bag!!! Christmas is coming, and I can "re-gift" it!!!

^^^ Yep, right there. The Woody is the one gun that I have with National Match irons on it, and I've got a 0.040" front sight in it. The hooded rear is a 0.030" aperture. The clicks in the rear are 1/4 MOA - you'll need to check yours, probably by shooting it, and see if you've got 1/4 MOA or 1/2 MOA adjustments on yours. All of this can be modified, too, brother: https://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1714

I've been WAITING for this news to drop, brother!!!

I have a Jard 2lb in a long-barrel 5.56 rig, and it's a good trigger. I've never tried one in a 700, though... BUT! I have a Timney 517 in a .308 bolt gun, 700 AAC-SD. The 517 is the flat trigger, right hand safety, and I had them set it up at 2.5lbs. That trigger ROCKS!

^^^ They're both right on the money. 5.56 NATO chamber has a longer leade, and you can load it to higher pressures (over .223 Rem ammo), with the longer leade. .223 Wylde chamber is a hybrid between .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO chambers. Here is a great explanation from Sierra: https://sierrabulletsblog.com/2016/03/02/5-56-and-223-remington/ Here's the ".308 Win version" of a .223 Wylde: https://sierrabulletsblog.com/2017/06/13/the-m118-lr-chamber-the-223-wylde-of-the-308-ar-world/

I'm not bad... But, I know this guy...
