Savage referenced in the first post...

Upper looks like the DD 308 rifle, kinda...

Know the best thing about 300BLK, Snake? 110-grain supersonic through 220-grain suppressed, all from the same rifle. Check it...

Gonna be good!!!

If it's the first Saturday of the month, then it's this coming Saturday, 7 Jan. I work until 3pm on Saturdays, so I don't think I'll be able to check it out, on this much of a short notice - especially after busting out of work last week, for most of a week. If anyone local can check it out, lemme know. It's off Hwy 74 towards the lake. West on 74 off the I-17. This does NOT appear to be the Ben Avery facility.

Found the build thread on it:

That looks alot like my Woody 5.56 NM build. I purchased my furniture from Precision Firearms, but I'm not sure if they are making it anymore - you should definitely contact them to find out. http://www.precisionfirearms.com/ Here's a link to a thread on the topic: Here are more potential sources, if you can find the source of the pics: http://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2016/02/03/pictures-great-looking-wooden-furniture-ars/ Freefloating it will be coming up soon - I've had an Armalite NM freefloat tube for several years, and the details of machining out the wood handguards to fit it will be happening sometime this year.

Haven't seen either gen from them in person - only way to find out is either contact them, or start scouring pics on the 'net. Don't trust everything you see on the 'net, though - someone might say they have a "Gen 2" because the guy that sold it to them told them that's what it was...

DPete is awesome for brass - great to do business with.

Battle Arms stated that for liability reasons. They put a "lawyer pin" in the body of the selector, so it won't fit in a lower that doesn't have a notch to clear the pin - BECAUSE... the markings wouldn't line up... Some people might not know, on the 45-degree selector, if it's pointed at FIRE, or SAFE... Buy the BADASS 45, grind off the lawyer pin, and have at it.

That's great CS, right there.

I've been very happy with Criterion barrels, and the two Faxon barrels I have are top notch as well. Can't go wrong with either. Wilson Combat is on a short list, and one of their match barrels will find a home on one of my builds very soon.

With the serial number...

I think I fixed the link... That link is hosed.

I'm in.

YES!!!

I think you'll get THIS...

Still running the "rubberized" Multi-Flex version of the Butler Creek covers. They do pretty well. There's a specific model line for them. I know you can tell the rear cover from the older plastic style by the color of the flip lever. Plastic version is a red lever, the newest "rubberized" Multi-Flex version is a yellow lever. I don't know how to tell the fronts apart, except by model line number...

That's badass, Roman - thank you for posting that.

We owe Roman a BIG tannerite boom, so we need to think of something good for this trip - it all goes!!!

16" rifle gas, AND the YHM FH - that's one of the very best at eliminating muzzle flash, seriously. That's a damn good deal.

Damn sweet boomstick, brother.

This guy is screwed... I should send him a gas tube roll pin...

What's too small? The pins on the backside of that? Pending what APF says - and they should offer a damn wrench if their stuff is so special, or different - is an adjustable spanner wrench.

The pins on a standard AR armorers wrench work?
