Olympic does forge their own stuff. Alot of people talk $hit about Olympic Arms, but there aren't any other companies out there forging their own uppers and lowers, and cutting their own barrels. Oly barrels are some of the most accurate out there, but people blow them off, based in "internet legend." Oly barrels are fucking accurate as all hell.

Nope. Doesn't matter though, as long as they're in spec. Final-Finishing is rarely a concern, unless everything is off and nothing fits. Is yours off?

....all depends on barrel twist, too... 5.56 is some finicky shitz from barrels all twisted up... These ain't no 5.56 rifles here, and the ammo ain't the same... Just sayin'...

Removing the brake isn't gonna do $hit for ya. Send that thing back to Ayan, and let Ayan fix it. Ayan said so originally, and said it was accurate, so Ayan should fix it and make it accurate. Dude, you've spent so much money, blindly, on this project. My comment above was quite-dickish. For a reason. Send this poop back to your super-builder Ayan and have him unfuck this rifle. Tired of seeing Ayan Ayan Ayan Ayan.... You had him do this, so have him unfuck it. At THAT point, Ayan will be the man.

Teachers need - TRAINING ON - LAW Rockets. I'll train them. Fuckface enters your classroom, hell-bent on killing everyone there, in the classroom. Don't hesitate, blast that motherfucker with the m72A2 LAW Rocket. When he breaches the door, unload right at the doorway. Have your kids back - they need to clear the backblast area. Put those little fuckers in the classroom bathroom, or get under ALL the desks. The backblast on this thing is no joke. Problem solved. Armed attacker enters classroom, gets turned into pink mist. If that's too harsh for public reality then maybe we need to put armed motherfuckers into schools to protect our kids. We do it for out money trucks, which are WAY more important than our kids...

I wanted to go there, originally, but didn't. He's been pimping that Ayan built his upper the whole time. I have no idea who Ayan is, or what his experience is, so I haven't said $hit about that part of it. Apparently, he's an experienced 308 AR builder, or it wouldn't have been mentioned in the first place.

Gas system, brother? Looks like midlength?

We don't have that choice anymore. It's been brought to our shores, and to our schools. We can't "wish" that away. All we can do now is find a way to mitigate it in the future. We can't prevent it - we can only hope to contain it when it happens. Not my choice, brother, not anyone's choice. It's already here. What to we do NOW?... Fight it. That's what we do. We can ignore it as long as we want, and we can "wish it away" by clicking our heels together three times... We can "want or wish" anything we want, at this point. That doesn't save our kids, in schools. Reality fucking sucks, doesn't it?

There are some times when billet is (or might be) a benefit over forged, but those times are few and far between. Rainier Arms makes a 5.56 Billet Ultramatch upper receiver, which is held to some pretty tight tolerances - the most important of those tolereances if the machining of the front face of the upper receiver - it the front face of the receiver is truly square and true, then the barrel mates up to it square and true - it's more accurate. Same thing can be done on 5.56 rifles by truing the front of the upper - no such thing is out there for 308ARs yet. Someone needs to make it. Here's the Rainier Arms Billet Ultramatch upper info: CNC machined from solid billet 7075-T6 aluminum which is 70% stronger than the commonly used 6061 aluminum and finished with milspec hardcoat anodize to a surface hardness of 60 Rockwell. Renewed design to work with 99.9% of all accessories, including; the Magpul BAD lever, Daniel Defense Lite rails and even features the pre-drilled alignment hole for the Noveske NSR Rail. If you want to build the best upper money can buy, look no further than the Rainier Arms UltraMatch Billet Upper. Extremely robust yet weighs in at a mere 9.3 oz. Made in the USA. Life Time Warranty against defects & workmanship 90 day - Satisfaction guarantee - 100% money back with no questions asked The most critical features are: Parallelism between the picatinny rail, main center bore and the centerline of the mounting lugs Perpendicularity between the centerline of the lugs and the barrel mating face (at the front of the threads) Flatness of the barrel mating face We are holding .0003 or better on all of those measurements. Competitor uppers are between .001 and .003 on the perpendicularity and parallelism. Configuration: A3 Flat-Top A4 Flat-Top - w/M4 Feedramps *** Upper Parts Kit Installed *** I have two of these uppers on my own rifles, and I can't say they're more accurate than a standard upper - but I CAN SAY that the two rifles with these uppers are fucking stooopid accurate. One is my billet ARF lower build, and the other is the 20" Woody National Match rifle. Both those rifles are fucking ridiculous accurate. The 14.5" ARF billet gun is the one we use to shoot steel at 575 with a red dot - bets against each other.

I don't know how far off that building is, but I'm picturing about 200~250 at most. I don't know what the camera angle is, but if my ass was sitting right there, I'd call 175 to the mouth of that building. That thing might be a hell of alot bigger than it looks in the pic, and be alot more setback, but I'm not seeing it. 175. Shot out.

About another 1 hour before the final stuff comes out of the oven.

By the way, that not 700 yards from this point of view. Just sayin'...

I'm down for that... <lmao> It's so close to his shop - he's gutless if he doesn't try it... That's full-on sprint distance-to-denial, right there... <laughs>

This was YOUR recon. Those tiny tidbits of info would have been helpful in your first post, not some follow-up post. Based on what you've presented NOW, I can only come to one conclusion. Well, maybe two conclusions, here. 1. You need to be FAST. 2. If you can no longer sprint for more than 200 yards, then you definitely need to start working out before you decide to shoot the "Range," Bro, you gotta get faster. Or, your range dreams are just that - dreams. If I were you, I'd start listening for calls to those local agencies - they're so close, you should hear them rolling out. Based on that, when you hear them rolling out, you need to sprint out of your shop and TRY TO RACE THEM. No $hit, try to race those trucks, every time you hear them called out. Hold on now, there's some truth in my posting... If you do this "training regimen" everytime those trucks roll out, one day you'll be at the point that you BEAT THEM... YOU WILL BE FASTER THAN (BOTH) THOSE TRUCKS, AND THEIR CALL TIMES!!!~! THAT right there will be the "Lance Armstrong" of incident response. Minus the blood=doping, of course (you can hit that if you want - achieve your goal faster, I guess). When you hit that point, Brother Shib, you should shoot that range. I'm not kidding. Nobody would be able to prove it's you anyway, with the outrunning of the response. You're safe then, man! GET IT!!! :banana:

I have so many Aero lowers and uppers on AR-15s that it's not even funny. None has ever been an issue. Now, based on that, I don't have an Aero .308 set, either upper or lower. I'd be shocked (like a Guantanamo Detainee) if any of their stuff was out of spec. They don't slouch. They only put out great stuff.

^^^ I'm with him. I'm waiting for the mainstream news article about a "teacher" shooting an armed school asssailant. What we'll never see is the real info that the particular teacher in question is a NRA High Master or USPA champion, or something like that. WAY more proficient than any local LEO would be, had the local LEO made it to the scene in time to do anything in the first place... (Not the fault of local LEO response times...).

...and this is not the AR-15. Not trying to start anything - many people think that because they've got experience on the AR-15, that they're good on this platform. Not the case. Wait for your info from Lilja on ammo, and wait for the info from your builder. On the bright side, had you built this yourself, then only person you could blame at this point is yourself, if it comes to a build question and not a barrel/ammo question. That's the whole reason I don't ever have anybody build my stuff - I don't want anyone else's hand in it, if it's wrong, because they will always say it's not their fault...

NATO STANAG 2310 was the ratification of .308 Winchester ammo into the NATO inventory, and that happened in 1957. That was ratified as the inclusion of the 147gr .308 WIn load as 7.62x51 NATO. It's 147 grain ammo. Pull one down for verification, because that's only what they say it is.

Ship that biotch to me and I'll see if I can print a decent group with it... :))

This is gonna be sweet.

Contact Lilja and ask them for an ammo recommendation. <thumbsup>

One way to find out. Depending on the results, I'll start with your Facepalms... <lmao> Nut up and shoot it. <dontknow> It's close enough to your shop that you should be able to sprint back before local LEOs arrive. I condone your chances... <dontknow> :banana:

Painting that Redi-Mag is gonna be a severe pain in the A$S. I hope that bastard works once it come out of the oven. Same thing for the EOTech - it's going in the oven.

Patriot Brown about to come out of the oven. Upper, lower, rail, receiver extension, EOTech hood. Mixed a custom color for the rest of the stuff. Tonight it will be assembled. Everything on the PB was mixed with the hardener at 24:1, so it's all flat as hell. Same thing gonna happen with the custom color. This will be a...
