912dawg Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Hi everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been trying to decide whether to build or buy a .308 AR. After finding this site I've decided to try my first build. I can't believe how much knowledge on the subject is all here in one central location. This is great!
98Z5V Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Welcome aboard, man - don't hesitate to ask questions, if you're in a bind. Someone will help out shortly. <thumbsup>
unforgiven Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Welcome from Indiana brother.The more the merrier. :hethan:
912dawg Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Posted February 16, 2015 Thank you all for the warm welcomes. I'm sure I'll start picking your brains soon.
wetncold Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 NW Georgia here. I was going to build, but after getting prices on good parts, it was cheaper to buy. AR15 parts are cheap right now but the 308 parts are not. I bought a Windham Weaponry SRC from Bud's for $1075. No way I could build one for that price with the same quality parts ans a lifetime guarantee. You do any hog hunting? I am disabled now but I can still shoot. I had 2 liver transplants in '07. Pretty much knocked my feet out from under me. But I have more time to do gun work now! Welcome aboard from someone who barely beat you on board.
912dawg Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Wetncold, Thanks for the info man. Mostly deer hunt, but we've started seeing hogs on our property this year. Maybe with the help of this forum's members I can build something to help eradicate them. How about yourself? Do y'all have problems with them up in your corner?
wetncold Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Not really. If we did I am sure I would have heard about it. My bucket list has the helicopter hunt like you see on TV. That would be the coolest. I have an M1a that I built especially for hog hunting. Maybe my grandkids can use it. LOL
