98Z5V Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Damn, if there's any left on Friday, I'll grab a bunch of it. That's a great deal, brother - thanks for finding that! MagPul MBUS Pro Offset sights will be here Friday, and the Primary Arms 1~6 scope will be here next week. Don't know if I'll get a chance to zero the iron sights this weekend or not, but I'm gonna try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Ran some weight numbers on the Pig Puncher, thus far. It doesn't FEEL this heavy, I swear! The Coke-Gram Scale has a max weight limit, so I broke a few things down - which is a benefit. Individual weights on a few key parts. PMag 20, loaded with 20 rounds of Federal Fusion 200-grain .338 Fed rounds = 25.40 oz Lower receiver assembly, complete = 44.50 oz Upper receiver setup, NO BCG, NO charging handle= 66.55 oz BCM Gunfighter 308 charging handle, Large latch = 1.40 oz D Wilson BCG, complete = 17.65 oz Beachin Tactical sling, WITH QD sling mounts = 6.55 oz Total on the gun, as it sits in the pics = 162.05 oz. That's 10.128 lbs, with a 20-round mag of 200-grainers, loaded. NO sights yet. The MagPul MBus Pro offset sights come in tomorrow, PA 1~6 scope and mount next week. I'll update those parts-weights, and re-total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Pig Puncher is DONE. Sights/Optics mounted. It's finished, after too much time... I'll get optics weight up in a few, and update the thread, then it's done. Nothing left for it, but fucking up some pigs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 What are you running for a buffer and spring? Anything special or just standard 308 parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Armalite. AR-10 Carbine receiver extension, EA1095 spring, AR-10 Carbine H3 buffer (exact same as AR-15 Carbine H3 buffer). That's all I'm ever gonna run on any 308AR Carbine-stock setup ever again, after what I found with the long (internal) Aero Precision receiver extension, when shiit didn't quite work right. No more messing around with the Big Carbine Buffer parts,brother... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Optic/sighting weights. And some notes. I'm using the Primary Arms 1~6 scope on this, and I originally planned on the 1~8 for it. Money got in the way, literally. The 1~6 was $269, and the 1~8 was $379. To get it done right now, I went with the 1~6, only for money reasons. Later, way down the road, this will get the 1~8 on it, and I'll update then. For now, and for money reasons, the 1~6 will do. On that same note, I grabbed the Primary Arms Extended 30mm mount for it, and it was $60. That saves me over the American Defense mount by a hundred bucks. Eventually... Now, the instructions in the Primary Arms mount kit states 15~20 in/lbs on the scope cap bolts, then 40-something in/lbs on the rail mount nuts. Not worried about the strength of the rail mount nuts, because they're stout. The mount went on the rail to "tight," then 1/4 turn with, literally, a quarter in the slot. Done. Mounting the scope in the rings - I don't play with that stuff. The guys that just came out will tell you that, when I mounted Matt's Vortex scope. I've got a Snap-On torque driver that goes 5 in/lb to 40 in/lb for this business. Now, PA states 15~20 in/lb on those ring bolts... I figured I'd start at 15 on all, then go 20. Well, I went 15 on all of them. Done. Just from the feel, I don't know if I'd want to go 20in/lb on them all. Again, this is INCH/POUNDS, not higher at ft/lbs. I can see people now with their Craftsman automotive torque wrench just fukkin'some shiit up... Just a word of caution, men. Nothing more.

98Z5V Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) So, we're looking at 25.70 oz for the scope, mounted in it's mount, and 3.90 oz for the MagPul Offset sights, as added weight to what I offered as a rifle weight before. That was 162.05 oz, loaded with a 20-round mag of 200-grain Federal Fusion rounds. Grand total, all optics and sights, loaded with a 20-round mag - and Jacob's sling - is 191.65 oz, or 11.978 pounds. I'm happy. Edited February 5, 2017 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) 560 days to completion. That's bulshiit. I won't take as long on future projects... Still faster than the AR-45 deal, though... Edited February 5, 2017 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old district sales manager quit his job cold-turkey, and moved back to the family business in central Tejas. As soon as we can work out a trip, I'm working for him, for free, and ridding him of as many piglets as he can handle... Oh, and beer...

I have used that same PA mount for near three years now on both 308 and 5.56 with no issues. I did give it a little time with the lapping compound to even out a couple high spots. I go 35 in/lb on the rail mount and the same 15 in/lb you went with on the rings but after I lapped it I gave them a touch of blue loctite figuring I would not need to mess with them again. It has been an issue free mount for me, a bargain for the money! I had to grind just a touch off the lower front to clear the barrel nut on my M-15T upper when I moved it to that rifle.
