New to AR-10 build

[Torin]

Well Gents, when it's inferred one is an idiot what do YOU do? When someone questions how you wish to spent your hard won monies and ones reasons how would YOU react? Never made a misstep in your lives either have you? I love perfect people.

I bought the recievers locally in town and only then went to the URL to see the price there and post a picture per a request. I believe it was shepp who kindly pointed out the platform in the product description and I wrote back and chalked it up to "inattention to detail." No harm no foul. Shortly thereafter a few of you decided to flame me in this forum. Only a couple of you have been supportive and positive. If this behavior is indicative of 3/4 of the people in this forum then those 3/4 can choose to not read and reply.

However, to the few who were supportive thank you, I look foward to sharing.

Here's where you fucked up, man - so learn from it and move on.

First, you built (assembled) ONE AR15, and then you think you're ready to tackle an 80% machining on a 308AR.  You don't know the details of the 308AR, and the problems, but you think you can just jump right in there - you should machine an AR15 first, in the grand scheme of things, and see if it comes out all fucked up.  If it doesn't function, stay away from the 308 version. At least, on the AR15, you have a standard to work from, and if it doesn't function, then you know the problem was YOUR MACHINING.  Nothing more...

Then, you jump into this statement:

Thanx for the reply. Logic states that if the lower accepts PMAGS then the minor list starts here:

Magpul UBR stock

Car-10 xh buffer and modified buffer spring.

Just because a lower accepts Pmags doesn't have a single thing to do with a UBR stock.  The Slash CAR-10XH buffer is good for the UBR, but you don't need a modified buffer spring  - just the Armalite EA1095 spring.  Slash even states that.  Your statement leads me to believe you got your information from the internet, and not from research of the parts manufacturer of the buffer you're looking at.

At that point in the coversation, you still hadn't posted the manufacturer of your upper and lower matched set, but you were looking for technical information.  When you WANT technical information, you need to give technical specs for people to go from.  You failed in that aspect.  Badly.

Next, you answered that - JTBILLET, for your upper and lower...

You asked technical questions about a company that nobody has heard about, and the answer what right on the company's website - you were not observant, and didn't know what you were looking at when you posed the question.  After that, you got a little defensive, and started slinging some shiit.

Now, when asked by a member why you wanted to spend that kinda money on an 80% set, when fully machined sets are available cheaper, that's when you went downhill...

For me it's about the build not the money involved. Any idiot,  background check and waiting period notwithstanding ,  can buy a firearm. But to learn and build one....PRICELESS.

^^^  You fucked up, right there - and you probably didn't even know it.  You've just been placed into the "I'm a Pompous Ass" Category with that statement.  After all, you have ALL the experience of assembling ONE AR15 under your belt.  So, you're a Pro...

After that, you get even more belligerent, and ask Wash if someone pooped in his Wheaties?!  Really?

That's when I'd had enough of your shiit.

At this, you have a couple options - and eating a big shiit sandwich is one of them.  Admit your mistakes, and go humble yourself in a corner somewhere.  Your mis-steps through this thread were just documented in my post, here, so you can read them and absorb them.  And hopefully learn from them.  At this point, the ball is in your court.  I highly advise you to not act like a pompous ass, and act like this is not a big deal to you, and you can build your 308 AR easily, no issues - you have alot to learn.  This isn't an AR15 parts kit.

Good luck.

THIS is the point in the conversation where most "know-it-alls" come into it and say, "I'm 60 years old, and I'm a tool-steel fabricator machinist, and I've been manufacturing complicated custom one-off parts for 45 years.  YOU DON'T KNOW ME!"...

And, we say...  "You never stated you had ANY machining experience prior to this, at all.  Thanks for filling in that blank..."

Don't be that guy.  We've seen that guy before.  And he still couldn't get his 308AR running...
