build complete

[dbwalker]

well except for the scope that's on back order, did the dura coat yesterday thinking I would need to wait at least a couple days before messing with it "wrong" dont think I could of waited another 5 minutes when I got home from work today

with the exception of the Juggernaut lower receiver this rifle is pretty much all JP, JP upper duel charge with their super match 18" barrel,  used the JP easy trigger, low mass carrier, silent capture spring, ergo grip, waiting on the vortex viper PST 6x24

[DNP]

Sexy!  I really like the color. You don't see it as often anymore. 

[Malig8r]

Way to go DB! She looks great...can't wait to hear how she performs at the range.

 Whats up with the notch cutout in that one hand guard vent  or is that an optical illusion ?       I like the color too .

it's like that on every other vent closest to the receiver, for reaching in with an allen wrench to tight it down

Good looking rifle, that is the SPR sort of set up I am working towards on my maiden 308AR build. ;-)

Well done!

[98Z5V]

Ummm...  that's not an SPR setup...

[GreyGoose]

..."sort of set up"

• SPR  (In a .308AR format)
• Flat top receiver
• 18" (or longer) free floated threaded barrel & handguard
• Fixed butt stock (I have a PRS)
• BUIS (He will have something I assume, I have Troys)
• Optic (He will have an optic, mine is yet TBD)
• Bi-pod
• Suppressor (He has a MB, I will run a can) (Another reason I liked the LMT bolt)

Maybe it was a bad comparison, just how I related to it.

Thank you for the clarification 98, hope my explanation makes some sense.

SPR - first, "Special Purpose Receiver."  Later, it wasn't just an upper, it was a whole "Special Purpose Rifle."

Way off the mark, for yours.

Read and learn.

Why don't you hop in that thread on ARF, and ask them if you have an SPR?...

[98Z5V]

GG, get out of this guy's thread with that, and start your own.

 

OP, damn good looking rifle.

[GreyGoose]

Will do, sorry for the confusion.

[Magwa]

I agree that is a sexy looking rifle just out of curiosity how much does it weigh? well done DB.

not sure yet, by hand though it feels a little lighter then an 11lb rifle I have, probably in the 9 to 10lb range unloaded right now,  & that's with the bi pod off

don't think I would call it a SPR, but I do look forward to running a can on it, it's got a JP adjustable gas block so I can turn it down when I have the opportunity

[planeflyer21]

Simple, beautiful!  I love it!

Ya probably a poor analogy, looks great.

 

 

[Rsquared]

Nice! Way to go DB.

[TomVMurphyTX]

The black bits really make the green pop. Nice balance and the color looks great on that platform. 

[unforgiven]

Good looking rifle brother,I'm a big fan of the handguard going close to the end of the barrel.Bueaty.

[dbwalker]

finally got it to the range & broke it in, gun ran great, 2 boxes of 168 grain federal gold was superb, going to try some of the 175 grain gold next time, I only shot 5 rounds of Aguila 150, it was pretty bad "not surprising" 2 boxes of Norma 150 grain & it wasn't to shabby "pleasantly surprised", the gun ran with out a hiccup, I need to turn the gas down a little but other then that it was great, barrel break in & first shots through a new build always have me nervous & on high alert from past experiences, it wasn't until I got it home & did a final cleaning & inspection that my nerves settled down about this build, looking forward to sitting down for some longer ranges with this rifle & running some of the other good stuff I picked up for it, cheers all

thanks guys, ordered a Phase 5 bolt catch/release & an SLR rifle works gas block for it today, discovered using the side charger that if left it in the rearward position my thumb takes a hell of a beating when I hit the bolt release, also a big part of the reason I wanted that side charger was so that I could shut the gas off & basically run it like a bolt action when I want & also to adjust when I get to put a can on it, the JP gas block is more of a set it & forget it as compared to adjust on the fly, so I'm looking forward to adding those two parts to it, I'll throw the JP gas block on one of my AR15's
