New from Western N.C.

[Valleytown Shooter]

I am new to this site or for that fact any site.

I am an avid fan of the LR-308. I have owned mostly bolt guns and a few AR-15 but I have always loved the 308. I have since sold my AR-15's and bought a LR-308T and I am currently building a 24 inch version on a A3 upper.

Welcome

I too have an A3 upper with the 24" bull barrel.  Are you getting a custom barrel?  If so from who.

[Valleytown Shooter]

Right now I have gone with a DPMS barrel that is fluted and Teflon coated.

My budget requires to go this route. I was going to take my time and build a truly custom rig but I also have two daughters ( 18 mo. and 3 yr. oid ) that have decreased my funds somewhat, but that is life.

Don't I know it.  2 girls - 12 and 8; twin boys - 5.

You are a braver man than I. Two is it. I love them but two is all I can handle, they are almost as mean as there mother.

[babo]

not going there, sorry.

Yea my boys were an unexpected blessing.

[Valleytown Shooter]

No I am just joking she puts up with a lot from me and my guns.

[babo]

No worries.  My wife is more the don't ask don't tell type.  She doesn't even like to see me wearing my CCW.

Welcome Vtshooter!  Keep us posted on the LR308 Build and keep them kiddos in check, hey you can always build them some custom rigs  ;)

Haha, you think you have your hands full now....I bet you will think you had it pretty easy 12 or so years from now ;D Not that I know anything about that from personal experience though.  Keep us in the loop on that upper, I have the lr-308 with the 24" barrel already on it but I would like to make an upper around a custom barrel eventually.
