C Funnk Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yeah, just got the daughter off to college, and after years of her playing travel softball, thought I might save up some money. But just got into reloading also, so that idea's not working out so well.??. Oh well, should be a fun time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Funnk Posted October 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 What a great forum!! Been researching parts for a build and this will be a 300 yard and less rifle(at least for a while). So here goes a rough major parts list and let me know what y'all think. I am starting to order parts this weekend. ATX Armory receiver set Wilson Combat barrel(14.7 p&w or 16)and BCG SLR adj gas block and handguard trigger elftmann or WC TTU ubr stock and jp SCS Not too familiar with forums, but if this is in the wrong place, let me know and I'll move it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 It's not a big deal if it is in this thread, but you might start a new thread in the member's build area. That way your questions won't get overlooked in an introduction thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Skip the adjustable gas block - until you find that you need it. Skip the higher priced triggers, and pay the full retail 0f $125 for the LaRue MBT2 trigger. Crazy expensive triggers can/will come later, on future builds, and you won't regret getting that LaRue trigger. Skip the JP SCS setup, and go simple. UBR2 stock, Armalite AR-10 Carbine buffer (exact same thing as AR-15 Carbine H3 buffer), and Armalite EA1095 buffer spring. Start simple, with parts that work - get complicated later. One of my many mottos - Don't complicate shiit with complicated shiit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
