redbaron8 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hello to all! Red Baron here from Texas. I've been shooting for more than 40 years and reloading for 35. Been shooting DCM, skeet, trap, paper, dirt clods, tannerite, and damn near any thing else that didn't leave range mess. Got several AR 15's. And now I have an Armalite .308 upper. Now to build the lower. Gonna stick with Armalite for the receiver, but am open to suggestions as to stock (6 pos), trigger, and any other useful additions you all can suggest. Thanks for havin' me!

98Z5V Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Welcome aboard, Red - very good to have you. What kind of specifics are you looking for in the adjustable stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbaron8 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hi 98. I definitely want mil-spec, hate rattles. Like the ones I've seen with the battery storage, and the raised triangular longitudinal profile, so as to create a ?cheek piece? Sorry but I don't remember who makes it. There are a lot of trigger options out there. I demand safety and reliability, but I would also like target grade performance. I will use the rifle to hunt deer and hogs with, as well. Any recommendations as to buffer and spring combos are welcome as well. You know there are a lot of electrons running aimlessly around the Internet, many of which are of dubious value/veracity, so I figured the best place to cut through the smoke would be a 308 specific forum. Thank you , in advance for any and all help you can provide. And to the rest of you who wish to chime in, thanks, as well. Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponizer Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 If as you say that you want a trigger with safety and reliability, as well as target grade performance, i think Geissele is the clear answer, they have many options, just find the one that suits you...

redbaron8 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thanks, Weaponizer. I have heard a LOT about their triggers. And the friends I have who use the Giessele love them. Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi 98. I definitely want mil-spec, hate rattles. Like the ones I've seen with the battery storage, and the raised triangular longitudinal profile, so as to create a ?cheek piece? Sorry but I don't remember who makes it. Couple options out there for something like that. For storage of batts, you'd be looking at something like the MagPul ACS or the LMT SOPMOD stock. Those don't have the cheek riser, though. I think what you're looking at in that department it the MagPul PRS setup. Now, you can have batt storage, and get a cheek riser - use either one of the collapsible stocks mentioned (ACS or SOPMOD), combined with the LaRue Tactical RISR on them...http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=501That might work. Good discussion, man. <thumbsup> Fire off your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbaron8 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi 98. You are headed in the same direction as I am. I think you have nailed exactly what I'm after. As soon as I get it assembled, I'll shoot some pics and post results.Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
