washguy Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 If JT is using it suppressed then that's the one...doesn't weigh much...go for that Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washguy Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) WIDEE so if you look that combo is over 3k ready to shoot..... we can save a lot on the handguard...im over those 250 rails .if you want to use one that looks great for a lot less... and the rifle is 3k without optics...that's just plain nutz Wash check out 2a machine....parent company of 2a arms http://2a-machine.com/capabilities/ Heres the deal if you are gonna get a truly nice receiver set/barrel from 2a you need to get their rail because if you don't ,matching the rail color/texture might not happen...and then what you have is a high dollar Frankengun....ive already got some decent rifles ...so ive been building rifles on the cheap....but you need their exterior stuff https://2a-arms.com/collections/lightweight-ar15-ar10-rails/products/xanthos-rails-308-m-lok 10 ounces on the handguard.....that's pretty damn light!

washguy Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 So you can ditch your adjustable gas block saving 100 bills and ounces at the front of the rifle by getting a low mass bcg with adjustable gas key....no need to take off the rail to adjust for gas pressure....sweet! and its made of ..Bingo ...titanium...weighs only 10 ounces or so https://rubbercityarmory.com/product/titanium-ar-10-308-win-multi-hp-calibers-dpms-carrier-only-w-assist-and-rca-adjustable-gas-key/ Ok then we are pretty much done shopping for the pricey stuff...then we go to the nickel and dime crap that adds up Well crap...I think Santa might be bringing me a Xanthos setup...or Xanax ...anything that starts with an x is gotta be ...what?
