Right now I've ordered the 2A upper and lower the 2A handguard 15in wish it was a 12in but it's super light at 10 oz geissele ssa-e trigger got everything because of Black Friday sales probably saved over 200 plus dollars now I just have to figure out what Barrel I'm going with I am thinking of either faxon or juggernaut Krieger are just too expensive I know you get what you pay for but I can't justify an $800 Barrel pretty sure I'm going to be going with the JP Enterprise BCG from what I can tell I'm going to be going over my $2,000 budget buy a couple hundred dollars but besides that BCG and Barrel everything else is small dollar amounts here and there what should I do if my buffer system does it pay to go with a lightweight BCG?

WIDEE   THE Faxon or the 2A....dont go off the rails here....get that rubber city bcg tunable and a cheap micro gas block since you are regulating gas at the bcg...stay wth me here  dude I added up your $hit   youre under budget  why would you go off on an 800 dollar barrel??  $hit man im texting while driving....trying to save ur azz...and you go off the reservation?:laffs:at least you didnt get the parts you are thinkin about....I had you a Rise drop in trigger for 80 bills and you buy a geislie trigger?

WIDEE      I added up your lightweight high dollar build....and it looks as though your making money...how did you do it?:banana:

so for all the 2a stuff the Xanax upper lower matched set,2a match grade barrel, their matching light weight handguard,....low mass rubber city bcg with adj gas key,Rogers super stok...Rise drop in 3.5 lb trigger.....  we be at 1656...    spring...buffer... mag release bolt catch kit from 2a...muzzle brake. mil spec buffer tube castle nut ...back plate...that should be matching color from 2a and yes they have it... lunch money   ...done!

Anybody using the 308 juggernaut barrel it sounds good. the price is pretty good too $300 for the barrel cerakoted black from everything I read really accurate too. light also I think 34 oz

That's over two pounds, heavier than the Faxon barrels!

Yep it's two pounds two Oz but which Barrel is better faxon or Juggernaut the latter of the two from everything I've read is a very accurate Barrel especially for the price so far with my roughmath I have my gun coming in at between 6 1/2 and 6 and 3/4 pounds with scope mount 5 rounds in a 10 round mag that should easily put me under 9 lb which is my goal just not sure I'm which Barrel I should go with or if you guys have any other suggestions I'd like to keep it around that 2 pound Mark give or take a couple ounces

The 2a barrel that fits and looks right. Shoots sub moa good price

that 2a upper lower and rail are a special color black don't mess it up ...use the 2a barrel that comes with the 3k rifle you are building for 1800 bills give or take      Wash

WiDEE      the Faxon is under 2lbs which is what you are looking for.....so go google the black Friday stuff 16" barrels under the weight of the faxon...but the Faxon prolly is the one....Pencil in qpq...good stuff ....get an adj low profile low weight gas block with gas tube.

Im liking the Faxon 16'' gunner 1.9 pounds to the pencil 1.78....... gimme that gunner behind door number 2 please !          Wash

I agree 100% and you will gain Nothing with two more inches of barrel except weightall the hunting you will do from 0 to 500 yards the 16 will do very very well

Wide    sorry I was abrupt with my answer.... I was texting you this reply in a school zone.... So I had to be careful

Well it was night school.... Daaamn

Okay lets talk this out...... Get the fukkin 2A barrel     :laffs:    Wash

Omg   even a rifle length gas system

  • 2A BARREL –18" 2A contour lightweight .308 profile, 4150 gun barrel steel with QPQ Nitride, black oxide extension, rifle-length gas system, .308 Match chamber, 1 in 10 twist,
  • This right here is in Dikstroker territory
  • The 2A-Armament innovation continues with the Xanthos-lite .308 rifle.  Built with an abundance of 2A manufactured quality components.  This fully assembled rifle weighs in at 6.75 lbs, which is lighter than many AR15's.  The same high manufacturing standards and craftsmanship that 2A Armament is known for are extended into this platform.

The gunner from Faxon 16 " mid gas sweet barrel....fuk it get this one. the gunner Faxon...its qpq so it Should have the same color and finish........kept me up all night on the pros and cons of a barrel:laffs:and your handguard will damn sure cover the gas block and most of the barrel IF its different in color....qpq should be the same...but look at the other 2a parts thats some serious finish work and very very black              Wash

Get The 2A car buffer tube back plate and castlenut kit.....there are cheapo ones that msa or may not be in tolerance

an ar 15 mil is what you use     .https://2a-arms.com/products/buffer-tube-assembly-ar15.

...7 inches inside length but it you use an ar308 spring/buffer combo in it

so this company also has an ar10 buffer tube assembly https://2a-arms.com/products/buffer-tube-assembly-ar10          this is where you make damn sure of what you get...cause different springs/buffers go inside different buffer tubes

which will be the same as their ar15 buffer tube 7inches inside,,,UNLESS they are really using an ar10 tube which is a tad longer ...then you use a ar15 spring and buffer...BUT I doubt this is really an AR10 tube...I would email or call them....ill bet they are the same...Even mfg.s don't label or understand ar 308 vs.AR10   so you can get buffer tubes ar15 and 308 springs and buffers to go in it....this is where folks fubar their stuff to where it wont cycle...wrong spring wrong buffer or both.....yes 99 bills is high.....but the rest of your build is high ....don't cheap out ....lol     Wash 

look at this    shim kit for buffer tube   https://2a-arms.com/products/buffer-tube-builders-shim-kit-ar10

98Z would chime in here with his 25 cent stack trick........this tells me get the ar15 kit    .https://2a-arms.com/products/buffer-tube-assembly-ar15
