wurger Posted August 29, 2018 Report Posted August 29, 2018 Hello. I'm located in SoCal and am jumping onto the AR10 train. I've build a few AR's, but this will be my first .308. Took my first step last night and ordered an Aero Precision upper/lower/handguard with a desert tiger cerakote finish.
Robocop1051 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Posted August 29, 2018 Welcome from NorCal. Did you decide on a fixed mag or featureless yet?

Going with featureless. I don't like the compromises that come with fixed mag. I have grip fins on my featureless AR's, and shooting them isn't an issue for me. Plus, with featureless, it takes about 5 minute to swap out the fin grip if I'm shooting in a free state.

I’m using the Magpul MIAD with a finned backstrap. I can remove it in seconds and replace it with a standard backstrap. No special tools required.
wurger Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Posted August 31, 2018 My final configuration is a Magpul MOE Rifle Stock with a Sparrow Dynamics grip, both in FDE. Not a whole lot of choice when you are looking for Kalifornia compliant grips in FDE. I was considering fixed mag with the Juggernaut pin system, but don't like the thought of losing the bolt lock back capability.
Robocop1051 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Posted September 1, 2018 I don’t like messing with the functionality of my firearm. Adding any kind of delay to the mechanism is a safety issue. I had bullet buttons on my old rifles and I hated them. My go-to self-defense rifle was my Ruger GSR before any of my ARs. Adding a “fin grip“ was strictly a cosmetic change. I got used to the grip, just like I got used to a Glock versus a 1911. Once I quit bitching about how ugly and uncomfortable it was, I realized that it shot and performed absolutely fine.
DNP Posted September 1, 2018 Report Posted September 1, 2018 I really don't want to pin my UBR. You guys are killin me. I think I'm gonna have to.

Smarts prevails over lack of hygiene and social grace. Proof that being the ugliest guy in the room doesn’t mean you don’t know what you’re talking about. Hahahahaha
