Phatassjay Posted September 27, 2018 Report Posted September 27, 2018 Still waiting on some rail covers but she's finally done. Thanks to everyone with all the info I needed. Took her out last Sunday and for a 7.62 the recoil was very manageable. Great gun!!
COBrien Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Is that a mid-gas rifle? I might know a guy who'd like to buy the OEM green furniture set from you...
Phatassjay Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Posted October 2, 2018 There was a guy on here a month or so ago that wanted the set too. Haven't heard from him in awhile. If the guy you know maybe has something in trade? I hate taking people's hard earned money if they have something around they don't want. Maybe we could work something out? The parts are from an armalite ar10a4 fixed stock as you can see and grip. The handguards are carbine length, I think 10 or 8 inches.
COBrien Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 The "guy I know" is actually me. I don't really have anything to trade. I mean, I've got lots of parts and whatnot, but the majority of those are my "one of these days I'll build a..." parts. Same as this furniture kit will be. I'd need a rifle-length handguard, which I'll source elsewhere, but I'm picturing a clone of my 5.56 Dissipator, but in .308... One of these days...
Phatassjay Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Posted October 2, 2018 Ok I had lost that old thread. I'll just give them to you. Can't take your money because that's just not how I do things. I'm an old army medic so my mantra is helping out where I can. Just let me know how I can get them to you.
Sisco Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 Congrats Jay, looks good. As you know by now, Armalites are great shooters. And everyone will be happy because your scope mount is not backwards!
Sisco Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 By the way, did you ever find some Gen II magazines?

Most appreciated, brother, but I can’t let you do that! You laid out your hard-earned cash for them! I’ll move this conversation over to PM so I’m not cluttering up your thread...

Then when I started finding parts it just took off. I did find some mags on Brownells site. Two 25 rd mags were about 100 bucks with shipping but I found this site where they have them for 35. https://www.galatiinternational.com/ar10-parts-and-accessories.html I took it out a week ago and thought it was going to destroy my shoulder but I gotta say the recoil is super manageable. I'm not a big dude 5'8" 140 and it was like shooting my 5.56, slightly more recoil but a much bigger boom! Absolutely love this thing. Thanks for all the feedback. Sure helped.

Lots of people here like that. I think you will fit in well here... especially if you have a twisted sense of humor. lol.

Guns help!
ARTrooper Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 I think guns are the cure for a lot of things. lol. Always good to have a medic around... never know when you are gonna have a bad hangover and need an iv.
Sisco Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 Galati is a good source for parts you can’t find any where else. That is a good find! At old prices no less!
