Boot_Scraper Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Just ordered a Xanthos Lite 308 upper and lower set. Gonna cannibalize my Pa-10 and revisit that at a later date. Yes, the main goal of this build will be lightweight and compact. Planning on a Brigand Arms carbon weave handguard. I'm now on the lookout for sturdy yet light stock assembly. Before ya'll start busting my balls, I aint gonna be weighing take down pins in the kitchen and posting pics that include my crooked toes. I wanted to do a high end build so why not put it on a diet. I should follow suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Get out the coke scale and micrometer. Are you going with a 16” LW barrel or a shorter medium contour barrel? I’m a BIG fan of the new Faxon Big Gunner barrels. That barrel and a Ti muzzle device make for a GREAT swinging rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot_Scraper Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 @washguy The only PSA parts left on the pa10 are the upper/ lower recievers and the BCG. I do plan on using the BCG as it has the upgraded G2 extractor setup. It runs like a sewing machine. @Robocop1051 I'll be using the Faxon 16" pencil from the PA10. It shoots under 0.8 MOA and the headspace was GTG with the PA10 bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I look forward to seeing how this plays out. There’s absolutely no reason why this shouldn’t be under 6 pounds when completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot_Scraper Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 BCG should be here in a few days. I'll let y'all how it looks and try to resist the urge to weigh it (who am I kidding ?). Looks promising. Meanwhile, I found the stock I like/want: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since I've been this excited about something. Gonna try out that Elftmann Speed Safety, push button. Seems like it would work good for huntin. Here's a slim jim I weighed just before i ate it. Totally irrelevant but warranted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have the same kinestetic memory as I do with a standard selector. I still like them a lot, just not 100% comfortable yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
