hiprimer Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 Hello. I just got started in the 308 AR world and coming from AR-15, it sure is "interesting". Bought a bargain rifle Palmetto PA10 with a 20" barrel upper. Making some mods / improvements so I can shoot it in NRA/CMP LR competition, just for kicks. Currently switching the carbine stock for an A2 I had on hand and have to get a LR-308 buffer and spring to complete that. Took out the MIL trigger and installed a spare Geissele High Speed Service Rifle trigger. Had some failure to eject which seems to have been fixed with a JP extractor. Rifle still needs a heavier buffer though. Adjustable gas block are prohibited under CMP SR rules but any buffer weight is OK. I'm looking forward to learning more about these "AR-10" type rifles.
