Albroswift Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Digging through the parts bin, came across a 12-1/16" gass tube. Primary Arms has low pro gas blocks on sale for 9 bucks. Good to go, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lr-308FUn Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I got the barrel first, it was a impulse purchase because of the sale price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube, so good on any .308AR "midlength" barrel that's not really drilled at midlength... 1 hour ago, Armed Eye Doc said: @98Z5V has the record with a gas tube roll pin. ^^^ That really did happen...

98Z5V Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I bought a damn gas tube that came with two roll pins. I didn't know what to do with the second roll pin, it's so damn small. I poured a little water on it, added a touch of MIracle Grow, and it turned into a damn whole gun in short order!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRiverII Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) "...started with" and ____________ finished? Started with and not finished, an idea. Bought all the parts a did nothing out of fear of screwing up. There's enough for three builds here. Didn't photo the stocks. and avoiding the closet of truth, or closet of shame. Way too much stuff being unused. Two uppers hidden, multiple lowers, barrels in tubes. Whoa!!!

Lr-308FUn Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Yeah it's kinda sad but I think that this Lr-308 build was the start to the end of my last relationship. She was more a liberal than I thought, suddenly wanted me to stop, well slow way down on my guns, not build any or shoot as much, so I took my b-day savings and built this 308. I still paid all the damn bills since she wasn't working at all 90% of the time we where together. Oh, well I think the gun Gods for saving anymore misery with her. I got a nice shooting rifle on a budget that I think looks good & shoots well. Thinking about rattle can painting it a cammo for hunting, since that's what I want to do with it. I did get a different stock also from that MOE stock upgraded to the Magpul ACS stock, like how it balances out the weight of the rifle & gives me a better cheek weld on the rifle.

I've been through three of them, while a member of this board, brother. Sweat it not. I've got your back. Only lost four guns in total, through them all, too. Bitches...

Lr-308FUn Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) I have sold 2 guns so far to build this beast, sold my Ruger PC 9 carbine yesterday & prior to that my 5.56 AR pistol build, that I really barely shot since I got my 14.7" PSA FN line AR 15. Sold when I was with her my Tangfolio 9mm pistol & my 16" 300 blackout rifle, it was a Anderson that I got dirt cheap. I made money on both but really didn't want to sell them. Hell my first relationship of 14 yrs prior to this one, I bet she had me sell well over 20+ pistols & rifles the 14 yrs we where together, she would hide the bills from me, mess with my account & her's & stop auto payments, let bills get behind while I am working 50-65+ hours a week. Damn women, why cannot I find one that likes guns, lol😁 Edited July 28, 2019 by Lr-308FUn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a two-striker on that setup. Lost 3 guns to the last 2, just because "they liked guns..." Don't put your money there, brother - if they like guns, they'll REALLY like YOUR GUNS... Ask me how I know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
