Cakey Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hello all, I'm here specifically because I want to build my first AR 308 and am looking for a knowledgeable groupe of people to help fill in the many gaps in my internet education. I reload, own rifles, pistols and revolvers but no AR pattern rifles. That needs to change. I've shot AR's before but never own one. And I think the best way to learn about something is to jump in and make it happen. I designed my custom rifle and made many mistakes but I love her all the same. Anyways I'm looking to mitigate the errors of the past by listing to the input of those wiser than I. So i will be posting my build idea soon.

Ask lots of questions before buying parts. This group will not save you money, but they can stop you from buying parts that won't work together.

RedRiverII Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Welcome from Fla. Most folks are terrified of making mistakes. There are so many brave souls here that screw up and then fix the problem that they themselves become experts. I'm not one of the experts, I'm in the intermediate dummy pool. Best of Luck.
