zinner Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 So Far,Mega MA-TEN upper and lower with the stock DPMS lower parts kit. The plan is a Magpul PRS stock, JP 12.5 guard, Rockmount Bipod from Brownell.From Fulton Armory, 20 inch SS, NM, Stainless barrel (non threaded), they're BCG assembly. More pix as I progress. It's my first build of a rifle. I also am in the market for a sub 500 dollar scope to complete the gun. I will mostly be shooting 200 yards at the range and hopefully hunting with it someday.

zinner Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Here she is. All put together, going to take her to the range this weekend. I don't have the PRS stock on yet, I ended up with a carbine buffer by mistake, so I ran to a local gun shop and got a Magpul MOE on the cheap just to get it finished up.

zinner Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Here is a picture with the Magpul PRS stock all installed. I took it out to the range last week. What a blast! I had a couple epic jams because of the brass catcher bouncing the brass back into the bolt. My other rifle is a used Mini-14 so I had a large smile on my face when I was spinning the metal targets 2 or 3 times. The mini would just tip them.I bore sighted up the scope and I have some match bullets coming to handload for the next time at the range.

zinner Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I will also say the larger rear stock really helps the balance since the barrel and hand guard are both fairly heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinner Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I just wanted to report I went out to the range with a few rounds of 150gr soft point rounds. I am very happy with the accuracy. My only comparison is a mini-14 which isn't very good over 100yds, but I got it locked into about 3 inch groups after about 20 rds. I have some 135 GR Sierra HPBT match rounds to hand load, but I am having trouble finding reloading data on 135GR 308 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinner Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have had about 200 rounds through the rifle at this point. It's preformed flawlessly for me. So thanx to Mega Arm and Fulton Armory for draining my bank account. <thumbsup> At least it was worth it. I have gotten a few compliments and questions on the rifle at the range.
