RoadW3 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Just dropped in to say hello from TX. I am looking to pickup or build a .308 based AR in the very near future. I own several 5.56 versions in different forms and my dept armorer on the 5.56 weapon system. Just got to figure out if it is best to buy and "add" on or just start from scratch and use some of the umpteen parts I already have to aid in the build. So far its been very informative and I have leared allot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Fate Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Welcome, from upstate SC! I can't really offer you any advice, being new to the 308 ARs myself, but you can be sure that somebody that can will be along shortly.

RoadW3 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Oh I have several LaRue items and like them but honestly their rifles are a bit out of my ballpark, even with several part times, the wife would not let me spend that kind of money on one. Maybe I need a new work rifle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadW3 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for all the welcomes. I am actually looking at the Mega set and picking up a DPMS barrel for it and the gas block of course. Then a BCG and use some of my AR parts I have laying around to finish the lower and getting a nice FFT and calling it good. I think I can get out at a good price and build it "kinda" the way I want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
