greenhornet-1 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 New here from middle VA. I currently have an lr308,24" bull barrel ar. It's very accurate but very heavy also. Ben thinking i need to rebarrel it to a 16 or 18".
edgecrusher Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 welcome and can i instead suggest a second upper? maybe a 16" carbine dedicated for a second purpose? it maybe more expensive but gives a go to with the pull of two pins <dontknow>
unforgiven Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Welcome from the midwest brother greenhornet-1 yea what brother edge sez,then you got a 2 /4 1 <thumbsup>
CMAN Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Welcome! I too think it would be better to buy another upper.
planeflyer21 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Welcome from AZ greenhornet!Just get a whole second gun, as you'll end up with one anyway.Don't ask me how I know.Jon
fr3db3ar Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Welcome aboard. I'm with EC on this. Another upper is the way to go. <thumbsup>
Dusty44 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 My solution is probably for a second shorter barreled & lighter rifle with the lower modified to match the lower that is on my 24 inch bull barrel rifle. My own efforts to locate a second upper indicate that for an additional very small cost difference I can have the benefit of all those spare parts that comprise a functional lower. If anything ever breaks or wears excessively, I will be able to use either lower with either upper as needed while parts are on order or repairs are being done.
