greenhornet-1 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share 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". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMAN Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Welcome! I too think it would be better to buy another upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr3db3ar Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Welcome aboard. I'm with EC on this. Another upper is the way to go. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty44 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share 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.
