New From Nor Cal

[outkastsl]

Hi,

I'm from Cali and I recently bought a TM-10 lower receiver and am collecting parts for my first AR .308 build.  I'm relatively new to firearms (bought my first handgun in March 2011) but am learning fast.  In my collection I have a Springfield 1911 TRP Operator Half Rail, RIA 1911 9mm Tactical with upgraded fcg, and an AR15 (CMMG Lower, LMT 14.5" with pinned Battlecomp 1.5). 

So far, I've ordered all the parts I want for my .308 lower:

-TM-10 lower receiver (bought from a local guy, PPT)

-TM-10 LPK

-Magpul UBR in FDE

-Magpul LR20 Mags

-BAD-ASS Ambi Safety Selector

-Phase 5 EBRv2/308

-DPMS CAR buffer and spring

Next month I'll collect/order parts for my upper which will be based off of DPMS A3 upper and a nice 18"barrel (maybe Rainier select 18"). 

I'll post pics of everything before, during, and after it's built.

Looks like you've got everything handled. Look forward to seeing the results. Oh, and welcome to the site.

Welcome! Sounds like a nice build!

I just moved to Fremont. 

Thanks all for the welcome.  Any suggestions for barrels under $300?  18" and reasonably accurate.

thanks edge crusher, the rainer select is on the top of my list and the fulton barrel is on the shortlist along with bhw.  Just can't decide.
