Ronin069 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Greetings,I'm generally a handgun guy, though for the past x amount of years I have used my trusted 30.06 for deer and bear season. It's about time to move to an AR type weapon for the field, but I am not comfortable with 5.56 for big game. My plan is to surf around this board enough to determine whether or not I have the ability to build my own .308. As a former Marine, my hope is that the level at which we field stripped our A2's will have me prepped for the general idea of what to do, but that may be rather naive?I'll guess we'll see. Looking forward to some engaging conversation, and I have been really please with the interactions I have observed to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr3db3ar Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Welcome aboard. Other than a few specialty tools, the AR is pretty simple in design. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired JM Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Welcome to da site dere, doncha know. Seriously, welcome. Building an AR, regardless of caliber, isn't hard. Building a GOOD AR is a different ball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin069 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcomes all...wondering, any of you know if a decent AR-Builder app for the iPad? I've tried searching but found nothing that has proved at all useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
