FNG LR-308 onwer

[zabo]

Hi, new LR-308 owner here.  Just got a brand new LR308 in a trade.  It has the factory installed Quad rail and 24" Bull barrel (yes this thing is big time heavy, lol).  Already read through about 15 pages of this forum and got some good ideas.  Here is a list of my 1st upgrades, opinions appreciated.

-Scope: have a nice new Buckmaster 4.5-14x40.  Think i'll use this for the upcoming dear season.  maybe upgrade it to a true sniper scope later.

- Trigger.  have a Timney 4lb in my AR15, love it.  Will probably get the 308 version.  Understand you can go bothe ways, AR10 or AR15 systems..

- I want to put on a PRS ASAP.  I understand this is a straight swap out.

Any other must upgrade items.

So, is it an AR-10 or is it an LR-308 ?

These are two different rifles.

Based on his description it's the LR-308. As far as I know, the AR-10 doesn't come with a 24" bull barrel but I could be wrong.

Only if you have a fixed stock already. If you currently have a collapsible stock, a few new parts will be needed.

Sorry it's the LR-308, I'll edit it. 

It's a fixed stock. 

I took it to the range and shot about 80 rounds through.  Overall really nice groups.  Only issue I had was it would not feed all the time.  I am pretty sure it has to do with the mag's.  It seems the bullet has to be all the way back, if they are a little forward it won't feed.  This happened at least 6-8 times. 

I am definitely getting a new trigger, the stock one is definitely not my style.

Welcome from Indiana brother zabo.I think that the LR-308 models need a little break in time for parts to mesh from what I have read.
