FaRKle! Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Good info....I'm done with with Troy. The KAC sights will work very good for on this rifle. What are some good, light, .308 stocks? Doesn't get much lighter than a CTR, iMOD, or stock M4 carbine stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 With all the accessories available for the CTR, it is by far the lightest and most adaptable stock available. ACE makes the lightest stocks. Their fixed stocks all weigh less than a pound. I have used the ARFX and the ARFX-Entry, and they are both very comfortable on the .308 rifles.

SoonerFirearms Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 For optics, any opinions on the Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12x44 Illuminated Mil Dot FFP? I purchased this a few months back and put it on my Remington 700 6mm rem, but I'm thinking this would work great on this .308 build. I plan to purchase the KAC 45 degree sights also (future purchase) . Things are starting to add up quickly!!! The JP Silent Captured Spring arrived Friday, so the barrel kit should be here sometime this week. I've wanted to test/review the Silent Captured Spring to see if it's worth the extra money. I've read a lot of good feedback about it.... I wish Mega Arms would call to notify me that my MKM will be shipping out 3 months early. I shot them an email a couple weeks ago to confirm that the estimated Nov 29th delivery date is still accurate. They said they were still on track....Man I hope.

SoonerFirearms Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I got my barrel kits in....I need some help.....I was supposed to get them with JPs normal compensator. They came with the Recoil Eliminator on them...... When I get my Mega MKM set in, is it going to be tough to take the Recoil Eliminator and gas block off so I can get the Mega supplied barrel nut on. Is JPs Recoil eliminator going to have a lot more muzzle blast and barrel flip? I don't mind staying with the recoil eliminator....My only worry is taking it off and re-installing it. I'm not talking bad on JP at all....They have been great, products arrived fast, and their quality is awesome. I'm just trying to decide if I should stick with the recoil eliminator or go ahead and get their normal comp installed on it. Here is a pic of the barrel kit I just received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerFirearms Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 This is the comp that was supposed to come with it.... I'm thinking with a 18" barrel, the recoil eliminator might punish me....Please let me know what you guys think I should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone within 10 miles to the left and right of you, yes, but you'll be in the in eye of the tornado. <thumbsup> Edited September 14, 2013 by Matt.Cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Matt is right. You won't be making any friends at the range... Hell, it'll be hard to keep the ones you already have. The Recoil Eliminator is their very best brake. It brakes better than the Cooley brake. If you were going for absolute accuracy, I'd say stick with the R/E.

gnatshooter Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have several .22 builds and the ones with the Recoil Eliminator ('tank brake') are the most accurate. It's probably the most effective brake on the market. But yes, at the range and with a .308 it will probably knock the hats off of the people next to you.

SoonerFirearms Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sounds good....Recoil Eliminator it is......Now......? Is it going to be difficult taking the Recoil Eliminator and gas block off so I can put the barrel nut on? I want to make sure I get them put back on right..... What tool do you recommend for taking the Recoil Eliminator off? I don't want to scratch it all to hell...lol I'm not a newbie to firearms, but I am a newbie when it comes to building them. I'm a virgin with the .308 platform....I'm confident that you guys will help me get through this and answer all the dumb questions I will ask...I'm the type, if I'm not 100% sure on something, I will ask. I have never installed a barrel, gas block, compensator, trigger, buffer system, or LPK....I have only bought complete rifles until now....This is something I've been wanting to do so I can gain the much needed knowledge I lack with the platform. Since I'm a new FFL holder, I'm trying to learn the AR-15/.308 platform and learning everything I can about the 1911 platform. These are the firearms that I love. I'll shut up now....The 1911 I will tackle after I get comfortable with this .308 Thanks for everything....I'm sure this thread will continue for most of the year.....You guys have been very respectful, informative, patient, and helped me a ton. I'm relying on this forum 100%.... Again, thanks for everything.... This forum truly is the best one I've been a member of....A lot of the others have way too many rude, disrespectful doichebags....I don't see much of that with the .308ar forum.

98Z5V Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 What tool do you recommend for taking the Recoil Eliminator off? I don't want to scratch it all to hell...lol Upper receiver vise blocks to secure the upper. Appropriate standard open-end wrench for the brake. For little ARs, it's 3/4". For the big ones, it varies, but is usually 13/16" or 7/8". Some are custom/special/different. There's no written-in-stone standard, outside of the typical (but not always the same) barrel threading (5/8x24). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatshooter Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have two JP Recoil Eliminators, and neither one has flats for a wrench. Unless they've changed their design, Sooner will need another idea. What I did was put a screwdriver through the side of the brake and pull like heck. I'm not sure you can improve on that, other than wrap the scredriver in a rag first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Damn, I didn't know about that, and didn't catch it in the pics. Sorry, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerFirearms Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 JP told everything was installed hand tight so it shouldn't be hard to get off and put the barrel nut on... On a side note, Mega Arms contacted me today and said my MKM is ready for shipment!!! Finally, the wait is over. I still lack a buttstock, trigger, and LPK.....I bet this will push me a little faster to get these things ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
