DPMS Sportical

[madmikes]

Im new to a 308 AR however I own several Ar15 s.Has anyone modified a Sportical 308 ,trigger,gas block,stock etc.Thanks

You can alter them, just like the any AR platform.Triggers & stocks are the same , buffers & springs are different . Free float hand guards are 308 specific.

They do make special 308 stocks in some cases, because of the length of the 308s charging handle, but that's not the norm .

Yes. I got a sportical for a good deal but it looked too off the shelf for me. I replaced everything but the bolt assembly, lower and barrel. It a great place to start you get a shooter and you can customize as you go. I will save you the trouble a regular AR-15 barrel tool will remove the barrell nut.

This was once a sportical.....got a some FDE magpuls and a FDE grip on the way. I am leaning toward the 308 ACOG in FDE. Get it and go nuts  <thumbsup>

Very nice .I will be looking for a bipod next.Keep in touch.Have you done any testing on what ammo it prefers?

[sccritterkiller]

Nope not yet....I will mosly use this for pig hunting so just about anything will work most shots are 100yds or less. Once I decide on a scope I will start working on longer shots.

I have a Trijicon on mine with the Arrow Head reticle. <lmao>

I love to shoot them with a bow. Problem is I can't keep up. This should tip the scales in my favor. ;)

Where did you get that dust cover

[sccritterkiller]

The dust cover came with the upper...I applied a couple coats FDE duracoat, same thing with the forward assist and you can't see in the pic but I also did the charging handle release.
