Is anyone running a Delta PRI Tube on this .308?  I'm fairly sure I'll be swapping for a longer tube soon, the shorter one will then be up for sale.  :-)

I do have a concern since my DPMS upper is one of the lower variants.  Meaning the current rail on the PRI tube is about 1/16" (or was it 1/8") higher than the rail on the receiver.  The Delta tube has better clearance for gas blocks, I'm not sure if this translates into a higher rail... I'll be calling PRI.  I will also be asking if I can simply swap tubes, therefore the new nut and locking ring PRI will ship with the longer tube will be available nib with the shorter tube I intend to sell.

That delta doesn't match the receiver height of either generation. Its a bit higher. They have the SPR sleeve for the older "high" receiver to make it even...but not the "low". I spoke to Tony at PRI about modding my tube a little to use the top rail but it would leave 2" at the end and wouldn't really serve any purpose other than adding weight so I took a pass. I do want to put a delta on something though.

I need new photos now that I have a scope on it. Someday when I find time....

I digging where yours wound up blue. I'd like to do an AR-15 in FDE that makes a little sister to the 308.

 I am building some wood grips for mine. I'll send pics when they're done.

 

Looking forward to hearing some detail on that project, I'm having thoughts in a similar direction.
