washguy Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi Guys Well..Char and I went to the machine shop and spent all afternoon there. Yes there are over 500 ar 308 lowers ready to go to the platers.....and a lot of interesting other things! We shook hands on a non disclosure agreement,so I cant give some details of the business. he is just starting his uppers too! so...no problem with the ar3 logo...hes checking on screen names for serial numbers might have to include one numeral in it? All lpk's are stainless and he makes them cept for the selector,but he is going to start those in the future. His finish on some are slick type black...doesnt match dpms or mega finish which is a sandblasted finish he said.....but he will finish them to match if we want....a sandblasted matte black to match the fulton,dpms, ect ect.....his question is how many will the forum members want if his sample given to a secret top dog member passes review. do any members want a ar308 lower that will accept a BAR mag so you can shoot really big bullets like winmag stuff out of your ar? this can be done and still use every standard ar 308 part so bare with me guys...im working stay tuned.....and gimme input :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'll figure out a way to do it, but I'd be in for two of them. I'd be in for the large mag. Something 30-06-ish at a minimum. .30 Cal Long Action over Short Action, and I think it's a winner! That's awesome news, wash!!! <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 98Z the large mag ar is in the future but i did fondle one that a BAR mag slipped into....dont know when they will be produced....he said its no big deal to machine them,but first there are 500 normal type ar's on the floor right now.....these ar 308's accept dpms style mags and ar10 mags both new and old type....and with a simple diy mod to an m1a1 mag it will work in this lower too ....btw the lowers sold to the forum will have the lpks included! :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'd still be in for at least one of the short-sction lowers - easy to build. On the long-action variants, something to consider will be the sourcing of the upper (he's making them), but also the bolt (bolt face diameter), bolt carrier (length), buffer (length and weight), buffer spring (proper tension through length, number of coils, wire diameter), barrel extension (must fit new bolt face diameter), chambering the barrel, etc. Long action ARs will require a longer bolt carrier, which still has to function inside the common constraints we have in the receiver extension length - that's the backbone of the whole operating system. Otherwise, we're be hunting for someone to make us custom, longer stocks, etc. Not gonna be easy, but other companies have already demonstrated that it's possible. Food for thought.
