gdcpony Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 A fellow Marine pointed me this way for any questions I may have. I am experienced with many types of weapons, but this is my first "large bore" AR, so sourcing parts and what AR-15 parts cross over and such are the items I have the most questions about. I purchased an LR-308 for a future project next spring. I plan to rip most of it apart to rebuild it into an "LR-257Roberts" if you will. I like the "Bob" for many reasons and I figure it would be an awesome semiauto hunting round. More punch than a .243 with the same recoil. First, I have to get my daughter to stop hunting with it so I am delaying the build until after the holidays (deer season). Until then, it will be her deer rifle over her .243 Savage. We love to shoot in my house and my oldest is definitely the most active of them. Here, a picture is worth a thousande words right? So here is the best intro I can offer: My oldest on the LR-308 she wants to reduce deer populations with. My middle on the .243 My oldest on her favorite gun And myself on my favorite weapon.

Robocop1051 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Welcome to our little hangout. I love when dad's get their kids involved. I can't wait for my son to get big enough to play (only 7 months) We'll get you pointed in the right direction whenever you're ready to build.
