lakeracer69 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hello, FNG here. I've read a bit and wanted to get an opinion or two on what I want to build parts wise. I have a background as a machinist as well. I've shot for many years and have a decent handle on what MOA is, shooting MOA at distance and what that entails on my part. ::) I'm starting with an 80% Tactical Machining lower, no problems there. Leaning towards a complete side cocking upper from Fulton Armory with an 18.5" barrel with1:10 twist. Seems like a no brainer as it's complete and headspaced and looks to be in stock on their website. It would seem as though I'd have close to that price ($1135.00)or more invested in cobbling something similiar together myself ( I do know how to headspace weapons, but would need to rent the gauges as well). Precision Armament Brake Magpul PRS stock Slash/ heavy buffer DPMS LPK FCG? DPMS or Magpul mags ( any thoughts?) Leatherwood ART scope ( I have one and like it ) Bipod (undecided, never liked Harris though) Anything else I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Welcome- some of what would fill your blanks in with Mags- Magpul, period Fcg- Gisselle trigger with bad-ass safety( Battle Arms) Bipod- Atlas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeracer69 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Thank you both for the welcome. I decided on doing this a couple of days ago and started gleening knowledge about parts compatability issues and quality as I would rather buy once and be happy. I saw Brownells is out of 308 pmags, is there another source, go direct to Magpul? Thanks again, John H. in NH Edited November 17, 2013 by lakeracer69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Gotta admit. I've been a Harris bi-pod guy for years. I recently picked up an Atlas bi-pod. My opinion just might be changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
