Woody Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I love building 80% lowers so I decided to do a .308 version. I was not expecting the lower recivers so be this alike when milling, I was able to use the same program from my ar-15 for the 308. Anyway here was my first ever 80% build, I have sold this upper and used the buttstock assembly on my 308 build. I decided to go a different route with this rifle. And here is the work in progress of my 308 before milling after milling currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Figure I should give some details about this build: TM 80% lower DPMS upper Midwest Industries Gen2-SS 15" rail Magpul MOE rifle stock DPMS panther-style grip BCM mod4 charging handle Primary arms 30mm scope mount Mueller APT YHM lo-pro gas block Champion Bi-pod DPMS LPK with JP enterprises trigger and hammer spring Will get the recievers and handguard cerakoted Burnt Bronze, and the only parts I still need are the BCG and Barrel. I was looking at the Rainier arms barrels or the Mega Arms Barrels. Have not decided what I want to go with, but I know I want a 20" barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Pretty sweet. Is it staying uncoated for the build? I was pondering doing that sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Pretty sweet. Is it staying uncoated for the build? I was pondering doing that sometime. I will be getting the recievers and handguard cerakoted Burnt Bronze here with in the month. Took me a while to find a cerakote guy that would be willing to handle the 80% lower. My first 80 lower i did my self with alumahyde. Blasted it and baked it in an oven. It turned out ok, but after a while is started to look bad and chip in some areas. Thanks everyone for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 The painful wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 The painful wait. I know right, my buddy got his back in a few days. But he was doing a big run of that color soon anyway. He told me 1-2 weeks for the burnt bronze, also doesnt help that christmas is next week. and I have not decided on what barrel to buy. have it narrowed down to these two: https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2692 https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=4120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hope you're not in a hurry. Both of those barrels are showing as not in stock. Part of the 308/AR10 pain of finding parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah, not really in a rush. I have been on a budget for this rifle as I just did a full build on my yamaha quad...that cost me and arm and a leg so trying to recover from that still.

Rsquared Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I understand. Rifles can be their own drain for cash on their own. You mix in quad's..........and you're done. Just ask 98Z5V. <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Just got it back and kinda put back together. This color is hard to photograph, and I am not that good of a photographer. The color is Burnt Bronze Edited December 23, 2013 by Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
