psy101514 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) NEMO Arms Battle Rifle AR-308 Built it from purchasing the billet matched receiver set from Nemo back in July and this is what I ended up with so far. The parts you see are obvious from the images and yes that's an SR Gold Trigger. What you don't see is the JP Adjustable Gas Block, and the Rainier Arms Raptor Ambidextrous Charging Handle. Now if you're wondering about the Magpul PRS Butt Stock being carbon fiber, it's vinyl wrapped. If you want to make it more appealing to the eye, do this. Clean the surface of the cheek piece free from oils. Spray a polyurethane semi gloss clear on it. Then vinyl wrap it into any color you wish. Hope that helps.

psy101514 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks to everyone who's impressed on the build. Sometimes I think I went overboard by spending over $3000.00 for my first rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psy101514 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Here's an update on how a custom built NEMO Arms AR308 is close to completion. Edited August 20, 2014 by psy101514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Did somebody say bipod? Have you seen this one...? http://eliteiron.com/bipod/ R^2 was supposed to be the first member here to own one of these lovely pieces, but he's gone soft and would rather drink MGD and play with his dolls than build fine fire arms. I used to really look up to the guy...he was kinda my idol. <lmao> Edited August 20, 2014 by DNP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Now how did I know that this was coming? Just for that.......no cool dolls for you this year at Christmas. You're just gonna have to play with your old blow-up ones instead. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psy101514 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Now that's a bipod. Unfortunately my foregrip is triangular and would make my gun's bodylines look odd. I'll probably get that one for another build that I'm planning. Edited August 22, 2014 by psy101514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Holy rat poop Ron-man! Did you see the prices have gone down?! They start at $625 now. At this rate, you might save $100 if you can tolerate the harassment for another year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 See? So I guess there's really no hurry after all. Maybe I can get by with my inferior Atlas afterall. <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 You'll survive. I'm sure of it. Just like beer, you don't always have to get the best stuff to enjoy it. Some people just really like MGD....I'm not sure what's wrong with em, but they like it. Could be worse though...at least it's not bud light. I sure wish you would purchase that bipod so I can give up this bit. It's getting old even from my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One isn't enough and ten is just getting started. My comment however was back to beer. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
