My First Gun

[psy101514]

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.

Thank you, thank you.  I'll be here the rest of the evening.  Sit back, grab a drink and enjoy the show.  Remember to tip your server...  <lmao>

 

That's an impressive pile of parts coming together!

Thanks. It took me 3 weeks to decide on this one after watching YouTube videos on it.

Thanks to everyone who's impressed on the build. Sometimes I think I went overboard by spending over $3000.00 for my first rifle.

You hand around here long, and we'll dent your retirement account.  Just wait for it.

$3,000??? What a cheapskate!!! Way to play it safe in the shallow end.... ;)

Hey now, that's without the bipod, scope, and the canted iron sights still. :P

[psy101514]

Here's an update on how a custom built NEMO Arms AR308 is close to completion.

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>

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>

[psy101514]

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.

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....

And another two years, he can get one out of the 2-quarter gumball machine at the pizza parlor.

[Rsquared]

See? So I guess there's really no hurry after all. Maybe I can get by with my inferior Atlas afterall. <lmao>

[DNP]

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.

[unforgiven]

Welcome from Indiana brother psy.I like Nemo,the .300 WM is going to be my retirement present to myself :)) .MGD is and aquired taste and after hanging around my thirsty...I mean really thirsty brother Ron I aquired it. :ecs:

[DNP]

If you can get past the first ten, I'm betting the rest are ok....just don't sober up or you have to start over. Is that the kind of "aquired" taste you are referring too? Lol

[psy101514]

Anyone know of someone that plates gold Tin for BCG's?

You talking about ARs?  Or beer?

[DNP]

Talking about this

.MGD is and aquired taste and after hanging around my thirsty...I mean really thirsty brother Ron I aquired it. :ecs:

AR's are a disease, similar to alcoholism. One isn't enough and ten is just getting started. My comment however was back to beer. Sorry.
