Grey Wolf Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Hello, Found the forum looking for info on .308 AR's. I don't have one now but I'm not a stranger to the .308-/7.62. When Money becomes available I'll have one. I like the LMT MWS but that's champagne and I'm on a water budget at this time. Former Military, married. Love hiking, camping, hunting ( All things firearms), Military History, e.t.c.... Edited October 30, 2014 by Grey Wolf
EasyEJL Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 On a water budget, you can do a $1000 308 AR in a few varieties now.Welcome from FL, I used to work for a company out of Troy. Loved visiting to drive through Dothan and get some good BBQ.

Grey Wolf Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome! I should have said in my post that I do own two .308's now. Just not one in AR configuration. The first one in a M1A that I bought in the 80's from a local gun shop near Ft. Rucker. After it arrived we built the rifle to M21 spces. I'm old school and love this rifle but I also know what it takes to keep it running right. That's why I'm looking at the AR platform. I'm old school but have a open mind. The other .308 is a Savage Model 112. It's a shooter. I have two AR's in 5.56, one a A2 and the other the M4 type. When I first joined the Army I was issued the M16A1 and later the CAR16 the for runner to the M4. I could make 'em run but the matatince was high and the magazines were bad. I hated this platform. Many years later (around 07) I decided to buy a Bushmaster A2 model because the availability of uppers that could be switched out for 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC. But I found the Bushmaster to not have any problems in reliability department and believe me I tried it. I even fired 200 rounds of Wolf through it with a couple of GI magazines that I had left over from the old days. I was impressed to say the least. Life intrudes in the plans of mice and men so I haven't had the chance to buy a Grendel upper yet. I bought the Carbine also in 5.56 for lighter carry. I've stuck with the 5.56 and 7.62 because of the availability and military use. I know these rounds. Before I branch off into a harder to find caliber I'm gonna find away for the .308AR. I found this site by accident and liked the looks of it. I'll post when I can help but I read more than I post. Again thanks for the welcome.
