Thanks for the tread guys. Here is what I put on order today. Buying two of everything because my father in law and I are going on this adventure together:
Magpul Industries PRS AR-10 Precision Adjustable Stock Black SR25 7.62 NATO Command Arms Interchangeable Pistol Grip DPMS Lower Receiver Parts Kit DPMS Buffer DPMS LR-308 MagPul PRS Extended Recoil Pad Vltor BCM Gunfighter Mod 4 Medium DPMS Buttstock Assembly DPMS A2 style Just need a stripped lower, a few mags, and maybe a nice trigger to finish off the lower. Now it's time to plan the upper. Decisions, decisions..... Update 1/12/12 Finished off the lowers. DPMS lower Magpul 10/20 Pmags Tried the Radlock but it does not fit well. I'll go back to the bullet button that came with the lower. P.S. building two. One for me and one for my step father Update 2/11/12 We have parts. Updates to follow.

for the Mk3 CMMG lower questions... grab the ar10 mag catch and your mag will not drop out no matter what... for the other issues I havent experienced them this is my 5th cmmg lower and only NOW did I have the mag drop problems adn front detent spring BS... I still love the lower Id buy another one. I just do not like the G3 mags.

Need a little help guys, so I bought a stripped lower from a fellow calgunner and it came with the bolt catch pre installed, there is no tension on the bolt catch - is it supposed to be like that? I am assuming no but I wanted to get confirmation from people who have 308 platforms already.
It almost seems like the buffer isnt big enough, can anyone give me some confirmation or help with this? Hopefully once I get this resolved I can post up my specs! |

There is a spring loaded buffer that forces the bolt catch down (releases the bolt) The idea being that while the gun is cycling rounds from the magazine, the bolt catch is held out of the way by that sprung buffer. If your bolt catch flops around loosely, I would guess the buffer and/or spring weren't installed. Hope that helps

anyone know of a brake with an outside diameter of about .75" ? ive been searching and all of the brakes ive been finding have an outside diameter of about .90-1" ? my rainier barrel is about .73" just before the threads.... im finishing up ordering everything for my .308 build, i have a feeling im going to have to get it machined to fit... and what say you about Fulton armory Titan chrome BCG's?
and sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, its coming along nicely, MEGA upper and lower, Magpul CTR, VLTOR tube, MIAD grip, and rainier 16" barrel. coming in the mail is the PRI CF handguard, MEGA trigger ( having second thoughts on this after a thread the other day) and an Aimpoint pro

Speaking of that, pardon the crappy cell pics but here's the progression of my AR308! Bought it off a Calgunner like this.... Then sold the barrel/stock/FH and stripped it down to this.... Add a PRS and wait 2 months for my barrel from Black Hole Weaponry.... Add in a Kies adjustable gas block and a JP large profile tactical compensator..... All that's left is the Geiselle SSA-E and an optic! (Planning on a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP MRAD in a BOBRO mount) As is obvious from the pictures, I've only got one PRS right now. Ordering another one this paycheck. Also, I'll be swapping the Larue bipod back and forth between the rifles as needed. There are some other small parts I'll be adding...scope mounted level, rifle mounted angle indicator, probably eventually a monopod, etc. EDIT: Realized my post didn't make sense, as I was referencing shared parts with my SDM-R, which I did not post (as it's not .308). So yeah....I have a SDM-R that shares the bipod, and I currently only have one PRS between the two of them which will be rectified soon. Last edited by GettoPhilosopher; 02-06-2012 at 11:39 PM.. |

This concerns me since my DPMS SASS barrel is stamped 7.62x51. Your thoughts?

But I don't think you'll have a problem. I have yet to find a DPMS 7.62X51 stamped barrel that would actually take a 7.62X51 headspace gauge. They headspace nicely with .308 gauges though. Let us know how it comes out.

DPMS needs to get their nomenclature straight. The barrels are marked 7.62x51, but their website FAQ says they only chamber in .308 Winchester. The SASS product page says 7.62x51, and the info page (here: http://www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=1999) says 7.62x51/.308. The barrel page (http://www.dpmsinc.com/store/product...=4865&cat=1763) is titled "18" .308 SASS Barrel Fluted", but says it's chambered in 7.62x51. Easy answer: Call them and ask.

Cool thanks guys. I called DPMS and spoke with Jason in their tech department. He said .308 is fine as long as I'm shooting American made brass. He said do NOT shoot that cheap Russian stuff in .308 caliber.

Also, I'd be careful using that receiver vise. That vise is made for working on sights/optics and for cleaning, not for barrel work. I've heard many stories of people cracking their uppers when tightening the barrel nuts down using that vice, so be careful.

Thanks lwbyo1. I found out the first thing you mentioned a few hours ago :-(. Glad I didn't find out the second thing. Ill take it easy when I get the Fulton phantom tubes I just ordered. Darn tubes look nearly identical.

Since when can you get DPMS lowers in CA???????????

The guys at SBR said this one is illegal in CA DPMS. But they sell a different model that is legal. Give SBR a call for more information. I figured if they are selling them they must be legal. The only difference I can notice between mine and the one above is that it does not have a panther stamped in the lower.
It's probably legal because the lower is coming directly from DPMS with a bullet button and a 10 round magazine. Found out why. Copied from CA assault weapons ban list. AR-15 Series Weapons American Spirit USA Model Armalite AR 10 (all) M15 (all) Golden Eagle Bushmaster XM15 (all) Colt Law Enforcement (6920) Match Target (all) * AR-15 (all) Sporter (all) Dalphon B.F.D. DPMS Panther (all) Eagle Arms M15 (all) EA-15 A2 H-BAR EA-15 E1 It's legit because it's not a panther lower.

Also, me personally, I wouldn't risk trying to use that vise block to do barrel work. I would just spend the extra $40 and get the DPMS 308 Receiver Claw. That's just my opinion.

I have a few 1/4 inch sheet metal plates I can trim up, and a few punches I can sacrifice to fab up a barrel nut wrench. Thanks for the heads up.

http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Fi...listed_by_name The law doesn't tell you what's legal, it tells you what is ILLEGAL. It's not like DOJ publishes a monthly update on what lowers are "legal in California right now". I don't mean to be an @ss, but someone asks this question every couple days. "Hey, any word on if the FS2000 is California legal?" Well, if it's not on the list, it can be made so by going featureless or grabbing a bullet button. Go read the list. :P |

MEGA MA-TEN upper/lower CTR stock ( may be switching this out in the future ) Rainier arms 16" barrel MIAD grip MBUS sights MEGA trigger PRI Delta handguard Fulton Armory Titan chrome BCG ( I know the sights are on backwards, was so excited i got my handguard in the mail today i just threw them on and spaced out that they were backwards lol ) Range report soon to come! sorry for my crappy cell phone pic, and not-so-flattering background drop lol

Almost-Final Update!
I've got my PRS and my Geiselle SSA-E installed, as well as my BOBRO mount in. All that's left is one major piece and a couple minor flourishes; I pick up my Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP MIL/MIL from a buddy on the 29th, and then I plan on slapping a Magpul RVG on it and grabbing an extra 10/20 PMAG to complement the Cproducts 10rd mag. I *might* swap out grips eventually. I like the MIAD with the index/middle finger rib, and I like a grip I've only had for airsoft guns but have seen on actual guns....airsoft version was called a "SPR Grip", and it's basically a kinda fat pistol grip with a thumb shelf. Anyways, I digress. Here she is. Receiver: JD Machine billet upper/lower matching set BCG: DPMS Stock: Magpul PRS (308 version) CH: VLTOR Gunfighter PG: Magpul MIAD Trigger: Geiselle SSA-E Optic Mount: BOBRO Precision Optic Mount Optic (pick up 2/29): Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP MRAD Barrel: Black Hole Weaponry 20" 3 polygonal rifled stainless steel 308B (standard profile, satin finish) Handguard: Troy MRF 308 13.8" quad rail Foregrip: Magpul RFG (Backwards for my personal ergos, to be replaced with RVG) Brake: JP Large Profile Tactical Compensator Bipod: Larue/Harris 9-13" LM-S and LT706 QD Swivel Mount Combo (this is LT's one piece chassis) Last edited by GettoPhilosopher; 02-13-2012 at 11:07 PM.. |
