imschur Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Ive been plugging along at this for months. It cost me a fortune to build it versus buying one outright. Im still waiting on a trigger. Should have the brand new American Gold SR-25 trigger in a week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Btw this is by far the heaviest rifle I have ever picked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I have a thing for .308's/7.62x51. My first centerfire rifle was an old Remington 760 passed down to me. Ive had the bug ever since. Now that Im old and wise I also like that its a NATO round. I try to stay with military calibers for ammo cost and availability. I do stray though on occasion though...

Madhouse Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I saw that Sportical, but I would want a longer, heavy barrel. I would lean much more towards what you've put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 That DPMS SASS is sweet but there isnt a CT legal version. The Fulton Titan's are very good. They come with Krieger barrels from the get go i believe. Great folks to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asmurff Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 imschur that is pretty cool. So how heavy is it? I've only done the some of the very basic smithing items, I would love to get to the point I felt confident in building my own rifle.

imschur Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I havent weighed it yet but it is the heaviest rifle I have ever picked up. AR-15's are very easy but the .308's are not quite cookie cutter and you do need to watch parts compatibilty. Armalite AR-10's and DPMS LR-308's are different animals. A lot is similar but they are not 100% interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
