TheBelly's Builds (.308 AR)

[TheBelly]

I can't actually call it an AR-10 because it's not going to have any Armalite parts in it, at least not on purpose.

I changed a gas block on another AR recently, so... since I have an extra gas block, I better build another gun around it. Seems legit, right?

Here's the list of parts that I have on hand right now that have been dedicated to this project:

Syrac Ordnance Adjustable Gas block
Rifle length gas tube
DPMS Pattern melonited BCG ( http://www.radicalfirearms.com/AR-10...08-bcg-mpi.htm )
upper receiver
lower receiver (this is a matched receiver set. I got this one: http://megaarms.com/maten/receiver-s...s/mts-4440-sa/ )
barrel (this one was sent to me for a very good price: http://megaarms.com/maten/maten-barrels/new-barrel )
handguard ( part of the receiver kit )
buffer tube ( LGS had a rifle length one for $12 )
lower parts kit
trigger
buffer and spring
pistol grip


Here's a list of parts that have been ordered:



Heres a list of parts that I have yet to order:






I will update this thread as the parts come in, and I'll detail how the build progresses. Please feel free to comment and discuss.

Totally Seems legit...

Yeah, I used that picture as an excuse. Wife didn't disagree. Silence equals consent (at least in building guns)

I try to use this logic with everything regarding my wife.



She's a lurker here, I'm totally getting slapped for that.

The BCG arrived a few days ago. It seems well built, solid, etc. Interestingly enough, it has a single-piece gas ring setup that looks like a spring. I plan on suppressing this gun, so not having to align the gas rings (or worry about it too much) is a bit of a blessing.

I ordered the upper, lower, rail, barrel, stock, and receiver extension.

upper/lower/rail is the Mega MKM set.

barrel is a 20" Mega match grade.

stock is a Magpul MOE rifle length.

I'm interested in how the mega barrels are. I used a fulton 18.5" rifle length gas barrel on my mega build and it shoots sub moa.

The Mega barrels are guaranteed to be sub-MOA..... Well, under 1" @ 100 yards, is the actual verbiage.

I just received the receiver set, barrel, and stock today.
