Magpul MOE+ grip FDE

6 pos mil spec buffer tube
CMMG 308 carbine action spring and buffer

Thanks gents, definitely a fun way to spend time, as I've caught the 308 bug. Good luck and have fun on your projects, crayj. You can never have just one

That is beautiful, you got to try those 130 Mk 319 SOST rounds for stopping hogzilla.

The titanium muzzle brake looks like it was designed just for that barrel, sweet.

What's the final weight, less scope? Bet it is under 8 pounds, into AR 15 territory at 7 pounds????

You going to love that NiB Toolcraft BCG, cleans up so quick.

I know I've said I'm leaning more towards an aluminum 80% project but you sure make those poly lowers look good!

Thanks bsr, your posts have helped me a lot in choosing components. The Battlelink stock came in and she weighs in at 7.5 #.
I'd like to try milling some aluminum too sometime awp101, thanks.
