thats a lot of rail real estate.
whatcha gonna fill it up with?
whatcha gonna fill it up with?
Going to put a bipod I have laying around on the front, the Zeiss scope on the receiver, and a ton of rail covers on the rest. Was practicing quickly going from different positions with that gun and the rails were like a cheese grater. There were bits of skin from my hand stuck in all the slots.
Have a really nice Surefire M600 Scout Light I won this year as well I need to mount to a gun, but I'll wait till I get a 16" or less upper for that. This rifle is going to be set up for longer range shooting. For now that Surefire will just stay in my nightstand. I still can't believe people actually pay $500 for those flashlights, they're awesome but it's still just a flashlight.

i have found a cheap rail cover in para cord. It might not look like it, but it is quite smooth and slick, but still give you good grip with or without gloves. also, it is wrapped really tight so that the cord spanning between the rails has very little play at all. i used a short dowel and wrapped the free end around it to help pull really tight.
i just started in one rails 'valley' and continiously went down to the next 'valley' until i reached the end and then went back up. if that doesnt make sense I can post a diagram or video.
you can skip over areas you want to attach stuff to (forward grip, bipod, ect.).
plus, you will always have emergency cord with you for whatever.
just a thought. obviously not for everyone.

Makes perfect sense, I might just borrow that idea....
Thanks.
Thanks.

Sweet.
nice. how much (or how little) does that charging handle clear the scope on the Grendel?
Surprisingly, it's closer to the PRS than the Scope
Here's my latest. Blue Star to whoever can tell me what it is/what it will become. It's not quite the same as a normal AR lower.
I dunno but that pinky ring has to go....
someone put a FAIL sign on that picture
m16A2, circa mid 80's?
Log,
Is that a .338 Lapua Lower? OR a .50 cal?

old gm hydramatic lower?
Close, but not quite there.
Colt slabside m16a1 lower?
Halfway there.
XM-177.
colt 601 with non captured retaining pins?
Blue Star for you.
It's actually a NoDak Spud 601 receiver. Pretty much a perfect clone of the original Colts, albeit without the autosear hole, since Uncle Sugar doesn't like for us peons to have the Happy Switch.
NoDak is the only manufacturer of Retro receivers right now. They make the 601, XM16E1 (partial fence), and M16A1 (full fence) lowers. Fit and finish is awesome. I've got a couple of their A1's and an E1 in my family pic that I posted a week or so ago.

I cheated by looking it up. What upper is gonna go on it?
I'm building a 601. If you look at www.retroblackrifle.com, it has pics and details of all the differences between the very early parts and the later parts. I've got a number of original 601 parts, and I'm slowly collecting the rest of the parts. This one is going to take awhile, since I want to be as close to a complete 601 with original parts as I can get. In the meantime, I've got a spare 604 upper I can slap on it.
So I found a dude who is willing to sell me some Wolf 6.5 for $16 a box. He paid $20.

The seller is in California and asked if I had any State or City ammo restrictions. I tried to reply with as little sarcasm as possible.
ok, so i am new to this. i have no stars so i cant search very effectively either. i thought i found a link on here the other day that detailed a build from the ground up starting with a complete lower. if someone can link that for me i would be much obliged.
also, i'm a south paw so i am looking for a left handed lower. i know stag makes one and i'm sure there are plenty of others out there. i just cant seem to find any. i have trolled some on the equipment exchange on ar15.com to no avail. anyone have any good ideas where to look for one?
thanks in advance guys

Not sure exactly what link you're talking about but here are 2 great resources I know of.

does anyone other than dpms and armalite make the ar-10 variant?
i'm looking to build one, possibly 2 for friends and am shopping around.
also, does anyone make a Left handed version?

In economincal versions, no. Higher end, Fulton, Noveske, and Larue make AR-10 variants. And CMMG makes several different styles of AR-10 lowers if you are interested in building your own.
Here's another "AR-10" source, SI Defense:

Supposed to be really good stuff. They make bolt carriers, too.

The RRA has been Vaporware up until this point. Not many of them out there.
Bushmaster also made one, but it was only in the catalog for a year or so. They had too many problems with it, so they dropped it.

Aren't they discussing Cobb doing more releases but in a strictly custom/Les Baer style offering?
