Wondering if any of you have exp with building an AR15. I would like it chambered in 308, keep it more tactical than a bench set up. Bushmaster? DPMS?

I know there are a million options but I was looking for feed back and ideas. This is something I can piece together over time and have fun with building

Oh I have a few I have built. I think i have maybe 6 or 8 lowers I have waiting to be built. I would like to build a 308 but the loweres and parts are kinda high.

other than a lady in a bikini I can't think of anything more sexy on a blanket.

If you have suggestions I am alllll ears!

AR15.com

Naw really the site is good from building to tech it is the best. Just spend some time on there its all there.

I will help all I can but take a look at what is on the site I recommended and lets chat if you want.

Model 1 sells some nice kits but there has been a backlog.

as long as we can video it and send it to PETA!

Seriously though that would be awesome!

Busting dogs here.

You should have seen grandma back in the day!

I don't have any video but back in the day my grandma was one mean chick, drove 3/4 ton 4 x 4 trucks, has LOVE & HATE tattooed on her knuckles and carried. Of course that was just my mom's side, my other grandma taught me how to farmer blow when i was 8, and was an Okie during the depression. Damn tough women, I believe my mom could still out work me to this day!

Kinder, that is awesome. Tough women rule.

True story, My grandmother on my fathers side smoked nonfiltered cigs till the day she passed and could skin and process a White Tail Deer before the meat was cold with one hangin off her bottom lip. She also split wood for our wood burning stove well into her 80's and mannnnnnnnnn that women could cook!

Maybe we should change the thread to My Grandma Could Kick your Grandmas a$$ OR Whoes more Redneck? I don't deny my redneck roots...proud redneck blood pumps in these veins!

I don't have my AR any longer but I still have my AK! I have a brother who has his FFL and has manufactured a ton of them. He moved recently and is just getting back into it so I have him getting me another AR in the works. Count me in for the Prairie Dog carnage!

I've only got the one. A DPMS "MilSpec" I picked up right after the election. Completely coincidental. I was in the market anyway and wanted to beat the price increase. Which I did, seeing as the same rifle was selling for 600 MORE than what I paid only a week later.

It's pretty much bone stock with the only addition being a rail system on the front. Still rocking the carry handle too. Have been planning to pick up an EoTech but Bronco parts have been higher on the priority list.

Dave, how do you like your ACOG? I ran one on my work gun for about a year until the EoTech 552s came out. Haven't looked back since. But most of that choice was based on sight picture acquisition time being better, for me, with the EoTech.

While we're on the subject of guns, 1911 guys? I'm going to make the drive to Golden one of these days to visit a guy. He retired out of my organization and now spends his time tricking out guns and running a shooting course. I've got a Commander model 1991 Colt I would like to get spiffied up.

Billie, I've got a guy you might be interested in talking to regarding building your AR-10/15/.308. For that matter, I might just pick his brain and disseminate the knowledge to the board. Anyone here ever toyed around with...carbon fiber barrels?

"Dave, how do you like your ACOG?"


I love it.....for a Chinese knockoff.

Actually does a great job out to about 300 Yds if you don't mind dumping a couple of extra rounds on a dog. One shot kills out that far is every 3 or 4 dogs. For most of my fine shooting, and one shot kind of hits I use a more useful scope such as a 4X12 Leopold on a bolt action.
But that is for a more serious take your time kinda situation.
I do have the more refined AR I built recently with a competition trigger and the 24" barrel etc. I will be putting a variable scope on top of it. Just haven't had time to work on it or dial it in.

I will need to look at my 1911 for the Brand. It is 50+ years old and one of my favs.

Springfield Loaded model here. My primary carry piece. If/when I get the Colt tuned up, I may transition of to it instead.

"With CZ, the corporate structure to develop the company properly now firmly exists and it now has the brightest future outlook it has ever had. All major components, management, development, manufacturing, marketing and sales are now in place for Dan Wesson firearms to develop into a world class company. With the union with CZ, Dan Wesson Firearms is now positioned with the recourses and personnel to make it a top manufacturer in the global firearms market. This history will continue to step forward with new and exciting products and innovation from the excellent people of CZ and Dan Wesson Firearms."

I wonder if Dan Wesson's acquisition by CZ in '05 has had any effect on quality control over there.

They seem like decent pistols, or at least should be based on the price.

zillacon wrote:Any of you guys own a Dan Wesson 1911, that is going to be my next purchase for my collection. I originally wanted a Kimber as I have heard good things about them until I was shown some manufacturing qualities that are not so good about them but Dan Wesson makes some nice Shiznit!

Impossible to go wrong with a Wesson and the 1911 is a classic...maybe the best auto pistol platform ever made. If you like Kimber check out Para, they make a hell of a carry piece as well, in a subcompact 1911. You'll pay for it but quality in a good fireams is worth every cent!

True enough...thats why I bought the XD40 Subcompact from Chad. Good price, durrable and a hell of a pistol. Works nice for a CC

I love all the gun related signature lines. Ugly74 over on CB.com had one of the best ones I've seen. "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well armed sheep contesting the vote."

i freakin love my kimber 1911. i just have the base model custom 2. so smooth and dead on. has about a 1000rnds through it and not a single issue.

so whens the ccb shooting day?

So i just got a christmas bonus. trying to decide on what to get. Anyone have any sugestions in the 700$ range. Im thinkin about the new ruger SR40 or a taurus judge. I currently have a 9mm, 380, 45, 357, and various rifles and shotguns. Anyone have something thats fun to shoot? I'd go for an AR but the prices are still retarded.

That is a great price. It's a mini version of my fullsize kimber.

Great. Like I needed one more forum to check on a daily basis. Thanks guys!

zillacon wrote:The Judge is cool for certain situations and just to have. Ive got one if you want to shoot it. For that price range I would get me a AK47 hands down. Fun as hell to shoot, reilable as hell and when crap hits the fan I'll grab that before my AR15. 5280 has some good prices on them as well. You can get them with folding stocks, dragonoff stocks, drum mags etc. I welded up some 1/2" rotaing target and my Ar will nock the paint off but my AK will melt nice holes in the metal.

My dads got a judge. It's such a fun one to shoot. I have a mak 90. Another fun one to shoot. I just cant decide on what to get.

Do I really NEED a Carbon 15 5.56mm "pistol"?

Even if you have to ask, you probably still need it. That looks like it would be a ton of fun to shoot, not to mention intimidating as hell if anyone ever turned up in your house uninvited.

Mucho fun factor with that gun. I've toyed around with the carbine version a bit and was very impressed with the empty weight of the gun; being as light or possibly lighter than the MP5 with full magazine.

Okay AK fanatics, Romanian manufactured gun with two mags, pretty much stock with a couple hundred rounds through it: 400 bucks. What says you?

Just to clarify, this is a gun I am looking to buy.
