    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    ^I got the upper assembled with forward assist and dust cover for $134 shipped. TM wants $200 for a stripped upper. They also want almost $50 more for their lowers. I'm pretty set on AeroPrecision for my lower unless PSA gets in the game in the next 2 months. They put it all out there at...

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    Helluva offer... With luck, I'll be home around then (currently deployed in 5th Fleet).

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    Bought another piece... assembled AERO .308 UPPER RECEIVER. Still have to buy the stock body (still unsure), lower receiver (probably AERO), charge handle (AERO), BCG (undecided), and barrel (RAINIER ULTRA MATCH). But I guess money-wise I'm 1/3 done money-wise. Being Tax-Free right now...

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    And Trochlea... I'm hoping that the combination of the new Aero receivers and whatever PSA releases here pretty soon really drives the innovation for the DPMS platform. PSA had a .308 on display at Shot and it was all the rage for a month... haven't heard anything yet and some people on the...

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    Thanks for the responses to this thread... wish I'd come back and read them before today. I bought the next round of parts for this gun... yes, the DMPS tube (comes with barrel nut)... wish I'd known about the wrench thing. I hope I can borrow one locally. Somebody in Hapton Roads has to...

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    Just got my birthday email notice from Midway and also used a $30 off $200 code. Bought the Cyrac GenII adjustable gas block and gas tube, a DPMS LPK, Hogue Grip, and a few other odds and ends. Gonna get the fore-end later this month, BCG in Aug, and stock in Sept. When I get home, I should...

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    I'm taking everything onboard. After doing some more homework on the usefulness of a muzzle brake on a .308 semi, I'm going to skip it... maybe even just get a thread protector and skip the flash-hider altogether... definitely change the "look" of the gun. I'm also reconsidering a fixed...

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    Your advice is excellent. I thought I'd found all the different receivers currently being offered and can't believe I missed the Aero. At half the price of the Mega, all my bells&whistles wish list just became possible. Am I missing out on anything going with the forged Aero vs. the billet...

    .308 Semi-Build on a budget... sanity check?

    I've shot some very expensive bolt-actions over the years... all owned by buddies of mine that are way outside my budget. Heck, their scope rings cost more than I want to spend on a barrel. I've been researching a semi-auto .308 for hunting/precision/fun. I've decided on a DMPS platform...
