    308 side charger upper ???

    You are absolutely correct. I always neglect the PSC offerings in JP's lineup as the LRP series is by far their more "abundant" platform, but I suppose if you want/need both, the PSC has it. Thanks for the clarification, Kiba.

    308 side charger upper ???

    Neither the JP nor the ASA use a conventional (redundant) CH nor do they have provision for one...ONLY the side-charger. Each company does their own thing in terms of closing off the portion where the traditional CH would be, but they are enclosed/capped off/etc. for both mfgs.

    308 side charger upper ???

    The benefits of the Left-side, non-reciprocating handle should be fairly obvious (at least for righties). You can maintain positioning on the rifle, including keeping your sight picture/view on target and manually operate the rifle as needed without altering your position much at all unlike...

    Proper length for free float handguard

    I wouldn't get too caught up on the length. Provided you get AT LEAST a rifle-length handguard (~12" or so on a basic AR-15) and your gas tube is covered, that's all that matters. The nice thing about the extended lengths is that they allow you to get your bipod further out toward the muzzle...

    7.62 FGMM 175 & Magpul 10rd. mags.

    All of the LR/SR GEN M3 mags regardless of capacity should be able to reliably accommodate anything less than 2.820". If your mags won't...get with Magpul and see what they have to say and what, if anything, they can do to assist you (including asking them whether they somehow changed the specs...

    Cheek Riser for a fixed stock

    Typical BS indeed! I had a feeling that was how this one was shaking out, but there's more than one way to skin a cat thankfully. Hopefully at least one of the other fixes above will get you where you need to be. Good luck and God speed, brother!

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    +1 on knowing the barrel/journal size, along with the handguard you are needing to fit it under. In any event, the best front adjustable designs are those from SLR Rifleworks as well as Syrac Ordnance. SLR's newest "Sentry" design is small enough to fit just about any combo on the market, but...

    Back-up iron sights w/o QD scope rings

    Limited you say... Well, ADM, Bobro, GDI, Larue, and others all make quality QD mounts with 34mm rings. The GDI is arguably the best of the bunch in my experience for QD, but the price being 2-3x some other options puts people off...the ADM mounts however are a real value for the money at <$200.

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    Follow Zac's advice above. An adjustable gas block will allow you to get right to the suspected (and overwhelmingly likely) cause of the failure which is significant overgassing causing the bolt to override the bolt catch/stop. With an adjustable block, you'll be able to both optimize...

    Cheek Riser for a fixed stock

    Possibly, but the Bradley may run into the same issues as the others I mentioned above with regard to the LOP adjustments/mount-up on the M110 stock, as well as possible interference with the CH depending on how far back you can get it mounted, etc. The other "possible" solution that I failed...

    DPMS 260 pierced primer - bolt bushing?

    There are "fixes" in the works for the larger, 0.080" DPMS LR-308 firing pin that would essentially resolve a large part of the cratering/piercing problems, but it is likely still a ways out. You might check in with Hide member LRRPF52 and see if he can offer any assistance/info in the...

    New MK12 MOD O build accuracy issues

    Out of curiosity, what did the test target from PRI indicate in terms of accuracy (and it should have the ammo used listed as well)? PRI generally tests their complete upper assemblies/rifles with Black Hills 77gr (Mk262 commercial equivalent) ammo, so you might try to source 50rnds for...

    Cheek Riser for a fixed stock

    If your CO says "NO" to the mousepad/tape solution, as well as a simple stock swap to something akin to the Magpul PRS, then WTF precisely is he/she willing to permit? I only ask because no matter what you do, it'll be "modifying" the rifle to one extent or another. If you really need more...

    308 side charger upper ???

    Ask and ye shall receive: Bolt Carrier, .308 AR, Side-Cocking, Chrome with Staked Chrome Key I referenced Fulton Armory above, but neglected to provide any links. The above is in stock and ready to roll. The "Titan" parts are DPMS through and through but for the mods made to them by Fulton...

    Back-up iron sights w/o QD scope rings

    For a hunting rig where speed/time is not necessarily of the essence (could very well be in some circumstances though), I don't think that QD is a must or even necessarily preferred. HOWEVER, for a run n' gun rifle that will be used in comps, where time IS of the essence and there's a big...

    Daddy-Daughter Day(girly AR furniture)

    Well done, Dad (on all counts)!! She looks like she's having a ball and while I'm not too big on pink digi-cam patterns, the rifle looks pretty darn good. ;)

    A sign of the times

    Actually...that guy's price on the SK Standard Plus (assuming that's the brick price and NOT per box/50) is decent. Best I've seen in a while where available was ~$60/brick. As to the rest...what more can I say aside from: @$$HOLE!!!!! :mad: Hope he chokes on rimfire at those prices!

    Back-up iron sights w/o QD scope rings

    No...while obviously a QD mount/rings setup in a situation where lives are at stake or the time involved in breaking out a wrench and removing a "standard" mount/rings could pose a real and immediate threat, they are certainly advantageous. If you are talking about your average one-way range...

    Barrett M82 Owners: quick simple question

    What specifically do you mean by "seized up?" As to your question, on the M107/M107A1 (I'm assuming the M82 will function the same), the rifle can be placed on safe and the charging handle/action manually operated with the safety engaged. No issues there.

    Make your own HEAVY BUFFER

    +1 on where you sourced the HD Tungsten power? Last I checked, it was ~$65/lb (more than enough for a couple buffers at present weight)! Also, what did you, specifically, end up doing in terms of "capping" or otherwise "sealing" in the HDTP? Just wondering as I've contemplated different...
