!!BEWARE!! SPARTAN PRECISION RIFLES AR-10/ 308 Build

[Papa Zero Three]

This is just to let everyone know how FANTASTIC of a job Marc over at Spartan Precision Rifles did on my recent AR-10 build. I had been contemplating getting one of the other AR-10s be it a cookie cutter gun from one of the big mfgrs or a custom gun from other builders. With both having long and uncertain wait times I was looking at the used market as a possibility but wasn't finding what I wanted or what I thought was an acceptable price for a used weapon.

Low and behold, Marc announced he was doing a run on this gun build with an unheard of turn around time for a custom built AR-10 and a great price, so my mind was made up. I finially got around to picking it up from my FFL yesterday and took some time to add the other pieces to it, Larue 20 MOA mount, Bushnell 3.5-21 ERS HDMR H-59, JEC level and target location device. I asked Marc to add the folding stock to the build which he was game for. The only thing I am waiting on is the new PSR Atlas bipod from Kasey, so in the mean time I have a Harris on it. I'll take it out to zero here soon but I am confident that I will be happy with it's performance as the workmanship and attention to detail is superb. Build details are as follows:

I'd like some info on that folding mech if you don't mind.

I'd like some info on that folding mech if you don't mind.

There are a few makers out there that produce buffer tubes that fold. My question is what happens if you fire it while its folded. Do you get death by BCG?

 

[truth]

Hey....wait a sec. I see what you did there.

I realize but the ones i've seen are made for a specialized BCG or 22ars where the BCG don't cycle into the buffer tube.

Marc builds great rifles, I had his 308 that he built to compete in the Oregon Sniper Challenge and should have never sold it!

+1 what happens if you fire with it folded?

LAW tactical makes it. It's not meant to be fired when folded. But the following link provides info and results of firing it while folded.

That rifle is fuckin sexy.

If you fire it while folded you will damage the adapter, but the adapter will retain the bolt carrier group.

 

[Henok]

That's a nice looking rifle. Hope you share a range report.

 

[mallrat]

Like other folding stocks I've seen, it's not intended to be fired in the folded position and damage MAY result. Likely to hold together well enough to prevent injury, though.

Definitely adds to the sexiness of the rifle.

 

[Shoottothrill]

I bet that thing will hammer with good ammo. Nice looking rifle.

 

[lilharcher]

Beautiful rifle....looking forward to the range report.

 

[NorthernRebel27]

Beautiful rifle! After deliberating a bit I've concluded I like the stock adapter. As long as you understand it's limitations and follow the manufacture's warnings, you end up with an interesting modification you won't see very often. Be careful not to take a BCG to the chest and enjoy that beautiful rifle!

Did you get to shoot it yet?

 

[Kamkaze]

Very similar to my custom build, very nice rifle.

Not yet, been traveling a lot lately. Hoping to take it out soon though.

I was getting a rifle built and while in Marc's shop I got to handle one of those and must say it was SWEET! Marc and Vince are building some really nice sticks right now!

Papa - Saw your new stick in Marc's shop - VERY nice and hope you enjoy it. (Had to be yours, as it has the folding stock...) That is a nice kit indeed.

I think Marc still has one or two of these for sale as well.

 

[37841anarchy]

Any range reports on these yet? Thinking about getting one but will have to sell my rifle to get it.

BLUF: Its a very accurate rifle, well worth the money IMO, nothing but good things to say about it. I don't have a long blow by blow review to give or pictures of targets with one bullet hole in it shot from the space shuttle bay doors and no break down of my secret handload recipe. I zero'd it at 100m, shot several confirmation groups, all easily 1/2 -1/4 MOA and then took it out to 800+m on steel. I used M118 factory loads. I like it a lot and I think its an incredible deal given the craftsmanship and the quick availability compared to cookie cutter guns offered by the other mfgrs. As a point of reference, as I know one mans "It's fantastic" might be another mans "It's OK", I have carried and shot an Original SR-25 since they came out and currently shoot a M110 K1 at work as well as have time on OBRs, etc. If you're thinking about getting one of these, rest assured it is well worth the money, if anything, it's a steal IMO. Marc did an incredible job, as usual, and I think anyone who owns one will agree with my assessment on it.

 

[BurnOut]

Man, that's a good looking rifle... heavy barrel, but portable due to the short length/stock adapter. Nice!

Thats what I wanted to hear, short sweet and to the point. Thank you Papa Zero Three.
