Just picked this up from GAP today. I've been waiting patiently since around the end of Feb. It is on a DPMS upper and lower. Now I am waiting on my Nightforce F1 to show up. Hopefully it gets here this week. It was supposed to have shipped out last week.

Obviously, my anger has jealousy at it's root.

Nice gun man- I bet you are going to love it! Congrats! </div></div>

Haha I thought the same thing every time I would see someone post pics of their new rifles from GAP. I was excited to finally get to pick it up. I can' wait to take it out. I also dropped off my 18" Templar .308 to get the barrel threaded.
 
Re: My new .308 AR GAP rifle

Nice rifle! I have been thinking of getting one of those. I will look forward to your range report. Took 12 months. How do you guys deal with those wait times? Do you get all itchy and get a twitch?
 
Re: My new .308 AR GAP rifle

Nice rifle, I just received mine very similar to that a few weeks ago, Armalite upper and lower, 20" Bartlein barrel with AAC 7.62 SD suppressor. I would post pics if I was not such the technotard. My gun is a great shooter by the way you will be very happy with yours. Congrats
 
Re: My new .308 AR GAP rifle

That is nearly exactly what I would like to order. I read somewhere on here that they are starting to accept orders again for their gas guns. I am not sure if that is the case but I sent them an email a couple of days ago. How much did you have to put down for them to start the build?
 
Re: My new .308 AR GAP rifle

It looks great.........can I ask with DPMS upper and lower besides the barrel upgrade what custom work did GAP do for you. YOu are a patient man..........I would have to 2nd the nervous twitching and calling GAP every week saying things like "if I paid more could I get it sooner?"

Yes I was all itchy and twitchy waiting for it to get finished. The only thing that helped was that I was in Iraq up until 6 weeks ago.

I can't wait to shoot it. I just sent my paperwork of to the ATF for my AAC cans. Hopefully it doesn't take 6 months to get the paperwork in.

OP, is that a Daniel Defense Rail and does it sit higher than the rail on the receiver or is it flush?

Kevin</div></div>
Yes it's a DD rail. It sits just a hair higher but from a few feet away it isn't too noticeable.

I'll post a range report once I get my Nightforce and get it zeroed in.

I ended up just paying the total amount up front. I don't recall what they asked for up front. It might have been a couple hundred.

I ordered the same build they have on their website. I called a couple dozen times over the whole year wait.
 
Re: My new .308 AR GAP rifle

You made it a year of waiting with all the GAP DPMS SASS rifles that came on the Hide for sale - you are a patient man. I wish I could do that.

.308 has some authority...

He's gonna LOVE that GAP!

We are about to celebrate our one-year anniversary, next week! I ordered mine Oct 2008, for some reason. It got in just under the 'rush', and I had it Feb '09, in 4 months, just as promised, actually 3 days early... those were the salad days...

I know. It was hard. If I wouldn't have paid up front I may have broke down and bought one from here.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rat-30</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: brasscow</div><div class="ubbcode-body">When you see a pig that size you are glad you have a .308 </div></div>

I'm excited. Just waiting on the scope. Should be here any day now. I wish mine would have taken 4 months but hey at least I finally have it.

It looks nice. How do the Pmags function with it?

The Nightforce came in but the rings were too short. I had to order a set of Badger Ultra high rings. They should be here Monday.
