^Pretty sure you got me on final cost, but I did ok myself w/ out to much sticker shock.
Picked up lower from ffl tonight. Damn that thing is a, big, fat, lady! Hope the 308 version Phase 5 bolt release will work on this thing. That bolt catch screw in front, looks different than the kind I've seen installed on other brands of 308 lowers. Really want that phase 5 bolt release. Guess I'll find out.
Heres my parts list.
Got a 18" BA govt mid length barrel and Aero bcg from schulers moving sale. $304
A 12" Aero M5E1 rail/upper combo platter. $250
The entry level Geissele G2S (cyber monday sale) $115?
lpk/moe grip psa $29
CH Mega $30 ee
T.D& Pivot $13
A2 stock/kit $65 ee
Lower receiver, shipping, ffl $152.75 Aim
Threaded sling swivel stud $3 Midway
Well... now that I put pen to paper, you totally got me on build cost, lol. Just dont tell the wifie
New glass will have to wait.
Have a few options I can throw on it for now, but leaning towards the PA 4-14X44mm Riflescope - ACSS HUD DMR .308/.223 Reticle
Will wait and see what black friday/cyber monday have in store.
Will post up a few pics when I get it put together. Will need to study what is best option for getting the upper up in a vice, for a one off build...
This is why I was hesitant in doing 308. Worried about buying a whole new set of tools, for a one time deal. Got lucky w/ the barrel nut. The Areo upper comes w/ a proprietary barrel nut and wrench. I use the bev block to slap on ar15 barrels. Will need to see what is best for a ar10. Its always something eh?
