For any of you that have already assembled your Mega Maten builds, what did you use as vise blocks or holding mechanisms for your upper and lower receivers? Are there vise blocks available for sale that fit the Maten .308 receivers? And (if it fits) is a traditional vise block like the DMPS .308 "panther claw) safe enough for barrel installation? You'd think I would have given this some thought BEFORE all the parts started showing up at my door. Ha.

I didn't have or use a vise block. What I did was use two pieces of 1/2" corian cut to fit the upper. One to support the top rail and the other to fit snugly between the attachment lugs and placed in a vise. My uppers are Mega and seemed pretty stout around the front of the ejection port, which is usually the weakest point on an ar15. I don't really recommend this, but with a little fore thought on what is going on and the forces involved, it can and has worked for me.

I used the DPMS claw for an AR-15 turned on its side with a piece of cutting board on the other end. Worked like a charm.

I used Armalite's blocks that fit the AR10 and 15. I had to dremel a bit of material on the bottom piece so it would fit snug against the receiver. Works great.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. For what it's worth, I called Mega Arms direct to see if they had any suggestions. They recommended using the DPMS .308 panther claw.

All these builds look great. I have my upper/lower set and my barrel. Now I just need to figure out which handguard...which I keep going around in circles with.
I have the JP VTAC version of this rail on one of my ARs and it is definitely a little heavy, but apparently this model is supposed to be 3-4oz lighter. I like how the accessory rails screw directly into the rail without having to use backer plates. Anyone handle or use one of these? 
Also looking at the Apex rail and the soon to be released Midwest Industries Keymod (but don't know if I can wait much longer). |

I have read thru most all of this thread. There is a lot of talk about the JP Rifles LMOS low mass bolt carrier group being one of the best groups to use for a build. From what I can see, the JP LMOS bolt carrier group must be used with the JP low mass buffer which appears to be a rifle length buffer. If it is rifle length, then it must be used with a rifle length buffer tube instead of a carbine length buffer tube. Is this correct?
I want to use a carbine length buffer tube on mine along with a carbine collapsible stock like a Magpul CTR stock. Am I correct in thinking that the JP low mass bolt carrier group and the JP low mass buffer will not work in a carbine length buffer tube? |

OK. Is this combination possible- an M4 carbine buffer tube, Magpul CTR stock, M4 buffer of some sort such as H1 or possibly a Slash buffer, then the JP low mass 308 bolt carrier and JP 308 bolt assembly.

I don't see a reason why that would not work. One more point of interest, is that I'm also running an adjustable gas block. It's on there because the rifle will eventually be run with a suppressor. Nevertheless, it's handy to have for tuning purposes. I'd say with the adjustable gas block and the JP low mass BCG you should be able to run any combo of buffer and buffer spring you want and be able to tune it. All that being said, I do plan to eventually pick up a JP silent capture spring.

I was considering WMD's 308 bcg for my build bc I have one for my 300blk and really like it, but I read some things saying they were part of the 762Industries debacle. |

I don't think JP makes anything other than a low-mass carrier for the 308. I could be wrong, though. I don't know if a bolt and barrel need to be head-spaced for "best fit" purposes. I confirm the head-space on my barrels mainly for safety purposes. So far I've had no issues with my JP bolt and Rainier Arms barrel (which I did check the head-space on before shooting). Granted, I haven't shot it a ton yet either, but enough to confidently say that there have been no issues. |

Ok, I've been doing a lot of research and reading. I know the "rule" is that you can't mix and match the different patterns (armalite/DPMS). In my searches I've seen several times now that there are people running DPMS pattern complete BCG with Noveske barrels (armalite extension). It also states on JP Enterprise's site that as long as you use the complete LMOS BCG, you can use it in both DPMS and Armalite patterns. So wouldn't you think this could/would be the same across the board -- meaning as long as it's a complete BCG it will work/space out correctly? If not, how is it that JP can? Is it that some people get lucky with their dimensions and the go/no-go gauges spec out for them?
I'm curious because I'm in the middle of my MaTen build and I have a Noveske barrel, but I really want to get an RCA, WMD or similar with a unique finish on (like it for the ease of cleaning on my ARs). I suppose I could get an armalite bcg and get a company like WMD to coat it, but I don't really want to deal with buying parts, sending them off, etc...the whole patience thing. Thanks for any and all help fellas. Some great looking builds in here. |

Buy one from a reputable dealer and see. If it doesn't headspace and function check correctly, send it back.
As stated several times in this thread, its a good idea to stick with known quality brands. Not just for quality parts, but for service if you need it. |

Don't hop on bandwagons as I never impulse buy without doing my homework first. RCA seems to be building a good reputation. I'm pretty sure they're what the Noveske gunners run in their rifles now. WMD has been around for a bit and I have one of their BCGs in one of my ARs. Having both standard and NiB coated carriers, I prefer the coated ones for ease of cleaning. Thanks. |

Just get the Armalite and have it coated. There are plenty of shops that do the same coatings as WMD, and will probably have a quicker turn around.
I live in Houston, so I have a ton of shops to pick from. Haven't decided which one yet, as I'm not to concerned with cleaning yet. But, I do plan on having my carrier Melonited, and bolt chromed. With extensions, I've read numerous things. But, for the most part, I've found out exactly what you said. Extensions are dimensionally the same, but it's not a bright idea to mix bcg components. But if you do say use an Armalite carrier and DPMS bolt, I believe you'd have to use a DPMS firing pin. But it's always Best to use a complete bcg rather than pieces from multiple sources. |

finally got my BCG on Wed, checked the headspace and threw it together that night. Took it out yesterday to break-in the barrel, tune the gas block and 100 yard zero with cheap rem core-lokt ammo. I shot a total of 15 rounds and my last 4 had a 7/8" group. Wasn't expecting that but was pleased with it. Either the barrel likes that ammo or it's a sign of good things to come when I start loading my own.

Ok so I have bern debating over and over SCAR 17 or build a MEGA. The scar was even more tempting due to the fact I can get one for 2450$, but now I think I am set on building. I will have a gunsmith put my upper together since I don't have the tools anyone know what that should cost? Here is my part list I am thinking.
MEGA METAN upper/ambi lower Lilja 18" barrel JP enterprise low mass BCG JP silent capture buffer spring Syrac adjustable gas block Geissele SSA-E Magpul ACS-L PSA LPK Phase5 bolt catch Bravo company mod1 compensator And I think a midwest industries one piece Free float SS-series hand guard 15" Any recommendations or changes you guys can think of? |

Hey Guys do I use a standard mil spec buffer tube or the DPMS 308 Milspec tube. Will the JP silent capture spring fit in both? You listed the Magpul ASC-L, which uses a carbine length buffer tube. So, you'll simply get a DPMS carbine length tube. Do they actually differentiate between 308 and AR-15? If so, I would assume they have identical dimensions (and possible identical part numbers). What WILL be different are the buffers, but you are using the JP SCS so you'll want to make sure you pick up the 308 version of it. I believe the JP SCS will work with both buffer tubes (carbine and rifle). I think it fits carbine length buffer tubes out of the box and requires a spacer (that should come with it) when used with rifle length buffer tubes. |

I just noticed I think it was midway stated DPMS 308lr milspec buffer tube, I think it may be that it comes with a 308 buffer spring and weight
