No single stage triggers from Geissele to my knowledge.......the f/a SSA version (SSF) in f/a operates in a single stage.

9point9, I just opened my box of Brit ammo, too, and I'm impressed! It's going to be really good shooting stuff, I'll bet. I may have to buy another just to enjoy opening it, too!

This is the same trigger we chose for the OSR. We consider the SSA one of the best 2-stage triggers on the market. The SSA is a non-adjustable, drop in trigger that takes only a few minutes to install.

I had forgot about Whittaker's, always heard good things about them.
But I just googled LMT 308 and they came up. I really didn't expect them to be in stock when I called. They pulled them off their website today so they must have only had a few. I still won't believe it until it's in my hands. I usually don't come across good deals till it's too late. |

I'm having a hard time deciding what scope to get for it. I find that price a bit surprising. Whittakers is about an hour and half drive from me. They have an amazing selection, and their prices are fair, but that price is much better than I'd expect. I paid $100 more than that from another store before the price increase from LMT, and I thought I got a decent deal. I'm still up in the air on optics too. I either thinking a TA11 ACOG, or something in 1-4x. |

I hear a lot of negativism here directed at .308s with 16" barrels. not in the MWS threads you didn't, nor will you hear it in the KAC SR25 carbine or LaRue OBR threads. while i haven't shot it for groups at 500yds i was able to easily put 12 of 18 rounds on a 9"x9" steel at that distance. i wasn't in a great position, i was steadily talking to two other guys and spotting some of their shots and a few of my shots were of the quick follow up shot variety. i'm pleased with the results. do i think it's a 1000yd gun? no, not really. although the MWS really shined at distance in the British testing. as i've read from LEI, the MWS 16" out shot it's competition from 500m to over 800m. apparently "... as the range increased the difference in accuracy became much more evident." seems to work just fine for Brits to kill taliban tim with, that's good enough for me. edit: pic thread...

Throwing mine in the mix...
...and with another scope option... 
Added a Geissele SSA trigger, MP triggerguard, MP buis, and Trijicon Acog TA11H308 Haven't shot it yet, but this thing weighs a lot less than my DPMS SASS(approximately 3#s), which now is a stepchild compared to the LMT MWS edited to add the obligatory granite kitchen counter pix...

at the moment i'm in between range sessions, i'll get some pics up a bit later.
i've learned two things so far today... 1: don't put your left handed wife, with a lefty AR, on your right side when you're trying to shoot a group. 2: my MWS likes 168 GMM... a lot! edit: pics 
there are 10 rounds here. the low one was all me. the top two were the last two after some position adjusting. i'm no sniper so i'm happy with this. 100yds, 168gr FGMM...

Just remember when your MWS goes missing, LOOK IN HER SHOE CLOSET i think i can get that group size down a good bit. one day i'll use a decent rest and a rear bag. the wife showering me with 5.56 brass didn't do anything to help me out either. i'm sure it may also help if i cleaned my rifle, just under 500 rounds and still no cleaning. the first time i took it out to test different ammo i ran a bore snake between brands but that was a few hundred rounds ago. yeah, she's claimed a good many of MY things. guess who has an ACOG and who needs a new one? it took her a while to get over me selling my SOCOM16 but the MWS has put the smile back. now if she would just get off my case about the 82A1, that's what she wants for our anniversary. i'm going to need another job 
as for iron sights, we both shoot them as much as we can. the set that's on the MWS was what i had on my last Noveske upper, i threw them on the big .308 and they were dead on! not one click of adjustment required. i'm not exactly sure how that kind of thing happens but it sure as hell made me happy. the wife running the irons...

Too funny pal...I am a sucker for a grill pic in use You better hang on to her, she might be the first woman to request a barret 82a1 for an anniversary present ever.....is that not straight WIN?, kill two birds with one stone kinda thing...take care of the whole present thing and why not add a gun that penetrates engine blocks...end times and all you know
Your MWS looks very sexy with just the irons....I am guessing that config is about as KISS as these man-child mws's can get. What kinda groups are shooting w. the irons and at what ranges..50m/100m? I cringed when you said you have not cleaned that hot rod of yours....not because of bad usage or negligence on your part....I just love the thought of me taking a good a hr. after my first range trip with the future MWS...but I have a feeling that first cleaning will have far more molesting than cleaning going on. I am a bit strange and happen to enjoy cleaning firearms and cars very much and have never found it to be chore....I am sure it has nothing to do with being bonkers and having OCD

don't get me wrong, i too enjoy cleaning guns. i think it's good for my sanity. a fellow ARFCOM member had his dirty AR15 in my safe for a few days and when he came to get it... it wasn't dirty anymore. i'm just not cleaning the MWS and his little MRP brother just for the hell of it. well, that and i'm trying to not be so OCD about cleaning. the Marine Corps in me wants to scrub the shit out of every part...

Actually when that pic was took I had just installed the scope and it wasn't sighted in yet. So I haven't shot it at any distance yet. But when I do, I should be able to get between 300 - 400 yds then I'll report back.

I had my eye on a scar or a piston driven .308 the 16" barrel is working out just fine for me. a little bit of *loss* on the far end isn't that much of an issue. for target shooting i'll use this out to 800 or so. for critters i wouldn't expect to take a shot much over 600 and i've got no issues killing things with a 16" 308 at that distance. if a 5.56 can do it a 7.62 can do it better
i'm not a piston guy so i may not be the best guy to give you an opinion. i see no need/use for one in this platform. sure there are some awesome piston rifles on the market, i just don't see the point. just under 500 rounds through my MWS with NO cleaning. if i'm lucky i'll get to run another 2-300 rounds through it today. edit: now with more KAC...
