Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ArizonaRifleman: You have me curious now @ParaBellum123 What Surefire device is underneath that Warden and how's the muzzle recovery? @ArizonaRifleman I used a standard (non-warcomp) Surefire 3 Prong, and it works beautifully along with the warden. With everything shown in that pic, it's heavy enough to manage recoil without a traditional brake, so follow-up shots are doable. I made everything quick detach so that I can easily go back and forth between a lightweight setup and a heavy mid-range setup. It's got a heavy profile barrel which adds to the weight. As shown: 13.4 LBS Minus Scope, ADM Mount, Bipod, and Warden = 9.01 LBS Trigger is the Geissele Designated Marksman which is phenomenal tuned to around 2.5/3lbs. |

I think I'm calling this done. The el cheapo bipod will go back on a .22 rifle once I zero it with hunting ammo and it'll hopefully knock down a caribou this fall.

@ParaBellum123 Did you order that direct from Monty and Claire and did they have their shop pick a barrel for you or was this a home assembled? Asking because if they have a 308 barrel but not listed, I'd like to ask them about getting one for myself in 18 and rifle gas for an LR308 pattern bolt.

@Arizonarifleman
The barrel is actually a Spikes 14.5” 308. Monte doesn’t offer a 308 that I’ve seen, but I know they’re currently revamping their MK11 receivers to be ambi, so that may possibly be in the works. If they do ever offer them, I’ll be buying one. |

Thanks for the info. I though it looked like it, so I wanted to make sure. I'm in the process of building out an Aero M5 receiver set and I was curious if I could get away with running the A5 system. So, my next question is, since your Armalite has their specific gas tube length and you're running the H3 buffer, what would be a good recommendation for a spring and buffer combo for my 16 inch barrel with an actual mid length gas tube length? I have a rifle length Geissele Super 42 spring and a Springco green spring laying around as spares and a myriad of carbine buffers from H to H3. This gun will be run suppressed with a Dead Air Sandman S. |

He also likes to talk but not ramble so be prepared to take notes as he does a knowledge transfer. However I will say that I am considering a Tubbs 308 carbine & rifle gas flat wire on a trial basis and hang on but I do have the spring he told me to get as a spare part when the Armalite one goes south or if it does. Let me check to see which one it is here...DPMS pattern orange extra power spring. If you just want to get the actual Armalite parts, here's this kit and just the spring itself. But only the extension kit is showing in stock. |

I saw the pic you posted of your rifle, got inspired, and started this project. I decided to go with the 13 inch MLOK rail as I have plans to do a 14.5 barrel down the road. The barrel I have now was given to me by a friend that works at a local shop and it is in really good condition, so I'll use it for now. |

I just bought a few boxes, since it was the cheapest option at the local shop, to test and tune this rifle before I started using ammunition that is meant for accuracy such as Federal Gold Medal Match. I am heading back out to the range on Sunday to see how it runs with my Dead Air Sandman S, but I'm still using the cheaper ammo to make sure everything works. |

If I could get more 308 Pmags in coyote tan ever again, it would be black instead of red to signify AP. I also have blue for 130 TTSX, silver for incendiary, gold for Speer Gold Dot Soft Points and Federal Fusion MSR, and unmarked for practice fodder. In fact I would definitely use all coyote tan for each type with associated colors to free up more blacks for range use. |

Nice build, just generally curious on the optic placement. |

I always love the look of the Armalite AR10, especially the older ones with the roll marks, not todays laser etching crap. Mark Westrom really did an outstanding job with them, IMHO you just don't see that kind of quality today. Armalite had offered what they called their A2 front sight base, which is to be used with their detachable carry handle on the AR10. Its 2.77" tall (the "F" marked AR15 FSB is 2.62”). I got lucky and found one for sale. I was thinking of cloning this:   And have JT cut and reprofile the barrel, but still on the fence about it. I have no problems scoring hits at 500m with it using iron sights, and I'm worried that if I had the barrel reprofiled, it may affect accuracy. And I don't think it would save much weight either. But who knows, maybe one day I'll have that done. But either way, I'm very happy with it. |

Nice build, just generally curious on the optic placement. The eyebox on it is pretty forgiving distance wise. Vortex says 3.7” and it feels about that. Height was a bit of a pain, I think I needed about 1/4” on the PRS lite to consistently be in the right spot. I haven’t been able to do a notable round count on the rifle yet due to ammo costs up here, but I’ll report back if I have any issues. |
