I completed this build a few days ago and was able to hit the range today to test it out. The only ammo I had  was 150gr American Eagle, but it proved to be very good ammo for break in and general range use. There were no issues with the gun at all. Accuracy was very nice at 50 yds. I'll run it out to 100 next time.

I have to admit that I like this better than my SBR 10.5" suppressed 5.56. This one will not be suppressed.

Build details:
BA Hanson 8.3" barrel
Aero Precision upper
RRA SBR Lower with Larue MBT Trigger (I SBR'd this many many years ago)
Aero Precision 7" Atlas rail
Toolcraft Nitride BCG
KAK Slimline 308 MB
Spikes gas tube
Weaver 1-3x20 w/ AP lightweight mount (this optic is perfect for this gun)





5 shot group. I threw one out



The 3 shot group was a sight in group. Once adjusted, I was able to put them in the center as fast as I could pull the trigger.

Good looking gun.

Nice! Very similar to what Im currently building and we have a lot of the same parts:

BA Hanson 8.3" barrel
Aero Precision upper
Larue MBT trigger
Toolcraft Nitride BCG
Spikes gas tube
AP lightweight mount

Mines getting:

Aero lower
Aero Quantum 9" handguard (have a Ghost 9" and also STNGR HWK 10")
SBA3 brace
Kaw Valley compensator
PA 1-6 K.I.S.S reticle

Why no suppressor in the planning?  That round suppresses nicely even in supersonic. Something like an Omega 9k isn't much longer than that flash can and really takes the edge off supers and suppresses subsonics into hearing safe range.

I'm a big fan of low power optics as well as BA barrels.  Other than ammo cost it's pretty ideal for a maneuverable rifle and you shouldn't have any trouble finding a load that will group around 1-1.5 Moa.

I've really lost interest in suppressors. I purchased my first in 2001 and have several in 9mm, .22, and 5.56. I have no desire or time to engage in another long NFA wait.

I have everything to reload the 300blk round, so not too concerned with the cost of shooting.

Nice choice of parts. You will love it. The BA barrel is a smooth shooter.

Thanks! Ensuring to hear. Im getting the receiver and rail Cerakoted in Tungsten, got a deal for 50% off services over 4th of July. Im itching to get this thing built and this step of the process isnt helping
